J. D. PROBABLY JUST SMILES
ONE ALREADY DEAD
Bayonne, Oct. II. - One woman
has been killed, four strikers perhaps
fatally injured, four policemen
wounded and more than 80 rioters
have received bullet wounds in SO
hours in the hook" district, where
strikers of the big Standard Oil plant
rule today.
Chief of Police Michael Reilly de-
clared today that last night was the
worst he had put in in 20-years of
handling strikes. Firemen answered
80 alarms during the night.
Hearing that Samuel Greenburg,
a saloonkeeper, was comforting with
strikebreakers, a mob stOrmed his
place early today, broke in doors as
Greenburg, with his wife and chill
dren in their night clothes, fled to
the roof and fastened the hatch, then
set fire to the building.
A squad of detectives charged the
crowd, drove them off and brought
the family down ladders as iremen
put out the ire.
At 8 o'clock this morning Inspec-
tor Cady and so police drove off two
boatloads of men, who, they were
tipped, were strikers endeavoring to
set fire to the plant of the Tidewater
Oil Company.
Behind their headline" which
cuts off the lower end of Bayonne,
strikers were in complete control and
gradually were stopping all industrial
operations in several plants today by
preventing loading at piers and turn
ing back all who attempt to pass the
line.
One hundred policemen, quartered
in an engine house opposite plant of
Tidewater Oil Co., were only police
below deadline today.

FIND REMAINS OF MISS.
ING Man NEAR
PATAGONIA

Nogales, JuDe I3.- What has
been identified as the rem ms Of
Walter Fortune was brought in
yesterday from about eleven miles
below Patagonia by Sheriff Nc
Knight, and Is now in his Office in
the court house. 1t will be re-
membered that Fortune who was
formerly member of the board of
supervisors drove into Sonoita a
year ago last January, during the
time of the great foods in this
county, and while his team had
been unhitched and made their es-
cape and he has not been seen
since. A great deal Of specula
tion as 10 the cause of his disa-
ppearance at the time, and there
was quite few who believed that
Fortune had not been drowned but
had left the country. But most of
his friends accepted the theory of
his disappearance as due to drown
ing, and their theory seem to have
been correct, as the remains of the
body found day before yesterday
has been identified by several. All
of his clothing has loag since dis
appeared except his shoes which
were still on his f. .et in fair state
of preservation.
He is known to have worn at
the time high~topped shoes, which
at the top had straps around to
fasten the shoes tightly around
the ankle.
Mrs. Fortune came in from Pat
agonia last night, and stated that
the shoes were Identical to the pair
he wore at that time The skull
shows a strong understood jaw, and
which was a strong characteristic
of Fortune. There is little doubt
but that the body is that of For.
tune, and it is reported that Mrs.
Fortune is satisfied Of the identif
cation and has ordered a casket
and will have the body inferred.
This clears up mystery that
has caused a great deal of specu-
lation in this county since his dis
appearance.
