and bloody noses We're getting very COM
mon when the police, who had been sum-
mOned when the fight first began. ar
rived. They were under the command of
Captain Jenkins. who at once made raid
on the mob with his handful of officers.
The strikers at first refused to give ground
and the police used their clubs freely.
This did not have the desired effect, and
Captain Jc kins ordered his men to draw
their revolvers and fire over the heads of
the strikers AS soon as this was done
the mob broke and fled wildly from the
premises of the company. The fight only
lasted a few minutes and there was no
more rioting. One of the minor officials
of the company did not exactly agree with
the cause of the strike as given by Mr..
Forsythe. He said: "The men who struck
were hired three weeks ago to take the
places of the old employees, who We're be-
ing paid So 10 day. and who would not
work for the schedule of SLIGO, which
was put into effect at that time. They
were hired on the contract and had agree
ments for the year. With the SLIGO men on
the furnaces are Il number of day labOrers
who are working for S1.15 day and were
voluntarily increased from 81 Il short
time ago. The men who agreed to work
for SLIGO asked for the old scale which
had been been paid the men whom they
replaced. 1t was not granted, and they
struck"

AN HISTORICAL TEXAN.

To The Statcsman:
With the burning of the capitol we had
to deplore the loss of the archieveS and
many records which kept us familiar with
events and the men prominent in Texas
early days.
TO I'LL these wants and to add to the
often very meagre data left we have
TO turn to the very few survivors vet
remaining with us for rcminiSCenSCpS
Ex-senator Col II. X. Holland repre-
SCENTS one of these men-onC of those old
land Notwithstanding Il public record of
which few of our citizens know. As an
actor in political affairs of early Texas,
he merits mt our hands more than an
honorable mention.
Colonel Holland was here in the DAYS
of the Republic of Texas. when Austin
was little village and BaStrop highway
ran along where Pecan street now is.
lie was here at annexation. He saw the
old Republic of Texas die and witnessed
the birth of the Lone Star State. and
was ut Arson Jones' inauguration at the
old town of Washington. on the BraZOS,
in 1913.
lie was here when men came to the leg
iSlature and to congress from the Sabine
and from the Rio Grande on horseback
and cnmped out ON their way to Austin.
lie was here as young member of the
senate ana mousse II way back III the early
hfties. He was at that day the youngest
as he is today the oldest ex-senator and
representative of Texas now living. He
was here when the old congress hall sat
upon the hill just south of the governors
mansion on the spot where the city hall
is now located, a spot sacred to all old
Texans and but little known to the pres
ent citizens of Austin. 1t was upon Sen
ator Hollands motion that the senate
moved out of the old congress hall into
the then new capitol-Since burned down
this was in 1858. As chairman of in
auguration ceremonies on the part of the
senate, he led upon his arm up Capitol
hill the first governor Governor Pease)
ever inaugurated upon it. Colonel Hol

TODAY,S CAME.

Today will be an off day in pOrefessiona
baseball circles, but at the earnest solicl'
tation of many of the citizens of Austin.
arrangements have been made for gam
at the park this afternoon that will be a
corker from COrkersville. 1t is nothing
more nor less than game between the
Austin team and a picked nine from the
enthusiasts here in town. The object 0
the game will be to get new uniforms TO
our boys.
A glance over the list of the picked min
will show what talent there is in tn
crowd and it is safe to predict that pro
fessssonal baseball cranks will be giver
some valuable pointers at the game thi
afternoon. Dave Harrell who will play

DIFFERENCE SETTLED.

New York, May st is authoritat lively
announced that the Southern Railway
company and the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton have settled their diff erence
growing out of the Cincinnati extension
bonds, and to the satisfaction o. both
PARTIES. The settlement provided that
control of the Alabama Great Southern
goes to the Southern railway and the rep
resentatives of that company to the
amount of majority today have been
| elected members of the board The effect
, of this is that the Southern railway will
control the Alabama Great Southern, the
CINCINNATI, Hamilton and Dayton having
no interest therein, and that the line be-
tween Cincinnati and Chattanooga shall
be a neutral line. There can be no change
in the Cincinnati, New Orleans and South
ern Pacific at present as that property is
in the hands of a receiver and must con-
tinue so until it is properly recognized.
| The Southern Railway company retains
the ownership of the old Louisville South
ern line, which insures also protection in
the cit yof Louisville.

Two games of ball We're played today by

Gilpatrick's delivery was too much of Il
puzzle, but in the sixth Bammert secured
a twO-bagger and the ShrevepOrters held
out with some hopes, though by errors
the Orphans had secured four in the
eighth. The Pelicans dropped onto Gill

Both were great games and the way vic

tries in Oncyvillc and placed in the hands
of general committee to dsburse where

NOTES.

The Statesman must call attention to
the superb work of Umpire Brennan.
There never was a fairer or better umpire
in any Southern league. He is an old time
ball player, a great catcher, and is making
an AL umpire He allows no back talk
and his decisions are rarely, if ever, ques-
toned. Ladies can feel assured there
will be no rOwdyism allowed while he
is umpire, and he officiates the balance of
the series here.
Austin's new men. Austin has new
pitcher by the name of Ed Lesterjette,
who will be here today, ready for the Fort
Worth series. He has a fine record, and
he, with LOngley and Rundell, will do the
next three games for us.
Another new man is Cappy Martin of
Williamsport, Pa. He leaves there for
Austin today and will play third
base. He is said to be great.
The management are also negotiating
for two other crackerjack pitchers and
Austin will yet be all right and shove to
the front

Having determined through the AID
of extensive experiments that GER
tain modified cyanide process will take
care of practically all of the gold and
silver values in the ores from the prop
critics, the lessees of the Old Spanish
mines and mill will tomorrow order a
resumption of general operations at
the mill. 1t will be remembered THAI
this plant closed down some time ago
for the reason that the tailings which
left the tanks contained almost as
much gold and silver as did the
original ores and it became very evil
dent that the process as applied to
the ore treatment was a failure. Moth
ing daunded with this result and &C
cepting the advice of certain successful
operators the Old Spanish people at
once commenced to investigate the
matter thoroughly for the purpose of
determining upon just the proper
things to take care of the values. The
result of these experiments seems to
have been successful, for the mill is
now to get down to regular work.
AS before stated, full operations are
to be resumed at the plant on Wednes-
day morning A heavy supply of
chemicals has just been sent up to the
works and everything is being placed
in readiness for the resumption.
