he following story: At Hope, Idaho,
there is n big Chinese firm who own a
number of stores at various places, includ-
ing Noxon. Joe Yum ran an opposition
store at that point u the Hope people
wanted to get rid of him. Joe also fur
nished labor and in that line got a num-
Der of Cinnamon work at making single
bolts I'm Bascom's mill at Noxon. This
displeascd some of the railroaders. The
firm at Hope made overtures To the road
master of that division To send men and
burn Joe's store. The work car n
uoWn tnert, pllIcu iltp tne stuitg anu ne
gang burned the store and all its con-
tents. Now there seems Ia be q move
mcnt on foot to throw the blame on As
sistant R~oadmartcr Elliott, but he claims

ter Mcneil. Moreover, IL Is said that the
men were promised one day each for the
time they would lose in going to Noxon
