All morning the few man hunters still here have, been beat ing the woods on the south side of the Lewis without result, and now worn 'out and discouraged, they have returned here to rest.

' PETITIONS AGAINST OFFICIALS. The petitions drawn up for the removal of these men were signed by almost every resident of those towns, and It Is very probable that they "will boycott the road unless the strikers' demands are granted. , The strikers look upon this as being one of their strongest cards. To receive the indorsement ot from 2000 to 3000 citi zens who . reside in the territory from which the road has beep drawing hand some revenues will certainly play an Important part In bringing about a set tlement of the difficulties. At least the men believe that' these petitions will be of such sufficient potency that they can not be Ignored by the management of the road, if it does not wish to see its busi ness hopelessly impaired. , HURLBURT'S CLAIM.
