YOUNG MINERS STORY.

Here is the story Joe Ptasienski, TWEEN
ty-one- year-old miner strike told it; 81
had been working in the mines five years. It
was the worst thing ever saw | saw women
knocked down and bleeding and crying for
help. They were hurt and couldn't get up,
and if anybody stopped to help, the police
would club them down too. | saw boy about
seven or eight years old ridden down by
horse. His neck was all bloody and they pick
ed him up and threw him in truck. don't
know where they took him."
The cops we're not satisfied. Many of them
dismounted, ran down the lanes and beat all
whom they encountered. One of these police
men, John j. Downey, was especially fiendish
in his brutality. Staggering down the street,
he took swipes with his club at anybody who
passed. a shot rang out and Downey dropped
to the ground.
Two years afterward June, 1929 the cops
came to Staten Island, New York and ar
rested Salvatore Accors 34-year-old miner.

THE state police rode wild at CheswicE the
afternoon of the day capitalism burned Sac
and Vanzetti on the electric chair The
darkest days'of Czarist Russia had nothing on
Cheswick. A crowd of 5000 miners, with
frightened belts (t was in the midst of the
coal strike) came with their wives and children
to a mass meeting on the Gajda farm. They
wanted to hear why two of their fellow work
ers, Sacco and Vanzetti were being burned
to death at midnight that night. They wanted
to stay the blue-veined hands itching to pull
the switch. They were part of the hundred

iegheny County too had taken his orders The
crowd was standing peacefully and listening
TO the opening words of the chairman, when
Lieutenant Martin of the State Police mounted
the platform. He ordered the meeting stopped

The miners were accustomed to meet on this
farm Besides had they not held Sacco-Van-

The three Texas rangers trap ping this side of Hurricane Gulch did not catch many skins up to Christmas and one of them quit in disgust leaving his other two pals to stick it out. Jim Herdman and his nephew, John McNamara, are trapping on Ohio Creek five miles from Hur- ricane station and report catch ing only few skins before Christ mas. Jim's dogs ran away from him the forepart of December and went down to Moose Johnson at Chulitna so Jim hiked down there and got them as he needed them right away to freight in some sup plies.
 Emnon Fnach has made a fair catch of fur as there seems to be a few rabbits on Pass Creek. His camp is about seven miles west of Chulitna.
 Roy and Elmer Boedeker, trap ping on Portage Creek, made the banner catch of the season so far around Chulitna. They shipped out IS lynx, 8 mink, weasel and 2 wolverines on Christmas day to the Seattle Fur Exchange. They returned to their camp on the 27 of December
 Steve Nicklos, section foreman at Chulitna, with Lewis as helper, says this is fine winter as there isn't many heaves on the track but they sure have shoveled lots of snow.
 There has been quite a lot of snow and wind in the Broad Pass this winter which has kept the snow blow busy most every train day to get the trains through on time and so far none of the trains have been late this winter.
 
 Moose Johnson, the mayor of is certainly kept busy looking after his 15 miles of trap line and resetting his traps after each snow storm but so far he has done as good as any of them Moose's place is the stopping place for all the boys and he sure treats them fine; one is always welcome at Moses cabin at Gnu itna.

GET IN ACTION
Ploughboys Play Practice
Game With Primera
Quint Tuesday

Coach r. 3. Ritchey put basket
ball under way at Santa Rosa last
Monday and the. Ploughboys viii
play their first practice game OF the
year Tuesday with Primera at the
Wilson Tract school. A return tilt
will be staged Friday nj Santa Rosa.
The girls team also will play on
these occasions.
Coach Ritchey has organized SEN
ior and junior boys team with prac-
tice sessions being held each even
ing on a lighted court. The Plough
boy mentor Is now considering the
feasibility of night games and in
dicates that several of these might
be held.
The senior squad Ritchey has been
cycling up for the past week in
cludeS Charley Cox. Bruce Lester,
Bud Nolan. Harley Moon and Floyd
Ezzell. This Il C0x's fourth year OF
basketball and he is generally known
TO be one Of the best individual per-
formers in the Valley. He got his
previous training under Coach Bur
well who always managed to turn
out a scrapping quint.
Lester is a new man. having come
TO Santa Rosa from Toledo, Ohio.
He packs a year Of experience under
his belt in fast company. Nolan has
played with the Ploughboys for the
past three years. Moon. a new ar
rival from Wilson Tract. has had
previous experience. Ezzell Is a new
conner to the cage game. but his
good play on the junior football
squad has convinced Ritchey that he
should make a creditable basket
shooter.
Ritchey who had an excellent
quint az FL Jardin last year. SAYS he
has good material again and believes
his team will make its opponents
step lively.
Miss Fling is coaching the CIR
squad. Santa Rosa is going in foI
girls basketball and will not take III
soccer this season SO long As games
Of basketball can be matched with
county teams. Their aggregation has
good prospects. It was runner up IN
the county race last season and
practically the entire squad j. bach

MONDAY evening interested par
ties viii gather at Harlingen for the
purpose or recognizing the Valley
Amateur basketball league. This
body enjoyed a fairly successful sea-
son last year and should fare even
better this one. A. r. Wilmington
Of Edinburg was president Of the
organization and II Is likely he will
be returned to this post.
Probable members of the lower
bracket are La Feria, Harlingen, San
Benit0, Rio Hondo. Fort Brown, a
Brownsville town team, HargrOve's
CBroWnsville). and perhaps the jun
Tor college. Interest seems to be high
in the cage game which has never
attained the popularity IL should In
the Valley. Better courtS-indoor
courts If posSible-are the thing
most lacking. In the north and east
basketball is a major sport III every
sense of the word. 1t is a fast. snap
py game in which the best team is
reasonably certain of winning.
Startling up-sets are not frequent
in the cage game. You can't loose

son Ritchey is looking forward TO a

he has good material. That must
mean that the dimunitive mentor Is
In excellent shape.
Both the Brownsville Junior col
