the giant capercailzie, though stran-
ger to Canada, would find here all the
natural conditions he enjoys in his ma
tive habitat, says a Lachine report to
the New York Sun.
Occasionally found in the highlands
Of Scotland, this greatest of the grouse
family now makes his real home in
Finland, Norway and Iceland. He is
equipped by nature for life in high
ATTITUDES, and fattens upon such nour-
ishment as he derives where only
stunted specimens of birch and fir
trees exist.
North Of Lake Superior, and be-
tween that lake and Lake Temisca-
mingue to the northeast, is a tract of
wild country which is already a hunt
ers' paradise in some respects, where
cartridges and, to the north, ptarmi-
gan abound. Capital fishing is to be
had there, and there are still virgin
waters to be tried, where trout are
known to hide
1t is here that the government be-
gan its work of planting the black
game some three years ago. A good
deal of difficulty was experienced in
securing stock, as the birds have be-
come exceedingly valuable in Europe.
Some So pairs have been carefully
liberated there, and have bred most
successfully. They are to be strictly
protected for year or two longer,
and then it is expected that they will
be able to look after themselves.
Last winter was favorable to the
birds, as there was never any rain to
cause crust to form on the snow, and
they could find comfortable quarters
every cold night under the snow Pine
cones were in abundance, and the
seeds they contain were we'll ripened
and preserved.
Wolves may have destroyed some
birds, for there has been a consider
able increase in the numbers of these
woodland scourges of late years. But
the capercailZie is strong, wary bird
not often taken unawares, even at
night time, and in the presence of
uduSST UcNclOpS WOuucElul luI0ill-
gence So that when once they have
reached vigorous maturity the birds
may be expected to hold their own
against natural enemies.
Nor is it likely that in country
having vast stretches of mountainous
forest land they will ever become ex-
tinct, when care has been taken to Sc
cure their establishment Their Inn
mense strength of flight and innate
vigor and acute powers of vision make
it practically matter of impossible
ity to secure large bag of them.
So that If the protective plans of
the Ontario government are carried
out. this grand game bird may be con-
sidered to be pretty certain to have
come to America to stay. and to glad
den the hearts of sportsmen by his
presence.

Chicago.-"Thats the man who killed
my husband" With these words Mrs.
Charles L. Carlstrom, widow of muir
dered nonunionist, in this city identi-
fed Charles Gilhooley, self-confessed
king of sluggers" and set in motion le-
gal machinery which has unearthed the
fact that Chicago is the home of an or
ganized band of thugs, who, operating
upon scale of prices in the pay of GER
tain labor unions, are engaged in the
pursuit of killing if possible, and MAIN
ing, when fatal result cannot be at
tanned, union men refusing to lay down
their tools and nonunion men who per-
sist in working, despite the entreaties Of
the labor organizations.
Method of the System"
No question now exists here regarding
the methods which some of the labor
unions, whose men quit work in the
great teamsters' strike, employed in
their endeavor to win out. When Gill
hooIey confessed his part in the con-
spiraCy there was some question as to
the real truth in the matter, many be-
neYlng that the man, who has a long
criminal record, might have boosted;
but before the avowal of Gilhooley's
part in the plot came the confession Of
Charles ]. Casey, business agent of the
wagon makers union, No. 4, telling the
whole history of the system" and
branding the teamsters' strike, in con-
nection with which the deeds were COM
nitted, as blot of the blacklist charac-
ter, in the history of labor organizations.
The system, which few found it pos
sible to escape, was this: A list of men
to be disposed of" was furnished the
sluggers in command; the names, begin
ming with the first on the death roll,
were handed out to the assistants, who
Swallowed the victims until opportunity
was given them to carry out their das-
tardly work. A single blow often suf-

committee voted that fund be laid
aside for educational purposes At
the same time a list of names was Sc
lected, including men who had refused
to go out on strike. These names were
selected by Henry ]. Newman, secre-
tary Of the union, and Carlstrom' s
name was at the. head of the list. Gill
hooley said: Whom shall we get first?
He was told to go after the man whose
name headed the list and to get the
others in order. Gilhooley was given
cash from the fund for incidental ex-
penses. ~.
Later met Gilhooley and he said:
Well, l got Meyers -Carlstrom was
known also by the name of Meyers
he put up an awful fight, kicked me il
the Sims and I will have to go and see
a DOCTOR Newman gave Gilhooley
more money, but he kicked and said he
should have SIS for the job. He said
he had received that amount from
other unions for the same sort of
work. We objected at the time, but
later he received five dollars more,
making SIS in all.
Later met Gilhooley in a saloon
on Clark street and he told me he had
got other men. He said he met these
men OH street cars and fixed them. Gil
hooley was given more money for his
services. Some time after this one of
his victims died, and when Gilhooley
appeared again he wanted to know if
we wanted any more smuggling"
Other Gangs at Work.
Although Gilhooley's case has been
well-aired, his is not the only gang
which operates in strikes in Chicago.
There are known to be four other
bands Of desperados, who derive their
living from preying on opposers of
labor organizations. One has headquar-

tiers near West Van Buren, and Hal
sted streets; another near Chicago
avenue and Market street; another
near Twenty-second and States streets,
and still another in the downtown dis
trict. This last clique contains over
80 members, and any exceedingly des-
perate Job is, as rule, placed to
their credit. Nearly 300 assaults have
come to the attention of the Employ
ers' association engaged in breaking
the teamsters' strike, and that most Of
them may be laid to the five gangs
known to be operating in Chicago IS
looked upon as proven fact.
When Gilhooley learned of Casey's
confession he was wild with rage. He
tore about his cell, banging his hand
cuffs against the wall and vowed to
take the life of the business agent, if
opportunity ever presented itself.
"You - he roared. eff you had
kept your. mouth shut they would
never have known anything about it.
They would never have been able to
prove anything against us. You are
a lot of soft-headed idiots and this
talk of yours will land you as well as
me, you -" Another round of
curses completed Gilhooley's senti-
ments on the matter, and he was led
away, still vowing he would have
Casey's life.
To the unions engaged in these ne
farious plots the numbering bands are
known as "wrecking crews" and in a
playful spirit the cash required to car
ry on the business is charged to '.edu-
cational purposes" as pointed out in
Casey's statement.
Gilhooley's confession was easy to
extract from him At first he was sui
len, refusing. to talk, but. a fattering
word as to his prowess brought his
professional pride to the surface, aud
with it his part in the crimes. Carl
strom. the last victim of Gilhooley's
band, gave his three assailants a hard
tussle, and the attorney remarked:
81 guess he gave you pretty hard
fight for your SIS, didn't he?"
81 should say he did-he could fight
some" were the words that escaped
the big fellows lips before he realized
the trap. When he comprehended, he
broke forth in paroxysm of rage.
Gilhooley Is Defiant.

it?' Numbered Gilhooley, his eyes roll

his brow. what are you going to do

reason that slugging is nothing new

The idea must not be gained that every

One benefit of the expose, one in which
the unions will gain, is pointed out by
Louis A. Heile, prominent labor at
torney. He says:

sions of these men will have great in

to discuss the present investigation with
four union men, one of whom is brick
layer, another a plumber and another
street car man. They told me they were
glad that the men who connived at MUIR
der had been apprehended, and hoped
they would be punished.
'"The sooner we get rid of the kind of
fellows who are paying these sluggers
the better it is for us" said one of them
to me. If we had cut them out before
we could never have strike like the
teamsters' walkout in Chicago
I'VE mean to prosecute the investiga-
ton which we have begun vigorously,
and as long as there is anything further
to do. The Carriage and Wagon Manu-
facturers' association is, of course, inter-
ested in the prosecution of the men who
have been smuggling the employees of its
members. We are not going to stop there,
however. We want to know all about
what the officers of other unions have
been doing in the matter of employing
men to slug honest workingmen. be-
lieve that by doing so we can put stop
to the acts of violence which have dis
graced not only the labor unions but the
