William A. Pinkerton reports to Governor Gooding that Agent 21 he met a man name William Easterly who wore a Western Federation of Miners button and who he thinks is “watching the movements of the men working for the W. F. of M.” Pinkerton was told that Easterly was the chairman of the strike committee during the “Colorado trouble” and is a man the Pinkertons fear. He is still waiting to hear reports from other agents in the field.
