CONSUL APPEALED TO
BY RUSSIAN MINERS
When Pay Day is Delayed Men Try to
Seize Property, But Are
Finally Appeased.

OLYMPIA, Nov 22.-The Russian
consul at San Francisco wired Gov.
Hay today that 13 Russians who had
been employed as miners near Tenino
had received no pay for As days, and
were suffering. After investigation the
governor telegraphed the consul that
the men would be paid. William Nc
Arthur, former owner of the mine, had
employed the Russians. He gave an
option on the property to the King
Coal Mining company, which recently
did much advertising of its stock as
an investment proposition. Pay rolls
were not promptly met and the Rus
sian miners struck. The company Of
fered to allow the miners to work the
mine six days and take the product to-
gether with coal already mined and on
the tracks in lieu of the overdue wages
The Americans among the miners ac-
cepted, but the Russians refused, and
the latter attempted to take possession
of the mine For some days a deputy
sheriff has been on guard to protect
the engineer, who is keeping the pumps
going to prevent the mine flooding. AS
surance was given the governor that
enough coal now mined has been sold
to meet the amounts due the Russians,
and that they will be paid shortly.

Of II o'clock last night, Willie Stahl,
ogod 16 years, son of Mrs. Frank Stahl
of the Garden City house on Poplar
street was arrested by officers Mar

He was not arrested on the Schwa-

II had been positively determined that
he had entered the hardware store of
G \ Hatch on West Main street yes
terday evening, securing a revolver and
ouantitv of ammunition.
When questioned at police head
quarters last night, young Stahl vir-
tually admitted that he had been the
perpetrator of the large number of
similar offenses that have been report
ed to the police during the past
several weeks. and the sum of $40 in
dimes and nickles, contained in a
Schwabacher purse served in large
measure to prove the lad was telling
the truth Chief Davis has been of
the opinion that boys were responsible
for the many burglaries that have
been reported, and when the watch
was found in the Schwabacher store
the day following the theft of $40 from
the cash boxes, the officers were given

THREE GAMES ron BELLEVUE
College Players VIII Have Harder
Work This Week.

NJ 1@
The Bellevue college base ball nine
played so well in Iowa last week that its
supporters nave confidence. that a good
showing will be made in the three games
OF the current week. The first of these
is with the Mosher-Lampman Business col
lege nine, which will be played on the
Bellevue diamond Tuesday. The strong
Creighton nine will be taken on Thursday,
Arbor day, and Sa turday the Omaha West
ern leaguers will be the redoubtable oppo-
nents of the ~collegians. This game will
be pulled off in the Vinton street park.
For Bellevue Gilman and Stark have done
the pitching thus far. Gilman is always
dependable. Friday he pitched . seventeen
inning game without weakening. His style
of pitching will be invaluable to the team
this season.
Stark was wild in the Saturday game
with Amity, hitting two men and passing
eight, but he held his opponents to three
scratch hits, and with better control, will
do a good share in coming contests. All
the fielders did well. Few errors were
made and better team work shown than
expected. Bellevue has had a winning team
for several seasons, but had felt handi-
capped this spring by new and doubtful
men. However. the new ones may prove
the best of all.
