Mickle murder, when I said he was
trying to sell monkey wrench.
When he saw me last night he knock

George struck me once or twice"
The story OF the two brothers was
vastly different.
Nobody could have assaulted him, "
Joseph said. He ran so 1t would
have taken a professional Splinter to
catch him. 1 saw somebody ahead
Of me, whirled around and started to
run at top speed. ! didn't know who
he was and didn't follow him step,

Charles Miller, former member Of the

powerful organization. 1t has over
300 900 members. and Is organized in the
bulk of the States Of the Union. Mr..
Miller says the fight has taken on some
political phases, as 1t was almost GER
tain to do.

Congress will be loathe to take up this
