There was more trouble yesterday on
the Iron block. Monday evening a
committee from the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor assembly waited on Mr..
Ayotte. who has charge of the iron
work. and insisted that his men should
join the local union. After some dis
cussion Mr.. Ayotte agreed to ask the
men to Join the union and he old the
committee to come around al noon. At
noon yesterday the committee called
and Mr.. Ayotte told the men he desired
that they Join the union. The men de-
clared that they would not do IL and
would quit their jobs at once I'm pref
erence. One Of them said tina he had
paid SIS into a Chicago iron union. and
inasmuch az there is no iron union in
Butte he did not think II reasonable
to ask him to join a union in Butte.
The men all quit their jobs. but just
at / O'Clock MIR. Ayotte told them to
go to work again. IL is understood
that there will be another conference
to-day. No objection is made to the
wages paid or tn the hours of work,
but only To the fact that the men are

the REST OF THE SLATE
Mayors Appointments to Be
Made Tonight.
ON THE POLICE FORCE
Nearly An of the Old Oricers Will Be
Reappointed. but a Few New
Men VII Find Their Way
to a Star.

Mayor Harrington will at tonight.
council meeting appoint probably al
the rest OF the city officials. There are
two assistant city clerks. two deputy
~treasurers. a sanitary policeman. sani
tary Inspector, assistant street commits
sicner. assistant city engineer. building
Inspector. assistant fire chief and all
the policemen and firemen to be APP
pointed. and IL Is understood that the
mayor will clean up all the appointing
business oo-night so as not to be both
cred with applications any more.
IL is nos believed that there will be
any changes in the officials with the ex-
ception of some members of the police
departments. Some of the policemen
who have served the past year will not
be reappointed. but il is understood that
most or them will be reappointed and
that all the other officials will be reap
pointed. The reason why some of the
policemen win not be r~eappointed Is
partly because 1t is believed that an i'm
provement can De made and partly be-
cause the newly elected aldermen think
they should have a chance to put some
of their friends into office. 1t is un-
derstood that the new aldermen at a
caucus dechied that they should have
something Ia say ABOUT the appoint
ments and that some of their strong sup
porters should be given office. They laid
this matter before the mayor. repre-
senting that the aldermen who are
elected on on years should have the
same opportunity hat Is given the aid
ermen who are elected at the same time
with the mayor. IL Is understood that
in Difference to this view the mayor has
consented to make a few changes in the
police force. No one Of course. knows
except those on the inside who of the
old policemen will have their heads
chopped off and who will be the favored
ones TO take their places.
1t is possible that the firemen will he
appointed tonight, but the mayor had
not completed his list yesterday and
may defer appointing thsm. No firemen
have been appointed in two years. When
vacancies nave occurred the fire com
mittee has usually put on "A man. and
the mayor stated several months ago
that he did not propose to appoint the
firemen until the fire chief and fire COM
mittee should be perfectly satisfied with
the men. The firemen will be appointed
either tonight OF at the next council
meeting.
To-night's council meeting Is likely
to be important. for IL is rumored that
there will be opposition by some of the
aldermen to one and perhaps two OF the
present officials who will be reappoint-
ed by the mayor. Besides the appoint
ments. the council will tonight adver-
tise for bids for the paving work.

said to his father: "You see that hill
in front of us?" Eyes" said Mr.
Warlick. "Well, when we get on tor
of it, we can see Woodstock" "Oh
no, said Mr.. Warlick, you are mis-
taken" Carl, with great earnestness
said: "I'll bet you dollar we can. .
"All right" said his father. When
the top of the hill was reached, sure
enough, the boy found he was mistaken
it wasn't the hill he was looking for
You have lost your bet," said his
father mo, / haven't, said Carl
Down there is the wood and dowr
there where you see those cattle is the
stock, and that makes Woodstock,
you see" The ingenious answer con.
vinced his father that his boy will make
n fine politician.

On Friday morning about o'clock,
Henry McMicken, the colored driver of
the Kennesaw Marble Co.'s wagon,
started over to Mrs. N. A. Stephens
house, near the marble works, to pay
Mr.. j. d. Barrett bill. Near Mrs.
Seymour's house two strange white
men met him and asked him if he had
been paid off the day before at the
marble mill. He answered, Yes. !"
well, we want your money, so hand
it out?" He replied that he didn't
have any money. They told him he
was liar, and they intended to have
it. They started towards him and
struck him on the head with knife,
making an ugly cash. McMicken then
Knocked one OF them down and started
of on run. They took after him and
cut him in the back some half a dozen
times as he ran, practically Kidding his
coat. He ran his hand in his pocket
and threw the money, thirteen dollars,
on the ground. He stumbled and fell
They stopped to pick up the money
He regained his feet and ran off.
Officers Bishop, Brewer and Daven-

for the fugitives, and two men were ar

they proved to be the wrong men.
