Heaer Hill Trouble. Tho Times
regrets that a combination of a fool
joker and a misunderstanding by the
reporter lesulted in a very inaccurate
statement in reference to the recent
difficulty at tho Beaver Hill mine.
There was no chasing of tho superin
tendent or other of the alleged hu
morous features with which the ar
ticle was embellished. It was one of
those affairs which will now and then
creep Into tho columns of a newspa
per In tho rush of daily work, for
which there is no excuse but the fact
that some people have perverted
ideas of humor, and that tho editor
cannot always see and verify every
thing that goes Into the paper.

Everyone cordially invited to at
