Murder as a means of furthering the
ends Of burglary was attempted carly yes
terday morning: shree shots were tired
at Policeman Wyatt, alta distance OF
some eight or ten feet, but neither toels

is "a greater mystery to him than any
one else.

robberiess which have taken Mace Wlthln
the last three days. One of these was t
NO 316 East Leigh Street, and the others
consisted in the breaking Of showcases
In front Of stores on Main and Broad

the sidewalk, and steps lead down TO 1t
from the gate entrance. Yesterday abot1t
< o'clock policeman Wyatt was pass
inp there. when he thought he saw some-
tl,ine. move inside the yard. directly IN

revolver directly in front of him.
Instantly Mr.. Wyatt drew his revolver
and pointed it, and as he did SO there
came another report, followed instantly
by a third. Realizing that the man who
had fired was concealed behind tho wall
of tho areaway and that to go forward
would be practically certain death as
the darkness kept him from seeing more
than a few inches in front of him. Mr.
Wyatt stepped out to the sidewalk, not
having fired his revolver, and raped for
assistance.
Together Policemen Wiltshire and Wy

joined them by this time. An investiga-
ton Immediately showed how the burg

back door open and through this they
went into the alley. The detectives are

8 INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 2o.3The
United Mine Workers are making prepa-
rations for a contest with the United
States Circuit Court Of Virginia, and &C
ton may be taken next week. "a few
days ago the Judge Of the district, sitting
at LSnchburg, Va. found JoEin Haddov.
Of Iowa, and w. H. Weber, OF Illinois,
national organizers of the miners, guilty
of contempt of court, and gave each
a six months' Jail sentence. The finding
Of the court was that these men fa d
violated an order restraining them from
efforts to unionize the miners.
S Secretary Wilson says the organize ton,
if5necessary. will employ the best scoun-
sci in the United States to fight for the
release Of the two men. The matter will
probably fbe taken up at the meeting of
the National Executive Board IN this city
April 1th. .sasE
The court, ilson says, issued an sir,-
junction against the organizers on the
! round that the mine work GERS, organiza-
ton wanted to unionise the Virginia nln-
sers,3 merely for he purpose % aidings the
organization IN the hern Statessin
ats struggle and q that. accordin gly. the

Members of the Board whose terms do
not expire at this time are Messrs. Allen.
Bahen. Beck, Burton. Gordon, Mann,
Whittet and Wood.
Some of the present committees have
done specially good work, notably the
Streets Committee, which has constructed
the Lee District sewers and built many
streets and sidewalks; the Grounds and
Buildings Committee, which is having
the new Jail built, and which has inn
proved the parks of the city wonderfully,
ana the James River Improvement Com
mlttee. This latter committee has as its
chairman Captain w. II. Curtis, one of
the most active members OF the Council.
AS member Of the Street Committee he
mas done much to- improve the streets
OF his ward and OF the whole city AS
chairman OF the Committee for ths Inn
proven1ent Of James River he has en-
deavored to induce the general Gov
ernment to make such an appropriation
as Will not only improve it as a high
way OF trade and travel to the sea, bu;
great benefit to the city by enaollng
the sh1pbuildins interests to increase its
business, thereby giving employment to
more citizens.

Ihe general Offices are not being sought
after With the usual vigor In a number
OF instances there is no opposition The
hght Tor the mayoralty has been a most
UNDUE and interesting one. Mayer Tay-
lors opponent, "a plain Carlton Mccarthy.
mas conducted q strenuous canvass, and it
was stated early in the campaign that he
would win with ease. Things have
changed around some and his chances do
not appear as bright as they did at first.
and it is quite likely that the Mayor will
succeed himself for another term at least
FOR sheriff and city sergeant the In
cumbents have. most active opposition.
Sheriff Hughes and Mr.. John E. Epps
are conducting their canvass along diff
ferent lines. and for the city scrssantcy
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Claiborne Epps are
running q pretty race. rs
4 There is. taking it all through, greater
interest manifested in the election OF this
spring than for a long time. and with
the coming week, the closing one of the
campaign. the watch fires will burn long.
and brightly.
The Workingmen's Club meets to-mor-
row night at Whalen's Hall, and the
other clubs will meet at their usual hours
and places.
On Saturday night the campaign will
wind up with at least tl1rce big mass
meetings, one at tho Academy Of Music,
for the mayoralty candidates, another at
Masonic Temple, under the auspices or
Lee Ward Club. and the third at Belvi-
dere Hall, under the auspices of the Clay
Ward Actives.
Marshall Ward Club. Madison Club,
Monroe Ward Club, the Old Dominion Club
