Open war fare, in which guns and dynamite were used, broke out in Butte tonight lu the trouble between factions of the miners' union. One man was killed, one was mor tally wounded, another was less seri ously hurt, In a fusillade by deputy sheriffs, who were keeping the crowds back from the Miners union hall. Three charges of dynamite were ex- pioueu in and under the hall, the front of which was blown out. The crowds had pressed on the Miners' union hall In consequence of a scheduled meeting there, at which President Moyer, of the Western Fed eration of Miners, was to outline a peace plan. Most of the shots were fired Into the air by the olficers. The shooting of tho three men apparently took most of the nerve out of the crowd and they quickly backed a distance of two blocks from each slue of the hall. A hundred deputies with sawed-off shotguns were holding the hall. Sheriff Drlscoll, shortly after the firing began and after the crowd was forced down the street, appeared at the entrance of the hall and shouted that he wanted 500 deputies. No re sponse waa made to the sheriff's ap peal. ErneBt Noy, traveling inspector for the Montana demurrage bureau, a by stander, was the man killed. The bul let passed through his neck. The mortally wounded man Is J. H. Drone, aged 62. He was shot through the bead and cannot live. Brune was proceeding upstairs to the miners' hall to attend the meeting when a bul let struck him. The deputies appar ently fired on any one in eight who approached the hall. The third wounded man la Charles Kramer, of Los Angeles, a spectator. The bullet grazed his stomach. He Is not seriously hurt. nnrflntit iL-llh anitnronllv IIIiIa fuflpua He was able to crawl from his ranch, store wnere campers can get tneir pro where the ahootine occurred, to the visions, and the Chautauqua "cafe- town of Copperflold. alter he had been teria" Is to be operated on a more ex attacked. - . tensive scale than last year, but with the same first class service.

H Much. InteTeifris centering In the baseball series lo be played during the coming assembly. Last year Clacka mas grabbed the first honors. Oregon City will be strengthened this year by several player of last year's Clacka mas aggregation, including Mulkey, Burdon and Hargreaves, three clever amateur stars. Molalla, Macksliurg and Estacada all boast of first class nines and Clackamas hackers aver that they have already strengthened up the gaps caused In their team by the Ore gon City men. The series will prove most Interesting as the teams are all evenly matched and all are Clackamas county organization. Out Molalla way and at Mackslmrg it la planned to send big delegations of rooters to help the respective teams from those districts, while reports from the Estacada camp are to the effect that the players from there will hold their own throughout the series. The Oregon City team held its first practice with the new men at Gladstone park Thursday, and it is said the "warming ud" was a hummer. The big program of music, lectures and countless entertainment features which is now being circulated, has at tracted wide-spread attention. From Ashland, Oregon, Secretary Cross re ceived Thursday the following letter from G. F. Billings, an old Chautauqua man: "Your program is the finest ever issued typographlcaly, and con tains tne greatest array of Chautauqua talent you have ever assembled." Each ay requests are coming in by the dozen for the booklet and assist ants will bo kept busy mailing them out for another week at least. W. L.
