Work of Eviction Progressing
at Castle Gate.
PEOPLE MOVED INTO TENTS
DEMoLLI AND KENNEDY FAIL
TO APPEAR.


HELPER, Utah, Jan. 21.-Contrary
II to the expectations OF Sheriff VII
cox and deputies. as well as the
company of state troops brought to
Castle Gate last night 10 assist in the
eviction of the tenant strikers, there
was 10 trouble at the coal camp today.
Early this morning Sheriff Wilcox be-
san his task. first with the single men
and later with those having wives but
no. children The families with chill
dren are to be permitted to remain
until such time as the weather has
moderated and they have something
more comfortable TO move into than
tents. Of the large number moved to-
day most of them went TO the tents
81 the Half Way house. while others
moved on down to Helper. A consid-
cradle number viii now leave the coun-
try. il is said by the leaders in the
strike.
Viii Have to Pay Costs.
Where the tenant strikers have wait
ed for the sheriff TO move them they
win have 10 pay the costs of service,
which amounts to something over S33
in each case, and unless this sum is
Paid. the evicting officer viii sell the
Improvements to satisfy the claim Of
Carbon county for his services. In this
county the sheriff gets q straight out
salary and viii have no discretion in
the matter unless the board of county
commissioners should see fit 10 rebate
the costs on the sheriff. The commits
sioners meet at Price tomorrow. but it
is unlikely they viii do anything in
the premises. The board feels it is
said. that the strikers. having piled up
considerable costs against the county
and the state during the past three
months Of the strike, should help to
bear the expenses.
However, in some cases lenieDcy may
be shown Such cases viii depend
largely upon the financial and other
conditions surrounding.
Cen Confscate Houses.
Under the terms Of their leases with
the Utah Fuel company, il is within
the power Of the company to coHfiscate
houses on company ground. but it IS
not considered that the company viii
take advantage of this condition. What
it wants is the striking element off its
property and out of the county. Then
they viii not be around 20 interfere
with those who desire TO work.
DemOni and Kennedy. who were ex-
pected to be in Helper last Monday
have not as yet made their appearance.
Some of the strike leaders say the or
GAMERS are detained in Colorado.
while still others assert that they are
en- route here from Indianapolis. where
they have been attending the meeting
Of the United Mine Workers, DemoiH
IS under $3.50 bond to appear in the
district court on Feb. S, and there are
those who think this bond VIII be for
feited. Still others say he and Ken
nedy are 10 come together and work
among the miners who have taken the
places OF the strikers in the hope that
the camps can be unionized before a
great while With those Of this opinion
1t is stated great fnroads win be made
inside q year.
Following the evictions today the
treasurer Of the strikers committee
sent an order TO Salt Lake City for all
the tents a leading wholesale house
there can supply. This would indi-
cate that the plans of the committee
is for the evicted ones to remain here
abouts Indefinitely Among the Ital-
ians all over the county. now that
they are put out of their homes or are
TO be. the feeling is very bitter, espe-
cially against Demolli, in whom they
reposed the. greatest confidence
