the amalgamated men stood 101 ayes
to VI nays. The meeting was a red
hot one all the way through, and at one
time lt looked as If Burgess Hollingshead
would have to assert his official authority
to prevent a serious conflict.
Charges and counter charges were the
order Of the day. Newspaper reporters
we're excluded, but the information is re-
liable that those wishing to declare the mill
open barely succeeded in carrying their
poiut.
THE MEN FEEL SORE.
Now that the agony is over the men are not
backward about expressing their opinions
OF the men who have posed as leaders, con-
hdently promising victory when they knew
for certainty that the battle was hopeless.
ACCORDING TO Supc w ood OF the Homestead
works, not more than or 900 OF the total
number OF old employees will be able to Sc
cure employment.
Only about 800 msn attended to-dsy's
meeting. Those opposed to bringing the
fight to an end struggled hard to
prevent ballot, pleading, arguing
aud making predictions Of the distegration
of the amalgemated association in the event
Of such action. They were in the minority
and they knew it. yet they plead with their
brethren to stand firm, if for no other rea-
son than to show the world that they had
not forgotten the men who were lying in
prison cells awaiting trial. 1t was of no
avail. The question was put. The vote
was standing one.
When Vice President Carney announced
the result men sat and stared at each other
for few minutes. then arose and left the
hall. With winter upon them they see moth

istence. which may assume the proportion

CHARLIE SNYDER SHOOTS.

Yesterday great excitement prevailed in
Officer Charlie Snyder's beat when he
fired three or four shots in the air remind
ing one of the palmy days when the fes-
tive cowboy announced his presence in the
Peerless Princess with similar cannonad-
ing. The story is as follows: Some three
weeks ago Artur Blue, a farmer suffered
the loss Of fine set of harness through
robbery. He sent word to the second hand
goods merchants here to be on the lookout
for them, giving a description of the goods
as near as he could. Yesterday John Coates,
a man living short distance from town
presented himself at a second hand
store on West Douglas avenue
and offered the harness for sale. The
merchant Immediately remembered that
Blues harness had been stolen and he
called Officer Snyder. When Mr.. Snyder
was about to enter Coates saw him and
took to his heels but Snyder soon over
took him and was accompanying him to
Jail when Coates broke away the second
time by whipping the team he was driving
while Officer Snyder was not suspecting
any dodge of this kind. Snyder at once
pulled out his revolver aud began firing
bullets In the air IN hopes or making the
fleeing man halt. The man failed to halt,
and procuring a horse from friend Sny-
der took after him and ran him distance
of some miles but failed to overtake him
as the horse he was riding failed
beneath him. He returned home empty
handed, but Officers Aspey and Harmon.
who went in another direction, found
Coats. brought him back to town and put
him in Jail where he now is. In the mean
time Blue was encountered on the stress
and when told about the affair he went di-
rectly TO the police headquarters to get his
harness, but upon examination the bar
ness did not belong to him at all, and SO
far there is no proof that Coats stole the
harness except his desire to make himself
scarce when the officer was after him.
