Citizens Join Employees to
Combat |. w. w. Forces

erings of local agitation on the part
of the disturbers but little uneasiness
is felt. The authorities have the sit
uation well In hand and the first at
tempt to cause trouble will be cherc-
ed. Never before in the history of
this section of the country have the
citizens In general been so prosperous
and happy as they are today. The
regular workingmen are satisfied
with conditions. The recent advance
in wages granted by the companies
has put the scale of wages on a high
plane and any effort on the part of
those disturbers who devote their en-
tire time and what little energy they
have to tear donw what respectable
men have built up will be met by all
good citizens acting in unison.
The agitators will find but very few
sympathizers in this district and those
who do not want to live and let live
will be given ample opportunity to
leave this section. s~
1t is reported that In some sections
threats have ben made by the agita-
tors that they would extend their ma
licious operations to point where it
would ruin our farms and thereby cut
off our food supply. bringing starva-
tion and ruin to our country. Such a
threat Is Of course idle on its face and
an insult to the bravery OF our people.
1t is to be hoped that the agitation
will not extend to this district. but II
1t does. upon its first appearance It
will become the duty Of every good
citizen to aid our officers In driving
from our midst every coward who
may dare raise his voice to start dis.
turbance.

JOKESA|DT DTOHAVE.
R|LED RED MEN

Report was received by Sheriff Nc
Lean fram the eitizens Of Bakerdur-
ing the week that the Indians of the
Deep Creek section were on the war
path, and It was feared by some that
at least a portion OF the tribe might
swoop down upon the citizens OF
Baker. Sheriff Mclean when notified
by telephone took immediate action
In the matter and while the trouble
was said to be over the Utah line the
Sheriff of White Pine county assured
all the citizens of the Baker section
that they would be given ample pro-
lection. Word was telephoned to
Sheriff D. s. Dorrity of Millard county
and that Official was on the scene last
night. Late reports are to the effect
that the trouble has been checked.
It appears that the threatened out
break was perhaps the result of some
SO called joker who went to the sec
ton where the Indians were camped
and told them that he was going to
take couple of their young Bucks"
Ito the war. The Indians evidently
took the view that IL they were going
to have war there was no need of go
Ing to Germany and proceeded to ar
range for skirmish at home. Since
they have been given proper under
standing OF the situation and are now
Gained down It Is hoped no further
] trouble win develop.

WILLIAM BACON HELD
ON MURDER CHARGE

VIM. Bacon was given preliminary
hearing before Justice Collins last
Monday on n charge of having shot
Win" Partridge and inflicted a
wound from which Partridge died q
few days later in-the County hospital.
There was but one eye witness to
the shooting which occurred near Osc-
cola. John Flynn had been In CON-
pany with Partridge and Bacon during
the day and the party had previously
visited Baker and Garrison, Utah,
where they had been drinking CON
siderable. According to the testimony
of Flynn when the party returned to
Partridge's cabin in the mountains
about seven o'clock at night he left
the two men at the cabin and walked
down the road. When returning he
heard a shot fred and coming up
found Partridge on the ground with
the bullet wound in his leg He asid
that Bacon was standing at the cabin
door with rifle in his hand. Flynn
succeeded in getting Partridge In a
wagon and drove him to the Dearing
ranch from where he was taken to
Garrison, Utah. for medical treatment.
Bacon was represented by Counsellor
C. A. Eddy, and did not elect to put
in defense at the preliminary hear
ing. He will. In all probability. be
tried before Judge McFadden and a
jury at the Fall term Of the District
Court.

According to the plan as made
public by Secretary of War Baker
last Thursday, every man in the
United States of the 100000 who
have registered will be drafted. This
does not mean that all men will be
sent to the front, but the drawing
Which will commence in all proba-
bility next Wednesday will simply
determine which will be first called
to the colors. There will be 1.000.-
900 of these men and of course there
will be exemptions on account of
physical disability. If there is not
IL sufficient number then to supply
the 100000 to fill the ranks of the
regulars and national guard units
more drawings will be made.
The county clerks office has been
a busy place during the past week,
and Clerk Oldfeld, with the volun-
tary assistance which has been given
him has been able to get all his rec
ords In shape and the cards have

quired by the department and for
