Stewart, a tall union worker who spoke with a decidedly slow drawl was the first witness and said when he reached the mill Sheriff Oscar Adkins, six deputies and Adam Hunt, a mill foreman were standing at the gate talking. I heard Sheriff Adkins say. ‘You people will have to stand back and let the workers go in.’ "Luther Bryson (one of those killed) said: ‘Why don’t the mill live up to Its contract?” ■ Adkins didn’t say anything " "Adam Hunt spoke up and says: ■All you people who want to work come on down here, we’ll see they don’t bother you.’ ■ Martin Swan says ‘I want to work’ but nobody else did. ■Nobody said nothing more for a few minutes and then Adkins, Allie Steppe and Broad Hobbins, who are deputies, began thrownig gas. "George Jones says ‘don’t throw that in my eyes’ and the sheriff stepped toward him. Jones raised his stick like he was going to knock the gas out of his face. "Adkins cohered him and when he did that 1 grabbeu Adkins codt collar and Ollie Steppe struck one es them gas guns in my eyes and blinded me, "The I heard a shot and there was a lot of shooting. I saw Adkins, Fender Robins, Biggerstaff, Chas. Tate and a fellow, the Oldfort deputy, shooting. The people in the road all run." He said he did not see a striker around or fire a shot and that all the shooting was done by officers. "On cross examination Stewart said he was at the mill to “see no one went to work," because "that's the way to do in a strike.” PANTAGESCASE IS RECESSED UNTIL MONDAY (CONTINUED PROM PAGE ONE) would draw a contrast between the flaming red of that gown and the somber clothing she has worn in court. One of the highlights of the afternoon was the meeting between Pantages, one times gold digger and bartender in the Klondike and Kate Rockwell, formerly queen of one of Dawson City’s dance halls. After long friendship, the pair parted bitterly years ago.

"Nothing could be worse than a; rigid settlement, narrowly, jealously and suspiciously interpreted, under which two navies, each the replica of the other, should be metriculously scrutinized and compared from day to day by naval experts and eager newspapers on either side to make sure that neither party had gained the slightest advantage over the oth-
