Fulton's Streets Ruined.

The fine macadamized streets OF
Fulton are being ruined by the con-
struction of a sewage system. The
little city, which has always been
justly proud Of its good throughfares,
is having bitches dug in the center Of
nearly all streets and at the present
time most Of them are impossible
especially SC in wet weather. IL is
thought that they will be put in con-
dition as soon as possible but it will be
several years before they regain their
former smoothness and excellence.

CHILDREN
STARVING
Wives and Children of Miners in the
Cripple Creek District Are
Without Necessities
OF Life.

OUT 5uel or tne means 10 PuT-
chase either, the wives and
children OF the deported union
men are the real sufferers in
this awful civil war.
In times OF peace the miner
will average 81 a dayi in wages,
but the men have been out one
lyear. Few OF them saved a
lcent, for this is a wide open
town, with a saloon every 100
fleet and a gambling room in
every saloon.
For a time the union paid
benefits = meager ones, but
they meant bread; but with
the riots these stopped.
When the Real Suffering Began
The union headquarters we're
wrecked, the books seized and
the officials thrown into the
bull pen.
Then the real suffering be-
gan. The men themselves are
we'll fed, but their families are
in want. 1t is not for lack Of
money.
The Western Federation OF
Miners at Denver has nearly
1000, 900 in IFS relief fund,
but the man who attempts to
to disburse this money would
risk his life.
Certain it is that he would
be arrested and deported the
instant he attempted to dis
tribute the cash. And then il
the face OF starvation these de-
voted women think first Of
their husbands. They depriv-
led themselves and their chill
dren OF food that they might
carry it to the men in the bull
pen, and when their scanty
stores ran out their appeal wa:
mot for themselves, but fol
their men.
Heroism Of Starving Children.
