COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OFF
$500 REWARD.
FUGITIVE SEEN AT HOMESTAKE
Posse Composed of Sheriff's Deputies
and Others Are Securing the Hills
and Surrounding Country
in Hot Pursit.

Once more the city of Butte has been
startled by the news of a shocking muir
der, and the slayer of a felloWman is
fleeing from justice, with small prospect
of being easily taken by the officers of
the law.
The details of the crime committed by
P. F. Hayes when he shot down William
McCaine at the door of Parker's board
ing house on East Gagnon street Satur-
day evening were told in an extra edi-
ton of the Inter Mountain brief space
Of time after the crime was committed.
Nothing has since been learned that adds
to or takes away from the facts as they
then stood.
This forenoon a reward was offered for
the apprehension of Hayes. Deputy
County Attorney Mackel and Under
Sheriff McGuigan called upon the county
commissioners and asked that a reward
Re offered for the arrest and conviction
of the slayer OF McCaine.
How much you think should be Of
fered?" asked member of the commits
sioner board.
''Not less than $500. l think $500 would
be nearer the right figure said Mr..
Mackle.
"All right" said Chairman Clark of
the board; make it so00.''
Commissioners Matthews and O'Farrell
assented to this, and accordingly price
was put upon the murderer and the re-
ward will be paid to his captors if he is
convicted upon being caught.
Seen at Homestake.
A posse of sheriffs deputies are now
busy searching the country looking for
Hayes. Word came in from Homestake
today that man answering the descrip-
ton of Hayes was seen to cross the road
near that place and would not halt nor
answer a hail when shouted at by his
pursuers. Deputy Sheriff Procbstel and
, a man familiar with the country about
Homestake have gone to the place where
the man supposed to be Hayes was seen.
and will take the trail and search the
country for the missing man. 1t was
about 5 o'clock last evening that the man
supposed to be Hayes was seen at Home
| stake.
Under Sheriff Proebstel made a trip to
the vicinity of Woodville last night.
Word came in from Woodvlle yester-
! day that q man answering the descrip-
tion of Hayes called at Joe BertiS sa-
loon yesterday afternoon and asked for
something to eat. He asked to see q
morning paper, and his apparent eager
ness to ascertain the news from Butte
aroused the suspicious of the proprietor
of the place, but the visitor left before
he could be aDprehended. The deputies
from the sheriff's office returned from
Woodvile at midnight, after a fruitless
search.
Sheriff Furey is in Idaho at present,
having made trip there to bring back
an eloping couple from Meaderville. He
will return tomorrow. Meantime the
search for Hayes is being prosecuted
with vigor and stimulated by the hope
of reward many searchers are on the
lookout for the murderer. His capture
may be expected soon, or he may be sue
cessful in euding pursuit, as have many
other offenders against the law who
have gained a few hours start of peace
officers and eventually wore out their
pursuers and escaped.

Constantinople, Oct. 14.-It transpires
that the Turkish commander had COM
pleted plans to surround Miss Stones

tirement of the Turkish troops.
This was carried out, and the Bull

action has the unanimous approval Of
the members of the diplomatic corps, who
are convinced that efforts to liberate
Miss Stone will, infallibly, result in her
murder.

READING STRIKE CONFERENCE,
Railway Employees Appealed to in
Behalf of Idle Men.

Reading, May 2S.-There are indica-
tons that the strike of 1900 men of the
Reading Iron Company, inaugurated two
weeks ago, will be extended to the Read
ing Railway. Strike leaders give rs the
reason that George +. Baer is the prcsi-
dent Of both, and that one company con-
trolls the other. A conference of union
delegates along the Reading Railway
system was held in this city today for
the purpose Of helping the employees of
the Reading Iron Company win their
strike. Reports were presented showing
that majority of the shops were ready
to go out at twenty-four hours notice.
If their help was regarded as necessary.
1t was decided that no general move
ment toward calling out the men should
be made, on account of the Templar Con-
clave in Reading, but that when the
Sir knights have returned to their homes
an order to strike may be issued, if the
company does not come to terms, This
may he held off until Saturday, Sunday
or even Monday, as may be regarded
best by the leaders. No attempt may be
made to close the Reading Railway ma
chine shops here, as the membership Of
the union is not large there. A general
meeting of all city machinists, $500 in
all, has been called for tomorrow night to
strengthen the cause Of the strikers.
Organizer Flynn says:
1.-The amount in controversy is trifing
compared with the loss which the Read
ing Iron Company Is sustaining. 1t has
contracts which must be filed. know
