has been worked on the Mesaba
range in a long time" said Hib-
bing man in Duluth recently, "was
the sharp trick some fellows played
on the men who struck on the strip
| ping work at the Leonard and Mon
roe-Tener mines last fall. The strik-
ers heard that the sheriff was going
to send up some deputies to pre-
serve order and they were much dis
turbed. This gave an idea to a
couple of chaps. They went to some
of the more turbulent of the s,rik-

know how many were taken at this
price, but ! know that quite num-
Der were purchased by the strikers.

the documents would be an absolute
protection against interference bv
the sheriff. and they could make all
the disturbance they wished. l pre-
sumo those licenses could be bought
at discount now
