OPERATORS MAY STRIKE.
Great Northern Has :. oubIe With the

Special to Republican.
Sioux City, July7.-All telegraph
operators on the Great Northern Will
quit work Saturday evening of this
week, unless the demands of the tele-
graphers' union are met before that
time by the railroad company.
This will affect only few men in
Sioux City, and they may decide not to
walk out. But it has been definitely
determined thIt all operators on the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
will quit their keys July unless their
demands are complied with. A poll
was taken last week by telegrapher
on the Great Northern, and the senti-
ment was unanimous for strike. 1t
was decided that on account of the
heavy passenger business at this time
of the year, particularly on account of
the Lewis and Clark exposition traffic,
the railroad companies would be seri-
ously Inconvenience by strike, and
that this is the ,opportune time to Sc
cure concessions.
Sioux City telegraphers in the en-
ploy of the Great Northern stated to-
day that the railroad companies would
be given every opportunity to make an
amicable settlement.
The telegraphers want shorter hours
in certain Offices, general increase in
wages and pay for overtime at in
creased rates.

Iowa Girl Causes Sensation at Ep-

Denver, July miss Hattie Brent

sensation here yesterday by making a
touching appeal on behalf Of Mr.. and

Mcdonald to hunt down the murderer
OF Richard McWilliams, their son, who
met strange death at Hoehne, Col.
three months ago. The appeal was
made Just as Governor Mcdonald con-
Guided his address of welcome to the
leaguers. He did not give a direct
promise, but it is likely that the young
woman's appeal will not be in vain as
Governor Mcdonald appeared to be
much affected.
The coroners jury returned verdict
Of suicide in McWilliams' case. but the
parents were loathe to accept it. As
soon as possible, they had the body of
their son exhumed. Two bullet holes
were near the heart, their location be-
ing such that it must have been i'm
possible for them to have been self
inflicted.
The parents are well known citizens
of Diagonal. Their son was a promi-
nent young man at home, and had
gone to Colorado to make his fortune.
