Death, the last visitor to humanity,
has again reaped his harvest and
claimed one OF our best known and
most highly esteemed citizens In the
full flush OF manhood. Last Sunday
evening at $3.50 John Custer passed
away at the family residence after an
illness of Just week. On the 18th
he visited his ranch in the Box xSprinRs
district and while returning was
seized with an attack OF acute indi-
gestiun, which last Sunday morning
developed into peritonitis. and the
end came as indicated above. Death
Is at best calamity. but much more
SO when one is taken from this world
at time when ones powers are AZ
high food and he is able to do his best
work and be OF the greatest beneht 70

looks as though she would make

There are now about fifteen carloads
of baled alfalfa standing in the fields.
What is the matter with the hay mar
ket? We have always advocated the
feeding of more, stock by our farmers.
Stick to the old COW and the old SOW !;
they are the real mortgage lifters.
A. Snodgrass delivered his crop of
beans at OIpey Springs last Monday.
The price is low, only 2 cents per

REPORTS or RENEWAL OF
TROUBLE IN GREEK DISTRICT

Charleston. June l6.---Rumors OF
war from mining camps In the Paint
Creek and Cabin Creek district today
came To Charleston where the Senate
mine investigating committee was In
session. only the most meagre In
formation was available here but re-
ports from the hills that Cabin creek
miners In part at least had renewed
the strike and the Paint creek work
ers were considering quitting work
again. II was definitely established
that three miners meetings were
held in the district yesterday. Two
on Cabin creek were reported to have
voted not to return 10 work today. II
was stated. however. that the men
who had failed 10 go into the mines
this morning were few IN number and
that the disturbance was not serious.
one meeting was held on Paint creek
and Il was reported that no definite
action was taken. report OF the
Paint Creek operators declared today
that SO per cent Of their men were
al work.
II was generally accepted that no
serious outbreak occurred but there
was considerable anxiety over the re-
suit the renewal of the trouble IN the
regions might have on the New River
district a few miles away where To-
goo men have been considering a
strike order. A miners convention
had been planned at New River this
week and II was feared that the trou-
bile In the creeks would precipitate
general walkout. The union Off
cialp here say that they have same
toned no strike order Ia the creeks.
The committee today continued the
taking of a vast amount OF testimony
mostly OF routine chara 9teI, as To
conditions In the fields before the
strikes began. A score OF miners tes-
titled that the trouble vas caused ny
the activities OF mine guards. Eliza
beth Fish, i9-year.oli girl, describ-
ed how party Of guards had forced
her and another girl 20 wade cabin
