Oh, for the armorec knights Of days gone
by
When brave men met the foe
With stout and valiant arm and flashing

And laid each villain low.

None but the slight mosquito dares to bring
lifted lance.
But when I hear his ruthless battle song
Ere he alights,

For armored nights.

LeMars, Aug. 31.-It was reported to
the sheriff here that three men went to
the John CSaff home in Meadow town
ship, called him out and began shoot

the house and grabbed gun, but on
looking out again found the nocturnal

whether it was men who have it in for
Greff.

who since his bankruptcy has been
living in ease and plenty at his home
III Meadow township. He was tried in

the court in Osceola county, where he
will be tried this fall.
It is stated that some of the people

would like to see him punished if he
has done the crooked work they allege
him to be guilty Of and some of these
may have gone to his house on Mon

company of the Philadelphia & Read

pany today fled answers to the suit OF
the federal government to break up the
alleged monopoly existing in the an
thracite coal regions Of this state. The
answers of the three concerns, of which
George F. Baer is president, make a
general denial of the governments al
Legations, and go into the first great
strike in the hard coal fields and Its
relation to a presidential campaign of
1900 when Mckinley was elected
II is declared that the agreements
to advance the price of coal were
brought in 1900 by violence and intiml-
dation of the striking mine workers
and by the failure of the United States
government and the state of Pennsyl-
yania 10 enforce the law and protect
the coal companies, and by the impor-
tunities of the late Marcus A. Hanna,
who, it is alleged, was anxious to end
the strike of the miners on account Of
the impending presidential election.
The Reading company in denying the
governments charges that 1t entered
into an unlawful combination to control
the prod faction and sale of coal, says:
This defendant argued as indefinite
and impertinent certain scandalous
charges and allegations on the state
