TEAMSTER ROUTS GANG OF
GRADERS
Henry Miller overpowered by Detec
tlves After truegle-Accused
of Stabbing One of Fell
low Laborers

For two hours, Henry Miller, team
ster, held at bay the men of the Stans-
bury grading camp at First and Ram
part streets early last evening and ac-
cording to the police he stabbed Sam
Lane, fellow workman. Lane stag
gered off into the weeds after he had
been wounded and was found shortly
before 8 o'clock by Detectives Hawley
and Muphy and sent to the receiving
hospital, where it was found that he
was suffering from a deep cut in the
breast.
After attending to Lane, the officers
went to the grading camp, which they
found deserted. A search revealed that
the men had huddled into a small
Shanty, and when the detectives de-
manded that they open the door, they
refused, After some time the police
were able to allay the fears of the
men and the officers were admitted.
All Imperative order to throw up their
hands caused the men gathered about
the officers to run, and turning, the
detectives saw Miller with what they
supposed to be rifle pointed at them.
In another instant the three were
struggling and before much time had
elapsed Miller was in irons. He was
brandishing the long butcher knife
with which he is supposed to have
stabbed Lane. His hand and head were
cut and his face was smeared with
blood.
The graders say that after cutting
Lane, Miller attempted to attack the
other men in the camp. Finding them
huddled in a room he attempted to
butt the door down with his head.
He then cut his hand and smeared
his face with blood. The graders be-
lieve that Miller was crazed with drink.

Upon Time of Halves and Game

Coaches Holmes of the university and
Roesch of the high school, with Man
ager Demens, met last night and failed
to reach an agreement concerning a
game between their teams.
Roesch and Demens held out for
fifteen-minute halves on the Fiesta

would not accede. He agreed, however,
to play twenty-minute halves on the
Fiesta gridiron or fifteen minute halves
on the university campus. The con-
ference came to an end with the ques-
tion unsettled and the chances of a
game between the two elevens are not
bright.
The game was scheduled to be played
