last week | hope viii ring the new
bell this issue. Am glad to note that
peace and harmony have once more
prevailed in this little mining camp,
Whitwell. | want to congratulate the
agents of the 7. G. l. Co., for their
good work for the last two weeks in
restoring law and order in this camp
by putting UP posters at their place Of
business, issuing an order and calling
in all their men and instructing them
to lay down their arms and let white
flag be hoisted, and if any of their en-
ployes were found guilty of getting on
public drunk and shooting in the
bounds of the town it would be made
amenable to final discharge. want
to very kindly thank them for comply
ing with that order and want to state
further, that since the Company has
discharged those COW boys of the Wild
West or from some other part, we are
very much surprised to see such a
great change in this town. that law
and order has once more returned and
the good moral citizens throughout
the entire county of both union and
non-union have given credit to this
move. The good moral citizens of this
town that compose the union and the
nonunion element of the higher type
of good citizenship, will endorse this
platform and are ready and willing to
hoist up a white flag in token that
peace and harmony shall prevail.
VIII base my statement and belief on
the following facts as to why l be-
lieve that peace is near at hand as to
the fight on between the union and
company and non-union soldiers. First
of all, after months past they have lay
ed down their arms and have become
| friendly and sociable as to both union
and nonunion alike. end. There is
at present great reduction in the
price of fire arms. A Winchester rifle
that would cost you $500 eight
months ago, you can get the same gun
now at half price, second-handed at
Is, and .3S, Al, IA Colts pistols are
now being pawned from $5 to 81; first
cost $13, IS and IS. Shot guns in pro-
portion. Fifteen months ago fire arms
were in great demand and hard to gel
and prices were up at the top of the
market. But, look here, boys fire
| arms are dull sale in the time o.
peace. The fact is the price of guns
in civilized land to bring ON war b.
tween our fellow country men and rel
atives is treason, which one side o.
this great question of labor or capita
is guilty of. Now as peace advocate
if either side is guilty, please don't LEI
me have to try and convict you any
more of this same offence and if d.
have to pass sentence on your case an.
more I will swear by all that is bat
and all that is good, will send you tt
the state penitentiary for 30 years.
The whereabouts of Yank Hamilton

light leaked out this week that ma,
