washed away.

Especial D1spatch to The TImes.)


S5 BLUEFIELD, w. VA, July ga
queer case has been developed by the.
strike in this coal field, and one that
there may be no law to cover. Strike
Agttator3 Davis makes the charge that
important mail came to Coaldale post
office for him. The land lying about the.
postoff1ce was the property of the coal
company, and guards were stationed on
it to prevent trespassers from going over
it, railroad property was also guarded,
and as the agitator did not have a fly
ing machine he could not get his mail.
He reported the matter tos Ex-Governor
Atkins, Un1ted States District Attorney,
who says he knows of no statue govern
ing the matter, nor any law touching on
the case. 80 E
This seems to be the opinion of the
lawyers generally, it. being the first case
of + the kind ever heard of. TIL matter
viii be taken to the postofhce department
for regulations governing such condi-
ton.
FATAL AFFRAY.
Last night Jim Burks and John
James got into a. dispute In the restau-
rant Of Robert Crocketts,- and went into
the yard to settle the trouble. Burks
pulled gun and fired at James, the
ball taking effect In the latters back,
which may prove fatal. Burks made his
escape.
OPERATORS ENCOURAGED.
Case Of Gather, Curran and Bullitt
against the Caswell Creek Coal and Coke
Company, ct. al, in which Judge Keller
awarded a temporary Injunction against
the strikers, some week ago was set Tor
argument yesterday, and attracted con-
siderable attention. The strikers failed
to make the strong fignt they claimed
they would. and on motion of complaint
ants counsel the final hearing of this case
was postponed until September 18th. at
Huntington.
AS the order continuing the case pro-
vides that the temporary restraining or
der, ..stall remain in full force and
effect, the result is exactly the same as
if the injunction had been made perma-
nent
The operators who want to work are
greatly encourag ed at the result, and the
strikers corresp ondingly depressed.
THE STRIKE ENDED.
The latter admit it is another defeat
for them and another victory for their
opponents All seem to think this prac-
tically kills the. strike. All the mines in
the .Pocahontas field are running. and the
output of coal is now about normal. Not
more than two per cent, Of the men
are now out, and the men who left the
field at the beginning Of the strike are
rapidly returning. In another month
the effects of the stri e will be almost en-
tirely eliminated.

GEORGE ALDRICH
FILES AN ANSWER
OBJECTS TO HIS SISTERS PETIT
TION FOR LEAVE TO SELL MER-
CED COUNTY RANCH.

OAKLAND, November 26.-Mrs. An
ME Aldrich Barton and Mrs. Helen
Aldrich Dunning, daughters of the late
William A. Aldrich, who left an estate
valued at more than S650,000 are
meeting with opposition in the suit
recently instituted by them to obtain
authority of the Court to sell ranch
belonging to the estate of their late
father. George Albert Aldrich, their
brother, who is at present in Honolulu,
filed an answer to the suit today
through Attorney Alexander Spots
wood. The brother has a one-fourth
interest in the estate, and he is OPP
posed to the proposed sale of the ranch
for less than half its appraised value.
He admits that his sisters, who are
prominent members of Oakland's So
cial set, have made a failure in their
efforts to make the ranch yield a profit,
but if the property was properly man
aged, he says, it could be made to yield
a reasonable interest on it's value.
The ranch consists of 1925 acres of
land in MERGED county, together with
improvements and nearly 700 head of
stock of different Kinds. The property
was appraised at about 100000. Mrs.
Barton and Mrs. Dunning, who are
acting as trustees of their fathers es-
tate, are seeking to sell the ranch for
$50, 974, which they claim, is a fair
price, considering the fact that agri-
cultural and grazing land in California
has deprecated much in value during
the last several years.
The daughters state in their COM
plant that they have managed the
ranch to the best of their ability, but
have not succeeded in making any
profits. Some years, they say, they
made enough money to pay the taxes
and expenses of conducting the ranch,
while in other years there were def
icits. They ask the Courts approval
of the proposed sale because they do
not wish to be called to account by the
other heirs if the price obtained is not
satisfactory.
In his answer George A. Aldrich al
leges that the ranch is adapted to
agriculture more than to stockraising
and if it was properly cultivated 1t
would yield a handsome profit. Mrs.
Minnie c. Aldrich, widow of the late
William H. Aldrich, another son, and
her five children are named with
George A. Alrich as defendants in the
suit Mrs. Barton is the wife of Will
lart T. Barton. Mrs. Dunning is the
wife of w. B. Dunning.

CASTLE MADE
VERY FAST TIME

But for encountering calms, the bark
entine S. N Castle would have estab-
lished a new record for the sailing
voyage from San Francisco to this port.
AS 1t was, she made a very good pas
sage from the Coast in Is days arriving
Monday afternoon.
Captain Nilsson had the wind with
him after leaving San Francisco. The
first day out the Castle made IT'S miles
the second 302 miles, the third 284 miles
and the fourth PIG miles. This fine
showing caused considerable satisfac-
ton for If the wind but held out, Cap
tain Nilsson saw that he would break
all sailing records by making the trip
in eight days and possibly less time.
Unfortunately the vessel ran into south
westerly winds followed by Gains with
rain squalls. She brought $50 tons
and four passengers. The bark Ed
ward May left the same day with the
Castle but was distanced after two days
out.
The down trip was not nearly so
eventful as was the up trip of the Cas-
tie in October. She encountered a
westerly gale and heavy seas. The
mainmast was lost, sails were carried
away, cabin doors were smashed the
cabins flooded and every thing movable
on deck was carried overheard. She
had a cargo of sugar ballast on that
trip. ,.-s.
