pATSY'S OWN STORY.
The Man Who Called Him a Hermit
Is o Sensation Monger'

Patsy Morley, the mining man who
has been working a claim In the foot
hills above Pennington called at the
News Office today and said that the
reporter on the morning newspaper
who designated him as hermit was
sans,tion monger who didn't know any
thing about civilization. Morley rents
n house in Pennington and lives there.
He is no recluse and as far from being
a hermit as any man who leads the
kind OF life that h. does, can be. The
story. too. about him seeking safety In
a cave when the fire approached close
upon him is also myth. He simply
climbed a cliff OF rocks as staeid by
the News" and remained there for
about three quarters OF an hour when
the Are had burned Itself out. II was
a hard climb and he was very tired
when he had finished. but II resulted
in him getting 10 a point Of safety.

STRIKERS RESUME WORK.
MR.. CHAMBERLAIN IS SCARED.
Good Sized Storm Said to be Brewing in South Africa Over
What is Called The Imperial Governments Anxiety
To Reward DsoyalU and Aggression"

and antagOnlzlng the Liberalists OF
Cape Colony and Natal, II may safely be
said that Mr.. Chamberlain might easily
have conceded all the generals asked.
These exceptions, however. involve so
many wheels within wheels that the
discussions are likely to be protracted
with a result that will combine as much
OLA compromise as is consistent with
the imperial dignity. These halfway
courses and undramatic donouements
do not enter into reckoning OF the Eng
glish public. whose imagination has
been unusually fired by accounts OF
fridays conference. Nothing has so
frocibly brought home to the average
Englishmen the end Of the war as the
visit of the Boer generals 10 Mr., Cham
berlain's Office. and its possible results
are magnified out OF all reckoning. The
British government will give the Beers
all they can desire to gain their CO.
operation in the establishment OF the
new regime but already there Is
n good-sized storm brewing among the
Beers OF Cape Colony, Natal and
Rhodessia and among the British resi-
dents of the South African colonies
over what is termed "the imperial gov
ernment's anxiety to reward disloyalty
and aggression" one OF the colonial
premiers recently said to representa-.
tive Of the Associated Press:
"Mr Chamberlain IL more scared now
by the South African loyalists than he
ever was by the Beers. With such
conditions prevailing, II Is obviously
impossible for Mr.. Chamberlain imme-
diately TO secure any im-Hrtant con-
cessions for the 9oers even though he
may recognize toe justice OF their
claims"

get for new measurement to be taken
by the water commissioner for the pur-
pose Of settling on basis Of exchange
Of waters between the farmers and the
city, from 100000 gallons to S,5oO,oO0
gallons. II was also alleged that Supt.

isfy the claims OF the state prison and

er filed an affidavit today setting out

jorty OF the water commissioners, and

the lands which It purchased In Par
leys canyon and not for the purpose OF
decreasing the flow of the stream for
the measurement.
Supt OF Waterworks Hines also filed
