The local members of the
Western Federation of Miners
have boycotted fifteen of the
business houses at Wallace be-
cause the owners refused to
contribute to the defense fund
Of Meyer, Haywood and Petit

listed because they had given
evidence at some time against
members of the federation or
served on iuries which found
such members guilty Of crime.
In a runaway last week at
Weiser Miss Pearl Jones was
very badly injured. A strap on
the neck yoke broke and let the
buggy tongue down. The team
started running and the tongue
struck a rock and broke in the
center, the splintered end tearing
through the dash board and en-
tering the young lady's hip,
making a serious wound upward
into the abdominal cavity. Miss
Jones was at once taken to the
hospital where physicians did all
in their power to save her life
and she now has good chance of
recovery. The wound she re-
ceived was large enough to admit
a PERSONS hand and splinters of
wood six inches long were re-
moved from the girls body. Her
escape from instant death was
marvellous.
