COLD WAVE

Remember now is the beginning of the commencement of house cleaning. Get all those old hard cotton, hair and moss mattresses out and call up and we will make them over into the latest style, and then when you go to bed you can rest. Half of your life is spent there and why should you sleep on those old hard Jumps, when We can thoroughly renovate the filling and make them into as good a bed as If it had cost you $15. All this we will do for the next 30 days as follows: Good clean picking, double side stitched, price $5; good extra fine picking, rolled edge, side stitched, price s6. We clean car
 pets by electricity by putting the carpet into our wheel and start the wheel. It just tumbles over and over and knocks every germ out and the dust must go. Call Us up both phones. Turner Bedding Factory, corner Martin avenue and State street.

The work had not continued many
hours before q stranger made his way
in upon the dock and began to argue
with the first fisherman he met. Boyd,
| approaching him, demanded:
What do you wantT"
Nothing said the newcomer.

What for? I'm just talking to this

collar and quickly disproved the asser-

street

swore as he skunk Off.
The first actual violence, however,
occurred when the fishermen knocked

the police department, then summoned
Big George II was with considerable
difficulty that the nonuniOn crew
fought its way back to resume work
at / O'Clock.
During the afternoon the strikers
made several attempts to enter the
dock shed. and it required a firm
stand by the guards to restrain them.
The next morning found the non
union men out In such force that they
were divided into n night and a day
crew, half of them being sent back to
report later. while among the noun
tains Of freight the work went for
ward faster than ever. But in time
the city awoke to the realization that
serious conflict was in progress.
The handful of fishermen, outnum-
bered twenty to one and guarded only
by a thin line Of pickets, became
center of general interest.
It was on the fourth day that Boyd
espied the man in the gray suit among
the strikers and pointed him out to
his three companions, Clyde and Fra
ser having Joined him and George in a
spirit of curiosity.
Late in the afternoon, without a
moments warning. the strikers rushed
in a body, bearing down the guards
like reeds.
Emerson and his companions found
themselves carried away before the on
slaught like chips in the surf. then
sucked into a maelstrom where the
first duty was self preservation. Boyd
succeeded in keeping his footing and
eventually fought his way to backing
of Grated machinery, where he stopped
and ripped cleat loose. Then, laying
about him with this weapon, he clear
ed space.
At the first alarm the fishermen had
armed themselves with bale hooks and
bludgeons and for a time worked havoc
among their assailants.
Seeing Clyde in a helpless condition,
Emerson shouted:
Come on! I'll help you aboard the
ship" He found a hardwood club be-
meath his feet and with it cleared a
pathway for Clyde and himself. He
suddenly spied the man in the gray

garded him coIdly, but the young
mans penitence seemed so genuine. he
looked so weak, so pitifuly incompe-
tent, that the other lacked heart to
chastise him. It requires resistance TO
develop heat, and against the absence
of character it is impossible to create
any sort of emotion.

himself engaged in a furious hand to

ness swallowed him up, after which he
found himself upon his knees, his arms
loosely encircHng a pair Of legs. AS
he struggled upward something smote
him in the side with sickening force,
and he went to his knees again.
He could only raise his shoulder and
fling an arm weakly above his head in
anticipation of the crushing blow he
thought was coming. But it did not
descend. Instead he heard a gunshot
A weight sank across his calves.
Then, with a final effort, he pulled
himself free and staggered to his feet,
his head rocking, his knees sagging.
He saw a mans figure facing him and

Fraser lifted the young clubman,

That night under glaring headlines

recognized the manager of the North

Marsh whirled about. Eth? All,

Marsh informed Boyd of the anger
Of NIildred's fnther at his canning en-

Mr.. Wayland were to visit Kalvik on
a yachting tour. Emerson was great
II amazed at this information; also he
realized that Marsh had arrived on

on a strike because the captain, Peas

by the union.
Its Marsh again." said Big George.
Yes" Emerson answered; Its a
holdup pure and simple" A look of
intense anxiety came into his eyes.
When Boyd returned some two hours
later he found the dock deserted save
for Big George, who prowled watchful-
ly about the freight piles.
''Wen, did you fix 1t upT' the fisher
man inquired.
NO" exclaimed Boyd. ITS a rank

There are some things a fellows
manhood won't stand for. I'll carry
that freight aboard with my own
bands before I'll be robbed by a labor
union at the bidding of Willis Marsh
Say. viii you let me load this ship
my way?" George asked.
Can you do it?'
Bats thick lips drew back from his
yellow teeth in that smile which Emer-
son had come to recognize as har-
binger of the violent acts that rejoiced
his lawless soul.
Listen" said he. with a chuckle.
"Down the street yonder I've got a
hundred fishermen. Half Of them are
drunk at this minute and the rest are
half drunk"
Then they are Of no use to u.s.
'T don't reckon you ever seen a herd

you? Well there's just two things

II can. All I'm afraid of is that I

Bait bore signs of strife. The big
mans lips were cut, while back of one
ear a knot had sprung up overnight
like a fungus.
They fell to work quickly, stripping
themselves to their undershirts; they
manned the hoists. seized trucks 'and

a thoroughly nouunion energy. Some

Nothing" Boyd hurried to his hotel,
a prey TO mingled anger and contrition.
So Fraser had told the truth, after all.

chosen TO remain under a cloud himself
rather than inform on a friend. 1t was
quite in keeping with the fellows pc

Boyd found the two men together ana

I'm 1903 we wrote you regard

was superanuated by the North

Death of Infant.

Died Friday morning at 10 o'clock,
Marguerite Bowles, granddaughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. L. BoWles. Interment
at Rosemont cemetery by the side of
her mother.
The mother only preceded her babe
five months. The separation was not
long, and happy must have been the
reunion.
While little Marguerite's stay upon
earth was only a few months, she had
made for herself in the hearts Of loved
ones a place which can not be filled.
We are told that in the records of
the Omniscient, length Of years is not
the gauge of a human life, and when
the baby: prattle was hushed and lit
tie Marguerite went to- Join the chill
dren up in heaven, her mission here
was done. The bereaved family have
the deep sympathy of the entire COM
munity.
