NORTHP0RT FATAL QUARREL
Between Union and Nonunion Men
story of an Eye witness.

Northport, Wash, Nov. ll.-Edward
Kennedy, formerly blast foreman. at the
smelter, was probably fatally wounded in
a battle between union and Joplin smell
termen, which occurred in Almstrum Bros.>
saloon on Fourth street shortly after A
o'clock Saturday afternoon.
An eye witness of the shooting
gives the following account: when
went into Almstrums saloon this
afternoon Kennedy was standing at
the bar singing. He stopped singing and
said: 1 am a good union man and L
don't care who knows it, However. he
did not seem to be trying to pick quar-
rel with any one The next moment the
joplin men went into the restaurant next
door and came back with their coats off.
and they told the crowd to get out of
the house. At this time another Joplin
man came in at the back door and began
shooting. He had two guns, and at least
half dozen shots were fired. Kennedy
was hit by the last shot Just as he was
leaving through the back door"
Kennedy is well known both here and
In Butte, where he was for some time
blast foreman in the Heinze smelter.
{ Excitement is intense, and a great dea9
OF feeling has been stirred up This is
the first serious shooting scrape which has
resulted from the labor troubles here.
M. A. Stark of Joplin was arrested at
the smelter about o'clock this evening
charged with assault with intent 20 kill.
City Marshal Deitrick and Deputy Sher-
i'll Chris G. Anderson made the arrest
after Stark left the Almstrums' saloon
this afternoon. He returned to the smell
ter and reported the trouble, and when
the Ulcers came up he submitted to ar
rest without protest. He is accused of
firing the shot which hit Kennedy Dep
uty Sheriff Anderson took Stark to Col
vile on light engine, which was char
tered for the purpose, and left here at
p. IN. This action was taken to avoid
trouble which might arise on account OF
the bitter feeling here. A. l.. Coons, an
other Joplin man who participated in the
fncas, was also arrested and is in Jail
here. He is accused of pounding Ken
nedy over the head with a gun.
Kennedy is quite low, and is not ex-
pected to survive the night. The bullet
entered his back on the right side, just
below the shoulder blade, and ranged
downward and to the left, perforatinq
both lungs and the diaphragm, and prob
ably lodging in the stomach or intestines
Peritonitis has set in and there does not
seem to be one chance in a hundred fol-
him to pull through.
, Many guns have been in evidence O
late, and the expected has happened. The
Joplin men have come down evenings ant
, have gone home at times shouting and fir
ing off their guns on the way.

NOrthport, Wash. Nov. 11.-AnOther
Joplin man is under arrest. He is a
big Missourian, but when he went into
Paul Podanys saloon and displayed
two revolvers he was thrown down,
disarmed and thrown out of the place.
He started after achievements and
more artillery, but was overtaken by
Deputy Sheriff Anderson, who placed
him under arrest.
Ed Kennedy, who was shot yester-
day in Almtrom Bros saloon, is in a
slightly more encouraging condition
this morning. The internal hemor-
rhage has stopped a little, he is some
what stronger and there is thought to
he a good fighting chance for his re-
covery. The bullet has not yet been
located.

The Early Rising Fallacy

The old saying, "early to bed
and early to rise, when applied to
modern ways Of living, has Its
drawbacks. For example, people
who make it rule always to get
up at 6 o'clock are not able always
to get to bed early, consequently
their rule simply makes them lose
sleep. Early rising is not neces-
sarily a good thing. Every per-
son should determine the amount
of sleep he requires, and then
should be sure to get it, early or
late. IF you want to sleep well
drink Golden Grain Belt beer
for it quiets the nerves and re-
lieves the brain. Have a case IN
your,home. Order of your dealer
or be supplied by Fred. S. Hazen,

FOREST FIRES.

n
4 chief fire warden of Mime.
sofa for the year 1900 has been
issued, and we acknowledge re
ceipt of a copy Of the handsome
book from Gen Andrews. The
book is a strong argument for
scientific forestry and a repeal OF
the adead and down" timber law
practice. A plea for a national
park reserve is also one OF its
features. But, as Mr. Andrews
says:
saThe first step in forestry is
the presentation OF forest fires.
Without this there is no forestry.
Our Minnesota system is not
perfect and can be improved; but
it has proved more effective than
that of any other state. The six
years it has been in operation
the damage from forest fires,
according to the reports Of fire
wardens, has averaged only
s35, 900 a year, and our forests at
a conservative estimate are worth
100000, 900. To prevent the
destruction of it's scenery, to
prevent the destruction Of life
and property and for it's own
rank in civilization any state that
has considerable forest area is
bound to use all reasonable means
in it's powers for the preventa-
ton of forest fires.
aSince the fire warden system
went into effect in 1895, SO town
ships of Indian lands have been
newly opened to settlement,
of new homestead
farms have been settled upon,
300 miles Of logging and other
railways have been built in the
forest regions, to say nothing, OF
the presence of many hunters, SO
that the danger Of forest fires
has increased instead of dimin-
ished. The spring Of 1900 was
the dryest and most dangerous
season that has occurred since
the warden law was passed. The
number of forest fires reported
in 1900 was 139, which burned
over 179, 521 acres and did dam
age to the amount of S153.399. !"
A study Of the report shows
that Beltrami was the greatest
sufferer in the state from forest
fires last year, 1850 acres
being damaged to the amount OF
SAP, 80. A summary of the fires
in our organized towns gives the
dates, acres, damage and cause
as follows:
