JOHN SALLUS BURIED
ENClSHMAN WHO DIED HERE ABOUT
THEEMONTHS AGO, LAID DTOREST.

Tl.s iast-nee. ia sad drama was
enacted. here yesterday, when the
body of John Sallus was laid to rest in
Lone Oak cemetery.
He was telephone lineman, com
ing here from Gallipolis about three
months ago, and was taken sick at
the Phoenix Hotel, where everything
possible was done to save his life,
in vsin.
His home was in England and at
the time of his death the body was
taken in charge by Undertaken Tip
petit, who embalmed it and wrote
his relatives for instructions as to its
disposal. 1t developed that the only
relatives he had we're some cousins
residing in England, who were too
poor to have the remains sent there
for burial.
The writer viewed the body yes
terday at the morgue and after being
kept three months is found in a per-
feet state of preservation, modern
methods of embalming making it
possible to keep bodies indefinitely.

WINFIELD BOYS
BITTEN BY VlCIOUSBRUTE SATURDAY
GO TO PASTEUR INSTITUTE.

The inhabitants of Winfield were
thrown into excitement yesterday
when two boys, Herman and Warren
Mason, were bitten by dog sup
posed to be afflicted with rabbies.
The vicious animal sunk his teeth
deep into the flesh of both.
The boys were brought to this city
yesterday and DR.. l. c. Hicks, a
Pasteur scholar, cauterized their
wounds and, while not able to deter
mine that there was danger of rabid
infection, as precautionary meas
ure recommended that the boys be
sent to the Pasteur Institute at Bal
timOre for treatment.
The dog which inflicted the wounds
was killed. The head of the brute
was packed in ice and shipped to the
Pasteur institute, where scientific
examination will be made.
The Winfield case is but one of
numerous instances in which vicious
dogs have made attacks recently. 1t
is believed by many that many dogs
throughout this section of the coun-
try are for some peculiar and unex-
plainable reason given to rabid ten
dencies.-Huntington Advertiser.

COAL STRIKE
TEMPORARILY SETTLED-MEN RETURN.
Ed TO WORK, MONDAY.

The strike of nearly 1000 coal
miners in the Kanawha field which
became effective last Tuesday morn
ing has been called off and part of
the miners returned to work Mond.y
morning. Orders have been issued
by President Ben Davis, of District
No. IT, United Mine Workers, for
the men to return to work and the
differences between the miners and
operators viii be submitted to arbi-
tration.
Until the arbiters reach a oonclu-
sion, the demand of the Kanawha
operators, that they be allowed to
put into effect the long ton without
granting the check-off, as was done
by the Paint Creek operators, will be
granted. Whenever the Paint Creek
operators restore the agreement of
1905 the other operators in the
Kanawha field will do likewise.
AGREEMENT REACHED LAST NIGHT.
The agreement was reached last
night following conferences lasting
nearly all night Friday night and all
day yesterday. Shortly after Presi-
dent Davis returned Friday evening
from conference with National Pres
ident Tom L. Lewis he met with a
committee of the operators and sew
eral propositions were talked over.
The operators renamed in conference
until early Saturday morning, and
practically agreed upon what action
would be taken.
AGREE ON ARBrrRARIoN.
President DAVIS was called into the
conference several times. Saturday
morning the district executive board
of the mine workers met and after
remaining in session all agreed to
the arbitration idea. Just what sug-
gestions were made by National Pres
ident Lewis were not made public.
While he cannot officially endorse any
arrangement in conflict with the pro-
visions of the 1905 agreement, it is
believed that privately, he will ap-
prove the manner of settlement an
nounced last night.
OPERATORS SUCCESSFUL:
As to who will win depends upon
the board of arbiters. Temporarily,
or until the board arrives at its deci-
sion, the operators are granted their
demands. Ifthe board decides that
the long ton is reasonable and the
miners are not entitled to the check
off the miners will abide by the de-
cisiOn. On the other hand if the
board decides that the check-off is
coming to the miners the operators
will carry out their part of the agree
ment.
AMIcABLE RELATIONS EXIST.
The most amicable relations exist
ed between miners and operators at
the conferences here and DISPOSE
ton was shown by each side to be
fair

that was about as far away from the
ordinary as any I have ever heard Of.

was a depositor in my fathers bank.
He was down in what was then "No

and he had bought bunch Of cattle.
On casting about for blank on
which to write check in payment
for them he found that he had none.
Strange as it may seem, he was un-

Locke's Bargain Store is a New
Mercantile Move this Week
OPENS WITH SPECIAL SALE
Wholesale Firms and Factories ofthe East ar
Rushing new Goods to Dodge City

The doors OF Locke's Bargain
Store, q new store in the Incl block
opposite the post Office, which is the
first move Of any Of the members OF
the big department store recently de
stroyed by fire, are open.
It is to be store handling a gen
sral line Of dry goods, ready to wear
goods, clothing etc. Fl. B. Herzer
and C. @. Laing will act as mana
gers, conducting special sales which
are sure to bring rush Of customers
Since the recent fire a string Of
kilograms and letters have been com
ing 10 Dodge City from wholesale
houses and manufacturers that for
many years have been selling stock
to the Bargain Store. These mes
sages regret the loss occasioned by
the fire and volunteer to furnish new
stock for the trade here. In nearly
every case the houses are ready to
give extremely low prices, so that
under the present circumstances
goods may be bought here probably
cheaper than ever before, even under
the former system Of extremely large
purchases.
Like the wholesale houses the old
patrons here have been urging Mr..
Locke to see that stock of goods
should be put in here OF once.
The new store opens with every
advantage for fine trade and the
business will be pushed with energy
with quality inducement, price in
ducement, with the continual hustle
to have what you want at less than
you expect to have to pay for it.
The new store is to be hard work
ing store. No trouble and labor
will be too great to keep the stock up
and to arrange to keep special sales
going. If energy, hard work, ex-
perienced buying, courtesy to the
trade, vigilance in finding and keep
ing what the trade wants, and the
willingness to handle goods at
small profit will satisfy old patrons
and attract new ones, Locke's Bar
gain Store will be successful and
make a rapid growth.
The quarters at present will be
somewhat crowded but that will not
detract from the bargains offered. 1t
will only make the work harder for
the store and the new store will not
mind q lot of hard work.
The flag Of Reliability will float
from Locke's Bargain Store and Mr..
Locke's well known method in his
previous business life will be followed
and goods sold guaranteed as repre-
sented or money returned.
The store opens up with a special
