Nothing of a very violent nature oc-
CURED yesterday in connection with
the Old Forge strike, but there were
a number of exciting incidents and
several that came nigh being very ex-
citing.
The night was free from any dis
turbances, but with the approach of
day came the usual morning scenes.
The deputies in squads commanded by
Manager Joseph j. Jermyn, Super!n-
tendent Edward Jermyn and II. F. Fer
ber went out at daybreak to the sur
rounding hamlets to escort the work.
mon to the mine,
In line with the resolve made the
night before, the strikers were abroad
in larger numbers than usual and more
determined than ever to prevent men
from getting to the mine to take their
places. Such OF the workmen as came
along under guard of the deputies
were permitted to pass without moles-
tation further than a volley of jeers
and epithets of "Blackleg" and "Scab."
Those who attempted to reach the
mine without the assistance of the
deputies were in most cases halted by
the strikers pickets and compelled to
turn back. Some who made a second
and successful attempt reported that
the strikers had forcibly prev" "nted
them from reaching the mine and told
theml that If they were caught again
they would be killed and their houses
burned.

their women no sooner sighted the
workmen going across the fields than
they started out to head them off and
give them at least a farewell jeer.
The plateau between the mine and
Main street and the field lying below
and to the south were the scene of the
most exciting episode.
Two workmen started for homa

They kept behind the brow oc the

When a Tribune reporter passed
through the hamlet-Jerusalem it is

there was scarcely a man to be seen
anywhere about. Less than an hour
later when the two workmen started
to steal across the plateau, the village
fairly swarmed with shouting men.

weapons we're in view but stones were
gathered and a few carried st'chs.
The two workmen saw the mob hur-
rying to head them off and, quicken.
ing their pace into a run, took a course
to the northeast and disappeared in
the direction Of Rendham..
FURIOUS STRIKER.
One OF the strikers who was intoxi-
Gated became furious when he saw the
prey escaping and, raising high above
his head a huge stone he had been
carrying, he dashed 1t to the ground,
and then picking 1t up repeated tie
performance six or seven times, all
the while mutterng imprecations
against Dem blackleg" in Hungarian
and broken English.
At the edge of the field over near
the main road five houses face the
commons. In these houses live n
number OF Italians and among their
number are several who are taking the
strikers places at the mine.
When the crowd was seen coming
across the commons In the direction
or their houses those Of the Italians
VINO were at home imagined that an
attack was about to be made on their
colony and CONSERVATION reigned sd
preme.
Ihe women ran out OF the houses
ana rushed forward to meet the on
coming strikers, crying out beseech-
insly Tor them to turn back and plead
ing with them that they would not
hurt my gooda man" who they SOL
EMMY avercd was mo blackaleg." The
strikers, presumably, had no intention
10 molest the italian colony but their
attention being called to it and the
original game having eluded them,
they resolved to devote a few min
utes to the italian colony
They moved over toward the cluster
OF house In halting, aimless sort Of
way and were within a hundred feet
or so OF the fence line when a door
IN the second floor of stone house
in the center Of the group was sud-
denly flung open and a big ferce-mus-
tached italian appeared on the thres-
hold with gun at his shoulder and
the muzzle pointed at the foremost OF
the strikers. Rehind him could be
seen crowd OF other Italians looking
out over his shoulder and all talking
excltedly.

CROWD MELTED AWAY.

The crowd halted, shifted about and
finally melted away to the right and
left and went around the houses by
the side streets to the main road at
Fallon's. Later they came back in a
body and stood on the road intersect-
ing the street skirting the Italians
houses. The man with the gun came
down in front of the house and walked
up and down the street sentry fashion
casting defiant glances now and then
In the direction Of the threatening
crowd.
The assemblage in the road had by
this time assumed large proportions
and when the women at Jerusalem
saw 1t, they rushed across the COM
mons thinking the long expected out
break was at hand. Wnen they came
up they urged their men to "go for the
blacklegs," saying I'VE help you. We
fight the skeb, too,' and like words
of encouragement. But the man with
the gun dlspelled any warlike tenden-
cies that might be caused to arise in
the threatening crowd and gradually
it dispersed and disappeared.

tributaries in Montana and Wyoming
are described and figures of available
water inserted.
The conditions in the drainage basins
of Humboldt river and of Great Salt
Lake in Nevada and Utah are described
and also those along the ella river in
Arizona. The far Northwest has not

SEARCHING A SHIRT PROPERLY.
A Simple Operation That Only a Few
Housewives Really Understand.

From the Gentlewoman for May.
After they have become "bone dry"
put the shirts. collars and cuffs through
a wheat starch made by pouring foam
ing hot water over a smooth batter
obtained by stirring wheat flour and
cold water together until it is the con-
sistency of thin cake batter This
should be boiled slowly for two hours
and then strained through a cheese
cloth to leave it perfectly free of
Jumps. All to each quart of boiling
starch teaspoonful of white wax, such
as is especially prepared for laundry
use.
The secret of a good smooth finish
to stiff starched clothes is in the method
of starching. This must be carefully
done. Spread the shirt bosom over a
clean board. and with piece of thin
cloth rub the starch into the bosom
with strong, firm strokes. There should
not be wrinkle in the linen after it
is thoroughly wet and starched. and all
superf1uous starch is wiped off with a
cloth. The Wristbands and neckbands
are treated the same way, and the
shirt is again hung out to dry. When
it is thoroughly dry-''bone dry''-the
shirt and collars and cuffs are dipped
for moment in boiling water and
quickly wruns through a wringer with
the rollers pressed as tight together as
they can be turned. The pieces should
now be left to stand for at least two
hours before they are ironed.
