Many of our Bath sportsmen who en-
joy hunting on Merrymeeting bay are
greatly indignant on account of per-
sens who call themselves sportsmen
disregarding the laws made at the last
Legislature regarding night shooting.
In past years this unsportsman-like
amusement has been carried on to a
large extent and as result Bath MINI
reds who arose early to visit the bay
found little sport. Some of our Bath
gunners are now doing little detective
work and will endeavor to bring all
offenders under the arm of the law.
The fact that there is fine of $25 for
night shooting and $50 when Jack"
light is. used, causes those who attempt
this kind of shooting, to he extremely
cautious. AS one of our crack shots
said to a Times reporter, This night
shooting is the most foolish srort im-
aginable. as the hunters are often un-
able TO find the birds after they are
shot and ruins good day shooting for
themselves and many others. - Bath

that the late f. c. Allen had a game

ity when he informed the strikers their
places would be filled with new men if
they did not go to work by Monday

new men, not just a Z present" said
Colonel Herrick- If any of our old
men want to go to work we will pro-
tect them Our men, the majority of
them, at least, were perfectly satisfied
with their condition and did not want
to strike, but were persuaded into do
ing so by outsiders
dispatches from Steubenvil1e stated
that Superintendent Robb had issued an
ultimatuna to the effect that the mine
would start this morning with new men
if necessary" suggested the reporter.
mo, we are not going to put in new
men for the present. We have no de-
sire to fight the battle particularly, as
we have plenty of coal We will not
start our mines until our old men re-
turn to work, and We will protect those
who do return. What the exact situ-
alton at Dillonvale is 1 do not know,
as I have not heard from there today

WITH a BRASS BAND,
Strikers March Through the Canons-
burg Mining Region.

Canonsburg, Pa, July 19.-About 500
striking farmers from Cecil, Bishop,
Reissing and Bridgeville in the Millers
Run district passed through town this
morning led by brass band and drum
corps. A halt was made at the mines
of the Canonsburg Coal company. where
they were met by armed deputies and
ordered to keep off the cOnpany's prop,
erty. They halted in a vacant lot near
by and sent committees over to the
mines to gather together the miners
The miners did not appear to be in
sympathy with the strikers and but
very small number were induced to
came out to listen to the speeches made
by a number of the visiting strikers.
After holding a meeting the strikers
moved up the valley to the mines of
Cook & Sons. where they were met by
several deputies heavily armed and
were ordered to keep off the company's
property. The mines there have also
closed down and let the men meet the
strikers and decide whether or not to
strike. The mine operators are paying
SO cents and say their men have no rea-
son for striking, except through fear of
violence. The company will resume as
soon the men are ready to go in.
The striking miners are camped about
the Cook mines No fear of violence is
felt here.
