UTAH STRIKERS PROTEST.
Want No Soldiers in the Affected
Regions.

Want No Soldiers in the Affected
Regions.
Salt Lake, Nov. ga special from
Helper, Utah, says that John Keliher,
organizer of the United Mineworkers,
has gone to Salt Lake to protest to
Governor Wells against the presence
OF state troops in the strike affected
coal districts of Carbon county. 1t is
also stated that he will employ coun-
sci to defend Organizer Charles De
molli, who was sentenced to 80 days
in Jail yesterday for d%isorderly con
duct, without, it is alleged, being given
any chance to defend himself. The
Jail at Price, where Demolli is confin-
ed, is heavily guarded to prevent pos
sible attempts at rescue.
There is little change in the mine
situation. The output of coal at all
mines is almost at a standstill. Sc
rious trouble is looked for if the COM
panies attempt to bring imported men
to fill the places of strikers.
"A special to the Deseret News from
Scofield, Utah, says that an attempt
was made today by a number of strik-
ing Italian and Finn coal miners to
roll a boxcar down the railroad tracks
leading through a deep canyon through
which a party of railroad and mine
officials were coming. The attempt
was prevented by the military and a
number of arrests made. One of the
sentries at the mines near Scofield
was fired upon early this morning
from a house from which a red flag
had been displayed until taken down
by the militia. The would-be MUIR
derer was not caught.
An ugly feeling seems to be growing
rapidly among the strikers. A num-
Der of Italians and Firms left the fields
today for Europe.
AS a result of vigorous agitation
started by Colonel Holmes, president
of the Commercial club, and Governor
Wells, the price Of coal, recently ad-
vanced Is cents a ton, was today re-
duced so cents a ton. 1t was claimed
the advance was entirely unwarranted
and legislative Investigation was to
have been asked for.

BEATEN BY SOLDIERS.
Billings Mixed Football Team Goes
/ Down to Defeat.

Notwithstanding that the organiza-
'tion was crippled to the extent of be-
ing deprived of the assistance of six
of its best players, all of whom fill
important positions, the high school
football team concluded to accept the
challenge of the Fort Yellowstone
men and went to Gardiner yesterday,
game evidently was a good and in
teresting one, judging from the score,
40 in favor of the troopers.
In view of the outcome it is believed
that had the regular team met the
soldiers, the latter would certainly
have been defeated in spite of the
fact that they are larger, heavier and
are said to contain a number of for
mer professional players in their
ranks. The Billings men who re-
manned at hame were Rowley, Rixon,
Baker, Morris, Linton and Gruwell.
Their places were filled by substitutes
pressed into service at the last mo.
ment. Several OF them had never
played with the team before and knew
nothing of the signals, while the others
played last year or had practlced only
a few times at the beginning of the
season.
