HUNTER RouLLY MURDERED.
A CRIME COMMITTED NEAR
BRIGHTON.


A terrible crime WAS committed on the
prairie near Brighton on the End. Joe Smith
vas the victim of young Pole Is years of
age.
Smith and two companions, named Alex
,nder Baker and Harry wyman, went from
Denver on that day on q hunting expedition.
They drove in wagon to point nine miles
west Of Brighton, where they left their teams
and started out afoot.
They were soon met By a young Pole who
asked the time, and Smith pulled out his gold
watch to tell him. The boy had an old mus
ket, with a broken stock bound with wire, and
carried several rabbits in a bag. He said he
lived In that neighborheod and knew where
there were plenty Of rabbits, and Smith asked
him TO show the place, which he agreed TO
do. As Baker and Wyman were after ducks
they went in another direction agreeing to
meet at the wagon at o clock. Smith failed
to show up then or at any time. After look
Ing about for him they eneamped and waited
for morning. They then began another
search and after some time found Smiths
dead body. His watch and gun were gone
and there was hole in his back where he
had been shot. Officers we're notified and ar
rested the Pole, whose name is Antoine
Wood. Wood confessed his guilt, but said
that he had row Ills parents were also ar
rested and held As witnesses.

GREAT strike IN NEW ORLEANS
Nearly All the Unions In the City Order
their Men Out.

For some time there has been trouble In
New Orleans between the labor unions and
employers. The chief cause was the refusal
OF many corporations and Individual employ
ers TO recognize the unions in negotiations
concerning wages. Several unions have or
dered their men out, and the strike has now
become general.
The decision Of the typographical union 10
Join the striking phalanx has nerycd the other
bodies which were neutral in the matter, and
all Of the labor unions which signed the call
for the general strike are now out, except the
cotton laborers. The latter Is most impor-
tant part of the Amalgamated Council, but
In the face os an idle summer the loss to labor
which a strike would entail and the opposi-
ton of the powerful Cotton Exchange which
would be aroused, the cotton unions have
been allowed to remain at work. 1t is under
stood, however, that the men are ready TO
quit work when the committee give. the word,
although the instructions are that, even IL the
order comes, they must finish any work which
they have begun.
Not street car Is running. No work Is
being done and the only sign OF activity Is In
the wholesale grocery district, against which
the strike Is principally directed. The new
men are willing TO remain ut work until 'io-
lence IS so general as to make 1t unsafe Tor
them to continue. The stoppage Oh their
labor would lead 10 the closing OF the whole
sale groceries till the strike is well over, the
merchants saying they are ready To close from
thirty TO ninety days and Ill their country Or
dcrs directly from the West.
The most serious feature OF the situation
was the suspension Of the lighting system
gas and clectriclty-and some relief was felt
when the officers OF two electric companies
called upon the mayor and said they thought
they could furnish light II guaranteed pro-
lection for men engaged 10 take the places OF
those on strike. This was readily promised
Later the electric light men returned to work.
The gas men, however, are still out, and
lamps and candles are serving Illuminating
purposes in private residences.
The men employed in the cotton presses
and yards are sim at work This is the
season In which they derive their earnings
for the entire year and they refuse 10 20 out,
as a strike at this time would probably ruin
their prospects for the season.
The proposition made through the governor
to arbltratc the question of hours and
wages, but to leave the question OF unionism
entirely alone-has not yet been responded To
by the laborcrs, but 1t Is hardly thought that
II VIII be accepted, as the cry of unionsm Is
made the rallying cause Of the labor bodies
The merchants also say that they will not re-
ccdc further. said President Odendnhl OF
the Board Of Trade few months ago; 1T Is
not unionism we arc fighting, but the abuse
OF unionism and the dlctatorial demands, that
none but union men be employed
The governor has ordered the militia to
prepare for call at any time, and there may
be serious trouble soon.

Huntington Buy, Iron Mines,

One OF the largest mining deals ever known
in Mexico had just been contaminated at
Durango. The deal was the purchase of the
wonderful Iron Mountain near Durango and
the extensive steel and iron works in that city
by Coils p. Huntington, president OF the
Southern Pacific company. What price was
paid for these valuable properties Is not
known, but it will run up into the millions. 1t

cate Of Scotch, English and French capital

Grandc railway, ended their conference with
the officers of the company on the 2nd and
returned to their homes.
No Information could be gained as to the
specific questions discussed, but seemingly,
everything was arranged to the entire salts
faction OF the employees. President JefIery
said:
ssThe conferences Of the last SIX or seven
days with the committees of engineers and
firemen have resulted bencically to both
the men and the company. For several years
differences have been growing up, and from
one cause and another their adjustment had
apparently been neglected and the result was
that the men were not in harmony with the
management, although | was personally with
out knowledge Of this fact. In the confer
enccs just concluded We discussed all ques-
lions which seemed important to the men,
and where AN apparent wrong had been done,
corrected It, and came to such an understand
Ing AS will prevent similar things in the
future. | am satisfied that the interchange
of views has been beneficial to both sides and
that the men and the management will move
along in greater harmony hereafter and will
gradually draw more closely together"
