locomotive engineer working for me for
year, at herdsmsn's wages, who, be-
cause he took part in strike, cannot get
employment as locomotive engineer
anywhere inl thei United States, even
though he should change his name.
- Col. Bob Hume-The snow storms on
the GreAt Northern have iinpeded trsv ell
somewhat and the men are greatly over

He will likely be laid off till the brother
hood of locomotive engineers re-instate
him.

K. Nj Harrison-The N. z. railroad
company has inflicted great damage up

F.A. Hatfeld-In reference to that de-
bate on the school section some time ago

My opponent called me down and in re-
ply mentioned his mistake in speaking
of the war of 176l, when he meant. the
war of 1861, to prove that we were both
