Sparks Has No Use For Traitors: It was stated on good authority Monday that W. Merriman, an IWW agitator, was conducted from Sparks to the California line on Saturday night and warned not to return to Reno or Sparks, under penalty of serious maltreatment, says the Journal. The IWW man has been working as an extra brakeman for the Southern Pacific Company at Sparks and is alleged to have given vent to seditious utterances on a number of occasions.
