into the mines and into the mills. You
never deal with the president Of the

the directors by sight, You only know
that by hundreds OF thousands. you
are employed by the agent of an In
visible employer. Therefore. when
ever bodies of men employ bodies OF
men, IT ceases to be q private rela :

State held that working men could
not peaceably dissuade other working
men from taking employment, they
simply showed that their mtnds and

age. which had passed away two or
three generations ago.

ESCAPES FR|GHTFUL DEATH
 KERN CASTLE DESTROYED

Charles Nye was also an eN- teusive loser by the fire, Not only did he lose a large amount of wood and standing timber, but he came near losing his life. In at tempting to protect the water pipes which supply water to his min, he went 10 the head of the Hume to shut orf the water which would en- able him to repair break lower down. While he was up there the fire burned in behind him cut ting off all possibility of returning. He was surrounded by a raging fire which was rapidly closing in on him. bringing apparent death.
 Fortunately he reached a bridge where the defenders of the castle had installed a short water pipe for the purpose Of protecting it. The water was running over the bridge from this pipe and NIT. Wye took this only chance to save his life. He got under the bridge and continually played the water over it and himself for four hours until the fire had passed on.
 Nr. Yves long absence had been noted and word came to the citizens Of Skagway that he was cut off by the fire, and volunteers for his relief were called for. The fire bell was ruug and soon dozens Of citizens responded. Soon after their arrival on the scene, Mr. Nye appeared. having escaped after the fire had passed and walking by a round about way had returned to his mill. Here the fire was threatening the destruction Of his mill buildings but a large force or men were working in an effort to save them.
 The fire now has burned way to the north and a slight rain last ulcht has Qucnchcd some ot the smaller blazes and unless the wind changes there win probably be no more damage to property near here.
