river near the railroad pontoon bridge
here. A man walked across the big
boat and at the west end found it
swung open. He picked up Il plank and
dove right into the river, hat, coat,
boots and all. The workmcn on the
bridge saw a man in the water and,
supposing that he was in need of help,
got a boat and went out after him.
When they reached him they found
that he was on the board all safe and
sound. On being asked If he would
get into the boat he replied hat he
could swim clear across all right. He
was or his way over to Lyman county
and for fear that some Other fellow
might get ahead of him he wouldn't
wait until the bridge was closed. but
swan over so that he would be that
u earlier on the ground to pick out
a quarter section of Uncle Sans do

The Terrible Point.

No worse slam on both the authori-
ties and the labor unions, of Chicago,
could be imagined than the ''tacit agree
ment" to have no rioting during the
visit to the city Of the President of the
United States.
= That "gave away both sides!
And the rebuke President Roosevelt
gave to the foolish address Of the lead
ers of the strike, urging him not to en-
ploy United States troops, will refresh
en- the country!
In the first place, it is ridiculous that
the United States government should
intervene in comparatively small
strike, when the preservation Of law
and order is in the hands of the author
tiles of one of the greatest states and
the second largest city in the country.
Pitiful, indeed, if they should have to
call for United States troops!
But they have not, and the petition
to the PRESIDENT was mistake, disclos-
ing, forthwith, that the strike depends
on violence for success and that the To-
cal authorities are piteously cowardly!
Every sensible man, regardless of
sympathies, will see the terrible point!
