The storm started near Predenbury, Sask., traveling east to Dauphin, Manitoba, moved back toward Winnipeg and turned south. Only meagre details were re ceived here. According to reports, petitions for the recall of Sheriff Charles K. Ter rill were circulated throughout the bounty today. The movement Is al leged to be backed by the V. C. T. U. and Ministerial associations of this city and Ashland. Kor over a year, threats of recall have been hanging orer the sheriff, and, the present one Ik tald to be the outgrowth of this agitation. D. M, Lowe, the well known farmer tnd fair exhibit collector has consent ed to make the race against Sheriff Terrlll. ' It la also reported that recall peti tions will also be circulated at once for one other, and possibly two, coun ty officials. v BELOW COLONELS WASHINGTON, June 23. Suspen sion of promotion of all army officers below the grade of cclonel, effective at once was understood to have been de ctdetj upon by the senate military committee today. The action was tkon largely as a result, it was said, of provisions Included In the annual amly appropriation bill which places fc six months bar against promotions afler July 1.

RIALTO SUNDAY HOOT GIBSON in 'SURE FIRE " The correspondent saw men wound- 6(1 almost to death, kicked around In i the Bcorching sun In dusty roads. He saw men chased through fields like 'rabbits by shouting persons who open ed fire, once catching him acciden tally between two fires. Surrounded by ai med men, he saw a knifo plung- i ed into the throat of a wounded men j w ho In his dying breath gasped a plea "in the name of my mother, in the : name of your mother, In the name of j our God, give me water," only to re celvo laughs and jibes such as "were you're going you won't see water," as ' a reply. I Few of the dead could be positively Identified. Most ot them had been I 'rifled of all effects. After lying piled ; In the morgues yesterday, they were embalmed last night. Scores watched the processes all through the night, making unprintable remarks about the bodies. That today would bring official ac tion of some kind was undoubted. That this action would bring little in the way of results was the prediction of every one in touch with the situa tion. The order of Governor Small last night to hold J. 000 men of the mili tia in readiness in Chicago was greet ed on the streets here with sarcastic comment. A member of the police force told the correspondent that If troops were Bent here he'd take "the night jnllcq force and clean them out." Inquiry developed that lie was the night police force himself. The request of the governor for an official report brought more sarcasm, the gist of which seemed to be that there was nothing to report officially. Karly this morning several Newspa permen were privately Informed that plans were afoot to burn a number of mines rfhich In previous years bad la bor troubles. All that remains of the Lester mine Is a heap of ashes, for it was set on fire shortly after the attackers cap tured It. Karly today Sheriff Thaxton told newspaper men that the situation was well in hand and there was no danger. That was the only official statement in the early hours of the day. H ERR IN, Ills., June 23. (By the Associated Press.) The massacre of non-union miners In the woods near the Strip mine ot the Southern Illin ois Coal company, where they were employed, was the act of a mob which got beyond control of the cooler ele ment, which was attempting to escort the captives to Herrln to "show them oft to the boys." according to in formation gleaned today. The leaders, it was said, finally were compelled to yield to the cla mors ot the mob that the prisoners "beat It." The fleeing men thereupon were shot down, beaten to death, and one was known to have been hanged. Although a number of the miners Shudder at ' the ' slaughter, all say "they got Just what they deserved." As soon as the 4 4 Btrlp employes surrendered yesterday morning, a cry went up for the lives of the cap tives, persons who say they wore eye witnesses. The cooler elements, how ever, advised that tho prisoners be marched into town, paraded before the townspeople and then sent away. The cooler element marched Just be hind the prisoners, who were at the bead ot the procession, and the dis orderly element flocked behind and beside them. There -were cries of ' "beat It," which grew Into a chorus, but the leaders withstood tho demand until they arrived at a wooded section about three miles from here. There the clamor Increased and the mob prossed around the fear stricken prisoners, some of whom mumbled, apparently in prayer. Witnesses say the leaders, feeling unable longer to resist the crowd's clamor, said to the prisoners: "Yes, you'd better beat It." Then followed the massacre. How many of the prisoners realised that It was to be a flight of death can not bo known. Between the road and the woods on tho right side, there was a barbed wlro fence. Moso of the prisoners, probably) thinking vaguely that It would be something to have the fence between them and the mob, began climbing through the fence. They had difficulty with their suitcases. There were shouts of "drop your suitcases, you won't need them." which appealed to the humor of the Jeering mob. Jlost ot the prisoners dropped their suitcases and scrambled through and scurried Into the woods. The shooting was under way and the killing was on throughout the woods. Men were running and dodging and the crowds were following and shoot ing at them. When one fell, the crowd closed In and fired a volley Into the prostrate form. The throats of two were cuL As the men were shot down, crowds gathered and watched them breath their last, Jeering and scoffing. One of the wounded men to whom the correspondent talked in the woods, said he was a steam shovel worker. The men who crowded about him. said: "You ought to know better than to take the bread from Union men's months. NEW THREATS ARE MADE !
