THE BEvIER STRIKE.

Trouble Continues at the Bevier Mines Be
tween Strikers and the Swedes Who Took
Their Places.
MACON, Mo-, Nov. AT Bevier Wednes.
day night there came near being a big
fight between the Swedes and the strikers.
At $3.50 O'Clock three or four of the Swedes
working for Loomis & Snively came from
the stockade and went up to Bevier. On
their return, as they got near the depot,
between the stockade and the business
part Of Bevier, some parties out north of
the depot threw stones at the Swedes,
which they said struck them on the head.
These Swedes then very excitedly ran on
into the stockade and reported the mat
ter to the other $50 Swedes. In an
instant the latter ran out to see
il tho parties who it was said
threw the stones could be found. The
Swedes were excited and some of them
were carrying clubs. When they marched
up in town this excited the striking miners
and quite q number Of them secured their
pistols or guns and stationed themselves
on McDermott's corner, across the street
west Of LOOMS & Snively's store and
office, and remained there for some time.
L. j. Loomis succeeded in eating the
Swedes quieted down, before any fighting
occurred and they returned to the stock
ade.
Sheriff Draper, thinking matters were
getting quiet there, has not been there ON
guard for several days. He received two
kilograms late yesterday afternoon from
Bevier, one of them from the marshal, and
he went there last night as it is feared
there will be more serious trouble. Sixty
more Swedes, who landed in this couu-
try short time ago, arrived at Be-
vier Sunday night to work for Loomis &
Snively. j. W. Atwell has opened his
mine to the strikers. Seventy-five or 100
will work for him at "A cents per ton, $1.25
for entry work and $3.50 for day hands.

Failure of Suit to Recover Damages For
False Information.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Grew, Levick &
Co., oil merchants, sued BradStreet to re-
cover damages for alleged untrue infor-
nation furnished them regarding the
Union Refining and Manufacturing Com
pany of New Jersey, the agents reporting
that the company had paid up capital Of
500, 900 and were in good condition, on the
strength of which Crew, Levick g. Co.
gave them credit for 8, 800, which they
have never been able to collect, and it was
alleged that the Union Refining Company
was insolvent at the time. To-day Judge
Gordon, on motion for a non-suit, granted
it on the ground that the contract was as
if between two private people. the Defend
ant corporation being private and not a
public one, and that Crew, Levick & Co.
in signing their contract with them had
waived all right to recover on the ground
on which they were now striving to get
verdict. He said that if they could have
proved willful or malicious negligence the
circumstances would have been different.

Oregon has a woman mail carrier Her
name is Miss Minnie Westman, and she
carries Uncle Sans mail from the head of
navigation on Stuslaw river over the Coast
range mountains, following up the river to
Hale's post-office station, within fifteen
miles Of Eugene City. Her route is twenty
miles long and is situated right in the
heart of the mountains, where all the dan
gers and adventures incident to such an
occupation abound. She carries the mail
night and day and fears nothing. She
rides horseback and carries a trus.y re-
volver. Miss Westman is a plump little
brunette and is just twenty years old.
Her father and uncle operate a stage line
and have a contract for carrying the
mail. At Hale's station Minnie meets
her father and gets the mail from
Eugene City and starts on her round.
Miss Westman has never met with a seri-
Gus mishGp in the performance of her
duty. On one of her trips last year she
found three good-sized bears in the road
right in front of her. The horse on espy-
ing them, became frightened, threw his
rider to the ground and turning around
ran back the road he came. Miss Westman
with great presence of mind started after
the runaway and overtaking him remount-
ed and rode right through the savage cor
don, and strange to say, she was not at
tackled. Meeting some friends, she told
them of what she had seen, and they went
to the place and killed the bears. So far
this season she has met two bears, which
did not modest her.-OfegOaiaa.
