GIRLS WILD DRIVE
KILLED AGED MAN
James CaricO Had Hole
Knocked i'm Head.
HE LIVED ONLY A SHORT TIME
Brick Mason by Trade and
Known as a Quiet.
Honorable Citizen.
The greensboro Messenger says:

The OWenSDOrO MeSSSuSSi says
James Carico, a brickmason, seventy
years of age, is dead as the result
of being struck by a buggy driven
recklessly on West Second street
Saturday night by Goldie Dougherty
and Pearl Salmon.
The aged man was standing on the
curling in front of Adams barber
shop on Second street between Fred
erica and st. Elizabeth streets, short
ly after O'Clock, talking to friends,
when the women drove up Second
street at a terrific rate of speed.
Just before getting to the spot where
Mr.. Carico was standing, the girls
turned their horse from the opposite
side of the street, and cutting the
animal with the whip, struck the man
in the back with the front wheel. He
was knocked to the street, run over
and rendered unconscious.
He received severe injuries about
the head and body, a hole being
knocked in the top Of his head, and
one in the left side of his head just
above the ear. After lying in the
street for something like twenty
minutes, the body was removed TO
the city hospital, and Drs. Claim,
Youtsler and Townsend were called
in attendance. The physicians had
Just moved Mr.. carico into the oper-
aung room, when he died. They pro-
nounced death due to conclusion of
the brain.
After striking down Mr.. Carico,
the girls continued up Second street
at a terrific rate of speed, taking no
notice of pedestrians or vehicles. AT
ter driving up Second street several
blocks, the girls turned back and pass
ed the place where they had run ov-
er Mr.. Carico, stopping at the corner
of Frederick and Second streets to
take boy into the buggy.
Immediately after the injured man
Lad been sent TO the hospital the pO-
lice instituted a search for the two
girls, but at midnight had succeeded
in finding only Pearl Salmon, who
was locked up. She was found on
West Second street near Hafendorfer's
grocery, where she was engaged in
conversation with several boys.
Mr.. Carico was a well known resi-
dent of the Breckenridge street
neighborhood. He had resided in this
city for several years, and is surviv-
ed by several distant relatives.
Both of the girls are well known
in police circles, the Salmon girl
having been arrested several nights
ago on a charge of breach of the
peace. When seen at the cit lookup
she refused to make a statement in
regard to the accident, but cursed
the officers for arresting her. When
arrested, she denied having run over
any man, and asked the officers to
permit the Dougherty girl to remain
in the cell with her. if the latter was
arrested.
For some time there has been a
complaint among citizens over The
way in which immoral characters
drive about the streets, both during
day and night. II was only few
days ago that IA woman drove a horse
to death and was fined for cruelty to
animals.

Louisville, April 2.-The mines in
District %, Western Kentucky have
suspended operations and they will
remain closed, so far as the work.
men are concerned, until an agree
ment is reached with the operators
on wage scale. The miners, now
in convention here, are keeping in
daily touch with the national officers
in Indianapolis, of the United Mine
Workers Association of America.
/ This morning an inquiry was receiv-
ed from the national office as to the
status of affairs, and an answer was
sent to the effect that operations had
been suspended, and that. the sus-
pension would continue until the
wage scale submitted to the opera
tors is signed.
The scale in question is published
above, and calls for a substantial in.
crease all along the line. This in
crease is in conformity with the
wages agreed upon at Cincinnati re-
Gently, at the meeting of the miners
in national convention. The men of
District %, therefore, are committed
to this scale, and say that they will
not recede from it. The only men
permitted by the union to work from
now on until an agreement is reach
ed are the pumpmen, engineers and
| fircmen.
The object in permitting the latter
to continue is said to be to keep the
mines in order, as the miners have
no desire to be responsible for any
neglect in that respect.
Representatives of the miners state
thai the union is absolutely COM
mitted to the proposition submitted,
as it was agreed TO at the Cincinnati
meeting with delegates from District
% participating.
As TO the request for concessions
in connection with local conditions,
| ii is said questions arise at each of
/ the mines peculiar to themselves,
and that these have to be taken into
consideration when the agreements
are being framed.
Several thousand miners are af-
fected by the suspension of work.
! LATER-There was a decided break
between the operators who compose tn
! Western Kentucky Coal Operators AS
ISOLATION and the United Mine Work
men Of District % in the Aldermanic
Climber of the City Hall at Louisville
Saturday After a brief session, in
hich a proposition was submitted
by the operators and later was with
drawn, the joint convention adjourned
until Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock.
The proposition submitted to the
miners by the operators provided for
a general increase of $50 per cent.
on all inside labor under certain
local conditions. These conditions
were not made known. An increase
of five cents a ton on screened pick
mined coal, four andone-quarter cents
per ton increase on "run-of-mine"
coal, picked mined, four cents per
ton increase on screened coal, machine
mined, and proportionate advances in
other grades of coal were included.
The difference between the miners
and the operators rests in the de-
mand of the miners for per cent.
increase for inside day labor, while
the operators do not wish to give
but 5.55 per cent. An advance of 5.55
per cent. was asked at the conven-
ton in Cincinnati. The miners in

BUFFALO BILLS
 FAREWELL TOUR
Old Scout Tells Friars That He. is Getting Tired of Show
 Business.

Col. William F. Cody. better known as Buffalo Bil1,'' told the FTriars last night in New York that he was grow ing tired of straddling that big white charger of his, tired of appearing in the arena and shooting Indians with blank cartridges, and that he means to retire from active work and go out
 West to spend the rest of his days with his Stanch old Indian friends and his buffalo and his horses. His retire ment was a, little way off yet, he said, ot America, but when the tour is conn plete he means to turn the show over to his partner, Major G. w. Little better known as t'Pawnee Bill'-and bid goodbye to the show business for ever.
 In anticipation of his retirement, Col. Cody bade farewell to the F'riars of applause which almost raised the roof.
 The dinner was not in Col Cody's honor. It was in honor of George M Conan. The big ballroom of the Hotel Astor held about 1000 F'riars and their friends, all eager to show how much they admire the Official flag wa ver'' hans-Jerry J., the father; Mrs. Jerry and Miss Josephine, sister of George were all there, and before the evening was over the four harzed back to the old days when they were dancing clogs and George was ffddling to get his foot on the lower round of the lad der to success. On a stage at one end of the dining room they fiddled and danced in the old days.
 Many men Of note in the theatrical profession were on hand to tell MT. Conan what they thought of him.

 The Heart of the Anarctic.
 The wonderful story of the British Antarctic Expedition, covering 1907-1909, is most completely told by Lieut.. Shackleton, who participated in this expedition. The contribution of read ing matter comes not only from his pen but from the pen of the others who took this journey with him. The beautifully reproduced pictures made from actual photographs is very com plete; the fact that they took a motor car aboard the 'fNinnrod," which was the name of the vessel which they went to the South Seas, is certainly unus- uaI-their description of the seals, whales and birds found there and of the wonderful mountains, glaziers, makes a thrilling narrative. Lieut.. shackleton will lecture in our City this week, and it would be a very nice addition to the library before hearing him or after hearing him.
