The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-03-10

An hour passed-an hour freighteo
with frightful portent for the actors
in the tragedy Of toll and tyranny
that is rapidly nearing its final cur
tain. In that hour Laura had found
her father, and with arms around his
neck had begged him to have mercy.
you must take pity on your poor
toilers, father" she had pleaded, and
he had laughingly put her OF. In
that hour Mrs. Shand had stormed the
meeting of the strikers In the vacant
lot and had, in an impassioned plea
Of crude eloquence, dashed them into
a fury for revenge In that hour Karl
Hurd, VOW for vengeance in his soul
had left the body Of his dead wife and
gone to join the maddened strikers.
Though he did not yet realize it.
David Powers, for the first time in
his life, had reached point where
events were getting beyond his con
troll. A higher hand than his was deal
ing the cards. Fate had taken part in
the game. And SO 1t happened at the
very moment that his daughter Laura
had decided to slip from the house
and go down herself and help the
stricken families of her fathers en-
ployees, the strikers themselves had
decided to hold up her fathers auto
and give him the beating up they felt
he so richly deserved.
Skillfully Shand disposed his forces
at point of vantage in turn of the
road just beyond the Powers man
sion. The men were armed with clubs
and at point in the boulevard where
they were hidden until the auto was
almost upon them, logs were thrown
across the highway. Hurd volun
teered to act as lookout, and Shand
not knowing that the half-crazed and
sorely stricken man had craftily stolen
the revolver from his own side pocket
accepted his services. go up near
the gate and signal us when the auto
starts!" were his final instructions
And so the stage was set.
Slowly the limousine drew out from
the Powers estate. The millionaire
had drawn the shades to protect him
self from the insults and gibes Of his
men on the streets and Laura had no,
bothered to raise them. Out on to the
road the machine swung and had jus,
gathered full momentum when the
chauffeur's heart was turned to stone
by the orange tongue of flame thai

tree, by the ringing shot Of well
aimed gun, by the crash of glass ir
the body Of the car behind him, and by
the mad maniacal peal of laughter
that echoed wildly through the after
noon air. AS he brought the auto into
a quick turn he caught one glimpse al
a pair of strangely staring, unhal
lowed eyes that peered at him from
behind the trunk of the grand old tree
at the roadside.

DOLLARS AND THE AUTO.

More money was spent in Josephine
county for gasoline during the past
year than all the banks OF the county
have actual cash on hand right now.
The firm Of which John D. is head
marked up to itself for sale of gaso-
line through its Josephine county
agency ninety-five thousand dollars.
This means that approximately as
much money was paid into the Golfers
Of the Standard Oil through Jose
phine county as is required of Cres-
cent City to guarantee the building
of the harbor there. These receipts
include, however, the gasoline for
Roseburg and Crescent City, which is
bought through this place. Tourists
also purchase large quantities OF
gasoline here during the summer sea-
son. Jackson county was shown to
have taken gasoline to the cost OF
$125,000, and the figure with auto
supplies included went up to $780,
900. 1t has been further estimated
that in Josephine county some forty
thousands of dollars were last year
spent for automobiles. From these
figures it is patent that the grand
total of money spent in the two coun.
ties during the past year for auto
mobiles, auto supplies and gasoline
would be more than enough to make
a first-class harbor at Crescent City
or to build and equip couple OF beet
sugar factories, or construct a rail-
road to the Illinois valley. But why
speculate? IT'S going to be done all
over again this year, for the automo-
bile has become about as essential to
human happiness and Industrial pro-
gress as the sun that shines in the
heavens.
