About four o'clock on Monday morn
ing some of the Bellaire militia company
were waiting in tho srmury in case they
should be needed to suppress any
lighting between the strikers and
| the new men at the GcbleI Works.
They felt rather bored, as nothing came
Of it, and got up a gigantic hoax. One
of their number pretended that no had
been shot IN the abdomen, and Dr..
Sanders and Mr.. Tallman well
known lawyer, were sent Tor
| At first they were deceived and made
the necessary preparations in case OF the
death OF the man who was pretending to
have been shot. They soon discovered
the fraud, but resolved to extend it and
all the doctors in town were sent for.
Of all tho tall swearing that ever was
| done in BeliaiTe, this was the worst. The
boy who was sent for the physician also
| aroused all the members of the militia
company who were asleep, and they hur-
ried down 10 the armory. There was
some bad feeling at first, but it finally
subsidized, sod the greatest hoax which
BellaIre has ever known came TO an end.
The new men at the Goblet Works
are doing well, and have not been mo-
Tested as yet. Some OF the smaller boys
about town yelled at them and called
them abusive names AS the men went to
dinner, but no violence was attempted.
The police have orders TO be or the look
out for any frscss, and will gobble up the
first man who attempts to creste a mus.
