If Immortality is a splendid but delu-

highly nervous temperament can
hardly understand the beautiful seren-

upon plateau high above his fell

seemed to live like one with his head
above the clouds, but with his feet

800 remained at work
Because of threatened violence,
Sheriff Hill swore in twenty deputies.
This morning one of the cars carrying
men to work at the plant was stopped
by strikers, who demanded the men
cease work. One Of the DEPUTY sher-
ifs guarding the car is said to have
drawn a gun and advised the strikers
pickets to stay away from the car.
The pickets started to board the car.
There was a shot and William Gar
cia, striker, was wounded.
