Laborers at Johnstown Quit Work
Because Food is Poor.

A dispatch from Johnstown, Pa, on the
10Th inst. says:
A strike has occurred among the labOrers
employed on the public works. Trouble
grows out OF the scarcity and poor quality
Of the food furnished the men. The disa-
fected men who waited upon Gen. Hastings
asserted that they had had nothing to eat
since morning, and then very inferior
quality OF food; complained that they were
compelled TO work at night without extra
pay, and demanded an increase of wages
for day work. Gen. Hastings promised 10
intercede with the contractors.
The strike is fairly on and their are not
1000 men at work. The military are on
active duty and local company OF the
Fifth regiment has been ordered out. There
is fear that an undercurrent of discord will
break out at any time and that riot will
follow. Three carloads of Italians arrived
from the east, but committee of the
striking Italians met them at the station
and persuaded them not TO leave the train
until the present labor trouble is settled.
They were sido tracked and will be fed by

Ex-Rev. w. T.. Howard, recently Of Mi
Ian, has been convicted of stealing from the
Electric Sugar company OF New York, and
sentenced to ten years in the state prison
of that state. District Attorney Fellows,

ard as n hypocrite and scoundrel, and
ridculed the idea that God would deliver
such man from the hands of his prosecu-
tors, as was intimated by lawyer Sawyer.
Col. Fellows showed that Howard had got
about SOL 900 of the plumber resulting from
the swindle, while the rest of the gang
profited about S2,000O.
Recorder Smyth at once charged the jury
who returned within II minutes, with a
verdict declaring Howard guilty of stealing

NEWS SUMMARY.
cHIPPEWAs ON THE WAR PATH.
They Massacre Several LabOrers. -
General Uprising Feared.

The treacherous Chippewa Indians near
Mora, Mimi, are on tho war path again,
and there are grave fears of general up
rising. Already several Swede laborers
have been massacred and several hundred
laborers and settlers have sought safety
in Mora. Sheriff Nicolsen. mounted
on an Indian pony, rode 10 town on a gal
lop and gave the alarm. He also communi-
Gated with Gov. Merriman, requesting
him to order out the state troops to quell
the uprising.
The present trouble is the outgrowth of
encroachment by the whites upon the Mile
Laos reservation. Recently contract
was awarded by the settlers TO Foley
Brothers of ST. Paul TO dig ditch for irf'i.
CATION purposes from Mile Laos lake
To a point on the Smoke river When the
Indians learned a ditch was TO be dug they
at once came to the conclusion that the in
tention was to drain the latter and deprive
them OF their fishing privileges. Notice
was served by the Indians upon the con.
tractors, warning them that If they did not
leave he territory at once they would be
put to death. The contractors gave no heed
TO the warning, but engaged laborers, who
began work 1T Mile Laos. They were at
tackled by party OF 100 Chippewas, led by
White Snake and Great Bear. The Indians
were in full War paint and were armed with
Winchester rides and tomahawks.
AS soon as they saw the reds coming the
laborers dropped their shovels and fled.
They were pursued by the savages, who
shot and killed seven men-Olaf Maguson,
Christian Rasmussen, Bernt Toerrdanl,
Aug Swanson, Gustav Toderstrom, Carl
Spen and Jacob Skoll. Several others
were wounded but not seriously.
Tho Indians scalped Toderstrom and
Maguson and mutilated the bodies of Spen
and Skoll in tiendish manner.
The Indians, who have been gathering on
tho south shore of Mile Laos lake for a
week or more, engaged IN "A war dance as u
preliminary to the massacre. Three Of the
seven victims have families in destitute
circumstances
