ANOTHER STATEMENT By LUKINs.

Insists That the SCvf ters Began the Battle
with Bullets Meant to XIII.
After the departure of the train
Lukins was asked by the Associated
Press if he desired to make any state
ment to the public in regard to the
present situation and future outlook.
He replied that while he did not care
to discuss the past. and could not even
predict what the world had in store,
owing to the action of Governor Tanner
in depriving his company of its lawful
rights, he would like to correct a few
errors that had been published as re-
CARDS Wednesdays fight. In this con-
nection he dictated and signed the fol-
lowing: From my own personal knowl-
edge 1 can say that no shots were fired
from the train carrying the negro min
ers until at least 500 shots had been
fired into ii, and several of the guards
were wounded.
The strikers commenced firing on the
train just after it had passed the depot
and kept it up as long as the train was
within gunshot. When the train stopped
at the gate our guards were there to
assist in unloading the cars. But few
shots were fired by them, most of the
defense firing being done by the train
guards. The report in some of the pa
pers that We had guards in the top of
the shaft house is utterly false, and has
no foundation whatever, as no men
were in the tower, armed or unarmed,
during the battle.
The charge made that the Chicago
and Alton switchmansD. H. Kiley, killed
near the depot, was shot by one of our
men from the stoekade is too preposter-
Gus to merit contradiction, as no shots
were fired from the stockade until long
after Kiley was killed.
In opposition to the above about thir-
ty miners were examined by the coro-
per yesterday, nearly all of whom were
positive in testifying that the first shots
were fired from the train, while the
train was about 100 feet south of the
station. They claimed that their men
did not return the fire into the train un-
til the train reached the stockade. They
testified that their men shot into the air
until the train came to a stop.

housekeeping AZ u business.

One trouble with women-many OF
them, at least--is that they fail TO
recognize housekeeping as a business,
to be carried ON as a business Is, with
dignity and method. They regard 1t
as mere drudgery, and they fret and
u-crrv over it until both mind and
~ouy are uisttiro-u anti ne peace u
the household is marred by conten-
ton.
The mental atmosphere of the
house mother is felt by every one,
and she cannot be out of sorts with
out putting every other member OF
the family out. she sets the note for
the family harmony. II II be dis
cordant, there is a sad jangling. It
may be impossible to keep from fret
ting and a dih..dlt task to be always
serene, but one can more nearly APP
proximate the latter condition and
keep from the former by having
things so arranged about the house
that everything will go like the ira
ditional "clock work"
1t is no trivial matter, this Of plan
ming TO become a good housekeeper.
Not only does the happiness Of wo-
man, as class, depend upon 1t, but
she also holds in her hands the COM
fort and happiness of many besides
herself. What her home is is very
largely what she makes it. .auch dos
nestle infeIicity begins in careless
housekeeping.
Marriage is partnership in which
each member has special duties. The
duty OF the one is to provide; Of the
other to make wise use Of the pro-
vision. II a husband provides liber-
ally, he has every right to expect the
best use to be made Of the provision,
and this use underlies all questions
OF domestic economy and thrift.
Economy does not mean meanness
and stinginess. II implies the best
and wisest use OF the means that are
given, and since IT is question that
comes into every phase Of life, public
and private, no one need be ashamed
10 practice 1t.

In the great mass Of matter which

shape or another; but there are a few
minor details about Captain Sigsbee's

The article deals entirely with the
incidents leading up to the explosion.

Poem on the Cattle King.

Added TO the other effects Of Grant
Gillett's departure has been the arous.
ing Of Woodbine's muse who inscribes
the following stanzas to his memory
OUR CATTLE KING.
The news that flashed over the wire
Was that Gillett had gone to the WALL
COMMISSIONER are here filled with Ire,
For our cattle king made great haul.
They say that to Spain he Is sailing,
With money and diamonds galore;
But his meteOric career appears to be palinl
And downward he'll certainly soar.
Although his conduct Is outrageous
And the law he seemed to DEFY
That the plunges he made were courageous
No one will attempt to deny.
The terrible crash came without warning;
Twas entirely unexpected by all,
TIL at two one cold winter morning,
The COMMISSIONER gave us u call.
But Glllctt had gone-left the city,
Where he was no one could tell;
Cattle were starved without pity,
Feed was attached and no one would sell.
And commissionmen, both great and small,
Are filed with righteous sc0rn,
And II G. G. in their hands should fall
He'll wish he had never been born
He organized the cowboy band,
But In music he was a bungler
And now drge floats DER the land
For our famous cattle punger.
