Denver. April 12.-The Rio Grande
railroad reached an agreement with its
engineers and firemen yesterday on
the wage question. At e final confer
ence between Manager Edison and the
engineers committee yesterday after
noon it was agreed that engineers and
Hremen should receive an increase of
wages of five per cent for those on or
binary or simple engines. and seven
and one-half per cent. for those on
compound engines.
The original demand of the engine
men was for an increase of fifteen per
cent. for simple and twenty per cent.
for compound engines. This the Off
cials refused to grant, claiming that
the wages of the engineers and fire.
men were already higher than those
of any other class of employees. The
question was discussed back and forth
for weeks. and it was only after the
settlement had been reached with the
conductors and brakemen a week ago
that the enginemen and the company
officers began to get together. Every
thing was finally arranged IN a way
satisfactory to both sides.

charged with the shooting of Meenan
and that the other defendants will be
tried as accessories.
1t was brought out at the coroner's
inquest that most of the men now un-

of Joseph Meenan. although these
threats were made at the time of the
killing of John Irwin by Joseph Nee

high.
One of the questions most frequently
heard here is: Where was Perry Tut

Sunday following. Perry Tuttle.
