GENERAL STRIKE
 IS MATTER OF

Whether or not the labor leaders will call out the men is not known. but 1t Is believed that the vote to strike means trouble on all the rail roads of the country and that a general tie-up of all traffic is but matter of few hours
 BIG STRIKE ON.
 NEW YORK, Aug 6.-The great street car strike which started yester- day morning, when 5000 operators of elevated trains quit work, has already blocked all forms of tran sit in the whole city. It is rumored that the elevated and subway em- gineers may soon join the strikers. The street cars have quit running entirely, and if the above mentioned classes join in the strike all travel except by auto will be impossible
 Many of the strikers are operat- ing jitneys, hoping in this way to make little money for themselves and also to prevent the street car companies from gaining the sympa- thy of the public because of the fact that the strike has prevented transportation from being carried on to such an extent that it may work d hardship on the citizens in general Every policeman in the strike dis tricts has been furnished with twen- ty rounds of ammunition, in case serious rioting breaks out As yet there has been no rioting beyond throwing refuse at strkebreakers and Mayor Mitchell Is confident that the present conditions will continue and that there will be no violence.

JONES LOSES
IN LAW SUIT
Verdict i'm the SANDER Suit Resulting
From The Axe Murder of In
terest to People Here

The verdict of the jury in the Jones
Wilkerson case at Red Oak has been
the sole topic of conversation in
Audubon as elsewhere and almost to
the end that labor and household
duties have been forgotten in the
town of Villisca.
"They don't need to think that
Jones is downed yet"
This was the only comment or
statement that Senator F. F. Jones
would make concerning the outcome
of his 100000 SANDER suit.
There was considerable suppressed
excitement in Villisca following the
verdict of the jury which found for
the defendant. Senator Jones, his
son, Albert Jones and Bert Mccall
whose name has been linked with that
of Jones in the alleged plots, were in
the Jones implement store. Senator
Jones declined to say whether he
would appeal the case or start civil
action against those he named with
Wilkerson in his original petition of
suit for SANDER.
| Newspaper men were shown thru
the implement shed in which j. w.
Noel, Villisca photographer, declared
/ he overheard Senator Jones and
others last May plan to interfere with
further probe of the axe crime.
The cracks were all battened and it
was impossible to peer into the shed
from the outside.
At the Ross Moore drug store,
short distance away. a number of
persons had gathered to discuss the
verdict. Ross Moore, brother of
the murdered man, said:
THE verdict has the approval of
80 per cent of the people of Villisca.
Among those who visited the
Moore store were Mrs. Wilkerson wife
of the detective, and Mrs. Alice Will
lard, star witness for the defense.
Friends sof Senator Jones declared
the court erred in not permitting to
be read to the jury the reply of Chief
Wilkie of Blue Island, ILL.,, to the let
ter of Senator Jones relative to Mans
field, Jones letter asking Wilkie If
Manifold was wanted in Blue Island
in connection with AK murders at that
city was read during the trial, Jones'
friends say the reply stated that an
insane man had been convicted of the
Blue Island crime.

s Il don't know what to do with my
self evenings" sighed Ronald Cray,
leaning out of the back window of
his bachelor apartment and survey
ing the gloomy flats around him.
Two months before he had been sum-
moned home from New Mexico, where
his power dam had made him famous,
to take charge of the engineering de-
partment of his company at head
quarters His salary was ample, he
had wealth, he was only twenty-five;
yet he had managed to make no &C
Guaintances in the big city.
A free life in the West had made
him different from the average CITY,
bred young man; he thought the me-
tropolis stiff and it's people devoid of
interest
Suddenly, as he leaned out, survey
ing the huge buildings and speculating
how many thousand lives ran on in
them, a light sprang into being in the
building opposite, on the fifth floor,

shade he saw the silhouette of man.
He was STOPPING over a table and,
as Cray watched, he saw the shadow
of woman behind him. Suddenly her
hand plunged downward. The elon-
gated object in it looked like a
poniard. 1t struck the man in the side
of the neck and he rolled over.
The woman stood looking at him for
moment; then, with a gesture of
triumph, she flung the poniard out of
the window, raising the shade little.
Cray heard metallic tinkle in the
court below. Then followed darkness.
He leaned out, astounded at what
he had seen and hardly believing it
real. How long he waited he did not
know. Suddenly his bell rang.
He went out into the passage and
saw, standing outside the door, one of
the most beautiful women whom he
had ever met. She was twenty-three or
four. Her eyes cleaned with feverish
intensity, her hair was disheveled
and her, hands were red
"Save me! Hide me-! Help mel" she
pleaded.
Cray did not hesitate an instant. He
pulled her through the doorway and
led her to the bathroom. He filled the

basin and washed her hands, drying
them on a towel afterward. Then he
took her into his spare room.
you're quite safe here he said in
low voice Nobody saw you come
in. You can stay as long as you want
to-"
She crouched in corner, glaring at
tated, then he closed and bolted the
window and withdrew, leaving the
door open.
For half an hour he waited, fearing
that he would hear the bolt snap, that
she would try to plunge down into the
came from the room. When at last he
returned she was lying on the floor
asleep.
He placed her on the couch and she
did not awaken. Her sleep was of
profound exhaustion. All night Cray
sat up, waiting. Sometimes he stole
in to look at her, but she never
stirred. 1t was not till the sun was
well up that he heard her moving.
She came forward unsteadily and
looked in at him as he sat by the
window.
"Where am II" she cried. "Who
are you?"
Cray rose and took her by the
hands 81 am friend" he answered.
"You are safe here-safe to come or
to CO."
She burst into hysterical sobbing.
When at last he had quieted her the
girl told Cray her story.
She had met man in her home in
Virginia, three months before. He
had asked her to be his wife. Her
parents mistrusted him; she followed
him stealthily, to learn toe late that
ali that had been said about him was
true. He was a gambler swindler.
She remembered those three months
with loathing. Her horror of him had
grown. He had deceived her with a
mock ceremony, lied to her-at last
