DEATH CLAIMS PAID.
United Mine Workers Take Care Of
Nineteen in November.

The Iowa Mine Workers paid nine
teen death claims during the month of
November. Eight OF the number were
claims for mine workers wives. The
list OF claims is somewhat lower than
it has been. during previous months
and in the face of the fact that the
number of the miners listed with the
locals and at work in the mines is
greater than during the preceding
months. Twentythree death claims
were paid during October of which
number only six were women.

CLAIMS HE HAD $4,000.
HAS SPENT ALL ON DRUNK

This morning there was arraigned
in the police court II man arrested
last night on the drunk and disor-
derby charge. He was in q really
pitiable condition, owing to the fact
that he was almost n physical wreck
as result of a long spree. He was
not far from the delirium tremens
stage.
The man told Judge Hill that
three months ago he came to this
country from Alaska, where he had
been mining for IA number of years.
He said he had 5000 in cash when
he got back to this country, but this
morning he did not have u red cent.
He declared that he hardly knew
what had become of all the money:
it had simply melted away while he
was drinking.
The court assessed a fine against
the man, but suspended it on the de-
fendant agreeing to leave town at
once.

ranged for the boys of the same grades
where the girls are taught sewing
