MYSTERY OF THE PLAINS

Guthrie 0. It. July "a special dis
patch tonight from Alava, the county
seat of Woods county. states that there
are no new developments in the mysteri-
Gus murder case, near Prudence, in the
southeastern part of the county. Great
interest is m anifested and the sheriff 5
office is taking every measure to appre-
bend the slayer OF the family. The people
were strangers in the vicinity and the re-
Fort that the.5 were travelling overland in
a wagon becomes stronger from addi-
tional investi cation.
Their nude condition was a battling at
tempt TO prevent Identification, and so
far it has succeeded. There is no~trace
Of either their wagon or team. The man
and women were aged apparently in the
thirties and the children were about or
s, the>elder being a girl, the other a boy.
The bodies were buried soon after being
found. as they were then in an advanced
state of decomposition. The sheriff may

the slayers, bat the chances are that the
crime is another of the tragedies of the
plains-never to be solved. The country
where the crime was committed is sparse

The Eagle was in communication with
Alva last night and the disposition there

DEvEsHA WAS DISCHARGED
Was Acting in Self Defense When
He Killed Fitzpatrick.

Chickasha, J. T., July 9.-The prelimi-
nary trial of Yves Devasha for the muir
der of Robert Fitzpatrick was begun
yesterday morning in Judge Payne's
court.
Several witnesses were examined. the
trend of their testimony showing that a
man by the name of Avert was drunk
and creating disturbance and that Fitz-
patrick and Devasha became involved in
a quarrel which appears to have been
general.
W T. Phelps of Norman, o. T., was
perhaps the strongest witness for the
prosecution and his testimony was sub
stantially as follows:
Heard Devasha remark that McAlester
was the best man there Of his size
Avert was drunk and raising trouble
Fitzpatrick came up with his hand on
his gun. Devasha backed away with his
pistol pointing TO the ground. Devasha
warned crowd not to press him. Avert
was following him and threatening him.
Somebody caught and held him, and then
Fitzpatrick rushed up asking:
who did you say was the best man on
the grounds"
Devasha said Joe McAlester.
Fitzpatrick then started away. but
turned and rushed back to Devasha,
ordering him to drop his gun, firing as he
finished
Devasha returned the fire and Fitzpat-
rick fell.
VIII Fitzpatrick then took his brothers
gun and attempted TO shoot but the gun
failed to work.
At the evening session of court sew
eral witnesses testified
Upon conclusion of the testimony at
torneys for both sides presented their
views to the court. Judge Payne weighed
tho evidence carefully and at 10 o'clock
p. m. discharged the prisoner. the evil
dence very apparently showing that he
could not be convicted.

'SIR|EE IS SETTLED
All Freight Handlers viii Re-
turn to Work Today
IF TERMS ARE RATIFIED
Strikers Will Accept What
TheyfRefuSed July |.

Chicago, July e.-The strike Of the
freight handlers is virtually settled. Meet
ings OF the strikers viii be held tomor-
row 10 raufy the action taken tonight
by President Curran of the order. but
inasmuch az he stated tonight. after d
conference with the general managers
Of the railroads, that he agreed to their
terms because the majority OF his men
were going back" on him, there is little
doubt that the terms viii be accepted by
the mass meeting Of the strikers tomor
row. By. the terms Of the settlement the
Strikers accept the schedule Of wages
offered them By the railroads on July l.
This schedule was enphaucally refused
by the strikers at the time it was made.
It offered an average increase Of % per
cent for all classes Of labor connected
with the Freight Handlers union. The
demands Of the men would have made
an average increase of about 80 per cent.
The railroads at the time of offering the
increase, July I, said that under no cir
curnstances would they recognize the
union of the freight handlers TO the ex-
tent Of allowing the officers of the or
ganizato to make terms for the men
with the officers Of the railroads by
which they were employed. This was
one of the chief reasons for the strike,
the men insisting that the union should
be fully recognized.
The railroads have won a complete vic
tory on this point The attitude OF the
roads toward the Freight Handlers un-
ion is the same as that maintained tow
ard all labor organizations of railroad
men. The freight handlers demanded
something that no other organization of
railroad employees in Chicago had asked
and thu managers announced that under
no circumstances would they agree to
this President Curran OF the Freight
Handlers union said after the meeting
with the railroad managers tonight that
he had practically been compelled by his
own men 10 accept the terms Of the road.
''Two-thirds of them would have gone To
work in the morning, anyhow" he said
and it was simply a question Of doing
the best possible under the circumstances
The railroads agree TO take back all the
strikers who apply for their former po-
sitions by noon tomorrow"
The action Of the teamsters was
potent factor in settling the strike. they
took strong issue with the freight han
dlers and minated very plainly that no
assistance could be expected from them.
irasmuch as the freight handlers had
struck against the advice Of the Chicago
Federation OF Labor
The agreement reached by President
Curran with the managers tonight must
be ratified by the men tomorrow, but
there is only a small probability that
this will not be done

ALL TRAFFIC SUSPENDED
Union Pacific in Kansas Suffering
From High Water

Topeka. Kan. July 9.-The Union Paci-

Blue Valley line, north of Manhattan
and the branch north of Concord.a on
account OF the high water. The Santa
Fe is having much trouble on the north
ern end Of the Strong City branch.
which runs from Strong City TO Superior,
Neb. The Republican river is on a ram
page there, and is higher than 1t has ever
been known to be. A great deal of track
on the branch is under water but none
has yet been washed out. The Fremont.
Elkhorn and Missouri Valley line which
connects with the Santa Fe at Superior
is also in bad shape, and cannot get its
trains through.
Reports received by the Santa Fe here
are not very encouraging. A general
rain has prevailed today over the entire
middle and western divisions of the road.
and trouble is being experienced in get
ting trains through on time.
The Kansas river at this place is very
