Feeling Tense in Strike District
as Inquest Into Deaths of
Seventy-two Goes On.
A LUMET. MICH , Dec. 30.—A
.-nse situation had developed here
day with more than 500 armed
itizens walking; the streets looking
,r an outbreak on the part of the
striking copper miners and their
.vmpathizers. Intense bitterness has
developed over the testimony at the
oroner's inquest into the death of 72
i tims of the Christmas Eve panic,
vhlch tended to show that the man
vhn shouted Are in Italia Hall wore a
it izens' Alliance badge. This testi
mony, however, has not been abso-
tteiy convincing and controverting
.itnesses are looked for this after
noon.
The feeling is further intensified by
-te continued arrivals of strikebreak
ers, principally from New' York, and
■ he 'ilizens’ Alliance is just as bitter
gainst the strike leaders.
Houses of the more prominent mer-
hants are guarded by detectives and
■ !Ti< ers of the mines and members of
■ ho Western Federation of Miners
walk the streets with two or three
husky gunmen following closely.
Nor has the theft of the moving
picture films of the big funeral tend
ed to improve matters. The Aim
operator reported that his room in
the hotel where the pictures were
ept had been broken Into and the
films stolen. The theft Is being vig
orously denounced as an attempt to
s’iAe publicity for the cause of the
miners.
Representative members of the cit
izens’ organization to-day declared
that the. Western Federation of Min
ors’ agents would be driven out of the
■t ’alumot region, and that Charles H.
Moyer, president of the union, who ts
now in Chicago recovering from a
bullet wound which he says was in
dicted by one of a mob of citizens
who drove him from Houghton last
Friday night, will not be permitted to
return to the district.
The inquest proceeded to-day and
lust before Attorney O. N. Hilton,
representing" the Western Federation
Of Miners, left for the Red Jacket
•own hall he said conAdentiy that he
would produce several witnesses who
would swear that the alarmist who
started the Christmas Eve panic was
i member of the Citizens’ Alliance.

Lillian Lorraine Traps Husband as
He Offers to Help Seek
Stolen Gems.
NEW YORK. Dec. 30.—Frederick
Greisheimer, of Chicago, estranged
husband of Lillian Lorraine, was
served with papers in a separa
suit when he called at her request to

heimer is here,’’ he said to the clerk at
the desk. And he added: “I’m no
easy mark, you know.”
A moment later a trim maid step
ped out of the elevator and present
ed Greisheimer with two envelopes—
one dainty and small, the other long,
and bearing a distrustful legal air
about It.
Greisheimer seized the smaller en
velope and glanced at it. Then he
tore it >nto fine shreds and stamped
his feet upon the marble floor. His
friend rescued the legal envelope
from a similar fate.
“You see,” Miss Lorraine said,
“they were the papers in my sepa
ration suit which I had had prepared
this afternoon. When I heard that he
had called, 1 saw my opportunity.
And it worked like a charm, did it
not? I don’t doubt that he was a
wee bit angry. Wouldn’t you be?”
The complaint charges inhuman
treatment and desertion. Miss Lor
raine Bays he threatened her with his
fists and told her he would cut off
her nose.
Greisheimer said he already has
started to have papers prepared in a
tioiW suit for civorce against his wife. He
will name, according to his statement,
two persons.
