presence Of mind to jump 10 one side,
while her father chased the reptile with
the idea OF killing Il. Hearing the

abandoned the chase and returned 70

TELEPHONE STRIKE.
Twenty.Eight Men Quit Work for Six
Hours and Go Back.

There was strike Of short duration
today, when Is llnemen OF the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company, re-
fused to work for about six hours. They
filed q request with the company two
weeks ago for an advance Of 2j cents
per day, and thinking they had waited
about long enough, formally demanded
an answer this morning. before going
TO work, Supt. Jackson told them that
the directors had not met yet, and he
could not give then and there a definite
answer. This, however, did not go,
and the men quit Early In the after
noon, Mr., Jackson told the men they
must either go TO work as usual or quit
the service Of the company for good.
After thinking the matter over, the
men returned 10 work. and when the
directors meet, the matter will be con-
sldered. The company officials say that
most OF the men concerned have been
with the company but a comparati lively
short time, and their places could be
readily filled. The reason Of the demand
for the raise was the placing Of the
wage scale more on a line with the
wages paid elsewhere. but Supt. Jack
son says his company Is paying as high
as anyone else.
