Bus!- ness is dormant where formerly it prospered in this city of 10,000 In- habitants. The reason is given over and over jeagain by the business men of the lcounty as idleness at the mines. Coal mining is Williamson's one real oc- upation. Approximately forty mines lare operated in this district, with between twenty and thirty thous- land miners employed in normal times. Now nearly all are closed with thousands of men out of work. These men have been without jobs since last winter. Into this situation came the Ku ‘Klux Klan to engender feeling ong ‘a certain element of the idle men. Opposition developed to Sheriff George Galligan; a Klansman was ieilied by the anti-Klan group, and ithe base laid for the present feud.

U. S. ADVISED OF CHINESE WARFARE. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—The hos- tilities between the forces of Mill- tary Governor Chj and Defense Com- missioner Ho at Hwangtu_ near Shanghai began at 10 o'clock this morning, the state department was advised today by Consul General Cunningham. Mr. Cunningham also reported that the American navel forces were prepared to ‘and forces along with Japanese, French, Italian and Brit ish navel contingents to protect for- eign settlements if necessary. The French consul general has served notice that the French naval forces will be landed in the French concession at 5 o'clock this after- noon. The despatch said governor Chi was in charge of Kiangsu prov- inee but gave no details of the fight- ing. factions, declare that with steady employment at the mines, men would have been occupied with money to spend and with home interests to keep them from seeking excitement in new quarters. But instead, idling, they have been swayed by wrong in fluences, with killing the result. Mines, however, are not counted on to get under full blast for an- other year. A few started prepara- tlon for operating today, but they are not expected to run to capacity. While waiting for work to come and keeping a weather eye out for trouble, it's a queer situation that’s sen here, withal. There is the sur- face calm of an Easer Sunday. Troops are kept indoors. The better element of the city—and it is the big element—keeps off the street. Sheriff Galligan has retired to the quiet of the county jail at Marion, surround. ed by deputies, and fearful of his life. Ora Thomas, deputy sheriff and head of the Knights of the Flaming Circle, counter-organization to the Klan, is near him. Klan lead- ers walk the streets unconcerned. They are after Galligan and his de- puty, Thom so the sheriff be- eves. But resign? “Not for a million dollars,”” Sheriff Galligan told the writer today when it was suggested that people were saying his resignation would bring peace. “This job is prized more by me today than anything that could be offered. I was elected to tt and ¥ am gging to serve my term out,” he advised. The sheriff {s none too enthusias- tie over his plight and is convinced that once the troops leave he will be the object of attack by the Klans- men. Altho bristling with guns and sur. rounded by deputies, he is none too sure that he can maintain peace in the future. In fact, he is quick to y that his turn to die is not far The Klansmen assert that Gal- must go if trouble is to sub- off ligan side. The law enforcement officers in this county adore the national guard, While Adjutant General Black says it has cost the state $102,000 already this year to main- tain troops in the district, not count- ing the present invasion, Sheriff Gal- Ngan believes the expenditure has been a worth while one. He wouldn't object to having a contingent con- tinually on the job here. The sight of the guardsmen has the effect of bringing immediate peace thruout the county Genera] Black says that he, sees no reason, however, for keeping any troops here for more than a few days. He is sending all but one com SOLD BY YOUR DRuUGGIST; The CAMPBELL 147 S. Center St. Every Thursday Specials ALARM CLOCKS Regular $2.50 Thursday Special pany home today.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 3—All of the returns from the state except thirty precincts give Senator War- ren, Republican, 21,472 and Con- gressman Winter 21,471. The Demo- cratic vote stood; Laird, 3,217, O'Mahoney 4,289 and Rose 6,384. The total Democratic vote was 13,890. It will be noted that the Republican vote Is more than 50 per cent larger than the Democratic vote and this in spite of the fact that there was a keen contest on in the Democratic primary. The total primary vote two years ago for United States sena- tor was 37,837, while this year, giv- ing ten votes each to the precincts still out, the total vote is 35,662. The vote for John B. Kendrick, Democrat, two years ago was 12,782, and this year it wil! approximate 14,100, the increase this year being occasioned by the Democratic con- test. Considering everything, the primary vote is unusually heavy, approximating considerably more than 50 per cent of the vote that is likely to be polled in the November election. Mr. Rose was nominated by a yote approximating 6,500 or about 10 per cent of the entire vote of the state. If he is able to get all of the yotes cast for Mr. Laird and Mr. O'Mahoney, as well as his own, he will still have to increase that to- ta! by at least 225 per cent to stand any show of election in November. On the other hand, the Republican congressional candidates will have only to increase their vote by 60 per cent leaving the LaFollette ticket entirely out of consideration. The LaFolletta. people of course did not figure in the primary elec- tion not having a place on the bal- lot two years ago. The candidates of the third party will be filed by petition. It is understood that Mr. Kindler made his first speech in the campaign on Labor Day at Sheri- dan and that he will make an tensive campaign in the state one can say just what per cent of the vote the LaFollette people will poll."in some it is likely to be pretty heavy and in others very light. If Mr. LaFollette polls 15 per cent of the vote of the state he will do remarkably well. > FORMER CASPER MAN TAKES HIS OWN LIFE BY DRINKING POISON LOS ANGELE: Irwin M. who is said to have con: YALE, Okle., Sept. 3—Twe un masked bandits, entering the Far. mers National Bank here shortly after noon Tuesday forced the pres: dent, Cashier, one of the. directors and a customer to turn their faces to the wall, scooped in between $2,500 and $3,000 in and es caped after locking occupants in a vault.
