STREET CAR MEN BACK
ON JOB IN JACKSONVILLE
sTRIkEBREAKERS PAID OFF AND
LEAVE FOR NEW YORK
aNE PHILADELPHIA.

Jdeksonl lie, Noy % This morn :
ing many of the trainmen of the
Jacksonville Traction company who
were out on strike for over three
weeks, resumed their old places on
the cars. Every line is now operated
by the old men and conditions are
normal. Practically all of the old
faces are to be seen on the cars in
every section of the city. This morn
ing when the cars were taken out of
the barn there was large crowd
of former employees at the office to
receive their uniforms and train
sheets for the days work. They were
put to work as form erly.
The strikebreakers formed long
line this morning at the offices of the
company and were paid off. All Of
them are making preparations to
leave the city at once. Most of them
are from New York and Philadelphia.
Practically all of them went back by
rail tonight, while a few will take
the Clyde liner on Thursday after
noon.
The tension which has existed since
the strike began was relaxed this
morning, and it is thought Hat with
the return of normal conditions bus
mess will pick up at once. The
tourist season, which was injured by
the trouble, bids fair to pick up at
once. .e<s ~ gR'

FAITHFUL MULE CARRIES
HIM TO FARM.
Robbery NOT THE motive
William Green, Prosperous Farmer
Near Jacksonville, is KILLED ard a
Strange Negro Assaulted and Rob-
bed on Same Road.

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 20. - Will
liam Green, aged about As years,
prosperous farmer of Grand Crossing.
was stabbed and killed on the Kings
road last night while returning from
the city in his wagon.
The knife which pierced his breast
on the left side, just above the heart,
apparently did not cause instant
death, but Green is supposed to have
breathed his last just as his faithful
mule drew the wagon into the farm
yard.
AS there was no effort at robbery,
farmer is supposed to have been kill
ed by some one who was lying in
wait for him, although other features
of the case give it an added element
of mystery
Eugene Calvin, a negro now in the
county hospital was also attacked
near the same place by another negro,
who, after Turing him beyond the city
limits, beat him about the head and
face with a brick SO badly that he
could only murmur the word rob
berry" when found. A piece of brick
was found in the front of Green S
wagon.
A second negro, who said he had
been injured by falling from a train.
was found sitting alongside the rail-
read tracks nearby this morning.
warming himself at fire which a
passerby had built for him.
Green, who was known to the
! farmers for miles around as "Will, :
was popular and had owned his own
farm for many years. He was re-
garded as quiet and peace loving. For
this reason the police are puzzled to
know why anyone should have wish
ed to kill him.
! The murdered man is survived by
widow and several children, and
his death has caused profound Shock
to the entire countryside.
Later in the morning John Rob-
erson, a negro, who gave his address
as Birmingham, Ala. was arrested at
the union depot by Patrolman James
Lord. He was docketed at police
Headquarters as suspicious charac-
ter and for carrying concealed wea-
pom, razor being found in his poe
ket.
Robertson was identified by detec-
tives working on the murder as the
! man whom they had seen seated by
camp fire. The negro, who claimed
to have fallen from train, had two
cuts in the back of his head, which
might have been made by knife or
razor
When questioned regarding the
murder he denied all knowledge of it,
but said he had just come from Bir-
mingham and had walked into the
city He will be held for further ex-
animation.
