! Southern States in carrying on the fight
when it was once started. Their intensity
of purpose was everywhere manifest. The
Paul Reveres of the bloody conflict Were
not confined to those in male attire. In
deed the Lydia Darrahs OF the South were
found everywhere our armies went, and
their earnest devotion and daring risks
beggar the powers Of computation and re-
capitulation. Do you not know that the
first advance of Federal troops from For
tress Monroe in the first Penlnsular Cam
paign was made known through the daunt-
less energy of a Virginia matron? Mrs.
Hannah Tunnel, who seeing the Federals
advancing to surprise General Magruder at
Bethel, ran 70 rmiles, eludng their ad-
vance guard by detours through the woods,
to give him warning OF their stealthy APP
proach She met General Magruder and
Colonel Ray out. slenderly attired, recon
noitering and they would have come in
collision with the advancing enemy but for
this timely warning. Had it not been for
the voluntary and patriotic service rem
dered by this noble and energetic woman
in saving the First North Carolina Regi-
ment from possible surprise, the blood of
many Wyatts might have stained the
field of the first conflict. and the battle
of Big Bethel might not have been record
ed among Confederate victories. There is
another interesting episode OF the war
which should not be permitted to fade
from the memory of those who admire
genuine womanly heroism, and physical
courage In 1863, when that great fight
ing leader of fighting men, had pursued
Colonel Streight with body OF two thous

burning of a bridge over Black Creek, a
crooked, deep and sluggish stream with
preciptous clay banks and mud bottom.
Forrest had followed Streight for five days
and nights. with relentless energy more
than two hundred (20O) miles, and the
Federal Commander, believing that For
rest could not cross the stream, posted ms
men along the high bluffs to insure the
complete destruction of the bridge, and
hoped to give his picked and chafed mule
riders some rest from fatigue and loss of
sleep. Forrest seeing the burning bridge
rode to the modest home Of the widow San
son, on the roadside about 200 yards from
the burning structure and was told how
the enemy had gotten over their men, and
piled fence rails on the bridge and had
fired them, and were taking some rest;
and was cautioned not to move his men
down the hill else they would be slaugh-
tered. for tho enemy were in line beyond

There was not all wrong on the part OF

1t is said by those Informed on the
situation that this strike is the first
move in a general campaign for an

ployed in the smelterS of Denver but

was derailed at the entrance of the

number about 1000 men, posted pick
cts at the two smelters. Very few
men were working. The police depart
ment was called upon for help by the
Smelter people. and fifty specials were
sworn in and taken to the Globe Smelt-
er under command of Chief Armstrong.
An equal number of specials was sent
to the Grant smelter. The smelter
people are considering the adviSability
of requesting the governor to call out
the state troops to guard their plants.
General Manager Guiterman. of the
smelter company. said that the two
plants would be operated in spite of
the strike, and that the men who go
to work in place of strikers will be
