discharged the foreigners and what
lew other miners had entered the

willing to work and wanted no trou-
BILE.
The twenty men who were dis
charged became very indignant, de-
ciared TO Manager O'Neil that they
would not quit, that they proposed to
work and that they would not accept
their pay checks today. Many threats
are reported to have been made by
some of these men. Manager O'Neil
insisted that he controlled the prop
erty and had right to hire and dis
charge whomever he pleased but the
twenty miners would not see it that
way.
AS result Sheriff Schrader was
notified as several of the men were
carrying and displaying revolvers.
Two deputy sheriffs left at once
for the scene of the dispute and
Sheriff Schrader left at o'clock this
afternoon for the mine.
In all probability the armed men
will be disarmed by the sheriff and
his deputies and the officers will
make every effort to amicably settle
the trouble.
The dispute has caused consider
able excitement. 1t is the first mine

Evidence Thst They Were Used Long
Before the Christian Era.
There Is abundant evidence that the
origin of gunpowder and artillery
goes far back In the dim ages Of the
past.
The Hindoo code. compiled long be-
fore the Christian era. prohibited the
making of war with cannon and
guns or any Kind of firearms. Quintns
Curtius informs Us that Alexander
the Great met with fire weapons In
Asia. and Philostratus says that Alex
ander's conquests were arrested by
the use of gunpowder. 1t Is also
written that those wise men who lived
In the cities Of the Gauges over
