The three boys for sometime have been
boon companions and were out hunting.
The only gun i'll the party was owned
by Flory. who allowed the others to share
in the shooting from time to time. A
dispute arose as to whose turn it was to
use the gun, and Flory settled the ques-
ton by taking it himself. whereupon
Murphy said:
Your old gun is no good. It's like
You. you dirty pup"
The words were scarcely out of Muir
phys mouth when Flory fired at him
point blank The charge took effect in
Murphy's abdomen, almost disembowel-
ing him. johnson was severely wounded
about the lower part of the body by part
of tho charge which went by Murphy.
Flory fled. leaving the wounded john

for aid When arrested Flory said to the
officers: eyes, he called me names and

him the gun was empty and he only

of the Strikers Join the Union, but the
Italians Refuse to Join. as They Say They
Have Been Sold Out by the Union.

Trinidad, Col. (SpeciaD.-It is now
evident that the strike OF the coal min
ers in the first district of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company is no small
affair. In fact, it is strike out of all
proportions to that even hoped for by
the officers OF the United Mineworkers
of America, and ten times what was
looked for by the coal operators.
At a meeting of superintendent and
pit bosses held in the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Offices, at Trinidad, reports
enough men go out to cause shut

can be found in the whole district to

early. At Starkvillc alone OF the

Peadmont, the new Rocky Mountain
Fuel Company men took their tools
home.
All day the chiefs and miners have
been swarming into Trinidad, nearly
all of them having their pay checks,
running from $IS7 down. The checks
were for such amounts that business
men could not cash them, and, hence,
lost thousands of dollars in trade. All
day long the miners have been joining

that organization to prevent any pos

and nonunion men, estimated that at

any extent, giving as their reason that

prefer to go out OH their own RESPONSE

CLARK WINS GREAT SUIT.
Montana Senator Awarded Timber Land
Worth S2,000,000.

Butte, Mont. (SpeciaD.-The great
timber suit brought by the United
States against Senator William A.
Clark, involving timber land in the
Bitter Creek Valley, Western Mon
tana, to the value of 100000, was
settled by Judge Knowles, OF the Unit
cd States District Court, in favor of
Senator Clark.
Judge Knowles finds that Mr.. Clark
was guiltlcss of irregular purchase of
lands and innocent of illegal registra-
ton OF the same if such Irregularities
existed. Judge Knowles critcises the
testimony OF Witness Griswold for the
Government, whose reputation, the de-
cison alleges, is none of the best and
who many other witnesses testified had
approached them i'll behalf of the Gov
crnmcnt. The case is the most famous
timber land action ever tried in the
West.
