strikers then made rush for the car
and lively fight ensued. There was
a regular fusilade, fully a hundred
shots being exchanged by the men and

followed. The police became active
and arrested the non-union men for
carrying concealed weapons.

ribs broken and received q scalp
wound. q "a

West Superior.
West Superior, Wis, Oct. 10. - The
last untouched big timber belt in this
county IS about to be started upon by
the Hines Lumber company. The
company is now getting crews into
the woods to lay ties and rails on the
new logging road, running west from
Hawthorne, where it connects with
the Omaha. Lumber camps are to
be built a mile and half west. They
will be of boards instead of logs, this
innovation being caused by the fact
that less material is thus used, and
the logs are very valuable now. The
timber will not be brought here to be
sawed, but will go to Hayward.

cut held their annual meeting at New

at 10 o'clock with Grand Chief Randall

the first document read, proved to be
the most interesting paper. 1t was re-
plete with valuable advice and instruc-
tions. The statement showed that
while no new courts were organized
during the year there were excellent
prospects of several being before the
next convention. The grand chief
ranger urged the mel Jers Of the varf-
GUS courts throughout the state to do
their part in organizing courts wher-
ever none existed, and, in the mean
time, not to lose sight of the work of
strengthening the weaker courts where
they were found.
There has been an increase In mem
bership of 2S0 since the last report
which is most gratifying growth and
indicates that Forestry is ever pro-
crossing. With proper effort Chief Ran
the membership of the order in this
state can easily be swelled to 1880.
Chief Randall recommends union
meetings whenever possible and speaks
OF the union meetings held in New Ha-
ven and of the fine results achieved.
The report tells of the visit of the ex-
ecutive committee to the various courts

to make further efforts towards ac-

was surprise to both parties, but Mr.
