A QUESTION.
DAVID A LIGHT

DAVID A LIGHT
Der earth there steals a shade
OF darkness: sad, fOrlOrn;
The days light gins to fade
We've battled with the Storm
Now night IS downward borne
One Question,-sAre we readyE"
Happy the one who may
The question answer we'll
That deeds performed today.
No accident befell.
And victory doth tell.
The answer am n ady-"
But. o, in sadness he.
Whose work IS not we'll done,
Will be compelled to be.
And think OF victories none,
Before the setting sun
And say am not ready"

ness. with nonunion men. The sheriff
called ont the soldiers and they were
on guard with a Calling gun. The
lines were closed after dark. The
soldiers then marched to the camp
Of the nonunion employees.
A mob of 1000 paraded the streets,
shouting at the nonhnion men. The
mob got beyond control late in the
afternoon and surrounded the COM
pany's power plant and broke every
window in the building. A squad Of
police and militia finally dispersed the
rioters. From the power plant the
mob marched to the car barns. where
It broke into the building and before
the militia reached the scene had
wrecked the windows of all the cars
and partially wrecked the cars. When
the troops arrived the mob ceased the
work of destruction. After lining up
the soldiers in front Of the barn Cap
tain Thryft addressed the mob. While
he was speaking several bricks were
thrown from the ear Of the crowd
over the heads of the soldiers. Thryft
ordered the soldiers to load and get
ready to fire. This order awed the
mob. which then dispersed.
Sheriff Stone has explained the sit
uation to Adiutant General Byers and
asked for more troops.

Crawford and Iharp Acquitted OF Ar
o at jackson, KY.
Jackson, KY, June 1.-THE arson
cases were disposed of Tuesday. when
Crawford and Tharp, teamsters for
Hargis, were set free and no ipdict-
ments were returned by the grand
Jury. Some expressed the opinion
that the murder cases will close the
same way today when Jet and White
would also be released. And what
might follow is the question. 1t is
said by those who will talk even
secretly on the matter that the grand
fury was composed of residents of
Breathhitt county. drawn by those who
are identified by the dominant faction
and all were connected with 1t and no
indictments of any kind were expect
ed from a Jury drawn from this coun-
ty. But the jury trying Jett and
White are from another county and
for that reason a verdict of convic-
ton may be returned.
The secret departure from this place
of the Even family and his arrange
ments to get away Is taken as an in
dication that his life was not consid-
cred safe even after his property was
destroyed. 1t is thought those charged
with the destruction of the hotel on
Sunday were not as culpable as those
lying in wait to kill Captain Even
when he ran to the fire, and that only
hired agents would have been appre-
hended in any event.

the country by a visit to the Univer-
sity of Virginia. It was alumni day

a reception. He was then taken to

Heppner, Ore. June 17.-Estimates
of the loss of life by Sunday nights

reach 300, and may swell when all
are accounted for. One hundred and
fifty bodies have been buried, and it
IS known fifty are missing. Still

are supposed to be among the lost.
People are coming here from all di-
rections in wagons and on horseback

as possible.
The most reliable estimates place
the number of dead at 300. All day
long help in the shape of provisions,

bury the dead and help restore order
have poured in. The Oregon Railway

Montana Indians Aiming to Proven
Collection of Taxes.

SCIIcCIlOn OF dHSS.
Missoula. Mont, June 17.-Trouble
Of a serious nature is imminent on
the Flathead Indian reservation. The
reds have donned their war paint. and,
as they are we'll armed, it is possible
that United States troops will be
called out.
On the Flathead Indian reservation
are a large number Of Indian cattle
men. whose herds are large and con
stantly growing. The government has
decreed that each animal shall be
taxed 81, and this has aroused the an
ger of the red men. Major Smead,
Indian agent, called the wards of the
government together a few days ago
and told them of the tax. There were
deep murmurs of discomfort. and the
indians declined to pay, saying the
government had already robbed them
of nearly all they had.
Accompanied by deputies, the agent
went to the grazing grounds and at
tempted to seize a large number of
cattle. He was met bv a party of
the red men. each armed with a rife,
who told him thew would resist the
taking of the cattle to the death, if
need be.
Several conferences have been ho''
without result. The Indians are de-
termined not to pay. while the aeent
declares they. must. The Indians have
been for several days preparing for a
clash at arms. and as they have an
unlimited number of rifles and are de-
termined to resist the authority of the
government. a battle is feared before
the end of the week. when the time
set for payment of the 81 tax expires.

Striking Chicago Hotel Employees May
Soon Return to Work.

Chicago, June 16.-The indications
are that the hotel and restaurant
strike begun here last week will be
settled by arbitration and that the
strikers will return to work Thursday
morning. Such strong pressure from
outside organizations was brought to
hear on the Joint board Of the strik-
ing unions, here. that at night tho
hoard consented TO a proposition
which VIRTUALLY. ends the strike. Tho
strikers have held out all along
against submitting their grievances
to arbitration, but they now ask thet
arbitration be adonted to bring about
a %peaceable adjustment of the diff
Guilty. The Hotelkeepers' association
will hold a meeting to consider the
proposition of the strikers. and it is
said the offer of the union will be ac-
cepted. Restaurant wner will coi9-
eide in whatever action is taken by
the hotel keepers.
