BELIEVE TIE STRIKE
WILL END THIS WEEK.
This Impression Prevails at Wilkes
barre In spite of the APP
parent complications.

w1LKESBARRE. Pa. Oct. ia can
vass of the operators OF the Wyoming
valley today shows that there Is con-
adorable opposition TO granting the
miners any more concessions than those
outlined in the original offer, namely, 10
per cent increase without any conditions.
The individual operators. especially. are
opposed to tying themselves up TO any
agreement. One operator said the only
way the strike can be settled Is for the
strikers to accept the 70 per cent. with
out any provisions.
Superintendent Chase. Of the Lehigh
Coal Company, said;
Not much dependence can he placed
on the men when IL comes to arbitration.
This was shown In the case Of Mr.. Mar
kic lie favored arbitration. but. at the
behest OF Mr.. Mitchell. his miners re-
pudiated the agreement they made with
their employer. The demand OF the
strikers that the operators should agree
TO pay the increased wages for Fixed
period l. too arbitrary, and the operators
viii hardly agree TO IT,"
Despite the views of the operators. the
impression IS that the strike will be end
cd this week.

HAELETON. Pa, Oct I.--The individ-
uai coal operators who could be seen here
today declined TO discuss the action taken
by the anthracite miners convention at
Scranton yesterday. Neither would they
say what steps the employers would prob
ably take.
II IL evident from their reticence that
the individual mine owners are waiting
to see what the large coal carrying rail-
roads that mine coal viii do.
II Is reported In the coal region tonight
that the presidents OF these roads VIII
hold a conference in New York tomorrow
tion.
There was story ahoat today that the
operators will accept the conventions de-
cision. but nothing has come to the sur
face in this region on which to base the
report.
The United Mine Workers off1cials say
they are now again waiting on the oper-
ators and that they will continue to close
the collieries that have been In operation
since the strike began. four weeks ago.
There are many reports In circulation that
IL the strike continues much longer a
break in the ranks of the idle men will
occur.
President Mitchell and his associate Of
flcials, however. assert their confidence
that the men, both union and nou-union.
will remain away from the mines until
after the strike IL declared of.
There is fear prevalent in this region
that II some of the men do return to work
trouble would probably arise through ef-
forts OF the strikers 10 persuade the men
10 remain on strike.
All the coilleries that are working stili
retain heavy guards.

Sheriff Shaw went to Fort Benton

Sheriff Shaw went TO Fort Benton
last week, taking Silas Buck Of Gilt
Edge to appear before the district court
there. 1t seems that Buck was some
time since defendant in n divorce suit
and twice previously have orders of the
court been served upon him here. Last
week an attachment for his person ar
rived and the sheriff responded with
the defendant
None of the officers elect nor either of
the campaign committees have this year
filed their statements of expenditures
as required by law. In some years past
the point has been raised that while the
statements were required to be filed no
penalty attached for not filing them
and the disposition has been quite gen
eral 10 evade the law. This year there
appears to have been unanimous con-
sent"
Monday afternoon Deputy Nichols ar
rested j. o. Brown at the Nannest ranch
on Burnette creek and yesterday he
was delivered TO Unde Sheriff Martin of
Gilt Edge to answer the charge of as
sault in the second degree, preferred by
the state on complaint of Emma Getsi
of Gilt Edge. The action was brought
in Justice Beatty's court. The assault
is reported to have been in the nature
of an attempt to commit rape.
Under Sheriff Slater says he has re-
ceived word from Judge Tattan to pro-
ceed with the summoning of jurors for
the 18th inst. This quite insures term
of court and as great deal of business
has accumulated, the term is likely to
extend over at least two weeks or very
nearly to the first of the year. The
Gowans murder case is the most inn
portant case ready for trial and it is
possible that the Griesmeyer murder
trial will also be held. Attorneys are
now busy preparing for the term.
Thomas ]. Waddell of Philbrook has
secured patent for a thill spring
which promises to obtain large sale.
The patent includes a hinge arrange
ment for attaching the thills to the axle
of a conveyance and the spring below
takes the weight of the thills from the
horse, while the hinge takes up the
horse motion, preventing the constant
jerk heretofore accompanying in carts
and other two-wheeled vehicles. The
patent is exceedingly simple in arrange,
ment and when brought to the attention
of manufacturers should be source oi
considerable profit to the inventor.
Already requests for extra copies OF
the edition, Fergus County Illustrat

citizens of the county and it seems like.
ly that the number of copies contem
plated will have TO be increased in or,
der TO supply the demand. All orders
are being booked and will not be over
looked when the volume is ready. The
time of publication will depend largely
on the weather during the next thre,
weeks. If our representative is per
