THE HORSE SCALE
 WAS GUT DOWN
There Was in Consequence a Team
 sters' Strike at Roosevelt.

Roosevelt. May 7.(-SpeciaI cores pondence to the Republican)- welt has had her first strike and has come through the ordeal successfully. It was not a strike that would attract the attention of the world. or one Un which the destinies of any great num- Der of people hung, but 1t was a strike nevertheless, and for the short time t lasted occupied the center of the stage, in the townspeople's attention.
 It all came about over a change that was made in the number of horses that were to be put on the wagons hauling clay for the cement mill. Here tofore the number of horses allowed to each wagon has been four, but it was believed that three could as well do the work as four, as the hauling is mostly down hill from the clay beds, and it was decided to try the scheme. When the drivers of the teams learned of the proposed change. however. they were of different opinion, and decided that if they were compelled to work under thise conditions they would quit. They were made acquainted with the plan officially, and immediately they deliv
 cred their ultimatum. The walk-Out was complete over a half dozen men leaving their jobs, and for the time be- ing, the clay hauling business was at a standstin. On Friday morning howev- er a sufficient number of men were found to take the places of the strik
 CTS, and under the new arrangement, things went splendidly. More clay was hauled the first day than had been the average before, and the men in their new jobs were more than satis- fled The strikers were mOurnful in tn hafr voIa ha so quickly filled and that in the future they will not be allowed to work for the government in any capacity whatever. A slight accident to one of the men at Contractor O'Rourke's camp was reported from there on Thursday after noon. The man is an Italian, A. Cam menetti by name. and was engaged in work in the bottom of the canyon as a laborer on one of the big derricks that is being used to fill in the upper coffer- dam. The willingness of a Dago 10 tackle anything seems to be pretty well known, but this fellow met more than his match when he tried to stop loaded skip weighing three tons or more. He was caught between the skip and the derrick and before he could be gotten out, was pretty well damned up. He was removed to the camp, where his injuries were attend ed to.
 Pat, an Indian, was brought into court on Thursday of last week and charged with being drunk and disOr- derly, to which charge he pleaded guilty, and was fined seven dollars by Judge Evans. The man was found drunk down the road some distance, by Ranger Davis, and it was suspected that at the time there might be some clue indicating the one who has been selling the Indians so much bad booze of late, but after a careful search and examination of all the Indians, the matter had to be given up.
 MT. BE. Van Wagoner of Globe, and Mir c. D. Fies of Portland. Ore gon, were passengers on the stage from | Phoenix on last Friday evening. en

They were fortunate enough to be in the regiment
