sABIN's ROADS
His Manager at Washburn Threat
tened With Death by Laborer


BAYFIELD,, WIS.-There has been much
trouble over the manner in which the
affairs of the logging railroad oper-
ated by ex-senator D. NJ. Sabin OF
Minnesota were settled. For two months
the trainnen. engineers and other employees
received no pay. Finally operations were
brought to a standstill and the men demand
ed that the money coming to them, which
amounted to between $1,000 and 81, 900, be
PAID. Suits were instituted and liens Sc
cured on the logs which had been hauled over
the road.
All these things, however, were unimpor-
tanti IN comparison to what happened this
week IN Washburn, when the chief Of police
took revolver away from one of the men
who had declared he was going to shoot ex
County Judge Howard Benton, the manager
of the enterprise. Later the same day this
laborer was found with a Winchester rifle,
and he declared it was his intention to take
Judge Benton's life. z

was the chief promoter and builder of the
Washburn, Bayfield, & Iron River railroad,
which was recently purchased by the North
crn Pacific. He also operated and built the
Bayfield, & Western and was for time con-
nected with the Peerless logging road out
from Ashland. Thousands of dollars of un

Mine Strike Commission Continues
its Investigation.

Scranton. Pa, Dec. 9.-Almost the
entire session OF the coal strike CON-
mission was taken up by the mine
workers in presenting their side OF
the controversy with G.. d. Markle &
Co. in the Hczleton region. The min
ers placed witnesses on the stand who
gave testimony TO show that the COM
pany refused TO employ them because
they belonged to the union. had evict-
ed them from their houses for tho
same cause, that the docking system
was intolerable. that the question OF
the men getting the 10 per cent in
crease in wages granted as result
OF the 1900 strike is much In doubt.
because the men do not know how the
company is figuring It out; that the
price OF powder which enters into the
computation of the increase had been
raised and that the size of the mine
cars has increased. but the wages
have not. Two Hungarian women.
one OF them the mother OF the boy
who testified on Saturday were placed
on the stand and told how the Markle
company deducted house rent from the
wages of thoir husbands. who were
killed in the mines, and how the com
pany attempted to get them to sign u
paper which would absolve the Mar
kles from damages for the death of
the men. The women also confirmed
the story told by the breaker hoy that
the children had to work without pay
until the debt owed by the dead
fathers was paid off.
