neighbors have given him Of jacobson.
Stewart claims that George Schartf
had a Winchester in his hands while the
parley was going on between him and
the crowd Of men and that while he did
not at any time assume a threatening
attitude with it, the fact that he held it
in his arms during the time the house
was moved and the interior destroyed,
made him fearful for his life ii he made
any resistance. After the thing was over
Stewart claims he was approached by
Schartf, who told him that the gang had
said for him (Schartf) to hold Stewart
up and that he had to do it.
After making Stewart leave the prem
ises the crowd locked the gates to the
entrance to the ranch and told him they
were through with him unless he should
come again.

OTHER SIDE.
Raachmen Claim They Were Preserving Prop
erty Against Claim Jumper.

II
The five men who are made defendants
to charge Of rioting appeared before
Justice Hawthorne yesterday morning.
Their story Of the proceedings, ID which
they admit having taken an active part,
shows that they were simply defending
young Olson ia what We're considered
his rights to the land ia question. They
claim that the land was originally held
by Plummer, Olson,s brother. .in-law,
and that when survey was made It
was found that he was holding more
land than he could under the law. Then
it was that Olson took possession Of the
ranch and Of the Improvements that had
been made thereon. He was. they claim,
Of full age at the time.
They claim, too, that when the eight
men waited upon Stewart he told them
he would vacate ii he had a team and
that Plummer offered to come next day
and move him. and that when later
I, written demand for him to vacate
Stewart had several men in the house
and said that it any attempt was made
to eject him somebody would suffer for
it.
While they admit that Scharf had Il
Winchester with him the afternoon in
question they assert that he was out
hunting rabbits and that the crowd
caught up with him while he was thus
armed and that he did not think it
necessary to lay aside the gun while he
accompanied them. They claim there
was no intimidation Of Stewart with the
Winchester and this the young man
himself admits in his story of the affair
They claim that Olson was a poor boy
who could i'll afford to go TO law to pre-
serve his rights to the ranch and that
they decided to assist him in protecting
his rights against q Jumper, and that
they had no other object in view. As te
the destruction Of the log cabin, the,
claim that the windows and doors were
removed to save them, rather than tt
destroy the house, and that throughout
their work, Notwithstanding some yer.
strong language was used toward then
by both Stewart and his wife, the.
treated the trespasser courteously, al
though at the same time firmly insisting
s upon their course after once starting il
; on it.
1t is claimed by the men who oustet
; Stewart that he at one time tried t
5 Jump r. o. Morris ranch. in the sam
5 locality, and that he is an adventure
s and bad actor.

Acros AND SANDWICH vENOER.
A Lively Scrimmage Between An Actor and a
Negro at the Depot.

There was excitement of the bff, bifr
order at the depot yesterday morning.
Some members of "Reaping the Har-
vest" company alighted from the early
westbound train and purchased sand
wiches from the negro boy who sells for
Wright's lunch stand. One of these,
when pies and sandwiches were exhaust
ed cried to the boy Give me my change
This he said was 40 cents. The boy de-
clared he had given it and the actor
said nay.
Down went the boys waiter and the
two went together in lively mix up A
crowd collected and while the actors took
their comrades side sonae who saw the
transaction said they had seen the
change returned, and the spectators
thought it was a put up job.
There was hot discussions all around
and the gesticulations of the irate actor
led one gentleman to tell him that if he
shook his finger at him he would cat him
up quicker than the actor had swallowed
the pies. 1t looked as if there was to be
a Donnybrook Fair set to between actors
and the other people, but 'all aboard
and the departing train ended the I'M
developed riot.

Cow, ntion May Delay DR.. Tyree.

Rev. DR.. W. c. Tyree, of Durham, who
was in the city Thursday evening and
left for home yesterday morning, may
not be able to enter upon his duties as
pastor of the First Baptist church here
until after the first of December. He
had expected to enter upon his new
work ON November first.
He told friends here that the Baptist
State Convention meets with his church
n Durham about the first of December
and his congregation there are very
anxious for him to remain until after
that body holds its session. 1t is not
absolutely settled yet, but it is said
that DR.. Tyree may ask the church here
to let him delay his coming to R@eigh
for one month. While this would be :,
great dsa appointment to the members,
still they understand that DR.. Tyree
might not feel justified in leaving his
church on the eve of a large convention
TO be held there.

AN IDEAL PERFORMANCE.
The Tyranny of Tears" One Of the Best Pro.
auctions Ever Seen Here.

Without the slightest attempt to ex7
aggerate it is noted with pleasure that
1.-The Tyranny OF Tears" as produced by
Mr.. Paul Gilmore's splendid company
last night at the Academy of Music, is
entitled to rank among the best plays a
Raleigh audience has seen.
1t is a play founded on a study of tenn
permanent There are no heroics, no
spectacular stage settings, no clap trop
about it. It's success depends upon the
caste, and for smoothnees of presenta-
ton, for effectiveness of players. it won
pronounced success. 1t is a heart to
heart play. 1t teaches lesson that men
and women should learn. Without strain
ed situations it's terseness swept and
held the audience.
The caste must be commended through
out for they deserve it. Each fitted in
the proper niche. Miss Grace Hobart
Hanson divided the honors with Mr.. Gil
more. The Academy should have been
packed, and should the play be repeated

The President Can Do No Mere.
(By the Associated Press

Washington Oct. 10.-Close advisers of
the President. who have conferred with
him over the coal situation, said tonight
that in their opinion there was no further
action the administration could take on
it's own initiative to bring the strike to
an end. They say the administration is
ready to do whatever is possible, but that
ticable. They scout the idea of resort
to the Antitrust Law. and say that no
such step is contemplated, as action can
not be had under that measure against
the interests involved in the strike
President Roosevelt had a consultation
with Commissioner OF Labor Wright to-
day. The President spoke of the great
seriousness of the situation. but gave no
intimation of any further steps looking
to settlement. which he had in mind.
He again inquired about the arbitration
act of 1898. which he had once before
discussed with Mr. Wright to satisfy
himself that it applied only to common
carriers and not Industrial corporation.
After Mr.. Wright had explained the law,
the President appeared convinced tina t
there was no chance for interference
through it's instrumentality.

New York, Oct. 1O.-After two days of
conference between the anthracite coal
mine operators on one side, and the Gov
ernor and Senior Senator of New York,
and the two Senator'S from Pennsylvania,
on the other. the strike of the United
Mine Workers of America is apparently
as far from settlement as the day is
was declared.
tors the proposition that if they would
concede to the miners an advance of 8
cents ton in the price paid for mining
coal he would promise that the miners
would resume work. Being told further
that the concession would carry with 1T
recognition of the miners union, the
operators promptly refused to entertain
the proposal and took their leave. Later
In the day they and the Pennsylvania
Senators left the city.
John Mitchell, president of the mine
workers announced his intention of leav-
ing the city early tomorrow morning,
his destination being Wilkesbarre. Mr..
Mitchell took no part in any of the con-
ferences of yesterday and today he being
in New York. it is understood in order
that he might be within reach should the
negotiations reach a stage where his
decision for the miners would be re-
CURED.
Governor Odell feels that he has done
all that it is possible for him to do.
under existing laws, toward bringing
about a termination of the strike. He
would not say tonight whether or not it
was his intention to call the State Leg
islature in extraordinary session to con-
slider the enactment of law under which
the contention between the coal opera
tors and the miners might be brought
to an end. That the Governor said, was
something he would not discuss at this
time.
