It is learned tnac unless the strike U settled before they ere culled Homo the depredations will bo renewed as soon as their backs are turned. The feeling among the strikers Is intensely bitter , but they arc careful to commit no overt act anil content themselves with scowling at tbo uillitiu and muttrrlne In iinintelliKlulo tongues.

It Is well known among- citizens that the lives of Captain Lear nnd the deputies would bo In jeopardy should the militia bo withdrawn. Tboro Is no doubt but that the strikers are determined to wreak ven cauco eventually upon the people responsible for the death of their country men. Ono peculiar feature of tbo situation Is over a month they still have considerable money and from outward iippoaranco arc not suffering for anything. In the Mount Pleas ant bank thcro Is a lureo list of depositors whoso savings range from StiQ to ? 3,000. Of this money very little has been withdrawn. How thcso people live \vlthout drawing money it is dmlcult for Americans to under stand. To those who have no money the labor organizations f n rnlsh small sums.
