after being away for some time attend
ing the industrial commission hearing in
New York, and transacting business at
headquarters in indianapolis Hayes at
once Offered reward of 5000 on behalf
Of the Miners Union for the arrest and
conviction OF the murderers of William
Dick merchant and mine owner of Wal
seabrrg. Sheriff Jeff Farr has given
ont statements in which he intimates
that members of the union are suspect
ed OF having committed the murder,
growing out of recent strike troubles.
As matter of fact the miners had no
trsuble with Dick and he conducted his
mines under union conditions.
Pres reports state that Dick was
shot from ambush while going in an au-
tomchile from Walsenburg to the Oak
view mine with =. 800 in cash to be used
in paving the men. Truth OF the matter
i he was not even a part owner in
this mine and the men there are paid by
cheek. The Huerfano and Pinon Trading
comlanies, OF which Dick was the prin-
cipal owner, conducts store at Oak
view. where it has been the custom 10
cash the meas checks and the money
was being taken for that purpose.
That the object of the murderers was
robbery : shown by the fact that Dicks
pockets were rifled. After being shot
the machine eareened and upset into an
irrigation ditch, the grin containing
the $500 being pinned beneath the rear
seat and was not found by the robbers,

charge of the Hucrfano district, instruct
ing Montgomery to use every means at
his command and to enlist every man on
the union rolls in an effort to run down
the assassins.
I'VE counted Dick as one of our
friends" said Hayes in explaining the
unions attitude on the murder. "He en-
ployed union men in his mines. and had
installed excellent conditions. His as
sassination was a most cowardly piece
of work We believe that the offering
OF this reward will stimulate the search
