THE MORTON STRIKE.
Contractor Widell Gives the His
tory of the Proceeding.

Contractor Gust Widell was in
Mankato Friday and when asked by a
Free Press reporter in regard to the
strike of his men at Morton, gave the
following account of it:
81 commenced working the quarry,
which is granite and belongs to G. Il.
Saulpaugh, about month ago. When
| started in, the seyenty-fve men
whom l employed said that they
wanted $3.50 a day for nine hours
work. l told them that | would pay
them that sum, and they went to work
satisfied, and everything went along
smoothly for about theee week. |
went to Morton last Wednesday and
paid the men off for April. After |
had done this, committee of them
came to me and asked that they be
paid $3.50 day for eight hours
work | told them that | could not
stand the raise and that l had paid
them what they had asked, without
complaint or asking questions. They
thought that they had me in tight
box, and asked me if I did not have to
get the stone out at once to meet my
contract. / asked them what business
that was of theirs. The result was
that all the men quit work. l went to
Minneapolis and fortunately the river
is SO high that nothing more can be
done on the dam until next fall. |
secured the extension of time of seven
months.
"Ten of the strikers have come tc
Mankato and are seeking work, but
have not employed them yet, as l have
all the stone cutters that I can work
Ten of the men were old employees o.
mine, but the trouble was started by
some Minneapolis cutters"
l. N. Griffith was at Morton Mon
day and Tuesday Of this week anc
paid off the strikers for what work
lthey had done this month.

GAINED COL. WATERS.
Morton Citizens Remember His
County Seat Work,

Col. Frank l.. Waters, OF Morton,
was presented with a gold-headed
cane by the citizens of that town last
Wednesday afternoon. The presen-
tation was made on account of Col.
Waters enthusiastic work in the
county seat matter, which resulted in
bringing the county seat back to Bea-
YER Falls. Col. Waters and George
Welsh we're leaders in the affair, and
spent a great deal of time, and great
deal of their own money in bringing
matters to their present focus, and
hence the Gaming of Col. Waters.
About four o'clock the postmaster
at Morton went down to the mill and
inquired of Col. Waters whether he
would remain there for a few min
utes, as a "man wanted to see him"
Col. Waters promised to continue
working and the postmaster went back.
Ten minutes later an army of about
100 Morton citizens in soldier style,
marched to the mill. The delegation
was headed by DR.. F. w. Penhall,
who was chosen as POSTMASTER or
chief orator of the day. They called
Col. Waters outside and DR.. Penhall
opened on him in the following
manner:
"Mr. Watters:-The people of Nor
ton, interested il the recent county
seat contest, unanimously wish to ex-
press to you in some degree their
gratitude and appreciation of the I'M
firing interest and influence you have
so constantly exerted to enforce the
mandates of the higher courts.
"They wish to present you with this
slight token handing the cane) Of
that appreciation, coupled with the
hope that you may be long spared to
share with us our fortunes, and in the
defense of our sacred honor, and that
your latest efforts may be associated
with the happiest recollections of
your business and social relations
here"
On the top of the cane is engraved
the following: presented to F. L.
Waters by Citizens Of Morton"
Col. Walters was completely taken
by surprise and absorbed full NOM
ent in recovering from the shock. He
then thanked the citizens for the gift,
but more particularly for their re-
naming together and making the
county seat question a certain issue.
He then passed around a box of Ha-
vanas, after which business was again
resumed in Morton.

Glory" leads the procession there will
be no march. We must stand true
along every line. The school is one
of the mightiest, if not the mightiest,
powers in this nation, he said.
In closing he stated that he was
glad to have had the privilege to talk
to the old soldiers and paid tribute
to the men that began the nation and
to those who saved it from Rebeldom.
