LABOR Trouble AND SHORTAGE
OF MATERIAL STOP WORK
ON DAM

Work on the dam has been suspend
ed temporarily due to labor trouble
and On account of shortage of ma
terial. The shovelers on Tuesday de.
manded an increase of so cents a day.
Work had begun that morning on a
piece of concrete work which required
about seven hours time to complete
and they were asked to continue work
SO that the job would not be spoiled
but they refused to do 80 before be-
ing granted the increase. The car
penters at work on the dam were then
asked to help finish this piece Of con-
crete work but they also refused.
The trouble is said to have started
as a result of the shovelers being paid
50 cents day more while working in
a wet place and the original wage scale
resumed when this was done.

LINCOLN MYSTERY FIND FALSE
ALARM.

What was thought might result in
the untanging of the mystery sur.
rounding the disappearance Of q man
from Lincoln several years ago follow
ing the finding of some clothing in
the ground there by persons who were
planting trees on Thursday Of last
week, came to naught when officials
from Long Prairie made an investiga-
ton and failed to find anything but
the clothing.
The persons who found tho clothing
were newcomers at Lincoln and were
improving their property by planting
trees. When they found the clothing,
consisting of coat, hat, trousers and
one shoe, the county Officials at Long
Prairie were notified and an investi-
cation was made. In the meantime it
was thought that the find might pos
ssib}y have sbeen ,the 7,remains Of a man
who disappeared from Lincoln several
years ago. He was last seen getting
off the train coming from Little Falls
and nothing was ever heard Of him
after that.
