JACKSONVILLE, Ohio, April TO-
In fight here tonight four people
were fatally and one seriously shot.
The fatally wounded are: Mrs. Henry
Skrotsky, Charles Riley, Charles Coch-
ran and Seth Tinkham. The seriously
wounded is Henry Hoblett.
The fight occurred in q saloon of
Which Mrs. Skrotsky is proprietor. To-
night large crowd assembled in the
saloon for an evening of card playing
and drinking. Tinkham and Hoblett,
as partners, were playing Riley and
Cochran, who were badly beating their
companions. Presently Tinkham threw
down his cards, declaring he had been
cheated. He pulled his revolver, his
three companions followed suit and the
four began to shoot at each other at
arms length.
A dozen shots were fired and when
their weapons We're emptied four men,
three dying, lay in pools of blood, while
Mrs. Skrotsky, shot through the breast,
accidentally, lay behind the bar. She
and Tinkham cannot survive the night.

PRESIDENT CASTRO
STANDS BY BOWEN
Remainder of the Venezuelan Proto
coils Will Probably Be Ready Soon

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10
News was received here today from
Venezuela that President Castro will
remain firm and sustain Herbert Bow
en-, Venezuela's plenipotentiary in the
attitude he has taken respecting the
settlement of the claims against Ven
ezuela and in favor of referring the
question of preferential treatment of
the blockading powers to The Hague
for determination
The same statement contained the
information that no overtures have
been made to President Castro directly
by the representatives of the allied
governments for settling the contro-
versy, but overtures with this object in
view have been made to the govern
ment by some financial syndicates.
Mr.. BowenNhas opposed bitterly any
settlement through financial syndi-
Gates and President Castro has sus-
tanned him. 1t is believed by Mr..
Bowen that, now this matter is set
tied, the protocols remaining to be
agreed on prior to a reference to The
Hague will be concluded before very
long.

strike is contemplated on the L roads.
Any member of this division who
makes such a statement does so to
mislead the public. We are making a
fight for better conditions, but are doing
it on a business basis. The company
has been more than fair in meeting us
half way on this proposition, and there
is no doubt that the matter will be
settled to the satisfaction of all. We
have given no ultimatum TO the COM
pany that they mU&t do so and so by
a certain time, and the question Of
striking has not been brought up at
any of the meetings"
