Tragedy Occurs at Dixie Coal Mines
Over a Board Bill and jealousy
of Mans Wife.
Five Bullets Fired in Drunken Melee and One
Fatally Wounds TuIock, the Ball Entering
the Body.

A small board bill caused murder
at Dixie coal mines two miles south
OF the city Saturday night. The vic.
tim is Alex Tulock and the murderer
Frank Golick, both Slavs.
The parties TO the tragedy and other
Stavs had been drinking and they
quarreled. The payment or rather
non-payment OF the board bill owed by
Tulock to Gollck, who keeps board
ing house, played the prominent part
in the affair but IL is stated that the
murderer was prompted to the deed
by jealousy OF his wife. The bill was
small, the murdered man having
boarded there only since December.
The shooting occurred about IL O'Clock
at night. Golick fired five shots at
his victim but only one took effect.
The ball entered the body just below
the right nipple. The other bullets
narrowly escaped hitting other mem
bers OF the party.
Immediately after the shooting Go
lick fed from his home and was last
seen going toward the Weston road.
He has not as yet been located and, OF
course, not arrested.
DR.. Kornman was summoned and
gave the wounded man medical atten-
tion. He was removed to the HI rri-
son County Hospital Sunday and died
there at 6 O'Clock Monday morning.
The remains were brought to the
Clifford. Osborn Undertaking cStab-
llshment, where Coroner w. T.. Camp
began an inquest Monday afternoon at
3o'clock.
The coroner's jury was composed OF
S. F. Reed, C. a. Waldo, w. c. Nor
rison, Samuel W. Gordon, David Bum.
gardner and w. S. Law.
DR.. Kornman testified that he was
called to the mine at o'clock Sunday
morning. He found him shot and
bleeding. He found the several SIavs
in the shanty drunk and from what he
could learn from them the trouble
was over board bill. Five shots were
fired, according to their story, and the
third took effect. The only word of
English he spoke was water from
the time of the shooting to his death
at 6:2O Monday morning. He was con-
scious all the time. The intention in
taking him to the hospital was to op-
crate on him but his condition was
too serious.
Joe Snider, Siav, testified that he
did not know the dead mans name.
Had known him only three weeks.
About 1880 heard,the people in a
shanty yelling and he and his room

POLITICAL HOROSCOPE

pleasant jaunt.

WESTERN RAILROADS.

NEW YORK, September 12.-(Special)-
Stephen Little. the railroad expert, has
just returned from a months inspection
of western railroad accounting. He says:
Il go over the same field every year, and
! never before saw such a prosperous
West. I can scarcely understand it. The
railroads are crowded with passengers as
never before. The extra passenger trains
on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
the Denver and Rio Grande, and other
western roads are simply blocking the
freight traffic. and it is difficult to get
freight through between the Increased
number of passenger trains Everybody
seems on the go. One of the leading ho-
tells in Denver had to refuse accommo-
dalton to two hundred applicants in a
single day, and Eastern millionaires have
been bothered to find a nights lodging in
big western cities. I attribute the pros
perity and unprecedented freight and pas
senger traffic to the great harvests we are
gathering, and the crops, after all, the
basis of real wealth. But the travel is
not only west, it is from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.
when I came through Pittsburg and
saw the record of 265, 900 pieces Of baggage
handled In Pittsburg in the month of Au-
guest, which was $4,000 more than the
highest previous monthly record. I was

well nigh universal in this country

THE WABASH is STILL OUT.
Trunk Line officials Afraid to Let
Goulds Into Territory.

NEW YORK, September 12-(Special)
There is no change in the situation of
Wabash and the other Gould roads east
of the Mississippi SO far as regards their
prospects for Atlantic connections. Peo-
pie who know the sentiment of the Goulds
on this point are almost unanimous in
their statements that the Goulds have
no expectation at the present, time of
getting trunk line connections with the
Seaboard north of Baltimore.
Trunk line officials say that the situa-
ton in trunk line territory does not admit
of the admission of q new factor so pow
erful as would be the Gould line. It has
taken years to reach the present situation
in this part of the railroad world and the
admission of new trunk line here would
require a complete readjustment OF the
whole trunk line situation with all the
disturbances and troubles that would Ger
tainly be consequent on such a sweeping
change.
The position so far as Wabash is con-
cerned can be stated very simply. The
Wabash enters Buffalo at the present time
over Erie tracks and all the trunk lines
covering at that point In return for this
traffic. Wabash receives from all the lines
a fair share of their westbound freight.
Under the presidency of Mr.. Ramsay,
Wabash has secured with all of these
lines a relationship that is as friendly as
nossibIe and that is most profitable TO
Wabash. This relationship has taken time

The Richmond public, as they thronged
to the circus last night. refreshing them
selves with peanuts and pink lemonade,
giving free rein to that feeling of pleasure
which circuses arouse in man regardless
Of age, sex or race. little knew how near
they came to walking home through
streets of Plutonian darkness.
But for the prompt action Of Superin-
tendent E. w. Trafford Of the light de-
partment OF the Virginia Passenger and
Power Company, in laying off the negroes
working on the line until a conference
could be held with President Sitterding
at II o'clock this morning, the members
of the Brotherhood Of Electrical Work
ers would have in all probability gone on
a strike, and the city would have found
itself in the above condition.
EFFORTS OF A COMMITTEE.
A committee appointed several weeks
ago to confer with Mr. Stterdng on the
matter of the removal Of the negroes on
line work had made repeated efforts to
see him without success. At a meeting
Wednesday night this committee was in
structed to either see the officials and get
some statement or else order out every
electrical worker employed by the COM
pany. They spent the better part of the
day in a search, and finally got an au-
dencc with Mr.. Trafford, and he con-
sented to lay off the negroes until Mr..
Sitterding could be seen.
The committee, which was composed
of Messrs. View and Clarke, told Mr..
Trafford that if they made a statement
as to what their instructions were, If
the demands were not complied with, he
could have them put In jail.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
The whole trouble arises over the en-
ploynent of negroes as linemen. There
is no objection to their working on the
ground. A man has to learn the trade
and work his way up before he can be
lineman. and there is a union wage-scale
which requires linemen to be paid $3.50
per day. The negroes work for less and
put the white man out of job.
If Mr.. Sitterding follows the action of
Superintendent Trafford and lays the ne
gro workmen off, the matter, as far as the
light department is concerned. is settled.
If not. strike will probably follow.
Negroes are also employed in the trolley
department, and no doubt remains that
concessions will soon have to be made
there by the company in the interest of
harmony.
