RUNS AMUCK
Shoots Up Chair Car on
Rock Island Killing One
Wounding Others
DENVER, June 22.—There was a
«booting ^ffray on the chair car of the
west-bound passenger on the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railroad last
night between Dresden and Seiden, In
which T. B. Topp, A tailor of Minne
apolis was killed and Mrs. Morris
Oleson and her sister, Mrs. Harry
Blakesley, of Arriba. Colorado, were
wounded.
The shootings was done by an Italian
barber named John Bells, of Boston,
en route to San Francisco, who ran
amuck. After mos\ people were dozing
In their chairs they were awakened,
from their sjumber by frantic yells and
pistol shots.
Bells fired five shots In rapid suc
cession, taking accurate aim at one
passenger after another. People fled
from the car In a panic, except Charles
A. GUliat, of Denver, an employe of
the Griffin Wheel Co., and D. R. Slaw
son, of Pueblo, Colo. Gllllat closed In
with Bells and In a desperate strug
gle succeeded In wrenching the pistol
from the Italian's hand, but not before
he had fired two shots which did not
hit anybody.
Bells then drew a razor and made a
desperate but Ineffectual effort to use
It. A negro porter from the tourist
car here Joined in the struggle and
succeeded in knocking the razor out
of Bells hand, who was then seized
and bound by GilliaL
The train crew stayed outside the
car while the disturbance was in
progress.
At Goodland the injured women
were placed in the hospital, and Bells
and his companion, Patsy Loganzbraili,
were locked In Jail. Mrs. Bells said
the men were drinking all day yester
day and Bells went to sleep and awoke
with a start, Imagined some one was
trying to rob him and rushed up the
aisle firing his pistol.
WILL CANCEL
LAND PATENTS
day
PORTLAND, Ore., June 22. —The j
Oregonian said today that seeking to |i
cancel six coal land claims in Lewis
county, Washington, 40 miles east of
-Chehalis, patented to Portland men,
the government yesterday filed suit in
the United States circuit court at Ta
coma, charging that the patents were
secured by fraud.
The government alleegs that E. E.
Lytle, William Crooks, Joel M. Long
and A. L. Mohler and others "entered
Into conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment out of the tltl£ to the aforesaid
lands," and that they, "believing said
land to contain large and valuable de
posits of coal, procured and obtained
certain persons to make filings there
on.'
The lands In Question were patented
In 1903 to stockholders of the Portland
Coal and Coke company, composed of
nearly 50 men, nearly all of Portland.
This company, the government alleges,
Is a "subsidiary of the O. R. & N.'
meaning that It exists for the purpose
of passing the land from the patentees
to the O. R. & N. for whom It is char
ged the coal projoct has been pro
moted.
The Oregonian says that the com
uregoman says uuu <•*«= -—
plaint charges that the defendants had
filed on 17 other claims, but these,
latter had been held up in the general i

SAN FRANCISCO, June 22.—The ;
situation in connection .with the strike j
„„i, , ,
or operators is quiet.
A conservative estimate of the num- j P
ber of men out is 200. The service is |
maintained In the offices of both com- ( *
panies by the officials, together with a
one or two men and women who re
mained loyal.
Superintendent Jaynes, of the West
ern Union, is accredited with the
statement that the company hopes to
be running fairly well In another week.
It was learned last night that 15 oper
ators for the Western Union were on
their way from the East and had pass
ed Rawlins, Wyoming. It is believed
that others will follow.
Whether the strike will extend to
other cities is undetermined. The com- j
panies will not hold conferences with
the officials of the union and this may I
lead to calling a strike in other cen
ters.
Superintendent May, of the Western
Union, said today the company antici
pated a strike and has between 50 and
60 men at work. A speedy increase of
the number of men at work is anti
cipated. The company refuses to
recognize the union in any manner
whatever.
Superintendent Storer, of the Postal
Telegraph company, said today that
they were tiding over the trouble very
____I
well' considering the circumstances,
an.d had nearly one-t'n rd of their
former force on duty.

here, and with this end In view they
will be extended out In almost every
direction from Rupert, either following
or reaching to all the main laterals on
the project. On the south side, three
stations will be put in; one at the up
per end of the canal, one at the lower
end and one at a point nearly the cen
