Sheriff's deputies and company men
| Strikers have been arrested by the
hundred and thrown into jail on
trumped up charges. Picketing was
absolutely suppressed, and Finnish
Socialists were thrown out Of their
OWL halls and refused the right OF
lawful assembly. A steel corporation
gunman named King, employed by the
Duluth, Missabe & Northern railroad,
steel trust subsidiary, became so
offensive and shameless in his efforts
to start trouble at Hibbing that he
was ordered out of the district by
Sheriff Meining himself.
Mayor Powers Story. ~.
Mayor Victor Power of Hibbing, a
city of $4,000 on the iron range,
pouches for the following:
Two of the toughest looking char
acters he ever saw appeared at the
door of his Office and asked where
the jail was. They said they wanted
flop, meaning place to sleep. He
asked them what they were come for,
and they replied that they had just
arrived from Duluth to act as depu-
ties. He demanded their credentials,
and, according to Mayor Power, they
produced letter from Chief of Police
McKercher of Duluth to the superin-
tendent of mining company controll-
ed by the steel corporation, which
said, in substance: I am sending you
these two men for the work we talked
about. Let me know if they do not
do it satisfactorily, as have some

with it's inception; Of how the Duluth
newspapers, subservient to the COM

to disregard every legal constitutional

the authorities responded. 1t is a
story Of tyrannical abuse, cruelty and
persecution involving a hundred cases

Public spirited members of the Ma.

alizing the need in this community for
a meteorological laboratory wherein
typhoid, diphtheria and other danger.
Gus diseases may be traced to then
souce and their spread prevented,
have quietly and without asking any.
one for help gone about providing such
i laboratory.
As a result Of their activities there
was installed in Cook Hospital this
week complete meteorological lab.
oratory. The cost Of the equipment is
nearly $1,000 and It includes all man.
ner of apparatus with q refrigerator,
ster. iizers.. microscope, delicate anal
yt.cal balance, various kinds of culture
media and reagents. Most any kind
OF work may be done in this labora-
tory from the simple analysis Of milk
or water to the Vidal examination for
typhoid or Wasserman reaction for the
detection Of specific infection. Diph-
iberia swabs may be examined or
blood counts made. Already this week
reports have been made on swabs Of
suspected diphtheria cases and any
physician In the county may have work
done by leaving It at the hospital.
& Other improvements recently In the
Cook hospital are the complete reno.
walton Of practically all Of the rooms
and wards. These have been re.paint.
ed and cleaned thoroughly. In addi-
ton to the meteorological laboratory
1t is now planned to provide COM
plete 'X.Ray equipment for the hos
pital. This will likely cost several
thousand dollars, but according to the
physicians Is badly needed.
The physicians In charge OF the lab.
oratory at the hospital will likely Of
fer the use of It to the city for the
purpose Of milk and water inspection.
While no official offer has as yet been
made 1t is the intention to confer the
city officials and Is thought that some
arrangements may be made whereby
the city scientists can do their work
In this laboratory.
The addition Of Babcock machine
for determining the amount of butter
fat in milk would be all that is nee
essary to provide the new laboratory
with adequate facilities for inspection
OF the city milk supply that Is now pro.
vided for on the Ordinance books Of
the city.
Just what sort Of offer the Marion
County Medical society will make to
the Board of Affairs in regard to US.
ing the laboratory for the Milk and
Water Inspection has not been decid.
ed as yet, but all Of the physicians In
this association are insistent that
Fairmont should have. frequent milk
inspection and daily water. inspection.
It is practically certain that the Board
OF Affairs will include ample provision
and funds for this work in the budget
for next year which will be made up
beginning July l, for the next fiscal
year.

quest that the American commander

The American troops Immediately
moved forward and attacked General

"All the prisoners admitted all the
blame should be put on the American
commander for having ordered the
attack. The prisoners were sent to

protection"
General Gonzales said that the re-
port Of the engagement was made to
him by Lieutenant.C Colonel Geneveso
Rivas. who succeeded to the command
Of the carranba troops with the fall
Of General Gomez.
General George Bell, Jr., who was
first informed of the fight by Mexican
Consul Garcia, said that no military
action would be taken in Ell Paso while
orders were awaited from General
Funston. In the meantime, he said,
his forces were ready for any. dem.
onstration from the other side OF the
