wise proved to be. About fifty four
Greek laborers were brought into that
place Friday to work on the G. M. &
ST. P. road. The foreigners, previous
to this, had been engaged in raising
tracks and thought that their work
there was to be the same. Instead of

of shoveling 'tailings'' and cinders
out of a pit. They loudly expressed
their indignation and finally stated,
pere'nptorily, that they would work no
longer. To fill their place a gang of
Italians was brought in and they
proved to be less particular in their
tastes. The moment, however the
Greeks discovered the 'dagoes' they
laid plans for battle. They arrived
the frightened Italians from the pit.
At this juncture the county authorities

manned on the job.

BABY HANGS IN MOOSE.
Little Children at Play Tie Rope Around
Infant ard Pull 1t Toward
Upper Story.

VIROQUA, Wis, May 9.-LSpcciaI.I
Suspended IN midair with rope
around its body and its 6-year-old
brother Juggling at the other end. the
infant child of Mrs. John Dugan mar
rowly escaped being dashed to death on
the sharp corners of Il stone cellar way.
The mother ran over To II neghhur
home nearby, leaving the baby in the
care of it's brother and "a lO-year-oId
sister.
In their play the children conceived
the idea Of hauling baby upstairs 10y
means of the clothes line. The rope was
fastened about the little body after the
boy had attached the other end to a
catch on the second story window.
Standing at the sill, the youngstcr
tugged away ana succeeded in pulling
the baby several feet above the ground
before neighhorS, alarmed by the infants
piercing screams, investigated. They
rescued the baby just as the brothers
strength WAS exhausted and he had about
decided to let the rope slip. The baby
would have fallen into the stone cellar
way to certain death. As IT was the
little one nearly straugled.
