BLOODSHED
AVERTED
Borough Stands Up Boldly
For It's Rights.
Street Railway Company's
Attempt to Change Tracks
Arouses the Authorities at
Shamokin.

Borough officials frustrated an attempt
made by the Shamokin-Mt. Carmel Elec-
trio Railway last night to remove it's
tracks on certain streets in Shamokin
section of the Liberty Fire Company's
hose was attached to a nearby water
plug ready to turn water on employees of
the railway if they made an effort to
move the tracks another inch.
A large number of special officers
sworn in by Burgess Thomas to carry
out the orders of the street committee
were stationed at the the point, armed
with revolvers and guns and ready to
give battle.
When the gang of workmen had NOV
ed the tracks from their original posi-
tions about ten inches, the burgess was
informed. He hastily called together
the street committee and members of
town council, and that body decided to
stop all work until the tracks were
moved to their original bed.
When work was stopped the railway
company had connected all but about
three feet of the new section, and it
made efforts to have that part put in,
but council objected No effort was
made during the night by the company
to put in the necessary rail to make the
connection. If there had been, blood
would have been shed.
The railway officials today decided
that the borough had the upper hand,
and its employees are placing the tracks
back in their original position.
The trouble is on account of the rail
OF the cost of street paving, which
council claims should be borne by the
company.

was owned by George Koyelik, of Upper

Manufacturing Company. The former
contained clothes and other wearing
apparel, and the latter samples of over
alls, jackets, etc.
Both were carried to the culm bank
west of the depot and were there broken
open and their contents strewn about
What the thieves expected to find in
either the trunk or the case cannot be

they counted upon securing something
valuable, as nothing else about the
depot was disturbed.
Detective Brundage is working on the
case, but has not yet discovered any
clue which would lead to arrest of the
guilty parties.

Four Timely Questions.

AT the joint meeting of the represen-

Schuylkill, Lehigh and Wyoming re-
gions at Hazleton on July 80 an ulti-
matum will be issued to the operators.
The four questions which have been
agitating the miners for some time will
then come up for final disposition.
These questions arc:
First-Will the operators obey the
state law and pay their men every two
weeks?
Second-Will the operators grant a
reduction in the price of powder?
Third-Will the operators recognize
the miners union?
Fourth-Wll the operators consent
to change in the dockage system?
