A Brave Policeman.

James Mncey, an ex-policeman Of
Parkersburg, w. Va, fought a heroic
battle with a mad dog the other day,
sacrificing himself to save others. While
standing in the principal street, which was
thronged with people on their way 10
dinner, Muncey saw the people suddenly
rush for store doors and "a moment later
saw rabid bulldog running wildly down
the street. Not far away several hundred
pupils were leaving a school. Muncey
realized what would happen if the dog got
among the children, and rushing out into
the roadway, attracted the Infatuated
brute's attention. The dog, foaming ut
the mouth, leaped upon Muncey's breast.
Clutching the creature by the throat, and
being powerful man. he choked it until
almost lifeloss. then tossed it to the ground
and bystander dispatched the animal
with bullet Before the dog was over
powered it had bitten Muncey several
times on the aims and breast. Tho
wounds were promptly cauterized.

The Coke Strikers.

A special from Scottdalc Pa. says:
Sunday was another lively day in the coke
region Numerous mass meetings were
held and preceding the wholesale evictions
which will occur shortly they are taken
with significance. With brass band 20
stir up their spirits mass meeting of
several hundred strikers was held at the
Summit plant. where the imported foreign
ers have been at work. Every effort was
put forth 10 get the Italians TO attend but
without avail. They are quartered in
what is known as the Soup House,
which is situated near the Summit plant.
and are heavily guarded by deputy sheriffs
10 prevent interference from the strikers.
Twenty -four of these Italians were at work
at this mine last week. From a source
believed 20 be trustworthy il was learned
that colored workmen would be ship
ped into the region during the coming
week. IL is stated that the strikers at
Summit and Bradford obstinately refuse
TO return to work, and their places will be
filled with Negroes. One hundred and
ten of them will be given employment at
Rist slope Bradford. and about 100 at
Summit and adjoining plants. Imported
Italians and Negroes will likely be the
weapons Of the different companies TO
break the strike. and carloads of them are
expected. Agents are known TO have been
il search of such material for some time.
The importation Of new men may tend 10
arouse the passions OF the strikers. The
different companies have fully decided TO
post notices at the different works stating
their withdrawal from the position that
there would be no discrimination against
the strikers.

A BOGUS BELLAMISM

WARD" IDEAS SWiNDLED.

Colony I'm California ard Lost All
Their Money.


A dispatch from San Francisco says:
The Express contains the result OF an In
vestigation of the Keweah colony in Tulare
county, which was established ostensbly
20 carry out nationalistic ideas. The IN
vestigation was prompted by the prose
cution in the United States district court
in Los Angeles Of Burnett G.. Haskell,
Henry S. Hubbard. Henry II. Taylor.
James j. Martin, William Christie, trus-
tees, and the leaders, on charges OF cutting
timber on government lands. In October,
1885, forty-two men made timber entries
on land famous for big timber in Tulare
county. Two months later the land com
missioner ordered the withdrawal
of these lands from entry. Mean
while the Glers had gone ahead and partly
built road eighteen miles long through an
inaccessible country, TO get TO the timber
claims. The entries were refused by the
Nisala office, but the filers protested and
went on with the work. The hive trustees
were found guilty, and the Express makes
the following statement in regard 10 the
methods under which the Kaweah colony
was conducted Haskell aud Martin estab-
lished joint stock company and the for
mer started IL magazine, claiming that the
Kaweah colony owned 200 acres of timber
lands and 1000 acres Of grazing land. The
most glowing descriptions were given OF
the delights Of living in the colony which
was being run on the Bellamistic plans
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people
during the period Of over three years have
been duped into the scheme. many persons
spending their all TO get TO Keweah and
working for long time, living mean
while on cheap fare The workers
were not paid in money, but in
time checks devised by Haskell
which entitled the holder 10 the labor of
another man or goods bought from the colony
and bearing half a cent interest. Thou
sands of these worthless bits Of paper have
been issued and many persons have moth
ing else to show for their three years
labor. The arrangements of entering
were for the applicant to pay $500, OF
which 500 wac in cash and the balance in
monthly sums Of s.. BY getting new re-
cruits through the influence OF the maya
zine il is estimated that the revenue OF
Haskell and Martin, who received all
these moneys, was So. coo n month. Some
persons were permitted by the alleged
board of directors to come to the colony
and work out their $500 balance for mem
bership. Thus the schemers got people 70
come and finish the building Of the road for
rough board and clothes. Mrs. V. Good
win, late of New Hampshire, in a letter
describes the condition of the colonists az
Kaweah as horrible. she having been one
of them, and she says all who have been
able TO leave the colony have done so.
