Efforts to Seize Piute Have Thus Far
Resulted in the Killing Of
Six Persons
BIZ Associated Press.

Durango, Col, Feb. 24.-Tse- Ne Cat,
the Piute Indian whose efforts to elude
arrest by Federal officers on the charge
of murder have since Sunday resulted
in the death of five Indians and one
member of United States Marshal Neb-
eker' posse, was still at large to-day,
according to reports received here from
Bluff, Utah. Marshal Nebeker and
the main body of his force were report
ed entrenched in the rocks west of that
place and the fugitive Indian, with
his father, "Old Polk, p" and their band
of renegate Piutes, who have aided in
their fight with the government officers,
were believed to be somewhere in the
vicinity Of Butler, about miles west
of Bluff.
Mounted Indian police from Ship
rock are reported en- route to Bluff to
reinforce the whites.
Another casualty was added to the
list last night, when Havane, son-in-
law of "Old Poll'' and one of six In
dians captured Sunday, slipped off his
manacles and leaped through window
of the temporary prison at Bluff in an
effort to escape. Two members of the
posse detailed to guard the prisoners

Court Withholds It's
Decision in the Cases
OF White. Eckinger
and Bowman
RUSH MADE TO
GET RENEWA AIS
Judges viii Take Additional Testf-
mony on the Application of the
Berrysburg Hotel When the Hear
ing Is Resumed Next Monday

All except three of the 172 appli-
cations for the renewal of liquor Ii
censes-held by hotel men, distillers.
brewers, wholesalers and bottlers in
tnls county-we,e granted this morn
ing by the Dauphin county court. The
three cases in which licenses were not
granted have not yet. been passed upon.
They are those of Harry White, pro-
prietor of the Ann Street hotel, Mids
dletown; Harry f. Eckinger, for the
Paxtonia Inn, Lower Paxton township,
and William H, Bowman, proprietor of
the st. Lawrence hotel, Berrysburg.
A further hearing in the Bowman
case will be held on Monday, the court
desiring to get additional information
on the charge set up by one w. S.
Straub, which was in effect that Bow
man has sold intoxicants to habitual
drunkards. The Berrysburg hotel con-
sequently will be closed on Monday,
since the 1914 liquor license year ends
next Saturday at midnight. If the
hearing in that case can be ended on
Monday, the court at once will make a
ruling on the application, so Judge Nc
Carrell announced from the bench.
Hotel Ter anG their attorneys
rushed to get the licenses renewed this
morning Immediately after the court
announced its intention to grant all
except three of the applications.
No Opinion Yet Filed
No opinion was filed by the court in
any one case, but it is believed that
the Judges will file an opinion when
they dispose finally of the Eckinger
and White cases, In which remon-
strances were filed and in which testi.
mony has been taken.
The Paxtonia Inn had no license
last year, but prior to that had been
! licensed '.inn y for more than a cen
tury. Eckinger's predecessor as pro-
piretor made no application for a license
plicant this year offered to show the
need for bar at that place. The
question of necessity was the only ono
raised in the remonstrance against the
Paxtonia Inn and against the Ann
Street, Middletown, hotel.
As matter, now stand only one of
Dauphn countys present liquor estab-
| lishments is certain to 90 out of busi.
ness with the close of the license year
next Saturday. 1t is the bottling
works of John Mackert, Lenkerville,
near Millersburg. Mackert withdrew
his application for the license renewal.
Wiconisco Hotels Win
The five Wiconisco township hotels,
| which 119 residents of that district
| declared in remonstrance are not nec-
essary, all will oe relicensed.
The court has permitted the with
drawal of the remonstrance filed to the
application of Theodore B. Frye for his
hotel at Fifth and Short streets.
Edward G. Hoffman, proprietor of
| the Hoffman House, Market street, this
city, who was accused by travelling
man of having permitted women to
frequent his place of business, made an
answer which satisfied the court and
he will get license for the new year.
| The Paxtona Inn was the only place
that applied for license which did
not have license in the present year.

OPERA HOUSE PLOT SURVEYED
Attorney for Owners. However, Has No
Information to Give Out on Subject

A new survey of the plot of ground
at Third and Walnut streets, the site of
the old Grand Opera House, which was
destroyed by fire in 1907, was male
yesterday by local civil engineers, a
proceeding that gave rise to rumor
that the long vacant plot was to be
sold and building of some character
erected on it.
Local attorneys who had the survey
made said they had no idea for what
purpose the new plan was being pre-
pared. They said they had been re-
quested to have it done for the owners
of the ground.
The plot is owned by the Weightman
estate, of which Mrs. Frederic G. Pen
field, of Philadelphia, wife of the Unit
ed States Ambassador to Austria, is an
heir, and has been idle ever since the
ire except that it has been used for
bill boards.
Former Attorney General Hampton
L. Carson, of Philadelphia, who is the
attorney for the estate was asked by
telephone this morning the significance
of the survey.
"At present. said Mr.. Carson,
there is nothing to be said regarding
the disposal of the property, and should
anything develop the Harrisburg people
will be informed. J have no informa-
tion regarding any kind of building
that might be erected on the ground,
and cannot say anything concerning its
probable sale. The survey taken of the
property yesterday was for my own in

$4,000 IN BONUSES HINGES
ON A CHOCOLATE CO. suit
Contention of Former Hershey Employe
That He is Entitled to Share in
Dividend, Is Said to Be Test
Case For One Hundred Others

When the suit of Paul Snyder
against the Hershey Chocolate Company
of Hershey, goes to trial in the local
court late this afternoon or early to-
morrow morning, the attention of the
Dauphin county judges will be called
to an action, the like of which never
before has been tried in this county
or State. But two similar suits have
been decided in other States of the
Union.
1t is a suit to recover bonus on net
earning-a twenty per cent. dividend
on employees wages which the Hershey
Company annually for years has declar-
ed. Snyder was deprived of bonus in
1911, but contends he is entitled to it.
He says he worked for the concern
eleven and a half months in that year,
but was not actively employed by the
company when the dividend was de-
clared.
Snyder's claim is for $11S, which he
says is a pro rata bonus on his year IS
wages to which he contends he is en-
titled. The suit is brought as test
case. More than hundred other
former chocolate company employees
are interested, because, like Snyder,
they too contend, they were thrown out
of work less than a month before the
dividend was declared and got no bonus
for that year
The plaintiff contends he is entitled
to dividend because he never was dis
charged from the employ of the COM
pany and was under temporary sus.
pension when the bonus was allowed.
About twenty-five of the more than
one hundred men who allege they got
no bonus are aiding Snyder in finan-
cling his suit. The action was begun
more than three years ago and did not
go to trial earlier because of the alb
sence of material witness, Oscar Fox,
who, it is said, gave the clay off or
der to the men.
More than year and a half was
spent in finding Fox for the purpose
Of getting his testimony. His deposi-
tions finally were taken and Fox is
now visiting near Hershey, it is said,
and will remain here until the close
of the trial. The search for him was
extended to st. Louis, No., Portland, O.,
Omaha, Neb., Hot Springs, Ark, and
San Francisco, Cal.
The claims of the hundred former
employees amount to well on to $4,000,
so it was said to-day.

WORK ON THE POSTOFFICE
COMES TO A STANDSTILL
Halted Until It Is Decided BY the Gov
ernment Whether to Permit Bond
holders of Contractors to Finish 1t
Or to Award Job to Another Firm

Work on the addition to the post
office, the contract for which was in
the hands of Pennock & Company, has
come to an absolute standstill with no
prospect of an early resumption of
operations. The Pennock Company, with
numerous contracts on its hands, it was
recently announced, has gone into the
hands of receiver, one being appoint
ed last Friday.
Postmaster Sites has had no infor-
nation or instructions concerning
future operations on the building and
is waiting to hear from the United
States Treasury Department which has
charge Of all operations concerning pub
lie buildings.
There are two ways in which the
work ON the building may be complet-
ed. The bondsmen for Pennock & Com
pany may finish the work or the Treas,
ury Department may reimburse the
Pemnoek firm for the work it has done
up to date and then let a new contract
for the completion of the work as con-
templated, to some new contracting
firm.
The Pennock Company obtained the
first contract for the addition in the
rear, but subsequently Congress appro-
priated $4,000 to elevate this addi-
tion to the height of the original struc-
ture. The contract for this last work
has not been awarded although the
plans are finished. They also include
some interior alterations.
Should the Treasury Department de-
eide to let the contract to another
party it will also include the work of
elevation and alteration, making the
entire work but one contract in the
hands OF one construction firm. A con-
ference between the receiver and the
government authorities will have to be
held in order to arrive at n conclusion
