The strike was declared offand the min- | the hun- dreds. At these miners all but the leaders of the strike were given em- ployment. The men return to work The miners on account of the strike have been out of employment seven weeks and gained nothing.

The horses and buggy found in| Mine creek a week or 80 ago were | the property of Crumley & Graver, | of Nevada, and it has been definitely | settled that the driver of the vehicle | was C. C. Berger. His people live in Anthony Kansas. He has a brother | in the hardware business at that place | and his father is judge of one of the district courts. Berger was about 25 years of age, under the average height and weight with dark hair and eyes and wore a mustache and side whiskers. The Nevada Mail says he stole the property and there is practically no doubt that the thief councilman Carroll, appointed ona special committee to interview the merchants in regard to the levying of an oceupation tax, in his report stated he could find but two or three business men who favored the proposition. The council adjourned without taking action in regard to matter of raising revenue, and just what will be the final outcome of the situation remains to be seen. Miss Byrd Henry, daughter of Mrs. G. A. Henry, proved herself to be a heroine Monday afternoon. The | two ladies hitched their vehicle in | front of Endres’ bakery, and while in the store of Sam'l Levy & Co. shopping, the two horses (a splen- | did pair of bays) took fright and | breaking loose from the post, whirl- ed around inthe street and started torun. Miss Byrd saw them start, took in the situation. and witha beund she went to the pavement and then to the street, and before the team had time to get under head- way she grabbed the rein of the nearest horse, and with determined effort she succeeded in turning the heads of the animals to the curb stone in front of the Farmers Bank aud stopped them. The clerks in the store and a half dozen men on the sidewalk who witnessed the af- fair were paralyzed for the time being, and declare it to be the most daring act they ever witnessed.
