GOLDFIELD STRIKE
PRACTICALLY OYER
MINE OWNERS ARE SATISFIED
WITH PRESENT CONDITIONS,
AND WILL RUN THE MINES TO
SUIT THEMSELVES.

Goldfeld, New, January Alt is be-
lieved in Goldfeld that the strike is
practically won by the mine operators
and that within ten days or two weeks
every mine in the district will be in full
blast.
Several mines started up tonight with
miners formerly affiliated with the West.
ern Federation, but who signed cards re-
nouncing such allegiance.
Among the mines were the Mohawk
property, the Combination Traction and
several leases on the Atlantic and Flor
enee The men went to work under the
new scale, which reduced wages 20 per
cent. General Manager Mackenzie of the
Goldfield Consolidated, said today:
Conditions now are more promising
than at any time since the strike began
and the mine owners have not wavered
one bit from their original programme
of reducing wages and separating from
the Western Federation of Miners. Every
member of the federation has to sign
card renouncing allegiance to that union
and all the mine owners will remain firm
in their stand if it takes two years to
accomplish their purpose of breaking up
the federation in Goldfield and Nevada.
There Is now in process of formation
a new union among the miners which is
to become a state affair in place of the
Western Federation.

CONDUCTOR KILLS
NEGRO ON CAR
w. B. CHEATHAM SHOOTS MAN
WHO CAME AT HIM WITH KNIFE
WHEN ASKED TO PAY HIS FARE.
THREE BULLETS IN HEAD.

Conductor w B. Cheatham shot and
killed IL. Hudley, a negro, on a North
Bessemer car early last night. Cheat
ham claims that he shot the negro in
self-defense, alleging that the negro
had already attacked and cut him when
he fired.
The difficulty, it seems, grew out OF
the refusal on the part of the negro to
pay his fare on the car, which was
bound for Birmingham. When the
conductor asked Hudley for his fare it
is stated by witnesses that he refused
to pay it, and when Cheatham threat
ened to put him off it seems the negro
drew knife and attacked the conduc-
tor, inflicting a flesh wound on the
hand. The negro rushed at Cheatham
second time, when the conductor
drew a pistol and fired.
Three shots were fired. One took
effect just to the right of the bridge of
the nose, another in the face, on the
right side of the nose, and the third in
the left side. The negro was hurriedly
brought to town in order that he might
receive the proper attention.
An ambulance met the car at Third
avenue and Nineteenth street and the
negro was rush ed to st. Vincent's hos
pital. He died, however, just before
reaching the hospital.
