Bob Rowland has opened brewery in
Tuscarora. The local of the Enterprise says;
Bobs brewery will probably turn out as did
his boarding house experiment in Meadow
Lake. Bob had no sooner put up his sign
than his old mining and prospecting acquain-
tapces focked to his standard. They could
hardly believe their eyes when they saw Bob's
name on the sight seemed almost too good
thing In they marched by twos and fours
and, throwing their blankets and other traps
into corner, advanced with "Hello, Bob!
you internal old thief! II 1 amt glad to see
you may be d-d! They then proceeded
to make themselves at home, "neyer missing
q meal and never paying cent"

for a young lady operator in another Office, at

have made report that the water would be
turned down the creek, together with the
mill tailings, upon condition that the tailings

Governor Hartranft of Pennsylvania knows
his place and has the nerve to do his duty.
In conversation with the editor Of the Pitts
burg Commercial he said:
''You can say to the people, if you desire
to, that my position Is just about this: L am
here to see that the peace is preserved. am
here to see that the railroad companles-who
have applied to to ne as citizens for help
get back their property, and propose to see,
as far as my authority goes, that no man, II
he wishes to work, Is prevented from dong
so through fears OF a mob, or any lntlmlda-
ton Further than that | cannot go. As
have said, any contract the railroad and their
employees may make it their private business,
and I've no more right to interfere than you
have. If an engineer comes to me and says
he is willing and anxious to work, but fears
personal injury while running his train, and
he desires guard strong enough to protect
him and that guard Ill back with all the
power OF the State. That's not sending
soldiers to run the train at ALL It's only a
response to citizens call for protection-a
protection which the laws guarantee to every
man, black or white, rich or poor. My duty
as conceive it now, is simply to see that the
public peace is preserved, and that each man
in the community has all the rights accorded
him which are under the law and the constl-
tuition. That's plain enough. l have nothing
to do with this or any other railroad company
or corporation and its employees. They make
their own contracts, and enforce them as they
see fit, provided the public peace is preserved.
have nothing to do with the private disputes
between mon and their employers"
