as the job was being completed
Brock Manus, deputy constable
rode up. Two of the robbers fired
at him and he returned the fire
seriously wounding one. The
wounded robbers name is Davis.
He gave his comrades away, and
two of them. Meyers and Motley,
have been arrested. They were
novioes at highway robbery.
The conviction of J. II. Beck
means the breaking up of the
flooding of the country with circu-
lars setting forth the immense val

will greatly reduce the number of
claimants. There are four others
under indictment for the same of.
fense, but their cases were con-
tinued to the May term.
The day has been taken up in
the U. S. court with the trial of
Cherokee Bill for the killing of
Earnest Melton at Lenapah, Nov.
9th. The government has made
strong case. Cherokee Bill and
a man supposed to be Vedigris Kid
robbed Schufeldt's store, the post
office, and Bill has been positively
identified as the man who fired
the fatal shot Standing in Schu.
feldt's store, through the glass door
he saw Melton standing at win
dow of store just across vacant
lot, and without warning he fired.
The ball struck Melton just below
the eye and came out of the back
of the head. The defence is try
ing to prove that the robbery was
committed by Jim French and a
companion, and one of their wit
nesses swore that the man in front
of the store was French.

SYMPATHETIC STRIKES TO AID THE DERRICK
MEN IN THEIR DEMANDS EFFORTS TO
ADJUST DIFFERENCES
Five thousand men did not go to their usual en-
ployment yesterday. and nearly $4,000 was lost
10 them In wages. The cause OF the trouble IL the
strike OF the derrickmen who hoist the heavy mate
rial used in the construction OF large buildings
The derrckmen to the number OF about 900 went
on strike a week ago for an increase OF wages from
g. Is n day to 81. Their strike was indorsed by the
Board OF Walking Delegates representing about all
the trades in the building Industry. About 1000
stone e-cutters employed In the various stone yards
went out on a sympathetic strike and all the yards
were closed down yesterday. The whole stone In
dustry is affected by the strike, and should II con-
t!nue much longer there are fears that the entire
building industry which is now active In this city,
will be brought standstill. The boss stone-cut-
ters are much Interested. and at their suggestion
long conferences were held by the various unions
and branches OF the trade yesterday for the pur-
nose of bringing about settlement Of the trouble
II possible.
The derrlckmen met at Columbia Hall. in First
ave- between Slxty-ffth and Sixty-sxth sts' yes
terday II was reported there that nearly 100 OF
the men had gone back TO work, their bosses hav-
ing agreed to give them the increase in wages de-
sired Secretary Graham told a reporter for the
Tribune that the bosses had promised the derrick
men in May last that they would entertain pro-
posal to raise wages in September, but long since
refused to do so, hence the strike.
The Master stone Cutters Association met in
the afternoon in the Bloomlngdale Building, SIX.
delegations from the boss stone-setters who EN-, n,
ploy the derrickmen the stone-cutters, Board OF
Walking Delegates and the derrickmen After the
various delegations had been heard. the boss stone
cutters suggested that committees OF the stone-se, ,e
ters and the derrckmen meet to adjust the dlin-
Guilty by arbitration. The delegates from the Iwo

DIR. BURNETTES DEATH CAUSES TALK.
PHYSICIANS DIFFER on THE THEORY THAT CAN
GER is CoNTAGIoUs-wHAT TWO OF
THEM SAY OF THE CASE

THEM SAY OF THE CASE
The death OF Dr. Edward w. Burnette from
malignant cancer, which was reported in The
Tribune yesterday, has gwen rise to much discus
sion in medical circles. The circumstances leading
up to his death such that they established
in the minds Of some physicians the theory that
cancer can be produced by inoculation. The claim
Is made that DR.. Burnette contracted the disease
by bringing his finger. with which he had touched
a cancerous growth In contact with a scratch on
his cheek.
Physicians are divided In their opinions on the
theory. One distinguished practitioner who had not
seen the case but who had read the printed
counts. said: mo one knows exactly what cancer
is although books being written on the sub
ject and teachers OF surgery discourse wisely on
the theme We know that IT Is a hereditary dis
ease and that a large percentage OF cases come
from slight injuries the patients being unable to
find trace OF the disease IN the family The
case In question Is interesting simply from the
fact that Il establishes the theory advanced by
many that cancer k contagious disease We
know that dumb ANIMALS have developed cancer
after being inoculaed. but this is the frs; case
Another surgeon high standing ssid: ..If
cancer could be produced In the human be ng by
before now. Operations for cancer are performed
every day in the year, and every day some si,r
geon Injuries himself while operating Is # not
strange that up 10 this day only surgeon has
developed the disease II 1t be Transmitted I'm
that way? l did not know the patient" he added
NOR have ] followed the history OF the case hui
from what know OF cancer am free n sav ,ba, ba,
DR.. Burnette would have died OF cancer II he had
never seen case OF that disease. The grown
centage OF cancers make their appearance, il
made itself manifest at time In life when cane
usually shows itself. and the cut on the cheek
had no other effect. In my mind. than TO stem
tho development"
