MANY STRIKE
GIVEN DISMISSAL
Attorney General Enters Order
Freeing 81 Defendants

Attorney General Fred Farrar this
week entered an order dismissing forty
three of the more than eighty indictments
pending against former coal strikers
and union officials in the courts of Las
Animas county, and as a result ninety
seven defendants are now Tree from
charges growing out of the coal strike.
The attorney general said he would
take up the Huerfano county cases later
The case against John r. Lawson,
which is pending in the State Supreme
Court, is not affected by the order.
Neither is the case wherein twenty-five
former strikers are charged with killing
Mine Guard Kassler 1T Forbes.
The indictments growing out OF Ere
mont county labor troubles have already
been dismissed.
The state gives many reasons Tor re-
uuesting the dismissal of the cases. In
ability of the counties to prosecute Tor
lack of finances is understood to be the
chief reason. Attorney General Farrar
also thinks it is to the best interest OF
the state that the less fragrant cases be
dismissed. He said there was no polit-
ical significance attached to the action
taken at this time with approval OF
Governor Carlson.
At Colorado Springs this week four
more coal strike cases were dismissed in
district court by Judge Lavender OF
Leadville. The four defendants were
William Diamond. w. M. Snyder, Gus
and John Winburg. They were charged
with killing Thomas w. Wheatley, an
AguiIar mine guard. John Horne Chiles,
assistant attorney general, moved ior
the dismissal of the cases.

In an editorial protesting the issuing
of injunctions by the courts against la
Dor, the Detroit Evening News has this
to say: "There is no reason for an in
junction TO issue where workingmen are
striking in q lawful manner. If the
right of protest is TO be denied the work
man, we are on the road TO high Prus-
sianism, which is the very antithesis Of
American liberty. They tinjunctions),
should cover only lawless acts. Injunc-
tions have been known in Detroit which
have shut off whole districts in which
strikers were not allowed TO walk with
their families. Such injunctions bring
the law into contempt; they are an arbi-
trary and spiteful use of power"

Me Optimistic
Philosopher

T 7 UGH MAGUIRE of the Denver
Stereotypers and Electrotypers
Union has bright idea. He
= wants the bathing beaches at
Washington and Berkeley parks to be
electric-lighted at nights so that the day
toilers may have an opportunity to go
i'll swimming during the summer months.
Hugh contends. with much truth, that
with exception of Sundays and holidays,
these beaches are maintained chiefly
for benefit of the idle rich and the Indus
trial Wonder Waits who never work.
Then, again, with equal logic, he says
the electric lights could be utilized in
winter months for the real city builders
who want to go ice skating nights. And
why not Under present regulations the
beaches are closed to the public at sun
down. Same way with the ice skating
in winter "They should be kept open
until 10 o'clock at night" said Hugh to
the o. P. this week. Those of us" he
continued. "who are compelled to work
during the day never get chance to en-
Joy the beaches in summer, nor the skat-
ing in winter. TIL city should hang
Joy the beaches over these lakes and give
us a swim and a skate for our taxes.
l am going to bring the matter to atten-
tion OF the Trades and Labor Assembly,
and see if the city authorities can't be
induced to throw some light on the
water"

There are. however, some redeeming
qualities to be fathomed among resi-
dents of Wyoming. President Harry Fox
OF the State Federati ton of Labor has un-
dertaken to present the noblest elk head
that ever graced the shoulders of that

adorn the new headquarters OF the
American Federation of Labor in Wash

The one fact most apparent from
the shattered returns that have been
received IN Helena from state points
is that Charles n. Pray has defeat
John n. Edwards for the republican
nomination for United States sen
ator.
In Lewis and Clark county 25 pre-
alnets, including practically every
precinct in the city Of Helena, give
FRAY majority Of about three tC
one es.ss,ps1 Edwards. Advices from
Great Falls are that Pray is beating
Edwards in Cascade county by seven
Missoula declare that Pray will beat
iEa"ards there by a substantial ma
lority and the same is true in Butt g.
What few returns have been re-
ceived from eastern Montana are ia
Vorable to Edwards. At Libby in
fiathead county Pray defeated Ed
wards by more than three to one.
and this is taken as an indication
of what other northwestern pre-
cincts will report.
In the congressional race on the
republican ticket, what meagre re-
ports are available from widely scat
tered precincts, and telephone ad-
vice, indicate that Rankin, Linder-
man and Farr are leading in the or
der named. This is as stated, is true
in Helena, Butte, Great Falls and
Missoula.
In the gubernational contest avail
able figures favor Edwards, Galen
and Cooney in the order named.
These figures, however, contain
nothing from northern Montana,
where it is understood Cooney is
making rapid gains. Edwards has
carried Lewis and Clark county by a
substantial majority, is leading in
Butte and will carry Missoula by
25O majority. according to telephone
advices received at a late hour this
afternoon.
From Great Falls comes the re-
port that Cooney has carried Cas-
cade and other northern Montana
counties by wide margin, but fig
ures are unavailable From eastern
Montana come reports favorable to
various candidates, but sufficient
have not been received to be of value
i'll the computation of the totals.
Returns from SO precincts, includ-
ing rs fro mLewis and Clark county,
and others scattered over eastern
and western Montana, including,
however, practically no returns from
the northern part of the state nor
from Great Falls, Missoula or Butte
show the standing of republican can
didates for senator, governor and
congressman to be as follows:
senator-Pray, 2,O26; Edwards,
/ 253.
Congress-Brennen, $40; Farr,
1869; Linderman, 1,94S; Rankin,

and Miss Mile Caves, attended the
summer school at Glasgow and took
the examinations for teachers Ger
tifcate. These two young ladies.
with Miss Mildred Wilson, make
three teachers which the home high
school has given to the county in the
past two years. So far as possible
the high school course will be ar
ranged so that it will prepare the
student for the work in the rural
school, 1t is but matter of time
before a teachers training course
must be added to the local school
1t appears that the children, who
attended the public school, are des
tined to wade through mud for an
other year. Three blocks of side
walk are needed to connect the walk
already constructed, with the school
walk. We have waited patiently to
see what would be done this sum-
mer But we are on the eve of the
opening Of school and not thing
has been done. 1t is not the pleas
ure Of the writer of this article to be
under necessity of protesting against
conditions, but this is matter
which affects the health and comfort
or aUO people, most OF whom arc
small children. 1t matters not,
whose duty it is to construct these
walks, or to see that they are con-
structed, the fact remains that it is
a shame that they have been left un-
built SO long. We have heard a lot
about what fine town Malta is and
the writer believes it, but are we go
ing to have the name without the
game? Are you willing to have the
reputation for being a hustling lit
tie city, with big amount of trade
going on within your marts, and let
your children wade through water
and mud to their shoe tops and
sometimes half way to thcir knees
to attend school? It's somebody's
duty to attend to this matter and
who ever is can prove his right to
be called a good citizen by getting
busy.

UTTER LOSES IN
THE ENTIRE DISTRICT

The election returns from the
Seventeenth Judicial District shows
John Hurry, republican candidate
for Judge, in the lead over Judge
Utter with an overwhelming ma jor-
ity. In Phillips county Hurly's ma
jority will amount to something like
seven hundred, Valley county in the
neighborhood of five hundred while
Sheridan county, which was Utter's
stronghold, will give Hurry ma
jority Of about three hundred.
Only one polling place in Phillips
SO far reporting gives Utter a ma
jority and this was but a majority of
two. The fight made throughout
the district against Judge Utter has
been based on facts and his court
record and we are proud Of the vot-
ers of the district in their selection
of John Hurley as their candidate
for the important position of Judge
of the Seventeenth Judicial District.
