clue to the location of the missing
money may be found.

ExuIt-Every Building Trade Union
in Chicago Has Renewed Their Con-
tracts for Year, Except Iron Workers

The opening of the out-of-door con-
struction season finds New York, both
city and state, without prospect OF
serious labor troubles. In the building
trades especially prosperous and re-
assuring conditions prevail. There is a
large and well-met demand for both
skilled and unskilled labor, due to the
extensive private construction projects
now under way and the tunnels and
other undertakings of a public or semi
public nature. This contentment is
generally reflected in the manufacture
ing and industrial centers and beyond
few localized and sporadic strikes,
the labor situation is regarded as
brighter than for many years.

The WELLINGTON MURDER

The officers of this county are still
busy trying to find the man who COM
mitted the dastardly murder at Yelling
ton last week. So far they have failed
to locate the man. Public Administrator
Johnson, of Dayton, was in Yerington
last Sunday, returning to Dayton from
the scene of the murder. He has Sc
cured evidence that will undoubtedly
hang the man who committed the deed
if he is ever caught. The suspect is a
man who worked in blacksmith shop
i'll Yerington for few days week or
two before the murder, and his name is
supposed to be George Smart This man
left Yerington and went to Wellington
the day before the murder was commit
ted. He left cap near the body of the
murdered man which can be identified
and he also took new pair of shoes
from the feet of the dead man, throwing
his own on top of shed close by These
shoes can be identified by the men in the
shop in which he worked while in Yer
ington. A water bottle with a string
around the neck of it, will also play a
part in convicting the man if he is
caught. A peculiar thing about the af-
fair is that nobody can tell who the mur-
dered man is. Not person in Smith
