WALK TO NEAREST TOWN

Syracuse, Kan. June f1.-Seventy-six
deported miners sent out from their state
on a special train in charge of Colorado
miltiamen We're literally dumped into
Kansas today and left destitute on the
prairie. With a parting voley fired into
the air the militiamen deserted their
charges and returned west. Later the un-
fortunate miners were turned back to
Colorado by an armed Kansas sheriff and
forty deputies.
The miners had been placed on the train
which was made up by the authorities in
control of the disturbed Colorado town,
and in charge of well armed miltiamen
started for the east yesterday. The cars
were closely guarded. The miners were
not permitted to leave the cars, nor were
any Of the hundred or so men who gath
cred at the station allowed to commune
cate with them.
When a point in Kansas half a mile east
of the Colorado state line was reached
early today a halt was made. 1t was a
deserted spot on the wild prairie with no
railway station, eating house or farmers
house within several miles.
voIley Fired in Air.
without delay the men were disembark-
ed, the engine was reversed and the
miltiamen reboarded the train. Col. L.. w.
Kennedy, the officer in command of the
guard instructed the miners plainly that
they were not wanted in Colorado and
told them they had better go east. Half
dozen of the soldiers fired a volley
into the air to intimidate the men and
then started west.
While the miners were decided on what
they should do, Sheriff Brady of Hamilton
county. Kansas and forty armed deputies
arrived on the scene and ordered the men
back to Colorado. Three OF the miners
had already started east afoot. The 9th
ers retraced their steps at the command
of the Kansas officers along the railroad
track westward After a long weary tramp
they struggled into Holly, Colo, small
town near the Colorado Kansas line,
where they were furnished food at the
big Salvation Army station located there.
Despite the emphatic Injunction of Col.
Kennedy, the men after rest again took
up their journey and started overland
for Lamar. Colo.

teresting question: submitted to
the Conference was proposed by
DR.. King of Grace Church, but
rejected by majority vote. It
was that in the future, the
preachers pay their own way.
In the early days of weakness
and poverty, there was some ex-
cuse for the practice of seeking
'homes" for the. visiting breth-
ren. But now it has become such
a serious matter to find such ac-
comodations, that the selection
of a place of meeting is restrict
ed to very few towns. AS a
matter of fact, there is no reason
for this practice now. A major
ityof the preachers receive a sal
ary fairly commensurate with
that earned by the men of like
ability engaged in other profes-
sions, and should be expected, as
they are no doubt willing to bear
their own expenses. For the
minority, provision could and
would be made.

THE LESSON OF THE FIRE

The fire on Sunday evening,
which for a time looked threaten
ing and with a little more wind,
would have been dangerous, has
at least two lessons. The first is
the old one that striking matches
in a stable is potent cause of
fire. The second is the wisdom
of putting the Worthington Du-
plex pump in service as quickly
as possible. AS is well known,
the water mains in this town are
so small that a large loss OF pres
sure is caused by friction. The
first stream in service was from
a plug, served by a four inch
main. Consequently for several
minutes land in time of fire,
minutes seem hours) no effective
work was done. AS soon as the
Duplex pump began forcing
water pressure of eighty
pounds or more, the fire was
quickly extinguished. The Light
and Water Com mmission, we are
glad to know, have taken prompt
action to avoid such a dilemma
in the future.
The work of the Volunteer
Hose Company proves conclus-
lively that the members are ex-
cellent fire fighters. Visitors in
town from Wilmington were loud
in their appreciation of tn
"boys." The crowds who attend
while a fire is in progress, and as
soon as the danger is over, do
not realize the real hard work of
the firemen. 1t is the final work
without the incentive of facing
danger in the presence of a
throng, that zeal and worth are
proved. For two hours after
nine-tenths of the crowd had de-
parted the "boys" were in SER
vice. Nor did they leave while
the slightest chance appeared to
exist of further danger. All
honor to our Volunteers.

THE AWFUL ACCIDENT

The accident at the Railroad
Station last Saturday afternoon
emphasizes the care necessary
in the operation of railroad,
not only on the part of the en-
ployes of the company, but of
the public as we'll. While it is
probable that no added precau-
ton could have saved the lives
of the two young men, the prac-
tice of shifting or drilling
freight train through passen-
ger station at the time a passen-
ger train is due, is dangerous
one. To do so, with a car in
front of the locomotive, abso-
lutely shutting out from the en-
gineer's view the track in front
of him and at a speed of fifteen
miles per hour, as the testimony
before the coroner's jury showed
this particular train was doing,
is doubly dangerous. On the
other hand, passengers should
remember that the Railroad Com
pany has provided comfortable
and commodious station with
waiting rooms for their conven-
fence and these should be used,
not the platforms.
The accident itself was one
that has deeply impressed itself
upon the community. In the
twinkling of an eye the promis-
ing lives of two young men were
blotted out, and the greatest of
sorrow brought to two families.
A man less quick, though quite
as brave, might not have accept
ed the opportunity opened to
Frank D. Suydam, to try and
save his friend. But it is the
men of his temperament of whom
leaders are made. The ability
to think and the courage to act
at once, united. have made the
American soldier, sailor, mer-
chant, manufacturer and farmer
the superior of those of any other
nation. The pathway to glory
frequently leads to the grave.
1t is not always nor usually so,
and Young America is willing
and ready to take the risk. But
this case, unfortunately, was one
of the sad ones with a fatal end
ing. "No greater love hath no
man than this, that man lay
down his life for a friend.
