narrow confines of public vehicle, with one OF
the brave warriors of the army Of labor, who
had fallen at his post. , S. -,
The poor fellow was not yet dead, for when
they arrived at the door of the hospital he gave

SO aattered By this condescenson as to forget
all their grievances and bury all their animQsl-
