|. w. WIS ARE
IN ACTION
And Cause Work to be
Stopped on the Clark
Railroad

The anarchists leaders of the l. w.
w. are at work again. They are trying
to intimidate the laborers of the Clark
road into joining their order, and the
men have refused. AS aresult there
is trouble, and it is feared that before
it is over, there will be bloodshed.
Yesterday the mater reached a
climax when armed men appeared
at Camp Five, near Montana Station,
and declared that they had come to en-
force their demands. The Clark people
telegraphed to Sheriff Owens, stating
that riot was in progress, and ask
ing his to dispatch officers to the
scene. In response to this request a
special automobile was sent out last
night with five deputy sheriffs.
The offers who went to the scene
of the trouble were Deputies George
Sweasey, Bob White, Budd Carberry
Pratt and Jackson.
There is no trouble Ger the matter
of wages, for the contractors on the
Clark road are paying their men the
union scale of pay, four dollars a day
And every man is getting this rate
no matter what kind of work he is
| doing
Should it appear that the agitators
are at the bottom of the trouble, anG
are personally engaged in intimidat
| ing the men by force of arms, they
will be arrested and brought to Tono
pah.-Tonopah Bonanza.

ensued in which a number Of men
were injured. The officers were i'm
mediately notified and several deputy
sheriffs were sent from Tonopah and

The Coiored Brothers Reason.

Booker T. Washington told the story of a negro pastor who was having some difficulty with his flock.
 The old fellow came to me and asked me to help him out" said MT. Washington. T went down to the lit tie backwoods country church with bim one Sunday. Incidentally I took occasion to inquire among the parish toners little and found that they had not paid the old man his salary.
 Upon this basis of information I started in to admonish the members of the congregation. l told them that they should pay their pastor; that he had to live; that he had to have his salary.
 All in all, was making a pretty good speech. I had most of the con- gregation convinced. I think.
 But there was one old fellow in the back of the church that was mum. bling during my talk. He would snick- CT little and duck his eyes below the old soft hat he held up to his face. We ain't goif' o'pay i'm any more salary this year
 "The old fellow became so obstrep. erous that I remonstrated with him.
 "'Brother, why are you not going to pay your pastor any more salary this yearT I asked him.
 "'Because We done paid him for them same sermons last y'ar,' was the decisive response"

THE DIAMOND CITY LEAGUE
 WILL CONTINUE Eight Hundred Dollars Pledged For a New Playing Field For
 Next Season.

The managers of the City Amateur league wound up their affairs for the season of 1907 last evening, and to say that each manager was surprised at the final report is putting it mild ly. It has been disastrous season financially, but not so disastrous as all supposed and the reports of the secretary and treasurer were most gratifying. The pennant, on motion of Manager Madden of the Brook lyns, was formally awarded to the Pastimes. Everybody was enthusias- tic over the prospects for next sea- son and a new playing field was the one subject that absorbed the most interest. To show how enthusiastic were the managers and officers, $500 was pledged to be invested in a new ball field. This will be selected be- fore the next season rolls around and offers have been made by well wishers of the league to contribute toward the erection of a fence, bleachers and grand stand. The field will be so ar ranged that athletic sports of all kinds can be played thereon. It will be fixed appropriately for track meets, baseball, and in fact every line of outdoor sport ill which men partici- pate.
 The managers of the league will meet the first Tuesday of each month during the winter to discuss the plans and complete the athletic association. Quite a number have asked the ques- ton as to just how many players took part in the games last season and the secretary gave the list as follows: The Pastimes, the pennant winners. had ? men on the pay roll ;the Brook lyns, who came second. had the small est number of any of the teams IS be- ing on the list; the N1errimacs had the jonah number of 23; the Washing ton Hills and the North Ends were tied with 26 each, while the St .lo- sephs, who brought up the rear end of the procession had the enormous to- tai of 51 players on the roll of honor. Quite number of players for one lit tie league to handle in one season.

WRESTLING
JOE ROGERS
 DOING WELL
Throws Three Men in One Night Over in London Mcleod to
 WrestIe.

London, Oct 30-That stalwart American athlete Joe Rogers, who was brought here from the United States by Tom O'Rourke. has met with huge success during the past week at the Cambridge Music hall and at each house last evening standing room was at a premium.
 At the initial show the American was opposed by Gibhart, an Austrian The tactics of the latter were of a questionable character. and in de- tince of defeat he introduced methods in direct opposition to the rules This led to considerable disorder among the spectators before the Austrian was defeated in minutes D sec onds. The loser has asked for a fur ther trial. Duroski, a Russian, was put down in 1 minute 54 seconds, and Harry Crouch was defeated in min utes 54 seconds.
 The greatest interest is displayed here in the tourney in which Rogers is entered, to take place next month. The winner of this is to be pitted against George Hackenschmidt, the Russian Lion.' In this tourney Rog- CTS is to meet Padoubny and Zzysco, two of the best wrestlers in the world.

ABOUT PITCHER BRONKIE.
Newark Must Pay for Him If He
 Goes There.

The following was decided at the meeting of the minor leagues in New York yesterday:
 In the case of Pitcher Bronkie, who was on the Newark, N. J., re- serve list and sent to Waterbury on an optional agreement, it was de- cided that if the Newark club wants to keep the player it must pay him $50 a month for five months. Bron- kie's contract with Newark called for S200 a month. though Water bury paid him only $150 a month. A claim of $100 of the Newark club against Trenton was allowed, this claim arising from a dispute over the veteran outfielder, Walter Brodie.
 The Springfield, Mass, and Nor. wich clubs were fined s25 each for failure to forward contracts to the secretary. The Newark club made a complaint about ineligible players participating in Sunday games in Hoboken. The National association is to investigate the matter. The session will be continued to-day.

MISPLACED MONUMENTS.

Helpless Figures, Soiled and Grinny, In
 Stone and Bronze.
 The ordinary run of statues, unless they are royal, have only one real pleasant and satisfactory day in their existence, and that is the day they are unveiled. If stone. on that day they are spotlessly clean. If bronze, they ace nice and shiny. After that they are never clean or shiny again. It has to be the statue of a very exalted per- sonage for the soot to be scraped off and t0 have its face washed once a year. The average hero has to be sat isfied with being unveiled. After that no one takes any further interest in him. But it is most instructive to ob- serve the unholy skill with which the soot and other accidents of the air will lodge on the top of venerable bald head and on the surface of what should be an immaculate frOck coat or a well fitting uniform. A Roman toga that has met with accidents is not half so ridiculous as a bronze frock coat and immaculate bronze trousers that have been the scene of disaster. Stand ing in front Of the statue of a great statesman. a man notably tidy in his day and a great worry to his valet, I studied the undignified results of a family of spaTrows that had set up housekeeping under his elbow and thought how indignant he would be could he catch a glimpse of this un- seemly domestic arrangement. - Mrs. John Lane in Fortnightly Review.

How Prisoners Read.

Tt is rather pathetic" said a prison "the way our inmates read their surreptitious newspapers. It is bad for the poor fellows eyes too.
 Tt is against the rule for them to read in their cells. and in the cell doors there are peepholes. to which the jail CTS come noiselessly, seeing that all the rules are enforced.
 'The prisoner who simply must read pastes with a bit of porridge his jour nal up against his cell door beneath the peephole. He sits down on the floor a yard or two away and holds his dustpan in one hand and his brush in the other. Tn this awkward and weari- some position. his eyes nearly popping out of his head from strain, he reads away for dear life.
 And when the jailer's cold. hard eye peers in through the peephole it misses the paper and lights up with some faint appreciation at the sight of the prisoner polishing up his aOOr."- New York Press.
