james Berry. of Teton City, met
with quite serious accident the fore
part Of this week While he was riding
on the range between his home and the
Basin he was caught in thunder shower
and was struck by lightning. He was
not dangerously injured but was knock
ed senseless. The strangest part Of the
accident was that Mr.. Berry was not
knocked out Of his saddle, but when he
recovered his senses he was still riding
the horse which was on a dead run and
about two miles from where the acci-
dent occurred.-Rexburg Democrat.
One Of the meanest acts we have
heard Of lately was perpetrated on John
ny Carter few nights ago. He is put
ting a dam in the river above town for
the Central Lumber Company and after
he quit work Monday night some scoun-
drel or scoundrels cut the dam which
was partially constructed so that the
washing Of the river almost entirely
destroyed all the work that had been
done. 1t is supposed the same parties
stole portions Of a set Of harness belong
ing to Mr.. Carter which were left near
where the dam was being put in. There
is no clue to the perpetrators.
Quiet has reigned in Pocatello. and
the people can congratulate themselves
on the fact that cool.and conservative
men have guided the strickers at this
point. and even more on the fact that
the strikers themselves have been men
Of good judgement. There has been no
Interference Of any kind, no disorder.
no Threatening talk, and no fear Of any.
The presence Of the deputy marshals is
to be regretted. There is no need for
them, but up to the present writing
their presence has been disregarded and
they for their part have kept very close
to the cars that brought them in.-Poca-
tello Tribune.
Whenever the miners go on a strike
we are told they are nothing but lot
Of ignorant foreigners. The same thing
is said Of the employees of the vast man
ufacturing establishments all over the
land when they growl about low wage:
and when the railroad employees wall
out on a strike they too are characteriz
ed as a lot Of greasy foreigners. The
question naturally arises what has be
come Of the American laborers for who's
benefit CD political parties have beer
, enacting laws for lol these many years
> Are the American laborers all out o
q jobs 1t would seem so and that tn
''scabs" are always good American
citizens. according to the capitalisti
