for you," promised an independent
crew whom John Hart hired here aft
er his I. w. w. gang had struck. And
they did. They began digging the
moment they sandwiched themselves
between the blankets and quilts which
Mr.. Hart had purchased new for his
last crew, and they dug and scratched
and cursed all through the long night.
The next morning they told Hart
something was wrong with his bloom
ing blankets. Hart investigated, and
discovered that the l. w. w. before
quitting the premises had saturated
all. the bed covering in the bunk
house with condensed lye. Wherever
it struck a bit Of bare skin it burned.
This particular bunch of L. w. w.
was an enterprising lot. New blankets
and quilts constituted their first de-
mand after getting on the job. Hart
complied with, tEeir wishes. The fol-
lowing day they presented a menu,
inciuding many almost un0btainable
dainties, which they declared must be
served them, When Hart informed
them, it couldn't be done they quit,
and they did their best to make the
nights hideous for their successors.

stopped off en- route to California to-

The colonel, as a young commission
