catch the real plans of prospective
travellers.
Parker, McCausland, Mers and Oman
believed they had successfully fooled
the road agents spies. They set out
with their treasure cased in buckskin
bags concealed about their persons and
under the rear seat of the coach. Port
Neuf canyon, they agreed was the big
danger spot. Could they but pass there,
their journey would be safe.
Near the Snake river bridge two
more passengers entered the stage.
They were Carpenter and Brown.
Before entering the canyon early in
the afternoon all had looked to the
condition of their weapons as routine
precaution, and had settled down to
general conversation. 1t was a bright,
rolled off the spirits of the party rose
high.
Tragic Death
The growing sense of security col
lapSed at Parker'S call to fire on the
robbers. The blast that killed Parker
was followed by others that brought
death to McCausland, Mers and Oman
Carpenter was seriously wounded and
saved his life by feigning death as a
bandit was ready to drill him again
Brown escaped into the brush. Charley
Parks. the express messenger, was shot
in the leg, and had to submit to its
amputation at the thigh.
Large rewards were offered by the
stagecoach company for arrest of the
bandits and recovery of the treasure.
Members Of the Montana Vigilante
organization took up the trail. For
some time there was no clue and it
looked like another unsolved crime Of
the frontier was to be recorded.
Frank Williams, the stage driver,
soon afterward quit his job and became
a hanger-on around Salt Lake City
saloons. His expenditures were such
that he drew the suspicion of men
working on the Port Neuf canyon
crime. Williams was watched closely
until it was established that he could
not have secured so much money by
honest means. He disappeared from
Salt Lake City.
Hanged Near Denver
Williams was traced eastward along
the Overland route and was arrested
at Godfrey's station between Julesburg
and Denver. Conscience-stricken. he
confessed driving the coach into am
bush in Port Neuf canyon for a rob-
berry in which he benefited. 1t had not
occurred to him that murder would
be committed. He had not known a
moments peace since. He implicated
II other men, giving their names and
last-known locations. Williams was
SumUarily hanged near Denver. His
information led to the execution of a
few others, but most of those impli-
Gated never paid the penalty-for that
crime, at least.

capacity of the average gold hunter,
commenced to realize that If their
rights were not secured before the
party reached the gulch, very little
respect would be shown them as dis
coverers and the stampeders would
take the lions share and leave the
poor and almost unknown prospectors
and discoveries out in the cold. A
halt was called and the prospectors
announced to the stampeders that IN
less 200 feet of ground was guaranteed
to each OF them, extending across the

A. FL. Faces Split
As Machinists' Union
Demands Showdown
Executive Council Told
To Give Croft Work 1t Suys
Carpenters Have Taken

Another major split in the ranks
of union labor was threatened to-
day when the International Asso-
citation of Machinists demanded
showdown in its 27-year-old juris-
dictional dispute with the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners.
The American Federation of La
bor's Executive Council was notified
in Miami that the machinists will
pay no more dues into the A. F. l..
treasury until the machiniStS are
given certain mechanical work being
done by carpenters. particularly in
the erection of buildings.
E. c. Dawson, secretary-treaSurer
of the machinistS, said he had sent
the demand to William Green, pres
ident of the A. r. L., and all coun-
Gil members on instructions of the
machinists' council.
Pay $4,000 Year.
Mr.. Dawson denied, however. that
refusal to pay dues automatically
dropped the machinists from the
A. p. L. He declared this matter
would be up to the next general
A. F. L. convention. The machin-
lists have membership of some
225, 900 and pay $45,0O0 to $50, 900
annually into the A. F. L. treasury.
The carpenters, 1t was said, now
have a peak membership Of some
300 900.
Mr.. Dawson said that since 1914
A. r. L. conventions have been
granting to machinists the right to
build, erect and maintain machin-
cry" and that the Executive Coun-
Gil has refused to carry out the
wishes of the conventions.
VIII Be Up to Convention.
1--WE believe our action will force
the Executive Council either to obey
the orders of the conventions or to
reopen the whole matter before the
next convention. 1t then will be
up to the convention to decide
whether to enforce our rights or
drop US IION1 LIE "A r L.
Under authority granted by the
Executive Council, Mr.. Dawson said.
carpenters install air. conditioning
machinery in new buildings, along
with pumps, refrigerating and heat
ing equipment. He declared this
was a clear infringement on the
field of the machiniSts.
Mr.. Dawson said the maChinists
were thrown out" of the Building
Trades Council and have no voice in
the distribution of work connected
with construction.
