AN UNFORTUNATE MONUMENT.

1t is TO be regretted that an officer of
the army should have considered it be-
coming to place an offensive monument
over the graves of soldiers killed during
the strike at Sacramento. In those de-
plorable troubles a train manned by SOL
diers was wrecked and four were killed.
1t was a disgraceful outrage. and IL is
unfortunate the culprits were not can
tured, convicted and punished. 4 num-
Der Of leaders OF the American Railway
Union were indicted. and after trial were
acquitted. They are entitled to tho fun
benefit OF the verdict, and as the perpe-
traitors will now probably never be known.
1t is only an assumption that they were
strikers. Even II conviction had followed
and it had become legal fact that strik-
ers caused the death OF the unfortunate
soldiers, ii would have been in doubtful
taste TO perpetuate a bitter recollection
Since the courts acquitted the accused.
there is no excuse for the gratuitous
charge. KILLED In the performance of

THE sKYkoMIsH COAL CONTEST.

Skykomish. Wash. Aug. 2e. 1895.
To the Editor: In your paper Of yester-
day (25th inSt) / see that you state that
the Great Northern Coal Company has
had their coal land jumped by US. which
is not true. The Great Northern Coal
Company was formed by certain parties
for the purpose Of holding land without
doing any work. They had three quarter
sections which they had never done any
work upon and had virtually abandoned Il,
having never done any work and even
not having any notices OF location on two
OF their so-called claims. So we took up
the three claims and in the course of do
ing the necessary development work
struck a vein Of coal and then the Great
Northern Coal Company jumps in and
wants TO claim something which they
never had any claim upon or owned. In
regard 10 building roads and spending
great sums or money, etc, il IS not true
for the Great Northern Coal Company
never built any roads or spent a dollar in
actual work on these three claims We
were working on the claims for thirty
days before We struck Goal Then the al
legged company comes up in the middle OF
the night and tries 70 take possession
with NinChesters. etc Respectfully,
