trainmens organizations and the rail
road managers. held series OF con
ferences Sunday first with one side
and then with the other Mr.. Knapp
last night said that they were pro
crossing, but tfat nothing definite had
been accomplished thus far.
It was said that the labor commits
sioners had intimated that they were
willing to concede something from
their original demands in the inter
ests of peace, but what concession
they would make was not disclosed
The railroad managers, on the other
hand, are said to have declared that
they would not grant more than they
have already offered their employees
and that the recent vote of the men
in favor of a strike was not fair cri
terion of feeling entertained by the
mass of employees toward the rail
roads. They asserted that most OF
the passenger conductors were willing
10 accept the advance offered and
voted for rejection Of the terms
against their own better Judgment.
Chiefs Morrissey and Garretson, OF
the labor organizations, denied that
any influence was exercised among
the men to procure vote favorable
to a strike. A joint conference be-
tween the managers and union lead
ers may be held to-day.

sustained by the commission.
The defense will offer no witnesses

There are eleven prisoners con-
fined in the Otero county bastile at
the present time, or at least there
were that many last Monday-there
may be more at the present moment.
East Saturday Sheriff Potter took
four prisoners to Pueblo, because
there was not room here at home to
provide quarters for them. Their
names are as follows: T.. J. O Brien
and c. l.. Ward, switchmen charged
with burglarizing Santa Fe freight
cars: James Strait, charged with
criminal assault at Swink; and w.
F. Scott. accused of horse stealing.
They will be confined in the Pueblo
county Jail for safe keeping until
their trial comes up in the district
court in June. This is the first
time in the history of OterO county
that it has been necessary TO board
prisoners away from home on az
count of the Jail being too small to
accommodate them. There will be
something doing in the criminal line
at the next term of the district
court
