RUSHVILLE, Ind, June ia shooting
affray which probably will have a fatal
termination occurred tonight at Riverside
Park. Charles Oster, twenty three years
old, white, and Albert Burkett. aged
twenty-four, colored, had dispute over
making change, G few weeks ago. Burkett
charged that Oster tried to beat him in the
transaction, and night ensued. The pair
separated and Oster vowed to get even.
Oster met Burkett at Riverside Park. to-
night. and without saying a word, whipped
out a revolver and shot Burkett twice. The
first ball entered the abdomen, at the
navel, and the second in the back, near the
spine.
The bullets, in either case, penetrated be-
yond the muscles of the abdomen and back,
but ugly wounds were inflicted. The doc
tors have but little hope of Burkett's re-
covery.
Oster escaped after the shooting and is
still at large. He is son of Philip OSter,
president of the Rushville Heading Com
pany.

in the north part of the city at which the
preliminary steps were taken TO form
snappers' union. In the wage settlement
between L. A. 800 and the American Win

made whereby the manufacturers shall pay

blowers and gatherers. Members of l.. a.

IL per cent. on this account
The action of the snappers here will be
followed by others all over the country and
they will not only ask. an increase in
wages, but will demand that they be given
an opportunity to become gatherers and
blowers. As it is now no apprentic can be-
come a gatherer or blower unless he has
brother or father in one of the above
branches. The snappers consider this an
injustice and will demand that the barrier
be removed.
