The basket OF the balloon carried
sandwiches and coffee sufficient for
about two days. The record for keeping

than eighty striking miners who have
been evicted from homes owned by coal
companies In this region have appealed
their cases to the Circuit Court from
the minor courts within the last two
days. This developed to-day when clerks
