WESTERN UNION TO
GIVE UP GRACEFULLY
WILL GRANT INCREASED PAY
TO OPERATORS-STR
END IN SIGHT.

NEW YORK, Oct 21.-What was
regarded by the striking telegraph
ers as an indication that the Western
Union was about to settle the strike
in an unusual way came to the sur
face tonight when Superintendent e.
M. Mulford of that company announc-
ed that the double pay it had been
giving its strikebreakers since the be-
ginning of the fight would be dis
continued, and that there would be
established at the same time scale
of wages much better than those pre-
vailing before the strike.
The Western Union hereafter will
pay its operators in the city double
for all overtime work.
At the close of a letter milford
sent to his district superintendents he
said the management of the company
had under consideration a means of
expressing it's appreciation of the
loyalty shown by the strikebreakers.
That was taken to mean the company
would grant further concessions to
it's operators in few days.

FATAL QUARREL OVER
STREET CAR TRANSFER
ONE MAN KILLED, ANOTHER FA-
TALLY INJURED AND TWO
PAINFULLY HURT.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21.-As a
result of trouble over a transfer slip
on a Polk street car of the United
Railroads system this evening, one
man was shot and killed, another so
seriously wounded that death will
probably ensue, and two other men
less severely injured. The slain man
was Otto Moss, aged "a years, hod-
carrier by occupation. Otto p. Ener-
vein was shot through the neck and
left eye, and will probably die. John
Monger, q hod-carrier, was shot
through the left hand.
Bernard Goldstein was shot
through the right leg
Joseph Steffens will probably lose
the sight of his left eye, which was
filed with shattered glass.
The conductor of the car, e. b.
Brown, and the motorman, e. A. Pur-
cell, are at the city prison, and will
be charged with murder.
During the quarrel over the trans
fer, some one threw off the trolley
pole, and the car came to stand
still. The stoppage of the car, cou-
pied with a noise in the rear led Mo-
torman Purcell to believe that his
mate was in danger and, revolver in
hand, he pushed his way through the
crowded car. Women and children
were thrown into panic and mad
rush was made to escape. Women
trampled upon children, and windows
were broken by the affrighted pas
sengers, whose hysteria and fears
were increased when the shooting be-
gan.

with the opposition of the medical

RUMORS FLOATED
ABOUT ROBINSON
BELIEVED THAT GOOD DENEL-
OPMENTS ARE DUE IN THAT
PROPERTY SOON.

Rumors were current in the streets
last night that the workmen in the
Robinson had broken through all of
the overburden and had penetrated
a big body of first class sulphides
This rumor spread rapidly during the
took place on change, there was a
little activity in that stock
While there We're only 900 shares
sold at the price of 10 cents where
the stock has stood for some time,
private sales during the afternoon
and evening aggregated between
5000 and 1000 shares.
The fact that the management has
expected for some time to tap the
sulphides, and the prevalence of the
rumor that this had been done, caus-
ed the furry in this stock.
AS matter of fact peculiar con-
dition of affairs was discovered at
the Robinson Sunday, when the min
ers who are driving the shaft down
as fast as they can, broke into a num-
ber of big air chambers.
These chambers were filled with
foul and nauseating air which gushed
from the bottom of the tunnel in
such strong current that the can
dies of the miners were eXtinguished.
This was repeated three or four
times during the days work, and
thus far no explanation has been
made to show what was the cause of
this phenomenon.
The work in the shaft is most sat
isfactory to the management and big
things are looked for in each days

TUESDAY OCTOBER
MAY NAMES TERMS
NO ONE COULD MEET
RENO MAN POSTS 81, 100 Or SIDE
BET, BUT OFFERS NO IN
DUCEMENT.

James T. May of Reno, who recent
| ly stated that he is willing to make
bet of $4,000 that Battling Nelson
can stand up for twenty rounds be-
| fore Joe Cans, is apparently trying
to side-step the proposition made by
Tex Rickard, to take up the bet.
In order, however, to give color to
his assertions that he means business,
May has posted $1,000 with the
Scheeline Trust company of Reno,
but makes conditions that it is cer-
tain that Rickard will not meet.
Richards proposition was that he
would take Mays bet, and would in
addition, put up purse of $25,OOO
to make the game worth while for
the fighters, but that the fight must
take place in Ely.
The mere posting of $1,000 with
the trust company will not bring May
and Rickard any closer together.
Rickard will insist that the fight
come here while May will be equally
insistent that the fight go to Reno.
Rickard is willing to put up the
purse, but May does not give the
fighters any incentive to- try to get
together.
Inc ftcIlO JOuTUdl Has lle lOllON-
ing to say of the fight dope:
Calling at The Journal office, Mr..
May went with the general manager
of The Journal to the Scheeline
Banking and Trust company and de-
posted 81 900 cash to cover his bet.
He also arranged to put up the other
$4,000 as soon as Rickard comes
up with the cash.
81 am offering no purse" he said.
81 put up the money-$20,0 ,000-that
Cans cannot stop Nelson-that means
that he cannot knock Nelson out in
twenty rounds. 1t is easy to under
stand. There is nothing to mistake
about it. 1t is straight money bet
no purse about it. 1t is 100000
that Cans can not stop Nelson in
twenty rounds. There is a further
condition. 1t is that the fight shall
take place in Reno or the neigh
borhood. We are not engaged in
boosting for some other locality. The
fight must take place in Reno. Let
it be at the Wheelmen's club, at Moa-
no Springs, or anywhere near Reno.
If they have the money let them come
forward now. My guarantee is up.
"There is another thing. We do
not intend TO walt three OF TOUR
years. This bet was made some
weeks ago and they have had lots
of time to cover it.
81 have never bet that Nelson
would win. That is something that
the public must understand. There
were plenty of people present when I
made the bet and they know what
the terms were. The bet is that Cans
cannot stop Nelson in twenty
rounds"
Tex Rickard says that it would be
foolish to suppose that the men
could be gotten together to fight to
decide a personal side bet. and that
for the purpose of aiding to get them
to an agreement, he has offered to
post the purse as announced some
time ago.
lie says that he would claim the
usual privilege accorded to the purse
giver. of namins the place at which
the fight is to occur. and he further
adds that he would nam: no place
outside of Ely. Rickord says that
his money viii be posted ct the mo
ment any one appears who will talk
business on business basis.

NEAL IS AFTER MORAN
WITH BIG BELLS ON

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21.-
frankie Neil is more than anxious to
clash with Owen Moran, in order to
show the sporting public that he is
able to hold his own with the best
that England has in the boxing line.
Neil says that he is fighter and not
a boxer. and lays the blame for his
defeat at the hands of Jim Bowker
to the clean breaks which prevail
across the water. Il don't shine in
these pink-tea scraps" said frankie,

slugging and fighting every inch of
the journey, m there with bells. If
Moran consents to fight me, he will

OFFICERS BEGIN CAMPAIGN
AGAINST FAMILY cow

There will be condensed milk used
on more than one breakfast table this
morning where the genuine unadul-
terated lacteal fluid has been used
heretofore, by reason of the activity
of the peace officers of the camp.
Many complaints have been made
to the effect that cattle and horses
have been allowed by their owners
to roam at will through the streets,
and that they have done considerable
damage to lawns and private grounds.
The peace officers made round up
last night, and if there are any fam
lily pets missing this morning, they
will probably be found to have been
impounded.
