heart of the Hooking Valley mining
region, and the thousands OF striking
miners there have become desperate at
seeing trainload af.er trainload Of West
Virginia coal go through to the North
west markets.

has been settled peacefully. About

Waite last night left Denver secretly on
the Rio Grande road and arrived at

as knight Of labor, to talk with his
follow knights. No more war there
fore has been made to day
The strikers have warned the people
they dislike to leave the town Of Cripple

camped at Divide and are being rein

presence will stay @ battle which seems
inevitable and the general belief is
that trouble will occur as soon as the
