WYNK00P'S DOG
 WAS NOT GUILTY

Last week in the Solomon news items it was stated that deputy United States Marshal Wynkoop's dog had bitten Mrs. Christy. The Industrial Worker has since been informed that a mistake was made in the report.
 MT. Wynkoop's dog had been chained up for forty eight hours in the kennel, before Mrs. Christy was bitten. So it now appears that it could not have been the marshall s dog that bit her.
 MT. Wynkoop informs us that two persons were bitten by his dog some time ago, and since then he has been very careful not to allow his dog to run loose. He is positive that his dog was tied up in the kennel at the time Mrs. Christy was bitten.

ThOS. MARTIN
 OPERATED UPON

Thomas Martin, member of No. 24O W. F. M., who was recently ad- judged insane by Judge Fuller's court and turned over to the federal author ities, was operated upon by doctors Mustard and Southward Monday. The object of the operation was to remove a brain pressure, caused by depres sion of the skull. Martins condition is due to rock having fallen upon his head some three years ago while ' he was working in mine in British Columbia, and to the fact that the company doctor neglected to give him proper treatment at the time of his injury. The Martin case was de- scribed in full in the Industrial Worker of January 31. The union was desirous of having it's own physician perform the operation, but this was not allowed to the union by the court. Sufficient time has not yet elapsed to sl ow the result of the oparatiOn

 The whole affair is the result of a farmers trust which was formed here about year ago. The object of the trust was to absolutely control the output and price of tobacco.
