 The foregoing cases are cited merely to show that. while the trade unions are regarded in some quarters as hard hearted business organizations, and meet with considerable opposition from superficial and academic observers because of this idea. there is another side to their activity that is seldom brought into public notice. but is as much part. of the unions existence as is the question of hours and wages the fraternal side.

his effects were shipped to his rela- tives in England. All expenses were paid from the InternatiOnal and local death benefit fund.
 Another somewhat similar case fol- lowed shortly afterward. and was treated in the same manner. which goes tO show that the same course Is pursued in every instance. In this case the member died from natural causes, but rather unexpectedly. As he had no relatives in this country. the Typo graphical Union provided Christian burial closed up his affairs and for warded his property to relatives The services were largely attended by his fellow workers. and the beautiful floral tributes attested the esteem in which he was held. He had been d promin- ent member of the local union.
 To prove that these brotherly acts are not confined % the well known members, however, the case of a poor who died from lingering disease. during which he was visited and comforted by members of the Womans' Auxiliary, may be noted. At

ONE DEAD AND TWO

Which Occurred at Harrington, Ariz.,
 Over Woman.


 As the result of a fatal gun fight over a woman, at Harrington, forty five miles from Prescott. in the south ern part of Yavapai county, Wednes- day morning about ? o'clock, Bruce Sarten, a miner, is dead, and William Wheeler and Dave Alexander. both wounded, are under arrest pending the outcome of the cOroners inquest.
 According to teiephonic advices to the JOurnal-Miner, from Harrington, Wheeler ard Alexander were visiting the woman in, question when Sarten approached the house, knocked on the door, and demanded admittance, which was refused. fingered at this, and burning with jealousy, it is said, Sar- ten fired through the wall of the house into the room occupied by Alexander and the woman, using a No. F shot gun. Alexander was wounded in both hands but the woman escaped injury.
 Alexander returned the fire through the wall, firing three shots, from a pistol, one of which slightly wounded Sarten, who, vOwing vengeance, de- parted, only to return later, in time tO meet Wheeler and Alexander leaving the house. He called upon them to throw up their hands, but instead Of complying, Alexander lodged and Sar- ten turned his attention to Wheeler, at whom he fired point blank, wounding him Tn the leg.
 Wheeler, who had pulled his pistol, returned the fire, the bullet entering Sartens chest, coming out at the back, causing almost instant death. After Sarten fell, Wheeler and Alexander continued on doVh into the town, where they told of the shooting, and the sheriffs office at Prescott, was notified, Deputy Sheriff Burns and Justice of the Peace McLane leaving on the morning train for the scene Of the killing.
 After the arrival of the officer and coroner in Harrington, Wheeler and Alexander were taken into custody, pending the decision of the coroner's jury.

They immediately took charge of his body, made all necessary arrangements for the funeral Cthe member having no relatives there) ascertained his relig ious faith and had a minister of that church officiate at the burial. which was largely attended by printers and members of the Women's Auxiliary to the Typographical Union. who accom- panied the departed brother to his last resting place.
