RIOT At MICHIGAN MINE
STRIKING TRAINMEN ATTACK
MEN GOING TO WORK.
One Man Killed and Several Injured
In C!ash-Forty Land in
Prison.

Calumet, Mich.-Rockland, a little
mining town in Ontonagon county,
was the scene of wild disorder Tues
day night, when the striking TRAINERS
at the Michigan copper mine attacked
the miners who were going to work
under the protection of Sheriff Nc
Farland and heavy guard of depu-
ties. A mad riot ensued, which lasted
some time. As result one man was
killed and another MORALLY wounded.
Several more were shot, and 40 of the
strikers are now under arrest in the
town hall at Rockland.
The trouble started on Monday,
when the TRAINERS struck for higher
pay. The miners and other employees
wanted to work, as they were salts
fled with their wages, but did not for
fear of the TRAINERS. Tuesday night
Sheriff Mcfarland and a large party
of deputies who had been sworn in
at Ontonagon and Rockland went to
the mine to guard the men who de-
sired to work. AS the miners went to
the dry house to put on their work
thrown at them by the strikers. After
changing their clothes the miners
started for the shaft house, when the
strikers attempted to rush them. The
trammers were armed with stones,
clubs, knives and revolvers. In the
general melee several shots were fired
by strikers. The sheriff and deputies
then returned the fire.
The battle ragged fiercely for time
but the trammers were soon beaten
back, and as many as could made q
break for liberty and made good theil
escape. Sheriff Mcfarland and depu
ties held 40 of the rioters, who were
Quartered in the town hall and takeT
to the county Jail at Ontonagon under

wounded being carried from the fielt
by strikers, and their condition no
being reported, it is difficult to sun
up the casualties. One man wa!
killed Tuesday night, another is eX
pected to die. Many were injured b.
revolver shots, stones, clubs ant

PHOTO FASHION PLATES.

Once the fashion-plates were scarecrows
with the slimmest, wasp-like waists,
But the modern magazines have improved
artistic tastes.
Now instead of awful drawings made by
men who couldn't draw,
There are Photographic half-tones Tree
from any eas%of flaw. -,
To such lengthS I'VE they proceeded with
this system nice and new
That it's hard to tell a portrait from a
"side and back-breadth view.
And there's many a sharp surprise that for
the dear old fogy waits .
Since they've got to using photographs OF
folks for fashion-plates.
See the picture in the paper, of a lady
fair and sweet
just the very sort of person that the fell
lows like to meet.
Fluffy tresses crow her forehead, she's a.
figure like a dream.
While the witching imps of mischief meath
her lowered lashes CLEAN.
Then you bring the paper closer, SOS to
figure out her name
She's "a dark-blue velvet costume with a
jacket of the same"
Other blows as hard as this one make us
curse the foolish fates
Since they've got to using photographs of
folks for fashion-plates.
There's a girl that simply ravishing, with
eyes that fairly speak
She's "a princesse gown of pink and white
that's trimmed with lace antique"
There's another clad for comfort in a long
and c~linging sacque-
She's "a robe de mutt embellished with
some shirring at the back"
There's a matronistic person with a brow
of classic height
She's "a handsome walking costume gath
cred bias at the right"
Thus we helpless men are maddened by
these rare and nameless bats
Since they've got to using photographs of
folks for fashion-plates.
