MANY INJURED BY
FLYING MISSILES
Rloting In Connection With Du-
Iuth Street Gar Strike.

Duluth, Sept, 12.-Serious rioting
has occurred in connection with the
strike of street railway employees. Few
cars are running and most citizens
prefer to walk rather than risk injury
at the hands of strikers and sympa-
thizers.
Once during the night the mob got
beyond the control of the police and
aid was asked from the sheriff. Riot
ers bombarded the cars, attacked the
car barn with rocks and planks and
fought with the police.
After nightfall, owing to the vio-
lence shown by the mob, the company
decided to abandon car service. Dur
ing the melees many were injured by
missiles thrown by the rioters, Man
ager Warren of the car company being
felled with a stone. His condition is
not serious. Stones crashing through
car windows in all sections of the
city made riding dangerous.
The carmen on the Superior (Wis)
lines have voted to join the strike
The Duluth Merchants association
has asked for arbitration of the strike
Action has not been taken in this con-
nection.
Chief Troyer of the Duluth police
department and Manager Warren of
the street railway company announced
that If there Is a recurrence of the
disorders state troops would be asked
for.

Its rather bad weather for having a car out-the snow still being on the roads," Then Harry started across the bridge when of a sudden he beheld two men coming out fof some brush down stream. They had not seen Harry, and as he did not like their appearance. he dropped silently beside the big can.
 The men approached the car and when quite close to it, one of them said: Hell be back soon. Then we'll hold him up. He's the kind that always carries a good-sized roll about with him. But-we'd better hide in that thicket wonder. and when we see him coming, we'll get the drop on him"
 Then the two men hurried to a elump of underbrush where they se- creted themselves. waiting for the re turn of the owner of the car.
 Harry had overheard every word the two highwaymen said. and knew that unless he found the doctor and warned him he would fall a victim to the robbers. He turned about. still lying fiat on the ground. followed the tracks in the snow with his eyes. Yes, he could creep along after them, and not be seen by the two highwaymen for the great touring car stood be- tween the double row of tracks and the hiding place of the men and would serve as a screen to hide Harry's movements so long as he remained low to the earth. As the tracks ran over the nearby bank and were there lost in a thicket of brush Harry

Well. we-you and I will show them a trick or two or we're not the men we take ourselves to be. - Hereupon the doctor chuckled merri- ly, skipping Harry on the shoulder. But he was cautious enough to hold his voice very low. Now" he went on, you run over to town and bring the constable. I'll wait here behind these bushes for you. It's half mile, my boy, but you'll cover the ground quickly.

 Harry did not need a second bid- ding. Te had dropped his basket beside the auto, and had nothing to burden himself with.

Harry was told to keep safe distance off. the doctor and constable fearing there might be some stray shots exchanged. Harry was obliged to consent, though he much preferred to accompany the party. The doctor. gun over his shoulder went whistling 10 his car, just as though nothing unusual was about to happen to him. He first placed his gun inside the auto. then tossed in the two squirrels. Then, just as he was about to etep into the drivers place in the auto a quick command really startled him, although he was expecting it. Halt Hands up, or you're a dead man." So came the com mand.
 The doctor obeyed. and remained standing on the ground. Two dark visaged men appeared from behind 0 clump of bushes. each holding q cooked revolver In his hand. aiming at the doctor. The two men advanced to within two steps of their victim and ono of them put his revolver in his pocket and proceeded to examine the doctors pockets while the other remained with his gun close to the doctors head.
 Just as the searching man was lifting the doctors watch from his pocket q sharp command rang out on the still air. Hands up or you're both dead men! It's an officer of the law who commands you."
 The man with the gun was about to shoot the doctor, but his confederate struck the gun from his hand, saying gruffiy: Don't be fool, Jim. Hands up." Then up went the hands of both men, for the constable and young Adams were directly behind them, their guns agains. their heads.
 It did not take the constable long to get handcuffs on the two despera~ dos. and to put one of them into the doctors auto while the other was placed in the car belonging to young Adams. Of course the men were dis armed, and were kept closely watch cd by their captors. the doctor play ing deputy in his own car.

 Tn our hosts house the usual prep arations were also in full swing. our hostess, syerdrup, and Dietrichson had long been busy making bags and bas- kets and other reeeptaeles, while the Superintendent himself was at work upon Christmas tree, which he con strueted by fastening branches of Greenland juniper into piece of wood which did duty for stem.
 On the morning of Christmas Eve this tree was dressed. At two o'clock there was grand ceremony in the church. The children were to be catechised, and no Eskimo could fall to be present As soon as this was over the children, in accordance with old custom, rushed across to tho Superintendent to receive each his bag of figs. These they carried home, and then they presented themselves at our rooms to receive another supply. There was a regular stampede of all these little skin-elad creatures. All who could walk came by themselves. and those who were too young were carried by their mothers.
 At five o'clock there was choral service in the church. Hymns writ ten in or translated into Eskimo were sung by a large choir of natives. The performance impressed one by it's charm of simplicity, and the melodies were fresh and cheerful. After sup per at the Superintendents, to which we were all invited, the tree was lighted and general excitement pre- vailed.
 "On Christmas morning. about six o'clock, just as 1 was sleeping my sweetest and fancylng myself back home. the songs of children were sud denly waited through the air and took their place in my wandering dreams. The sound grew louder. md l awoke to hear the enrolling of a large choir in the passage outside my door. They had been singing at the Eskimo houses all night long, and had now come. faithful to tradition. to wake tho Europeans of the place. I allow that the custom is charming. and that I had never been wakened in so pleasant a manner before, but I must add that when the strains had ceased. and the choir departed to sing at other doors. I gently dozed off again to pick up the lost thread of my inter rupted dream"

knew he would be safe to get to his fec. and run with all his might after dropping below the level of the bank.
 He lost no time in following out his quickly -devised plan, and within a few minutes was running along beside the frozen brook, ducking under the low-hanging tree branches and swing ing vines. He was careful to follow the mans tracks in the snow, feeling quite nure that the doctor would re- turn by the way he went.
 Harry's conjecture was correct. for after having covered the eighth of a mile, he saw a dark form loom up in the woods ahead of him. Then the doctor swung into view, gun over shoulder and two squirrels dangling from his left hand.
 Harry held up a warning finger and placed another finger on his lips as a token of silence; then he ran to meet the doctor who showed some surprise at the boys strange conduct. But after Harry had told him in very low tones about the highwaymen who were lying in wait for him, the doctor

 "Yes, ana it's only a quarter, and you'd expected to spend a dollar at the least on Ned. See, my dear, you'll get out on your three dollars, and maybe have car fare left" And Oracle smiled gaily. T knew 1t could be done" she added.
 Then came gift for Minna's aunt who lived with them. A handker- chief box. daintily covered with satin in rose bud design, was selected. It was got for fifty cents and Minna could scarcely believe that she had bought four presents and still had a dollar left.
 Now for kittie and Jessie Lin- coln," Minna said. "I have a dollar to spend for three presents. Here I'll look over this stationery, for they just love pretty writing material" She chose two boxes of bird's-egg- blue stationery for her two friends, and paid fifty cents for them, having half dollar left. This she adroitly put into her purse, for she intended se- cretly to get something to send on Christmas 10 her very best friend, Oracle DeLeon.
 That's all," she said. stacking up her bundles and boxes before the wrapper at the accommodation desk. Now I'll go home light-hearted and happy. Oracle, dearest, never shall again think that the greatest pleas ure lies in paying out lot of money for few gifts. for I have discovered that the best thlngs-the useful things, such as I got this afternoon can be had at reasonable prices. have a nice lot of little gifts, and though they are all inexpensive I know they will just fill the bill, and please those to whom l shall give them. And won't Mamma be glad when tell her that I managed to re- member all those on my gift-list. and that I am no longer discontented ? Poor Mamma, she felt so sorry not to be able to save out of her allowance more than three dollars for me-"
 There's nothing so sweet as con tentment," replied Oracle. Money is not the greatest pleasure-giver on earth. dear. And I am glad you have found out the secret to real enjoyment. Today has opened the way for you"
 And the two little girls went along the street, laden with Minna's gifts all save one, which Minna would buy on the morrow for her very best chum, Oracle.
