Hugh McDonald formerly janitor
Of the Miners & Merchants Bank
died yesterday on the outside ac
cording to a wire received by Mr.
£ole. The deceased was a victim of
cancer, and had been ailing for a
Considerable time. He was but the
shadow of his former self when he
left here yet he bore up uncomplain
ingly under his terrible affliction. He
was known and respected by all who
knew him, and all his friends heard
of his death with pangs of genuine
regret.
The trial of Carrie for shooting
Griffin the soldier will take place to
day at two o’clock before the U. S.
commisisoper, Judge Schofield. The
offense charged is a misdemeanor
which is aiming a gun without malic
et the person of Griffin. It is taken
for granted that the girl had no in
tention to injure Griffin. At ten
o’clock last night the soldier Griffin
was just lingering out, and there
w'as no hope at all entertained for
his recovery. Merely the strong
physical constitution of the man
prolonged the hours of his existence.
He wras expected to pass away at
any time.
A. Jardine who on the moors of Bon
nie Scotland has been able to ac
quire many pointers in bird lore,
says that the methods of dealing
with grouse there could be followed
here with regard to the ptarmigan
with great advantage. Among one
of the pointers which he suggests is
that the older male birds be now
killed off, as in the spring when
the birds are breeding they kill the
young male stock and always breed
an inferior quality of bird. He
notices that some of the ptarmigan
are small in size and stunted in every
way, and he says that these are un
doubtedly the progeny of old male
birds and it w'ould have improved the
flocks had they been destroyed. They
have been obliged to treat the old
male grouse in this fashion years
ago, and they find it improves the
flocks immensely. Mr. Jardine
w'ill be a passenger on the Victoria.

STRIKERS SEIZE TOWN AND
DRIVE SCARS TO THE WOODS
VANCOUVER, B. C., Aug. 14.—
Infuriated by the bitter attacks
which the coal mine owners nad
been making upon the strikers they
today at Nanaimo, Ladysmith and
Wellington drove the strike breakers
that had just been introduced to
gether with their guards and depu
ties to the environs of the city, and
made them after severe fighting take
to the tall timber. They forced
the Nainaimo manager to suspend
the publication of his paper, and
drove the police out of town. Beyond
driving the strike breakers from the
mines, and chasing the guards helter
skelter to the woods the strikers did
no damage to property, but in the
evening one of the buildings in the
outskirts of the city caught fire and
there being no fire department to
control it under a favoring breeze
it spread through a large portion
of the -town.

Acting Premier McBride has dis
patched three hundred militia men
to Nanaimo, and it is likely that
they will be able to control the
situation fully. The strike breakers
are many of them badly scared, and
dozens of the special guards who
have been in such service before on
the American side have deserted and
are making tracks for otherwheres.
The attack came all unannounced
and the strike breakers and their
protectors were wholly unprepared
for the outbreak. Only yesterday
the managers through their paper
were boasting that the strikers had
been completely defeated, and were
begging to be taken back but that
the mines were employing all the
help they needed. The change has
affected the strike considerably, and
the mine managers fear that it will
seriously interfered with their plans
of getting more scabs, who will be
needed to take the places of the
striking miners.
