Scodeld, Carbon Co., Dec. 9.-In the
camps OF the national guard here all Is
quiet and serene There is practically
nothing TO do outside of the regular
camp routine, which commences with
revelle at $3.50 n. IN. and winds up
with taps at $3.50 p. m, when all are
In bed, and quiet regns supreme, the
only disturbance being the tread Of the
sentries on their posts or the occa-
sional rap Of their hands in order to
keep warm. There is practically no
sickness in camp, outside OF Capt.
kamerman OF Mantl. who reported this
morning with a light attack OF tom
sliitis, He was taken care of by Sur
geon Major Benedict, and shortly after
went back to his post at Winter Quar-
ters
The output of coal at Winter Quar-
tiers today was Sl2 tons. There were
ho disturbances at this place today
other than drunken Finn, who, on
his way to his home, met some miners
returning from their work, and COM
menced TO abuse them The miners,
realizing his condition, paid but little
attention TO him,

Winter Quarters this evening: they
came in from Fairyiew, Sanpete coun-
ty over the divide distance of about
IL miles in charge Of Deputy Sheriff

DENIAL BY PARMLEY.
Supt. Parmey Of the Winter Quar-
tiers mines when seen this evening,
characterized the report Of Mr.. Thai
to the Federation OF Labor as a made
up story, with no truth attached to IT,
Mr. Parmley severely criticized Mr.
Thai for not going to the office Of the
company, where he could have had ac-
cess to the payrolls and maps of the
mines, and for his preference to take
the word Of the strike agitators on all
points, thereby obtaining false reports
OF the conditions here.
Supt. Parmley afhrms that he does

| In the mines more than eight hours a
| day. unless in case Of emergency. This
may be occasioned by miner upon
blasting his coal out, finding that his
| roof IL considerably weakened, and his
| staying for an hour or so and timber
| ing II up, perhaps prevents a cave in,
| which would take him all next day
| to clear out. Each miner as he pro
| ceeds with his work, has to protect
| himself from accidents by properly tim
bering the places where he takes coal
from.

| phatically denied the statement in Mr.,

when Ounce should arrive They say
| just the opposite to this was done,
| and they advised the Italians not to
| parade in body, but that they go in
| small committees, and in this way
| more good could be accomplished.
John Herinell and John Moreno. two
| Italians, were arrested at Winter Quar-
| tiers this morning, upon the charge OF
intimidation and threatening to kill a
