The Brunswfck Mill Affair

! statement in Yesterdays Enterprise
giving his version of the trouble "A,
the Brunswick Mill. In this. as in
similar cases, there are two sides to
the story; and we must say tn lat the
Superintendent makes a plau>ihle

conflict of statement. that will not
admit of reconci.Iat."u. hrtw cen the
parties. But inasIntch as the APPEAL
was the first paper to notice the affair.
and gave but one version, the only
one We could get, of the difficulty. in
justice to Mr. Hardy We give the sub
stance of his statement. Hr. Hardy
says he has been much mi-represented
in the pareis: has been made to appear
as n man utterly heaTtless and wnntOnly
cruel rs it was made to appear that he
! had discharged II man for attending the
| funeral of his own child. He said that
trouble had been brewing in the mill and
rings had been formed to drive him out
| long before, and what occurred at the
time Of the funeral Of the child was only
made All excuse for the trouble which
| followed. He says that previous to the
affair Of last Friday ring was formed
| against him by the men in the pan
room; that the men were running the
mill in such way that they were not
crushing rs mach ore by ten or fifteen
tons per twent, four hons as should
have been put through the mill. They
did this by over feeding the batteries.
by hanging up stamps, by allowing the
sand slGices to clog up. and by manas-
ing to have something out of order and
going wrong all of the time. They had
determined that be shonld not succeed
and that they would worry him out of
the mill. Ho denies that he discharged
Nr. Hickey tor attending the funeral of
his child. and asserts that the assault
was first made by Mr. Hickey.
MAD Cow.-About FIVE days ago a COW
got into the enclosure in front of the .
Warm Springs Hotel. and. in attempting
to cross the deep ditch there, fell in. She .
was discovered and tho men about the /
hotel procured ropes and placed them
sround her horns ard pulled her out.
One rope was pulled from her horns.
and, as the Lostler Of the Warm Springs
Hotel was trying TO take off the other.
the COW made a dash al him Bv good
running and lodging. the hostler sue
ceeded in making his escape. amid tho
Ieers and laughter of those who had Sc
cured safe places for them selves The
COW then started up the road toward
Carson, and attacked-or made demons
trations as if she would attack-every
pedestrian who passed. Young Cleve-

which would not eat, but was on tho
constant lookout, staring at every Pass
ng object with wild ewes. Finally, last
friday the COW became so much exhaust
ID from want food that she could no
onger stand, and she laid down by the
opposite Dufy's ranch. 1t

water were brought her, both Of which
he partook. But she had too long ns-
lectcd food, and finally died, where she

INCREASE IN PosTAGE.-The fact that

any. The General Postoffice Appro-
