A man came into the Chronicle
office this morning and announced
that his name was Sandy Stiggins,
from Phoebe. He was six feet high,
had a revolver strapped to his hip,
and carried a formidable looking ri
tie. After Introducing himself, he
inquired where the Justice Mine
could be found.
"You see, I've walked all the way
from Phoebe to git a sit as a fighter,
and if I can't fill the bill there amt

He was informed that the chances
of getting a job as a fighter at the
Justice are rather slim, as thefMiners'
Union had discharged the entire gang
of both mines. This information
seemed to strike him like the news of
the sudden death of a bosom friend.

they have it's mighty rough on aman
