VICTOR UNION
HALL PICkETED

Denver, Sept. ia Republican spe-
ciaI from Victor last night says:
A detachment of infantrymen guard
ed union headquarters tonight during
a miners meeting, searching for w. b.
Easterly, one of the strike leaders.
whose arrest has been ordered by the
military authorities. He was not at
,ne meeting, and after remaining on
guard for an hour and half, the SOL
diers withdrew to Camp Goldfield.
Four rifle shots ringing out in the
night, closely followed by two more,
brought the entire guard details on
the double to posts Nos. and 2, at
Camp Goldfield, shortly after 10
O'Clock tonight At post No. 1 the
sentry was assaulted by some un-
known man, who kept on throwing
rocks. The first shot was fired in the
air, but as the shots kept coming,
three other shots were fired in the di-
rection from which the missiles were
thrown.
At post No. 2 the sentry discovered
a man attempting to creep through the
lines. After the first shot was fired he
turned and ran in the darkness. fol-
lowed by a second bullet fired by the
sentry.
Early this morning Sherman Parker
another of the strike leaders, was ar
rested by the military and taken from
his home to the guard tent. 1t Is
charged that he has used infammatory
language of a nature tending to incite
trouble.
To-day between 100 and 200 men sig
nified their intention to return to work
tomorrow or Monday. The Mine
Owners Association rooms have been
crowded all day with men who are put
through a rigid examination before
they are hired. The promise is exacted
from these men that in the future they
will have no connection whatever win
the Western Federation of Miners.

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new
things OF everyday use in the market
and who is reasonably satisfied with
the old, we would suggest that trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because 1t
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand.
but because each 10c package con-
tains 16 ozs.. while all the other kinds
contain but 12 ozs. 1t is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will use no other. Quality

A Bows ,lcto v,

Crossroads, Tenn, Sept. 14th.-Or-
bra Young, the ten-year-o!d son of Les
ter Young of this place, Is n bright
boy, and one who is very well liked
by all who know him,
For some years Orbra has suffered a
great deal with form of Kidney Trou-
BILE which was very annoying. ana
which made him miserable all the
time. He had to get up three or four
times every night, almost all his life.
His father heard of remedy called
Dodd's Kidney pills. and bought some
for the little fellow with the result
that he is now completely cured OF
the old trouble. He says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me
great relief, and now | can sleep all
night without having TO get up. We
will alwa:s praice Dodd's Kidney
Pills"
There are many children suffering
from Kidney and Urinary troubles.
These disorders should ne promptly
corrected. Dodd's Kidney Pills is
safe and sure remedy for all such de-
rangements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his
troubles and made a well boy of him
self by using Dodd's Kidney pills. and
any one may do .he same by the same
means.
Parents should see to 1t that their
children are given fair chance in
life, and there is nothing that can
undermine the health of growing
child as much as Kidney and Urinary
arrangements.
