"The packers C mmIttee went over the
ground thoroughly with them. 1t is un-
derstood that Messrs Morton, Shamp and
Wall indicated that they had not up to
this time, fully understood the matter.
and upon the showing made by the pack
ers' committee admitted that the right
was on the side of the packers. AS a re-
suit of the investigation made 1t Is not
thought that the stationary firemen will
srike.
I'VE still hope the packers will make
a little concession In return ( r all we
have made.' said President Donnelly to-
day Men still at work are anxious 10

Marauding Tramp

PurSuerS.
Kills Idaho Deputy Sheriff
and Fatally Hurts
Another.
Finally WOundedand Arrested Militia
After His Companions, Who Will
Be LynGhed II Captured.

BLACKFOOT, Idaho, Sept. 25.-As a
result OF an attempt to hold up a Jap
anese section gang here at o'clock
to-day. Deputy Sheriff E. P. Sweet
was killed. Section Foreman W E.
Fitzgerald probably fatally wounded
and an unknown tramp, one Of the
robbers. fatally wounded.
The deputy sheriff was summoned
from his Office to apprehend two
tramps who were attempting. to9flold
UP the japanese section men. Sweet,
accompanied by Fitzgerald, approached
the section house. when one of the des-
peradoes, with revolver in his hand.
beckoned Sweet TO enter. AS the depu-
~ crossed the threshold the holdup
fired at close range, and, striking the
deputy in the forehead, he fell forward
on his face into the house, the wound
proving fatal within an hour. The
robber then sprang over the PROSTATE
body Of the deputy and with an oath
started after Fitzgerald, who ran for
the adjoining section house, a short
distance away, which he reached and
locked the door behind him. After fir
ing two shots through the door the
rObber broke the door down, and, cor
nering Fitzgerald, shot him three times,
beat him into insensibility with the
weapon. He then sprang through a
window and started up the railroad
track toward the town.
A number of citizens. attracted by
the fusillade, armed with guns, sur
rounded the robber. Taking refuge be-
hind cars and other obstructions, they
opened fire on the desperate, who re-
turned the fire, firing at everybody that
showed in sight. Finally Deputy Sher-
if Kinney, with a shotgun loaded with,
buckshot, brought tho robber to earth.
During the melee the holdup's two
companions escaped in the gathering
darkness. A posse of citizens and mem
bers of Company F of the State Mill
tia, are now in pursuit. Great excite
ment prevails and unless the despera-
does are successful in eluding pursuit
they probably will be lynched by the
enraged people.
