quarrel took place between him and his
clients The angry dispute is said to
have been overheard by crowds in the
street on which the Chinese were

exaggerated, it appears to be true that

leaving the embassy in Hiroshima and
straightway returning to the United

shot to death and a fourth mortally

Cox factions near OSb0rn5 gap, Dickin-

in the neighborhood. and for years the
families have been deadly enemies.
According to the best information OBJ
tainabIe, Rob and Sam Smith had been
at the gap and we're on their way
home when they met Ben and Lem
Cox on the road about two miles from
town. All four were under the in
fluence of liquor The Smiths drew re-
volvers and commanded their enemies
to surrender, instead of which the Cox
boys jerked out weapons. Then a
general fight was begun and lasted
for nearly half an hour When the
smoke cleared away, Rob and Sam
Smith and Ben Cox we're found lying
dead on the road and Lem Cox is SO
badly wounded that his death is ex-
pected h0ursly. The killing of these
men puts an end to the feud that has
long been prominent In criminal cir

Panama Canal Workmen Have Had

New York, Feb. ga special to the
World from Panama says: The men
employed on the canal are abandoning
work. Even those in the greatest need
refuse to accept the low wages offered
to replace the strikers. 1t is now ru-
mored that it is the purpose of the
company to put wages so low that men
cannot accept and so have a preteXt
for not continuing work until a fresh
supply of funds comes from France.

believed that the government will in

some of the most important articles of
