AT TYLER.
TYLER, TEX, Feb. G.--The boycott oil
the Stctson hat, ordered by the Knights
OF Labor, is failure, so far as Tyler Ia

two, declined TO be influenced by IL, but
declare they will sell these hata whpneyar
they have an opportunity.
Trouble has been brewing In the Texas
& st. Louis railway shops here for some
days, on account OF the company laying
off some mon, and the presence OF the
executive board here has had the
tendency TO increase the furore. How

seen
