sTRlkE AT MAckAY.

From a notice published in
this issue of the MESSENGER
from the Mackay Miners Union
of Mackay, Idaho, warning all
laboringmen to keep away from
that camp. it is self-evident that
a strike is on there. The notice
in question reads in part: THE
White Knob company discharged
some men for attending meet
ing that was called to discuss
grievances.
We looked for some mention of
this strike in the last issue of
the Mackay Telegraph-but not
a word was said. A matter of
news of such Importance must
have been known. But when we
remember the Telegraph has no
editor-or Al hast the name of
one fails to8appear in that paper

published by the Telegraph Pub

wondered at. tits no mystery
for the records of the Auditors
Office of Custer county show that
Mr.. Darlington owns the control
ling stock of the Telegraph print
shop, and for this reason that
paper is muzzled.
Any body of men have a per-
feet right TO organize to protect
their own interests, where such
organization is not for the pur-
pose of destruction of life or
property-whether it be Min
ers' Union at Mackay, or any 9TH
er organization, secret or otLer-
wise. Labor has just as much
right to organize to protect itself
as capital has. We say as free
Americans citizens they have
that right, and no man or com
pany of men shall say no. Labor
has also right to strike at any
time if it deems best.
Upon this important question
of strikes the New York Court of
Appeals. one of the highest
Courts in the land, but a few
days ago handed down the fol
lowing just decision
1T is not the duty of one man
to work for another unless he
has agreed to, aud if he has so
agreed to, but for no fixed period,
either may end a contract when
ever he chooses. The one may
work or refuse to work at will,
and the other may hire or dis
charge at will. Workingmen
have the right to organize for
the purpose of securing higher
wages, shorter hours or improv-
ing their relations with their en-
ployers- They have the right
to strike, provided the object is
not to crafty malice or infiict
injury upon others, but to secure
better terms of employment for
themselves. A peaceful and or
derly strike is not in violation of
the law. A body of men, who,
having organized for purposes
beneficial to themselves, have the
right when they feel it detrimen-
tai to the interests of their org
anization to refuse to work.
Their reasons may seem in
adequate, but if it seems to be in
their interests as members of an
organization to refuse longer to
work it is their legal right to
do so.
"A labor organization is en-
dowed with precisely the same
legal right as an individual to
threaten to do that which it may
lawfully do"

Monday evening a birthday

did not say how old they are but
as it might not be a good idea to
venture a guess out loud we hope
that they may have very many
pleasant returns of the day.
We believe that it would be a
splendid idea to have the Board

out over the Jordan creek trail
to Loon creek and saw the des-
truction wrought by the Indians,
thence took the old Indian trail
direct to Thunder mountain,
scouting the country as they
went. Near the base of Thunder
mountain they struck fresh moe
casion tracks, and at once made
preparations for an active cam
paign.
The Indians were in their cave
on the side of Thunder mount
ain, the entrance to which they
had cautiously covered with slide
rock. From their lookout they
saw the soldiers unpacking sup
plies and making camp, and
noticed keg in the outfit which
they took to be the soldiers fire.
water. That night the chief sent
one of his most expert hustlers
to bring the keg to headquarters.
This was successfully accomp-
lished, but the Indians were dis
appointed in the contents and
wished to return it and swap it
for something more palatable to
them.
The guard was doubled at the
camp of the soldiers, but in spite
of all precautions that same
stealthy redskin succeeded in
worming his way inside the lines
and deposited the keg of vinegar
at the place he found it and got
ont undiscovered with sack of
sugar-the last in the commits
srry.
After breakfast the next morn
ing the bugle sounded "boots
and saddles,'. and after the troop
were all in marching order the
commander addressed them
thusly
''Men, soldiers, heroes of many
battles: it is evident that we have
at last succeeded in locating the
country of the enemy if not the
enemy. His numerical strength
we have no means of ascertain
ing, but we know to our sorrow
that there is at least one, for two
nights in succession has he elud-
ed the guard and pilfered our
commissary. 1t is true that in
his magnamimity he returned
the stolen keg of vinegar but at
the same time he got away with
our last pound of sugar. My or
ders now are, that we at once
proceed to move out of this
country as swiftly as horsefesh
can carry us, for / fear that if
we were to remain here one more
night that lone, willy. son-son of
son of Thunder mountain
would crawl into camp and kill
US all with a club ~
Hence, the soldiers gave this
particular camping place the
name of Vinegar Hill; but the
commander called it Thunder
Mountain Battlefield and report
ed to the Secretary of War o
very successful campaign; that
the Indians were all killed but
one and he was run into a cave
or crater on Thunder mountain
where he had his choice to either
starve or commit suicide.

1t Is generally expected that tonight 8
meetings of select and common coun-
ellis will be productive of some interest
ing developments in the matter of the
city bonds. Hayes & Sons, Of Cleve-
land, have practically reiterated their
refusal to take the issue, and the city
authorities have been on the alert for
the past two weeks for another pur-
chaser.
In the event of Hayes & Sons forfeit
ing all claim to the bonds, they will
probably be sold to the house Of Ru-
dolph Kleybolte & Co., New York.
Frank Deitrick a representative of the
company, was at Recorder Connell's s
office the greater part of yesterday,
and his presence, coupled with the gen.
eral trend of his actions, caused the
officials in neighboring offices to pretty
generally predict a transferal OF the
bonds to the New York firm.
During part of Mr.. Deitrick's visit,
he was closeted with Recorder Connell,
in the latter's private sanctum. Dur
ing the rest of his stay, he was prob
ably the busiest man in the building.
making almost constant trips from the
.
clerk.
Secretary Mark *. Edgar was des-
patched to the controllers office for a
complete statement of the city's In
debtedness, and number of other
moves were taken which looked as
though Mr.. Deitrick wished to be fairly
sure about the validity of the bonds
before he took any chances. City Soli-
citor George NJ. Watson was called in,
and an interesting and rather lengthy
chat ensued between him and the
agent, about o'clock in the after
noon.
Recorder Connell was not very COM
municative about what ensued at his
meeting with Mr.. Deitrick, and the lat
ter, while far from tongue-tied, wasn't
very voluble either, when it came to a
discussion of the question.
"Why, really" he remarked to a
Tribune man, Sin the first place, don't
know whether those bonds are going to
be offered for sale, and, in the second
place, l don't know whether my house
would want to have anything to do
with them"
He smiled broadly, as he made the
latter assertion, and continued: "How-
ever, Kleybolte e. Co. control large
bond house, and having heard of the
condition existing here at present, in
regard to the bond issue, are just look
ing into the matter. Time will tell the
result, and, in fact, there may be some
developments as early as tomorrow
night"
Mr. Deitrick's firm also bid upon the
s25O,0OO issue of school district bonds,
which We're awarded to Newburger
Bros. & Henderson, of Philadelphia, at
the meeting held July %.

FARRELL'S DOG
HAD THE RABIES
That Is the Opinion of DR.. Ravenel
and DR.. Pierson, Experts
on the Subject.

Expert testimony on the subject of
"rabies" was given by DR.. MaZyk p.
Tavenel and DR.. Leonard Pierson, both
of Philadelphia, in the case of John NJ.
Farrell VS.. Dr. H. A. Paget, yes
terday before Arbitrators Mulholland,
Frank Bonner and Thomas Beck.
The case is one in which Farrell sues
to recover for the loss Of valuable
bulldog that died in the care of DR..
Paget, veterinarian, of this city. At
torney l.. p. Wedeman appeared for
the plaintiff and Joseph O'Brien and
Frank Donnelly for the defendant.
The dog, which was valued at about
$500, was taken i'll. and the owner,
Batalli, took it to DR.. Paget. He dag
nosed the case as rabies. The owner
did not want the dog killed. and the
only thing to do was to contine it in an
iron cage. according to instructions
from Health Officer w. e. Allen.
A few days afterwards the dog died,
and in the meantime Farrell had pur-
chased the animal from Battali for $50.
When he learned the dog was dead,
suit was instituted against DR.. Paget
for a sum, which the dog was valued
at.
The case was heard by Alderman
Kasson, who gave judgment for Far
rell in the sum of 1884. The defendant
appealed from the judgment, and it is
this appeal the arbitrators are hear
ing.
7 Mr.. Farrell's child is seriously i'll, and
the case has been continued until next
Wednesday. Doctors Ravenel and
Pierson had come here from Philadel-
pha to give expert testimony. and
the arbitrators yesterday.
DR.. Paget's defense is that he prop
erly diagnosed the case, and did the
right thing, under the direction of the
health officer, and Is not liable for the
dogs death, In order to strengthen his
theory of the case, DR.. Paget sent the
brains and nerve tissues of the dog to
DR.. Ravenel, who pronounced 1t clear
case of rabies.
Dr. Ravenel has the reputation of
being the greatest authority in America
on the disease, having studied 1t under
Pasteur in Paris. He is the bacteriolo-
gist of the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board. AT the hearing yesterday he
produced the tissues of the dog, on
which he had made an examination.
His testimony was to the effect that
II was clearly case of rabies. and
DR.. Pierson corroborated his testimony.
They both declared that the disease is
absolutely incurable, and the only
course to pursue with a dog under such
circumstances is to kill or confine the
animal until death follows.
