Northwest Barber County Live Stock
Association.
At a meeting of farmers and stock
men called to meet at Lake City on the
2lst, for the purpose of devising some
means to protect their stock from the
depredatiOns of gray wolves, there
was goodly attendance and everyone
appeared willing and anxious to make
the undertaking success. Many who
could not attend sent us word that any
thing done at the meeting would receive
their support. A constitution was
adopted, secretary, treasurer and
board of directors were elected. The
territory to be worked includes the
townships Of Lake City, McAdoo. Sun
City, Turkey and part of Eagle and
Deerhead, lying north of the divide be-
tween Mule creek and Medicine river.
1t is understood that the territory south
to the county line will be worked by
another association organized in that
part Of the county. The board of di-
rectors were empowered to pay boun-
ty of $25 for old gray wolves and $5
for whelps. The board of directors
consisting of o. Mills, W. s. Clements
and j. p. Massey met and ordered a
levy of one cent on each head of stock
owned by members for a fund from
which to pay the bountles.

THE LION AND THE TIGER
THE RETRnAr oHEoKEp.


Efforts of the Locked Out Men to Break
tho Non.Union Ranks TruItIess-SolIclt.
ing Financial Aid.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, August 9.-The firm
seems to have checked the retreat OF its
| non.union men, who begun to leave at
such lively rate yesterday morning as
to threaten to depopulate the millin a
week il continued. No further deser-
tions are reported this morning and
several OF the men who went down on
the "Tide" Saturday evening with their
wages showed up this morning. The
firm claims that no inconvenience re-
suited from the leaving ofthe men yes
terday, and that the mills operating us
smoothly as before. Tho number OF
applications for positions from our old
men continues to increase, but Of course
the men are afraid TO report Just now.
When they do this will prove another
Duquesne. Such was the statement of
an official at the mill to-day.
On the other hand the leaders Of the
locked out men are working the deser-
tions for all they are worth as an Offset
to Duquesne, and TO such m effect that
the people here seem to have forgotten
the upper mill altogether, and today
are bending new energies TO iustiil dis
satisfaction among the non.unionists
confined in the mil. To that end two
bibulous workers who slipped out OF
the mill yesterday were treated royalty
and sent back in a condition to glowing
ly depict tho hospitality OF the towns
men and the impropriety Of taking
their places. Unfortunately for this
scheme the two men reached the gate
in such a hilarious condition that the
watchmen would not let them in.
The success OF the relief committees
which have gone east has proven very
gratifying to the men here, especially
tho work of Hugh 0'Donnell, who has
telegraphed that he secured $1,000 in
Boston. It's the sentiment Of the adj
visory committee, however, that no
time should belos in canvassing every
section Of the country to secure aid be-
fore public interest and sympathy wane.
The committee, therefore, proposes
at once to dispatch COMMITTEES west and
south. The men here have reason to
believe that they can collect many dol
lars more by the committee work than
by leaving the work to Amalgamated
Association lodges in different towns.
A dispatch from Duquesne this morn
ing states that the mill is working
smoothly and goes on double turn at
once.
Several Of the workers there tried to
extract a promise yesterday from the
men that they refuse to work material
for Homestead. The steel workers,
however, did not give encouraging as
surances. and it Is probable that they
are too badly beaten to rebel against
any mnteriaI in reason.

FALL RIVER, MASS, August 9.-Thia
morning Bridget Sullivan, the servant
girl in the Borden family, and later the
daughter. Miss Lizzie Borden, were
summoned to the central police station.
She walked down in company with
an officer. She looked much worried
and pale, she told the officer that she
was willing to haye the police, or any
one else, examine her every action since
the time she arose Thursday until she
was asked to 20 to the police station
with an officer. She did not care 10 talk
very much about details Of family rela-
tions. She said that she wanted to leave
two or three times, but she was urged
to remain by Mrs. Borden, Of whom she
spoke very kindly. She was taken be-
fore the city marshal, District Attorney
Knowlton and Medical Examiner Do
Ian. These men all agree that affairs
are at q critical point and action may be
taken at once. Miss Sullivan was
brought before the men to undergo q
thorough examination as to the facts
before and after the murders as far as
she knew them. Whilethe servant was
in the court room locked up with the
authorities Mr.. ]. v. Morse was walk
ing down Main street, closely followed
by an officer.
The following bulletin was tonight
given out by State Detective Beaver:
The inquest into the Borden murder
began before Judge Blaisdell at 10 a.
NJ, District Attorney Knowlton con-
Quoting the investigation. Bridget
Sullivan and Lizzie Borden were ques-
toned separately. The examination OF
neither was concluded. The inquest
adjourned until 10 q. m. Wednesday.
Nothing was developed for publication.
This meager report was all that was
given out officially regarding the first
days proceedings OF the inquiry: After
adjournment Bridget Sullivan, the SER
want girl, was taken from the central
station. District Attorney Knowlton
told her thot he regarded her as the
most important witness in the case and
promised to allow her to 90 on her own
recognizance until the trial, If one takes
place, provided she would not go away
without first acquainting the city mar
shal. While the principal parties at
the INQUEST were at dinner Bridget, or
Maggie" as she was called at home,
was placed in charge Of Matron Russell,
whose lips are sealed. The girl told
the whole OF her story to Mrs. Russell.
often saying that she could not tell all
before, as there were so many men
about Ate o'clock, while Bridget was
walking up stairs to the court room,
she was crying bitterly.

PirrsBuRaH Pa, August 9.-There
was nothing new in the strike situation
to-day. Both sides continue to talk for
publication and all interviews express
confidence in ultimate victory.
Ono OF the most sanguine men in
Homestead is Vice Chairman Crawford,
OF tho Amalgamated advisory commit
tee. Said he to-day:
"There is no longer any doubt OF it.
We have the fight almost won; we've
got the other side whipped, and not
withstanding the statements of Super
intendent Potter to the contrary, the
stay OF the present force OF non-union
men will be OF very short duration.
Since Saturday last fully 800 OF the com.
pany's neutrality-suspicious. have left the
mill. OF this number over 100 came
out yesterday"
Superintendent Potter and Secretary
Lovejoy are just 'as confident OF the
company's success.
In speaking OF President Gomper's
assertion Luht GuO QuVlVuu lueulueTa OL
the Federation employed by firms using
Carnegie steel and iron stood ready to
come out on o strike, II necessary to aid
the locked out Homesteadersin winning
their fight, Secretary Lovejoy said he
did not believe the story, and therefore
did not care to discuss the matter.
Referring to the conference between
the Amalgamated Association and man
ufaeturers, Mr.. Lovejoy said the Car
negie company would pay no attention
to the deliberations Of those bodies, and
that the outcome would have no effect
whatever on the policy OF the Frick. Car.

and intend to stick to 1t.
The strike at divers Tenth street

refused TO sign the scale on July and
the men quit work. The company is

HsI Opposed 30 Free Coinage and Favors

WASHINGTON, D. O., August 9-sena-
tor Carlisle has addressed letter to
John A. Lyme, OF Henderson, KY, in an
awer to his question whether the sena-
tor had heretofore been in favor Of the
free coinage OF silver, and whether his
views on the subjecthad undergone any
change.
Senator Carlisle says: "The answer
to your question depends largely upon
what you mean by the free coinage of
silver ii you mean policy urged by
many under which the government Of
the United States would be compelled
by law to receive 6s cents worth Of sill.
ver bullion when presented by the
owner and coin 1t at the expense of all
the people Of the country, and compel
the people by law to receive the coin as
the equivalent Of 100 cents. my answer
is that am not now, and never have
been, in favor OF II"
The senator says there are only two
ways in which the basis Of circulation
can be proadened by the use Of silver
as part OF the real money. First, by
the coinage Of the silver larcontain.
ing dollars worth OF silver; secondly,
by an international agreement on tho
ratio. He admits that 1t would be un.
fair for tho United States, acting alone,
to make the present value OF
silver bullion the basis OF adjustment,
because the partial demonetization
Of silver, by limiting this coinage, has
undoubtedly had considerable influence
in depreciating its price and appreciat-
ing the price Of gold. FREQ coinage OF
silver would bring tho values nearer,
and q true ratio for coinage would be
found at some point between 16 to ],
and the present relative prices OF silver
and gold bullion.
The senator says II may be impos-
sible fonone nation 10 Ak stable ratio,
and, If so, an international conference
is tho only tribunal that can extricate
US from the present situation. In con-
clusion, the senator says he will sup
port any measure that will fully re-
monetize silver and insure equality Of
the dollars coined from the two metals.
and he sincerely hopes that the up.
preaching conference will be able to
reach such an agreement us will meet
