SLASHED HIS CLOTHING.
A Muskogee, |. T., Man Was
Robbed and Made to Stand
On His Head.

Muskogee, l. T., Oct. Pa rob-
berry occurred here last night that
for deviltry exceeded anything in the
history of the territory. William
Towne, an employee OF one of the
downtown restaurants, started home
about 8 o'clock. In the suburbs three
negroes sterpad out and drawing
pistols demanded his money. Town
was scared so badly he could do
nothing and the robbers went
through his pockets and got S22 05.
Then they drew raznrs and literally
cut Towne's clothing to pieces.
Across the breast and the back his
coat WAS made into carpet rags and
around the collar few fourishes
were made, evidently to see how
close they could come to the mans
neck without cutting his throat.
When they had tired OF this the
robbers made Towne stand on his
head, and while in this position they
proceeded to take off his shoes, which
one Of them was going to wear. Be
{ ire this was accomplished, however
q cab came in sight and the robbers
ran. No arrests have been made.

Norton, Kan, Oct, 29.-The News

shortly print photographs of the at
tractive young women of the town in
the hope OF drawing young business
men here. The N-ws claims that a
good looking girl will attract young
men sooner than business chances,
and that the town has the chances
as we'll as the women, but that the
the former are not so readily appre
ciated as the latter.

Lucid stars may be accompanied by
planets forming stellar systems similar

Corbin for the severity with which he

They do not like what he did then

staff when Chaffee retires.
When it was first proposed that he
should succeed Chaffee, his critics
called attention to the fact that the
new headship of the army was in
tended to be filled by a line and not
a staff officer, and that Corbin had
never commanded anything more
than a skeleton brigade during the
civil war and never more than a battal-
ion after that period. They set down
as automatic that no men who had
done less than command a depart

PACKERS REJECT
STRIKERS APPEAL
Application Made !! for Peace Par
ley-Labor Leaders Fight
Stampede.

made to the packers by the stock
yards strikers today for conference,
the purpose being to bring about
peace in the industrial conflict wag-
ing at Packingtown. The conference
was refused by the packers
The application came in the form
of communication from the allied
trades council, and was signed by
President Carr Of the Allied Trades.
The request was sent Immediately af-
ter the close of joint meeting of the
national executive board Of butcher
workmen, and the allied trades con-
ference board, and was addressed to
j. Ogden Armour and his associates.
Mr. Armour upon receipt Of the
communication at once called the
heads Of the other big packing
plants into session. When the meet
ing of the packers ended, commune
cation was addressed to President
Donnelly and his associates declin-s
ing the conference the strikers had
asked for. The reason given was
that no good could come from such
a conference.
With the strike relief funds depleted
and crowds of hungry men vainly
scrambling for food at the commissary
stores, itptaxed the labor leaders to
find way to prevent a stampede from
the union ranks to the packinghouses
to-day. @a
"Wait until tomorrow and we shall
present to the packers peace propo-
sal which they cannot decline to ac-
cept," they told the men.
''There is nothing left for the men
but unconditional surrender" said a
packer. '"The leaders should not hes
itate in calling the strike off SO that
the men who are anxious could find
work Many of them will be rehired
in Packington, but there are thous-
ands who must look elsewhere for en-
ployment and they should be released
so they can begin their hunt for work
outside the stockyards. 1t does not
make any difference what peace pro-
posal the strikers have to submit-we
Shall not deal with the unions. The
only terms of surrender we shall con-
slider will be the return of the men as
individuals"
The packinghouse teamsters will
meet tonight to discuss the advisa-
bility of declaring the strike off, 50 far
as they are concerned. George f..
Golden, president Of the union, said
that they would refuse to contribute
any more to the support of the 100000
| strikers.
