Sunday Morning Fire.

About 6 o'clock Sunday morning
Burners Department Store was dis
covered ablaze. The fire department
responded promptly and the flames
were quickly extinguished, but not un-
til the entire stock had been singed
and some of it badly burned. The
stock amounted to about $4,000 and
there was $4,000 insurance. The
building, the Crouch block, was badly
damaged and DR.. W. j. Matthews and
W. II. Harmon who had offices in the
second floor suffered some loss by fire,
smoke and water. The losses are be-
ing adjusted and Mr.. Bruner is now
closing out his damaged stock.

Dave Shipley Injured.

While trying to snake" a log along
a hillside Monday Dave shipley was
badly hurt. He was on the lower side
trying to hold it with hand-spike but
it got away from him in some manner
and rolled partly over him. The most
serious injury is to his head. He was
taken home at once and medical aid
summoned. The skull was not frac-
tured but the blow was a severe one
and he has not yet entirely regained
consciousness. He is partially par
alyzed and does not speak. The doc
tors think there is a clot of blood on
the brain that will clear up in time.
The other conditions are favorable to
an early recovery.

August 92nd, the party left Johnson
City occupying chair car Ethel, speci-
ally chartered for this occasion, at
tached to the regular train on the Il.
I. & W. N. @. railroad. At Cranberry
lunch was served by the ladies, and it
was truly feast fit for the uncrowned
kings present and was royalty served.
The run to Linville in the afternoon
was made in the private car of the presi-
dent Of the Pineola railroad and was
continuous round of pleasure. At Lin
vile the party was entertained at Esee-
ola Inn. Mine Host McRea served an
eight O'Clock dinner that would have
made one think he was in the Waldorf
Astoria. The dining room was then
turned over to the Club and dancing
was INDUCED in until Sunday morning
and Sunday morning is always late
up in the mountains-the scenery is so
beautiful the daintily clad evening al
most refuses to get out of the way OF

morning was spent in communing with
nature while the party was speeding
over the mountain pike to Blowing
Rock where dinner was taken at the
Blowing Rock Hotel. Having admired
and absorbed the beauties OF nature on
the outward trip, on the drive back the
young gentlemen devoted themselves
to the natural beauties, and as the

to avoid accidents. Sunday night was

Strike Reviewed by a Union Mine

Strike Reviewed by a Union Miner.
In taking with couple Of miners
yesterday from Cripple Greek repor-
ter of this paper WAS given an insight
into the strike situation at Cripple
Creek from a union miners stand
point. He stated that the union
miners up in the district would not
return to work until there was fair
and reasonable adjustment of the
trouble; that every miner who desired
could remain there for at least year
and be kept up by the Western Fed
eration that many were leaving be-
cause they had become so thoroughly
disgusted with the leaders of the mil
ltary forces that to remain might lead
them into further trouble; he had
been surprised that General Bell could
display, what he termed 80 much
GALL" he could not call it nerve.
This miner was sure that the union
men-eveIy one of them-were act
ing in gentlemanly manner and
were more law abiding than the mill
tary officers of the national gus ard. He
did not believe that the miners from
Joplin, Mo-, could be Induced to come
and take the strikers places at Cripple
Greek. This miner does not believe
that the strike will be adjusted before
the first of January. He was on his
way to Arizona.

Some Big Salaries.

A. j. Cassatt, president of the
Pennsylvania railroad, draws larger
salary than any other railroad official
in the United States He is credited
with receiving $4,000 a year. A
number of other railroad presidents
receive $50, 900 year each.
In the matter of salaries the indus
trials appear to be more liberal than
the railroads s. O. T. Dodd, the
general solicitor Of the Standard Oil
company, probably receives as large a
salary as any other person in the
country. Including commissions he
is understood to receive $3.50. 900 a
year. 1t is not known what the
salary of John d. Rockefeller, the
president of the Standard Oil company.
amounts to. If there is any other
person IN the Uuited States who re-
