BATTLE al wEIR clTY, KAN,
Between Striking Miners and the Me-

Between Striking Miners and the Mon
Who Took Their Places.
WEIR CITY, Kan, July 22.-Just be-
fore noon Thursday band Of 500 of the
mine strikers, headed by about 100
women, which had been marching to
the various strip pits, reached G. Glenn
ents' pit and sent in committee to per-
suade the new men working there to
quit. This they refused to do, and
when the committee reported, the en-
tire body of marchers moved to the
works to force the men out. The strip
men We're ready for them, and when
they passed the trespass line they were
fired upon, and general battle fol-
lowed, in which rifles, pistols and clubs
were used. Over 100 shots were fred
and several people were injured, but
nobody was killed.
Wcmcn and Children in Front.
The strikers were led by about 100
women. and in the vanguard were an
equal number of children. They were
placed in the front rank in the belief
that the guards and the men at work
would not fire upon them.
In the front rank We're carried one
big United States flag, and on either
side of it two black flags. The latter
We're carried by German women.
When the men at work and the
guards fred upon the strikers the chill
dren fled, but TIE women entered boldly
into the fight, and fought with as much
righteousness as the men.
The sheriff of the county has been APP
pealed to to furnish guards for the
mines, but he has declined to take any
action. He is a Populist and is in
sympathy with the miners.

stubble of the last harvest showing here
and there above the drifts. Now the
fields looked as il new sower had gone
over them with diamond dust.
We are the last to turn out, and as
soon as we have finished dressing man
comes hurrying in with the cheerful an
nouncement that breakfast is now
ready in the dining-car."
Whewl What whirl of frost and
frigid air in the vestibule of our
sleeper. 1t strikes the face like dash
of cold water, but after a moment we
are comfortably seated at the breakfast
table and the grateful aroma of coffee
and beefsteak is around us. One gets
better meal on these northern railroads
than anywhere else in the far west,
not even excepting its so-called palatial
hotels. And the price is only seventy
five cents. One sits in big wicker
armchair at table spread with linen
as white as the snow and new silver.
Our menu included fruit, oysters, fish,
beefsteak, venison steak, lamb chops,
fried, baked and hashed potatoes; eggs,
toast, rolls, coffee and buckwheat
cakes with country sausage.
When / went back to the smoking
room of our car three OF four fellows sat
slouched in comfortable attitudes, with
pipes and cigars.
"Ill tell ye," said one of them, who
| proved to be member of the state leg
islature on his way to Devils Lake, 1--WE
get darned tired of this country every
winter an swear we'll leave it before
another fall. But bym by the warm
weather comes, an before seed time Is
over it's melted all the cussin' out of us
an we don't have no time TO think o.
leavin' till after harvestin', an then
we're ready TO swear it's the best coun-
try in the world"
This cold is hard on folks who have
to be out in it," said a young man who
proved To be n track superintendent.
rs enough TO make a cast iron pig
squeal. None of the section men who
work on the railroads in this country
last more than four or five years. Most

they come here, but they get weaker

why, but it seems TO strain their works
to keep their blood flowing in this cold

and day and much Of it had been so
warm with imaginative fervor that it
rushed out of the ventilators before it
could be taken down.
II hope this warm wind won't start
the snow off these mountains" said the
railroad man as he lit fresh cigar.
Just look at the weight of snow on
that peak above us. If it should come
down that long toboggan slide it would
bury the track under fifty fathoms.
Ever see slide? Mop Well, saw one
last week on another road. 'Twa'nt
bigger n a baseball when il started.
But il kept growing until finally it,
jumped over precipice an started a
chunk of snow bigger n barn, that
came plunging down, sweeping the
whole side of the mountain clean as this
floor. !
IF the hand o. God had struck that
train 1t couldn't have been more help
less. The flying mass of snow hurled
IL into the ravine as if il had been a
baby's toy. Four men were buried un-
der the slide. We found three of them

engine, where he got just enough air to
keep him alive. When we pulled him
out the poor fellow raised himself to his
elbow, rubbed his eyes and said: Boys,
I'm buried Then he fell back dead.
The doctor said that we uncovered him
too quick. IL we had thrown something
over his face for an hour or two we
might have saved him. You see, them
slides pack so hard IL takes a pickax to
make any impression on 'em, an If they
cover man he's gone for good. It's
lucky that the best railroads are so
carefully protected and patrolled that
there is practically very little danger
from slides"
IL was rapidly growing dusk when
Powell, our good-natured giant of
porter, laid our luggage on the platform
at Butte City. One meets so many i'm
pudent, lazy and rum-soalSed porters on
the far western roads that cannot
help praising this mans careful atten-
ton TO our comfort The great camp in

up the mountain the lights arc burning

by this time the sun was buried In

gale from the north drove a scud
of snow straight against us North

Hello! He's struck into herd OF 'em,

the ole mare as thumped 'em."
Looking out of the window we saw
half a dozen cattle that "the old mare"
(as the traclman dubbed the engine)
had flung into the drifts. Some were
standing on their heads, shoulder deep
in the snow; Others lay half buried,
their feet pointing up at the sky.
You see," said the railroad man,
"those cattle are turned out to shift for,
themselves. Their feet got sore tramp
ing over the snow. It's the crust that
hurts 'em. But ye see the tracks clear,
and when they strike it they think it's
the road to Heaven"
Don't you ever stop and try TO drive
them off?" inquired.
"Dangerous!" he answered, shaking
his head wisely. "Those critters'd make

Cattle are fools, anyway" said
young fellow in high top boots and

left the train, was the most extensive
sheep owner in Montana. Cattle are
fools, but sheep are just chunks of NUT
