CLASH I'M
COAL MINE STRIKE

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. I'm a fight
Aact night hear the export ccal mines,
10 miles from this place, a striking coal
miner was shot and killed and George
Davis, of Wilkesbarre, Pa, a member
of Troop A, Pennsylvania state con-
~'stabulary, was seriously wounded.
Nearly a score of others received
minor injuries.
The battle between the strikers and
authorities was fought out in the dark
and was the result of the efforts Of
officers to arrest the ~sharpshooters,
said to be strike sympathizers, who for
the last week have nightly endeavored
TO shoot out a search light placed on
the tipple of one of the mines, where
IA strike has been in ogress for the
last three months. The strike situa-
zion in this section is grave.
Yesterday 81 persons, among them
fwo women, were arrested on charges
of inciting to riot" Thursday a
striker was shot and killed in an en-
counter with the state authorities.
Warrants for the arrest Of SO coal
miners of this section are in the hands
of the sheriff and will be served today.
The borough Of HufftoWn has appoint
ed 20 Of it's most prominent men to
serve as deputy constables.
Rioting has become almost a daily
occurrence. At Irwin the members of
sthe 1910-1911 football team of the Uni
versity Of P%ittsburg are acting as mine
guards. 1t is said the governor may
be appealed to if the disorder is not
stamped out.

ANGRY TURTLE KILLS
HENS FOR REVENGE
Turns on a Gas Jet and AS

After a hard fight Jacobs captured
the turtle in a swamp q few days ago.
He chained it to a stake in his back
yard and started to fatten it, intending
to invite his friends to a turtle sup
per.
The turtle got loose and crawled
into the model barn, which contains a
gas plant, Without the slightest appar-
sent inconvenience to itself, the turtle
snapped off a gas pipe. The gas, es-
Gaping in large quantities, soon filled
tt barn. In the barn are a hennery

ems and pigs were asphyxiated quick
iy; the farm hands, looking for the
leak, inhaled much gas.
The turtle also inhaled so much gas
that it swelled the turtle up and made
At look in prime condition. But Jacobs
knows this appearance is deceptive. He
will continue to fatten the turtle and
finally will serve it to his friends if
only for vengeance sake.

RATHER HARD ON 1.-THE VETS

During the local option campaign
last year "The Vets were predicting
serious business disturbance when
the time came for the saloons to close,
in case the people voted to close
them. They preached the doctrine of
how hard it would be for society to
adjust itself to the new conditions and
feared a local condition bordering on
a panic.
In order to emphasize their case
the saloon men all closed their places
of business four days prior to the
election, just to show people How
it will appear"
1t appeared so good to the aver
age voter that this move only added
to the dry" majority, and as the sa-
looms began closing this spring, bus
mess began to be better Never have
the local merchants had so good a
spring trade or had so much ready
money pass across their counters.
Every building in which saloons had
been kept. is occupied or engaged and
being refitted and the least we can
say is that it is unfortunate for '"The
Vets" that the saloons were closed
on the eve of such good times.

THE VALLEY SUPPLY COMPANY

And yet another, the Valley Sup
ply company, is another of Aberdeen S
new business houses that in the short
space of time extending over two
months only, has built up business
that in volume is surpassed by few
in this section of the Snake river val
ley. Their stock which includes a
full line of general merchandise, is
exceptionally clean, and in the depart
ment devoted to wearing apparel,
everything is right up to the minute
in style. In no way is this store be-
hind it's city contemporaries. Albert
Pletz, recently of Everett, Washing
ton, and J. P. Wedel, formerly of
Kansas form the company. Both are
experienced business men. In speak
ing of Aberdeen and that section of
the Snake river valley surrounding
it, Mr.. Pletz says: 81 have travelled
all over Europe and the United States
but have never seen country that in
my estimation could compare with

tunities for money making here, but

cry is grand" So much for Idaho

THE HAMILTON MERCANTILE co.

The Hamilton Mercantile company
commenced business in Aberdeen
four years ago. 1t enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the pioneer business OF
this hustling little city, for when the
store was built midst the sagebrush
there was not another store within
many miles, and only three houses in
sight. Mr.. M. l.. Haines who is the
whole company, is most proud of the
fact, however, that when he opened
his store his stock represented an in
vestment of only $500, and today an
inventory of his stock would run
well over $4,000. This is surely a
striking example of the opportunities
that await the hustler in this progress
Sive country.
Groceries, dry goods, boots, shoes,
shelf hardware, notions mems furn-
ishings etc. comprise the stock car
ried in this store. AS result of the
arge volume of business done by this
firm, everything is fresh and strictly
up to the same high standard main
tanned in the large city stores.
Mr.. Haines is also postmaster, and
the post office is equipped with fix
lures of the very latest design, which
add very greatly to the appearance of
the store.
Mr.. Haines also owns quarter sec
ton of land, all under water, and
most of it under cultivation. AL
though a native of Indiana, one Of
the best states in the union, nothing
could induce this man to leave this
land of opportunity, for here he has
prospered, and he can still see greater
things in the future, for this is only
the beginning.

are handled by the company and all

The company is composed of T. j.

THE FUGATE LAND COMPANY

by P. A. Fugate, formerly of Hast
ings, Neb. The company does a gen.
eral real estate business, handling
town lots farm lands. Carey act
lands, and also does a fire and life
insurance business. This firm has
sold over $4,000 worth of Aberdeen
city lots, and the demand for these
very desirable lots appears to in
crease as the supply decreases.
With the advent of the railroad
this will doubtless become one of the
most important realty concerns in
the Upper Snake River Valley, for
with the railroad in operation there
will be a greater influx of homeseek-
ers to this beautiful country.

Germs in Aberdeen, as it has only been
established about two months. A
complete stock of building materials,
paints, oils, varnishes, roofing pap
ers, lime and cement is carried by
the company. Despite the fact that
the business was only recently es-
tablished it has assumed considerable
proportions and will doubtless play
an important part in the building
operations in this new section of the
Snake river valley. Mr.. George
Lechleiter has charge of the Aber-
deem branch, the headquarters being
located at American Falls.
