To The LEADER:
The Miner with it's usual ease
and custom of prevaricating and
distorting the facts comes out in
its issue of Nov. 18th, and proceeds
to slur and abuse some of the citi-
zens who attended the meeting
held at the court house on the
evening Of Nov. 9th.
Now, the sole and only objectof
that meeting as appears from the
records of the evening was to ex-
press disapproval of the article APP
pearing in the Miner, which was
an insult to our honorable Judge,
who was an invited guest to the
Old Settlers meeting held in Wash
burn. There was no desire uttered
or unexpressed that evening to pro-
tect Satterlund or any other man
except the Judge.
Some claimed that the dirty and
cowardly article appearing in the
Miner was an attack on Satterlund
through our Judge, but King John
is a citizen of Washburn and was
not an invited guest on that day;
Furthermore, from the way Harris
is devoting his valuable time and
the more valuable space of his pa
per to Satterlund, it would seem
that he IS quite able to endure
and withstand the assaults made
upon him by the Miner man.
We are considering the remarks
made by the judge on that day at
the Court House, which were few
and brief and consisted chiefly in
lauding the people of the county,
as a whole, as being peaceable and
law abiding citizens and conduct
ing the affairs of the county on an
economical basis.
If the proceedings which took
place on that day as whole were
not in accordance with the wishes
or desires of some of the Old Set
tiers and the Miner man, it gives
that paper no license to abuse ou1
judge for a few remarks made by
him in the court room. Because
the Miner man for "private" rea.
sons dislikes King john it gives
him no excuse to abuse a man who
may speak a good word for Satter.

The Miner man with Herman
Hanson went into the store of Thos

and cowardly attacks on an honor

Miner man into III. Holtan & Son

!, ings of that evening. With wha
results? III. Holtan & Sons with

THE COAL STRIKE INQUIRY.


Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-THE United
Mine Workers Of America as an or
ganization was severely scored yes
terday by counsel before the anthra-
cite coal commission. The non-union
men, through their attorney, John
T. Lenahan, presented their side OF
the controversy and demanded con-
sideration at the hands Of the com
mission, claiming the legal right 70
earn livelihood as they might elect
without the consent or dictation OF
the union. During his presentation
Of the cases Mr.. Lenahan denounced
the union as fomenter Of crime and
anarchy. The main feature OF his
argument was the claim that the
union had no legal or moral right to
coerce miners into membership or to
arrogate to itself the authority to
fix the wages Of mine workers.

STRIKE IN OFFICE BUILDINGS


Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE strike Of the
elevator men and janitors in a num-
Der OF the. office buildings Of Chicago
came to an end last night and the
men returned to work this morning.
The abrupt finish Of the strike was
unexpected and was brought about
by the managers association rcceding
from the position 1t had taken in re-
fusing to submit its case tothe Chi
cago board Of arbitration. 1t was
claimed by the managers that a ma
jority Of the men on this board are
friendly to the teamsters, who have
been allies of the elevator men in the
strike, and that their case would be
prejudiced. They wished different
set of arbitrators. They announced
last night that they had become CON
WINGED that they would receive fair
treatment by the board and agreed to
submit the case. The men declared
two days ago that they were willing
to abide by the decision Of the board.
The teamsters agreed to supply the
buildings which were running short
Of fuel with coal this morning and all
chance for trouble has come to an
end for the time being at least.

WINS $4,000 ON ONE RACE.


The largest amount ever won on one
race in the United States was taken
down by F. T. Plunger) Walton, VINO
Jew weeks ago filed a petition In
bankruptcy. II was at Sheepshead
Bay. Sept. IA, 1882, the race being .
sweepstakes Of a mile, $500 each, with
$500 added, between Pierre Lorii-
lard's Barrett, 1903 pounds; Dwyer
Bros Bootjack, 1903; and Snedeker y
Co.'S Girofe, 1O3. Whorton, the Eng
lish bookmaker who came to TINS
country with lot Of money and pluck,
and returned home with small bank
roll and weakened spirit, was dong
business on the race. He laid Walton
$4,000 to $4,000 against Girohe at
the opening Of the betting, and shorty
afterward gave his $4,000 against
$4,000, making a total OF $4o'uuu
against $4,000, which Is still the
heaviest transaction between any two
individuals that has ever taken place
on a race in this country. Girofe won,
Barrett was second, and Boot1ack
third. Walton won $4,000 more from
other bookmakefs, and cleared $50
600 on the race. Billy Donahue rode
the winner, Hughes was on Barrett
and Mclaughlin on Bootjack Loril-
lard and Mike Dwyer were heavy los
ers on the race.
The greatest wager between individ-
uals ever noted at Chicago track was
made during the Washington Park
meeting Of 1890. But 1t was not on .
race at that track. It was on the
match between Tenny and Salvador, .
mile and q quarter, at Sheepshead
Bay. George Wheelock, who was
booking on the local races, offered to-
lay 8 to against Tenny. James A.
Murphy asked II he would take
5000. Wheelock answered: 'Yes.
Do you want any moreT Murphy
replied that he would double y, and
Wheelock called out, $4,000 to $1O,-
O0O," which was registered with less
trouble than attends the average W.
bet. Wheelock was confident Salvador
would win, and Murphy, with tele-
gram from Dave Pulsifer saying,
'Tenny will run in two-dve," in his
pocket, was equally confident that Sal
vator would not win. The race was
run In POS, and Salvador won by q
head. Isaac Murphy, when he dis
mounted, told Matt Byrnes Salvador
won in hand, and afterwards empha-'
sized that assertion. OF the specta-
tors who were in position to give them
good views Of the finish Of the race
nearly ali emphatically or profanely
declared Murphy and Salvador were
both "all out"

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE iegis-
lative coal investigation committee
tried yesterday to find just where the
railroads can be blamed for any part
in the coal famine. Kansas dealers
testified that to great extent the
coal supply in this state was cut
short by the poor management by
railroads in regard TO their freight
cars. Scarcity Of cars and motive
power has been responsible for the
shortage as much as the strike in
Pennsylvania, the dealers said,
