One non-union teamster made the mistake of running counter to the pa rage. Just as tho parade was form ing at Seventh and Lh&vis streets, he attempted to drive through It and waa halted. He at once lost hla tem per, drew a revolver and dismounted from his wagon, offering to whip the irowrl. He was set upon, his revolver waa taken away from him and he was severely beaten.

Members of Hillside Church Hear J Terrific Explosion, Thought to Have Been Caused by Frag ments Striking Xear Gales. Members of the congregation of the little church at Hillside, a hamlet on the United Railways Just west of Port land, were startled from their pews by a terrlflo explosion at 12:20 Sunday after noon. It was rhe passing meteor which burst near that place and tho explosion shook the building and rattled the win dowa. The congregation thought it was the explosion of a powder-house on the United Railways, and before the rever berations had died down In the hills, they had swarmed out of church, where they found everyone gazing skyward at a trail of smoke in the celestial vault. J. E. Lewton, of Mount Tabor, was vis iting the Balles ranch at that place and says that Uie echo lasted for almost a minute. He was standing In the doorway of the ranch house at the time when he rav be saw the meteor flashing through the sky. Suddenly, he says. It dipped, apparently into the forest, when he heard, at the same time, the terrific explosion. It Is now believed that Sunday's meteor broke Into two pieces, one going seaward and the other striking southwest of Gales City Postoffice, where the observ er at the Balles ranch last saw It. Pro fessor J. W. Daniels, astronomer, says that meteors very often do divide and that Ihey explode with great frequency. Sometimes, he says, they burst In mid air, on account of the heat generated bv friction with the air, and more often on striking the earth on account of the great heat caused by striking the ground expanding the gas in the pores to the bursting point. In such an event, he says, the meteorite explodes to an In tangible powder and nothing Is ever found. This fa believed now to have been the fate of at least a part of the meteor which swept over Oregon with such dax rllng brilliancy on Sunday afternoon.
