Sentinel.

When the Eighteenth senatorial dis
trict republican convention is called
to order this spring, the namts OF sew
eral candidates will be presented fol
the consideration of the delegates
Among them will be the No inc of Wal
ter Yeomans, from the township OF
Easton. This fact has been a topic OF
considerable interest this week among
the republican members of the board
of supervisors, and the general trend
of sentiment seems TO be strong in
Yeoman's favor.
Isaiah Long OF Campbell, says, "Mr.
Yeomans is all right, can assure you
that / am in favor of his nomination.
Mr.. Powell can go back as representa-
dive. Here on the board we have
found Mr.. Yeomans first class pre-.
siding officer; fair in his rulings and
willing to acknowledge a mistake. He
will make the kind of senator if, he is
so honored that will do credit TO the
district"
Joseph T. Angel, of Belding, also
declared unequiyocally for Mr.. Yeo-
mans. He said: "He is the man He
will not only be strong candidate
bnt conseryatiev member OF the sem
ate shall do all lean in his interest >
Frederick Pitt, of Orleans, il conf
dent that his town will send Yeomans
delegation, and the Orleans super
visor is strong in his advocacy of the
present chairman of-the board.
James NJ Chase, of Iona township
Isays: ~ had expressed myse in fa-
4 vor of Chairman Yeomans for senator
before l knew Mr. Powell was going
TO enter the field. Mr. Yeoman'~
nomi alton would Of course be an ex-
5Fellent one, though up nv way there
is much Powell sentiment"
4 Supervisor Pryor thinks Mr. Yeo-
mans is 'just the righ man. an idea J

Danby and is enthusiastic over the
proposition.
, Asked aS.to the situation in Odessa.
Supervisor Schneider said there was
sentiment in favor Of Yeom ms. "and
personally he continued, III am in
favor of his nomination "
Supervisor Vaclker, of Ionia City,
and Supervisor Faxon of Lyons,
strongly advocate the nomination OF
Mr. Yeomars, and there are Others
who have likewise expressed them.
selves, all of which inpicates that the
present chairman of the board is
popular among them.

QUITE A DELEGATION
OF Belding's Business Men Went to

Lawsuit
From Mondays Banner.

From Mondays Banner.
Seldom does il happen that as large
a number of Belding business men
take an exodus to a near by town as
there were in the crowd who left here
this morning for Stanton in the case
of Thompson & Co VS. j. w Fleming
to testify to Mr. Fleming's integrity
while business man in this city.
The status of the case seems to be
something as follows: Mr. Fleming
while in business here did his banking
with w. f. Sandell of this city and it
was in the year 1902 that he expert
enced the difficulty that now brings
him into the court. During the month
of May, Mr.. Fleming issued s. 900 in
checks payable at Sandell's bank, and
one of these was issued to the firm of
Thompson Il Co., and on being sent TO
this city was not honored by the bank
because Mr.. Fleming had overdrawn
his account to a certain extent, and
Mr.. Sandell did not feel free TO let the
account grow much larger, and con-
sequently refused TO honor the check.
Collections were a little slow at
that time and this was the cause of
the overdraft although Mr. Fleming
appears to have paid into the bank
about SO, 100 at this time and was dis
appointed in collection that would
have made the amount of the checks
available at that time had it arrived
as he had anticipated
The complainants were business |
men of Gowan who had sold large |
quantities of produce to Mr. Fleming |
prior to this time, and who were |
caught in the financial crash Of Mr..
Fleming as above stated
Those of our business men who went |
TO Stanton to testify in his behalf |
we're w. F. Sandell, n j. Leonard,
w. S. Lambertson, Chas. Brown, w. |
A. Wood, E b Lapham and f. r.
Potter, they will undoubtedly have
much bearing in the adjustment of |
the case in Mr.. Fleming 5 interest.

fear. The case is all but won. The
only trouble is that while the restraining
orders are pending that the hands Of
the unions are tied.
In the meantime friends of union
labor should remember that the Chin
csc restaurants are still unfair with
organized labor. No selfrespecting
American will patronize these joints,
so long as they refuse to operate under
fair conditions. 1t is not true that
union labor will not admit Chinese
workingmen to membership. There is
neither race nor color line in the trade
unions. While the Chinese are not
desirable companions in the trade
unions, there is nothing in their con-
stitutions to prevent them being ad-
mitted as members. All that is neces-
sary for Cinnamon to do is to play
good ball. All that union labor asks
is protection from such injurious COM
petition. Congress saw that Chinese
competition was injurious to American
labor. It enacted a law against them

the same protection as Congress. has

James Muckle, one Of the most re-

died at his home on Palmetto street
early Sunday morning. His sickness
was of but one weeks duration. Be-
sides his widow he leaves five children
to mourn his loss. The funeral was
held Tuesday afternoon from St.
Luke's church, and was under the
auspices of Duluth Lodge, No. %. I.
o. 0. F., of which order Mr.. Muckle
was a member.
Mr.. Muckie resided on Duluth
Heights for several years and won the
respect and confidence of every one
who knew him. He was man Of con-
siderable intellectual attachments, and
was considered to be one of the best
informed men in the community. Up
to a few years ago he enjoyed a
m oderate fortune, which was swept
away during the panic Of 1898. The
early residents of Duluth will, per-
haps, remember him best when he kept
restaurant and cigar store opposite
the union depot.

Los Angeles, Cal. Jan. 1.-tSpecial
correspondence)-As mentioned hereto
fore in these columns, sometime ago
the city council of Los Angeles enacted
an ordinance forbidding any person
from delivering an address upon the
streets or in the public parks without
first having secured a permit from the
police commission, which is owned
body and breaches by the employers
Association. This ordinance was passed
for the sole purpose Of preventing men,
bers Of labor organizations from pub
licly denouncing the infamous Los An
geles Times. Immediately Free Speech
League was organized and the ordin-
ance deliberately violated, for the pur
pose of testing it's constitutionality. The
case against the man who violated the
alleged law has been postponed from
time to time, until the belief is becoming
general that the Employers Associa-
ton is back Of the many postponements,
thus proving that the Otis combination
is not as certain of it's position as it was
few weeks since.
Two months ago the United Butcher
Workmen went on strike against the
unjust conditions prevailing in the
slaughter houses. One boss butcher
came to satisfactory terms with his en-
ployees, and his name was placed OH
the "Ffriendly List Of the Council Of
Labor. The Butcher:s Board of Trade,
which is a part Of the Employers Asso-.
citation, Immediately set about to force
fair butcher to discharge his union men.
Failing in. this, they then set about to
get the fair butcher remove his name
from he Friendly List:o'' SO great was
the pressure that the fair butcher gave
In to the ring, and Immediately an in
Junction was brought by the Employ
ers' Association, to compel the Council
of Labor to cease using the name Of the
fair butcher. The judge issued a tenn
porary restraining ORDER and date was
set to hear the case. This case has
been twice postponed by the Employers
Association, thus delaying a fina, hear
ing as to whether the injunction should
be dismissed or made permanent:
The tactics Of the Otis brigade in these
two cases show as nothing could that
the uniOn-knockers are sparring for
time, and that their sailing is not as
smooth as 1t once was.
The tide has turned. Los Angeles is
destined to be union town.

MRS. w. J. MORAN DEAD.

The remains Of Mrs. w. J. Moran
were brought to Duluth Wednesday
afternoon on the Short Line limited.
Mrs. Moran died in Minneapolis Mon
day evening Of heart failure. The
funeral takes places at the residence
of her brothers, Fred Dryer New
Years Day at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Moran
was 80 years Of age and was formerly
a resident Of: Duluth. Mr.. Moran was
at one. time prominent in union labor
circles here. While in Duluth he was;

The Cooks and Walters union and

to fight the restraining orders granted
against them Legal advisors have in
formed them that all Of the injunct1ons

has been made a party to the Chinese
Injunction. The Assembly will first
attempt to get released from the re-

there. The boycott was inagurated by
the Cooks and Walters union and was
heing carried on alone by that organ
ization. All the Trades Assembly ever
gave was it's moral support to the boy
colt. No court has the power to take
this away. The hearings in all the
proceedings are billed for today. Be-
fore the matters are determined by the
courts there will he quite a gathering

that the points be decided in fairness.
1T is expected that Judge Lochren's

that the National Iron company will

The Christmas Exercises of the
Highland Presbyterian Sunday school
were largely attended by old and
young at the fire hall. on Tuesday
evening. The entertainment was
creditable, but there was room for
considerable improvement. Those
having charge did all they could to
make the affair a success, but there
was insufficient support from the out
side. Because Of lack of help several
deserving children were omitted in tho
gifts of the evening. One scholar
missed but two Sundays during tho
entire years and he was completely
forgotten, greatly to his disappoint-
ment and those Of his parents who
rightly felt offended. All of this was
unintentional, and 1t is hoped that
during the coming year more people
will take an interest in the school 50
that better results will be shown, and
less mistakes made.

the head of one of the horses.
After considerable coaxing, the
animal held by Mr.. Sewall made
a vicious lunge in the air and
with its fore legs drew the gen
tleman under its body and start

was heavily loaded with grain
and passed over the unfortunate
