Big Turkey Hunt

w. j. Burris and Hammond
Richardson had a most thrilling
Christmas hunt when they broke
into a big drove of turkeys near
Clifton Wednesday and killed
four of them. 1t is reported
that they completely lost their
heads at this exciting period, Mr.
Bnrris throwing down both gun
and hat, and rushing forward
to be sure that none of the Grip
pied birds should escape, while
Mr.. Richardson excitedly broug-
hit forth every argument posi-.
BILE to prove that be killed two
of the turkeys. Their joy how
ever was short lived as their ex-
citing cries brought a young lad
running to scene and he doIefully
informed the hunters that they
had slaughtered Mrs, Haley's
tame turkeys.
It is said that Mr.. Richardson
sanely realized by this time how
impossible it was for him to have
killed two turkeys at one shot,
and in fact it seemed for IL bit
quite impossible to establish
ownership of the dead turkeys,
but the matter was finally adjus-
ted to the complete satisfaction
of all concerned and severa tur-
key dinners were enjoyed the
next day even tho they were not
wild turkeys.

POT CALLS THE
KETTLE BLACK.

Here is a little story that was
handed us the other day that
throws different light on the scab
question. 1t was told that couple
of strikebreakers quit or were dis
charged and landed in a north
Third street saloon where they pro-
ceeded to fill up on JOY water. Af-
ter while one of the Hamilton
moldefs who is staying on the job,
without the consent of the union,
entered the place accompanied by
one OF the bosses. Upon sighting
him, so the story goes, one of the
strikebreakers walked up to him
and shaking his finger under his
nose said ! You are nothing but
cheap low do n-scab. I'lu a
strikebreaker but along side of you
| m a gentleman / am doing this
kind of work because of the big
money that IS In 1t but you-you
are nothing but g-d--scab Any
one who would scab in his own
home town is lower than the thing
that crawls | wouldn't do it to
save my life Can you beat ii?
Here is strikebreaker who hasn t
any respect for one who scabs. Is
1t possible that we owe the strike
breaker an apology?

There is no change in the situa-

there have been many rumors

gotiations were on looking to a set
Element of this strike, it seems
that there Is nothing to it. 1t Is
said, however, that there are fewer
strikebreakers working now than
there was several weeks ago. 1t Is
also said that much of the work
done by these strikebreakers is
worthless, that many of the cast
ings turned out by them go to the
scrap heap.
