Trinidad. Colo, Nov. 6--Last
night meeting of the superintend-

Fuel and Iron company in this section
was held in the company offices in
this city and the plan for handling
the strike was discussed in all its
various aspects. General Manager
Kebler stated that the strike will be
fought out to a finish whether it takes
ten days, six months or ten years. and
that the company will work the
mines if only six men work in one
camp, and that however small the
force of workers ample protection will
be furnished the employees of che com.
pany. The meeting was strictly
secret one, but the above statement of
what occurred is correct one.
Sheriff CLARK has called in all the
commissions issued TO under -sheriffs
and deputies and cancelled fifty eight
out Of the sixty. One of two reasons
is assigned for this, either fifty eight
of the under sheriffs and deputies
could not be depended upon in case of
a strike or it is the intention of the
sheriff to make a request on the gov
ernor for the state troops.

Graphic's Daily Story

NOT originate on the premises SOME
thing might be done. A deadhead tele-
gram was at once dispatched to the
station agent for the information, who.
after investigation. reported that the
creek originated from spring a mile
from Shocks house, but on property
owned by him.
BY this time Il number of engines
had given out at the station for want
of water and were sidetraeked there.
The attorney for the company ad-
viscd that a compromise be effected.
but the president declared that he'd
stop running trains before he would
dicker with an ignorant country man.
There was another tank at IA station
and the president gave orders that the
locomotives be provided with water to
last till they reached this station.
by this time Farmer Shock had got
wind of the fact that the source of the
stream was an important matter, and
he knew that the spring on his farm
Il very copious spring-was the source
of all streams crossing the railroad in
that neighborhood. He concluded to
see what he could do toward turning
the water away from the last named
station. Possessing Il pasture through
which ran the stream that fed the
tank there, after examination he found
that by damming he could give he
stream Il bend that would turn it into
n small river which flowed near The
consequence was that one morning the
creek at the second tank station was
found dried up.
This settled it that Farmer Shocks
claim should have attention. The au-
ditor of the road was sent to see him,
and, diselaiming any liability for the
cow, which had no business to get in
the way. offered the farmer 80 per
cent of the claim, or $3.50 as Il pres
ent. The farmer stuck to his bill OF
So and presented an additional bill of
$50 for ineidentals When the auditor
asked him to specify the items he said
it was the work he had done in turn
ing the streams from their natural
channels.
This unheard OF audacity in charg-
ing a railroad company for the means
used in injuring ii was too much for
the auditor. who left the house in high
dudgeon and reported to the president
that he had found II impossible to treat
with HE unreasonable farmer
\ meeting of the directors was called

the result Of sending -, attorney to
the farmer With orders to settle the
claim before returning. The attorney
cndeavored to show the farmer that
in law he would have no ease. but the
farmer was too stupid TO understand
the point and stood by his demands,
whereupon the attorney. who knew
very we'll that the farmer could turn
his own spring wherever he liked, pro
vided those upon whose property he
turned it did not object. drew on the
company for $175 which he paid the
farmer, who agreed to turn the wafer
back again.

FARMER SHOCK 5 CLAIM
tOriginal.1

Years ago when railroads were new
and cattle guards were not perfected
the L. c. and d. Railroad company
received 4 bill from Farmer Aaron

locomotive, the amount claimed be-
Mg $50. The claim was duly made
out and presented to the station agent.
Now, railroad companies are proven

theless while the Il. G.. and DIS EN-
ployees would have risked dismissal
for not forwarding promptly any claim
the company might have on others
they would also risk dismissal for for
wariing promptly any claim against
the company. 1t must be admitted
that the auditor was in no hurry IN
either receiving or paying the account

NO sooner laid eyes on the claim than
1t went into the pigeonhole where were
kept those claims which it was not
considered necessary to pay soon, if at
allt--in other words, from claimants
without the ability to push them.

to receive cash for his COW rs soon as
the president of the road should re-
eeive his bill. was much disappointed

Perhaps the most curious case Of
surgery that was ever performed in
the region Of the Adirondacks is that
which was executed upon William Nc
Coy, Woodsman.
Mccoy has just returned from the
Spruce Lake Mountain lumber camp
after an absence of two years. He
brings With him the strange story
and its proof.
A year ago last May lie was work
ing with John Duffey getting out some
long poles to repair chute which is
used to slide logs down the mountain
side. Dutfey went to cut limb by
an upward swing when the axe slip
ped from mis- hands and went flying
through the air. 1t struck Mccoy,
and its keen edge shaved off the
greater part of his right cheek. He
blcd profusely while they hastened
10 the camp a half mile away. There
was no doctor within thirty-fve miles,
and worst Of all, the streams were
be forded. Communication with the
outside world was cut off and there
was not likely to be any means of get
ting to a village for some days to
come. But as luck would have it,
there happened to be a nurse in camp
from Utica named William Henry,
who was out roushing it for his health.
Henry took Mccoy in hand After
having partially stopped the flow OF
blood he went out to the stable, took
a little faWn that some of the boys
had captured a couple of days before,
shaved the hair for about nine square
inches Off the animals side, and then
he carried it to the camp. He took
a fountain pen and marked out on the
shaved surface of the fawn the shape
OF the wound on McCoys face. While
some of the woodsmen held the crea-
ture Henry cut the slim around where
he had marked, peeled it off. and ap-
piled it Immediately to the face of Nc
Coy. Having fitted it in place firm
ly, he rubbed over a thick coat of bal
sam gum and over that he placed
tight ban. les. The man stopped
bleeding at once
A week arterward Henry took off
the bandage. The graft was found
to be perfect success. The wound
was healing rapidly. and it appeared
that the scar would show but slight
ly. In four weeks Mccoy was healed
SO we'll that he was able to go to
work. Soon after. however, he no.
ticed when he drew his hand across
his cheek that hair was growing on
the grated skin. He was rather
pleased at that, for he thought that
he might wear beard and thus en-
tirely hide the scar. But in few
days more the hair had grown so
thickly that it's color and nature were
plainly visible. 1t was the hair OF
the fawn growing, and, moreover, it
was spotted like that Of a fawn. He
did not dare to shave for fear Of
breaking open the skin, and allowed
II to grow until the fall of the year
Then the spots disappeared and the
"blue' coat of full grown deer took
its place.
When spring came around he saw
that the hair OF his cheek vas falling
out and fine red hair was growing
AT last the blue or winter coat was
entirely gone, and the red summer
coat took it's place. In fact, he and
the other woodsmen, to their merri-
ment saw that the grated skin
varied and changed precisely as does
the coat of deer.
