JETT SURPRISES SHERIFF
omceP Expected n Fight, but Alleged
Assassin Promptly SUR
renders.

LEXINGTON, KY. May 10.-The capture
Of Curtis Jett, charged with the assassina-
ton of j. B. Marcum in Jackson county,
was accomplished without bIoodshed at 8
o'clock Sunday morning. He is now in the
Clark county Jail at Winchester.
Bearing a warrant which had been
sworn out by Sam Jett, uncle of the ac-
cused, Sheriff McChord and a posse of
seven left Winchester at midnight Satur-
day. Reaching Jackson's Ferry. ten miles
distant at $3.50 a. p., they put away their
buggies and crgytyed the Kentucky river
to Madison councS In canoes They pro-
ceeded on foot to'"the home Of Mrs. A.
Haggin, Jetts mother, two miles from the
ferry. Six OF the posse were stationed
around the dwelling and Sheriff McChord
and Deputy stoke,ey approached the front
door and knocked. Jett's mother answered
and after some parley admitted that Curtis
was within. They were admitted and found
Jett awake but still In bed. He shook
hands with the sheriff and said that he
would give no trouble. Reaching under his
pillow he drew out his pistol and turned
1t over to his mother to keep. He made
no show of resistance and was landed in
jail at Winchester at 6 a. m.
Jetts stepfather, A. Haggin, charges that
when Jett reached his house last night
from Jackson he proceeded TO draw his
pistol on him and ordered him TO get out
of the nelghborhood. Haggin went to
Richmond and swore out a warrant charg-
ing Jett with breach of peace by assault
with a pistol.
The report that B. ]. Even was shot
at Jackson last night is untrue. EVEN was
with Marcum when the latter was assas-
sinated last Monday.
LOUISVILLE, KY. May 10.-Private tel
egrams received from Jackson and Lex
ington state that the report that an at
tempt had been made to assassinate J. B.
Even is untrue. A curious feature of the
affair transpired today when an interview
with Even was published by the Courier
journal. The correspondent published It
on receiving Information that Even was
dead. Even, according to the story re-
tracted his first interview feignlng inno-
cence of the assassins identity, given out in
the presence NJ n member Of the Hargis
faction. He told the reporter that he recog-
nized Marcum's assassin As Curtis Jett.
Even was standing near Marcum when the
shots were fired He made the second
statement with permission that It should
be published when he should be out OF
harms way"

NOT ON SYMPATHY STRIKE
Southern Pacific Boiler Makers De-
eide Not to Leave Their
Employment.

On specific promises Of concessions by
President z. II. Hartman and intervention
by Senator Mark A. Hanna, president OF
the Civic Federation, the Southern Pacific
boiler makers at the eleventh hour voted
not to strike this morning, as planned in
sympathy with the Union Pacific men.
This information came last night to Pres
ident Ed Kennedy of the local boiler max
ers in a telegram from Secretary-Treas
Giltharpe OF the International Brotherhood
of Boiler Makers and Iron Ship Builders,
who lives at Kansas City. The informa-
ton was conveyed to Mr.. Giltharpe in
telegram from District President McKeon
of the boiler makers on the Southern Pa
cifc.
This telegram states that, being advised
that the Southern Pacific boiler makers
were determined to strike this morning
despite their contract with the company
for a thirty-day notice preceding any such
action, President Hartman, who is now In
San Francisco, made the men the PROPOSE
ton that II they would not strike he would
pledge them that during his present incum-
bency piece work would never be intro
duced on the Souther Pacific, and that he
would confer with President John Mcneil
of the international brotherhood and any
others desirable next week as to a settle
ment Of all differences
Mr.. Harriman's proposition was accepted
by the Southern Pacific boiler makers and
so the strike is "oft." for the present.
Saturday, after the Southern Pacific
boiler makers had completed their vote to
strike and announced their purpose, SEN
ator Hanna wired them, urging that the
strike be deferred at least 'nfteen days, as
he, as president of the Civic Federation,
desired to bring the matter up for arbitra-
ton before that body, which meets Wednes-
day in New York for a session of several
days. Senator Hanna's proposition was not
finally accepted until President Hartman
rnada his IL Is understood.

police as attendants to the wagons. No
disturbances occurred. The ice was de-
livered by a company that has not signed
