Of fishing seemed the best-usually

 The difficulty that has been brewing more or less for some time in rath- CT quiet way between w. R. Norton and the carpenters union finds it's continuation in the action of the union Thursday night in voting to strike in all the buildings in which Mir Nor ton is interested.
 These include the new county court house, the Trust building, the post cffice building and the building being erected by Messrs. Toombs. Newman and Butler-in fact. about all the i'm portant structures of the city
 It is pretty difficult matter to get at the merits of the case, or just the grounds on which the union takes its action. It is admitted by the union men that they are paid union wages, that thir treatment is not to be com piained Of. and so it is difficult to con ceive how the union is aggrieved.
 But aggrieved they evidently are. since such summary and unqualified action as declaring a strike has been resorted to.

A Mexican whose identity was not established until today, died at the ca'unet hospital this morning at 2:30 o'clock from wounds received last evening about o'clock when he was rIIn down in the Southwestern yards, while drunk and totally unable to ap- Dreciate his danger, by a switch el- zine. Both legs were badly crushed by the engine and at the hospital both were amputated, the right one at the Fnee and the left one below the knee. The man, drunk at the time of the ac- cident, and later placed under the in- fluence of anesthetics, never regained consciousness.
 The accident occurred just in the rear of the Y. N. C. A. Shortly before the Mexican was observed by Fore man E. Grove. It was seen that he was drunk and the foreman had him removed from the yards. The switch engine which struck the Mexican was in charge of Engineer Bodenheimer and was pulling twelve cars. It is supposed that the Mexican was crawl ing along the track.
