MlTCHELL'S STATEMENT.
of Mine Workers Presents
Their side OF Dispute.

WILKESBARRE. Pa. June %
President John Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers of America has issued
an address to the public. 1t is partly
reply to the letters of the operators
declining to accede to the demands of
the union which were published abou,
ten days ago.
Briefly summarized, the address says
that every possible means was rosorted
to in the effort to prevent the strike,
claims that the cost of living has in
creased TO the point where the miner
is compelled to ask for higher wages,
denies the allegations of the operators
that the productive capacity of the
mine workers has fallen off, but. on the
other hand. has increased. quotes Off
cial figures to substantiatc the cOnten-
ton that the employers can pay higher
wages without increasing the cost of
coal to the consumer, asserts that the
coal carrying railroads. which control
about 81 per cent of the mines absorb
the profits of their coal companies by
charging eXorbitant freight rates,
claims that a ton at the mines means
anywhere from 2,740 to 3.190 pounds
instead of 2,240 and says that more
men are killed and injured in the an
thracite mines of Pennsylvania annu-
ally than were killed or wounded dur
ing the Spanish-American war. The
address also SAYS that in the event the
union is crushed. which. it adds is not
likely. new organization would rise
from its ruins. 1t concludes with an
other appeal for arbitration of all ques
tons in dispute.

the babe. She made it her papoose.
The suns and SHOWS of fifty years have
darkened the child's visage. and he is
known to this day as Joe Blackbird, al
ways supposed to be an Indian.
Joe Blackbird is the third of the ring
leaders of the Three Counties gang. He
was arrested last fall for stealing cat
tie and hiding them on Phelps island
below Oacoma. Phelps island has e
bloody history. 1t contains perhaps
LOCO acres and lies in the Missouri
river.
The Three Counties gang pose as gen
tlemen. They won't steal all n mans
cattle the first time; but if he "llicks up
fuss" a second visit will follow, and
this time none is left. If the victim
still raises n howl more vigorous
measures are taken. Perhaps he finds
his house in ashes. If he goes too far.
the rustlers take advantage of the fact
that dead lips tell no tales.
But Jack Sully made the mistake OF
his life when he sought the undoing OF
Pete Waugh last fall. His gang had
stolen Waugh's cattle. Waugh was
very vigorously "kicking up a fuss"
and SulIy was afraid to let him go on.
Waugh gave a dance. Sully and con-
federate named Donnereau went to
start a row. The row was started, but
the bullet hit Waugh's elbow instead of
his heart. Waugh knew it was his life
or Sully's, and ut last, after the outlaw
had eluded for twenty years every at
tempt by every kind OF officer to arrest
him, he was ambushed and arrested.
Following this. fourteen others, in
Guiding Blackbird, were arrested;
hence it is the whole effort of the cat
tlemen is concentrated to send those
leaders to the penitentiary. But how
can this be done when men secretly al
lied with the rustlers are drawn on the
juries. when officials are afraid TO do
their duty for fear of a bullet in the
night? The end of the Three Counties
gang is not yet.

In the days when South Dakota was
the heritage of redskins n tall, bony,
red mustached man without Il past
came to Lyman county. His name was
Jack Sully. In n few years lie had
gathered about him twenty or twenty
five confederates. His own hut was
built on the top of the highest bill in
Lyman county. The other members Of
the gang lived about him, scattered
over the whole county. Every man
owned n telescope. and the approach Of
parties was quickly discerned and her
aided when they were miles away.
When marshals and sheriffs came to
Jack Sully's eerie, it was invariably de-
serted.
Innocent parties, even berry pickers
and tourists who wandered near the
rendezvous of the gang, We're warned
by the ping of bullets in the grass
before them to beat a hasty retreat.
Not many years after Sully the Mel
son boys emigrated to Lyman county
and settled down. Olaf Nelson. a mus
cuIar Norwegian, picked their homes
at the south end of Lyman county, near
the reservation. Only one man lives
who ever cowed Nelson.
The favorite pastime of both Nelson
and Sully, after browbeating their enc
mics, was to ride to Oacoma, fill up On
whisky and go through the perform
ance of shooting up the town. This
consisted of riding their bronchOs up
and down the streets, revolvers in either
hand. shouting oaths and ordering ev-
cry man in the streets to "hunt his hole
or be blown to eternity" They were
always obeyed-
One night Olaf Nelson was amusing
himself by shooting holes through the
ceiling of one of the Oacoma saloons
and occasionally shooting the soles of
the Shoes of the men at the bar when 4
tall, giantlike stockman came in. His
name is John Q. Anderson. Nelson saw
him.
Come up and drink with me, or I'll
blow your head off,, was Nelson's
greeting.
Anderson didn't speak. He walked
calmly up to the outlaw. gripped his
nose and twisted it till Nelson was on
the floor, his revolver still in his hand.
Anderson pulled the revolver away,
kicked Nelson out into the street and
told him to go home. Nelson obeyed.
But Anderson is a big man ard a sure
shot.

breath was back on the main street,
riding like a whirlwind and shooting

The town promptly hunted it's hole.
