TELEPHONE STRIKE STILL ON.
Bel Company Is Getting Along with
out Iinemen.

The strike of the Bell telephone
nnemen is still on. Both sides, en-
ployers and employees. are waiting in
expectation that the other side will
make the move to a settlement secure
at the same time in their own position.
1--WE have made no move to employ
ing any men," said S. T. Howe, dis
trict manager of the Bell Telephone
company. I'VE haven't got any men
to take the place of the strikers, who
had no grievance against the company.
The company has always treated its
men right and has always granted
them everything that was asked within
reason. Quite a number of the men
would not have struck If they had
acted on their own initiative but they
were called out by others. Some in
fact did not know what the strike was
called for
"All 1 am doing now is praying for
some lightning or heavy wind
storm said one of the strikers. THAT
would put the wires on the bum
pretty quickly and I guess we would
get what we are asking for"

FOR CONTEMPT
OF COURT
Dr.. Barton Of Estancia to be Taken
to indian Territory on At.
tachment.

DR.. A. p. Barton, of Estancia, who
has filed on homestead in the Es-
tancia Valley about eight miles south
Of the town of Estancia, was brought to
Santa Fe Sunday by Deputy United
States Marshal Frederick Fornoff, who
will later take him to Eufaula, Indian
territory. DR.. Barton is wanted there
for failure to obey subpoena to ap-
pear as a witness before a grand jury
in a murder trial The court issued
an attachment for him and the order
for his delivery to the Indian Territory
officials was signed by Judge Mann be.
fore the Judge left for Estancia. Dr.
Barton told the deputy that he would
have gladly obeyed the summons ol
the Grand Jury before quitting Indian
Territory but that his wife was very
i'll and he needed what money he had
to bring her to New Mexico and care
for her. When this is brought to the
attention of the court DR.. Barton will
probably be left off with a reprimand
after giving his testimony.
The warrant which caused the ar
rest of the doctor was based upon the
charge of contempt of court.
The case in which he is a witness
is an important one since 1t involves
the life of another doctor, Claud Fl
Mills by name, who is resident of Eu.
faula Mills, it is alleged, poisoned
a young girl in that town in attempt.
ing to conceal another crime. An ef
fort was made to save her life by DR.
Barton but, while he succeeded in con.
teracting the effects of the poison
conditions resulted which caused the
girl to die DR.. Barton said he did not
leave Indian Territory to avoid telling
what he knew of the affair, to save
Mills. He was not locked up while
here but was allowed to occupy a room
in the Claire Hotel. He told Deputy
Fornoff that he would make no at
tempt to escape.
