stories to the effect that the bituminous

there Is no satisfactory proof of this
either.
Whatever it's cause, or what It's results,
the fact is that the strike is on and one
hundred and forty thousand miners are
idle. No effort will be made to supply
their places, the operators preferring to
close the collierles. This will tend
toward keeping the peace, but Ii is hardly
possible that the strike can continue

men, though the fact that there will be

A certain colonel on the staff of one OF
+ Grants generals was much given to
novel reading and went about with his
saddlebags stuffed full of thrilling ro-
mances. For weeks he had been devour-
ing an English translation of Victor
Hugo's "Les Miserables"
One day while passing through a Con-
federate town he saw a young lady seat
ed on a porch, and, stopping his horse,
bowed to her with all the grace OF a
Chesterfield, and endeavored to engage
her in conversation. Before he had gone
far he took occasion to remark. "Have
YOU seen Lees AIiserables 2" anglicizing

1t Is always difficult, and frequently
practically impossible, to get at the merits
of q labor strike. The coal miners strike
is no exception. The operators and the
miners state the case very differently,
and each claims that large part Of the
blame is on the other. The miners
allege that the operators have taken I'M
fair advantage Of them by placing price
far above the market price on explosives
which the former have to buy Of the
latter The operators reply that while it
is true that their price for explosives is
high, this was taken into account in
liking the wage schedule. They say that
II they put down the price OF explosives
they would have to put wages down also.

Lemhi county, where he went toiserve
papers in a suit brought against David
McNutt by David A. Hancock of
Blackburn. Saline county, Missouri.
Hancock alleges that he purchased
fifty-six head of mules from McNutt,
accepting the statement of the latter
that the animals were sound and free
from disease The mules were taken
10 Missouri and there developed sick
ness that proved to be CHAMBERS. All
the mules died and the disease was
communicated to other horses and
mules on the plaintiffs property. For
these reasons Hancock sues to recover

The amount paid for the mules was
81, $50. and the transportation charge to
Missouri was S602. 40. When it was
found the mules had CHAMBERS the band
was guaranteed, and the cost of car
ing for them footed up to $2,613.60.
Eighteen other mules of the value of

three mares and gelding valued at
$500, and two jacks worth $500 Han
cock also asks for $1,000 to reimburse
him for the care of his own stock dur

FINE CATTLE NEAR HALEY.
Shipments of All Kinds From This
Point Increasing.
Especial to The Herald.)

HALEY, Ida. Aug. 17.-Cattle in the
summer range, back of HALEY. which
stretches to the Comas prairie country,
are looking exceptionally well this year,
in spite of the continued drought Gill
man Eastwood, Burns Murphy and Pat
Hughes have rounded up a bunch OF
about 200 2 and 3-year-old steers for
Eastern buyers, which are in prime
condition and are held at good figures,
$35 for 2-year-olds and S42 for 3-year-
olds. A steady forward movement to
Eastern markets is assured if cars are
forthcoming.
The sheep herds of the Snake river
valley range in the summer on the
mountains north, west and east of this
point, where feed and water are more
plentiful, and the growing Importance
of the Wood river as shipping point,
may be gathered from recent ship
ments-75 cars in June and 154 cars In
July, with shipments in August fully up
to the average. This shows what HALEY
contributes to the Eastern sheep mar
kets. From Ketchum forty cars of
sheep were shipped in June and fifty
in July. Some few sheep were sheared
here this year and four cars of wool
went forward, the first time wool has
been shipped from this point. Boise
parties contemplate the building of
permanent shearing corrals, which viii
probably be finished for next season S
shearing
An average of twelve cars concen-
trate and high-grade ores leave Harley
every month. Shipments this month
show already an increase of eight cars.
Ketchum contributes five cars monthly.
