STAGE DRIVER Worsts Lone Highway- man in Duel With Revolvers. Attempt to Rob the Chico West Branch Coach Is Frustrated. —_—— CHICO, Nov. 14.—Plucky T. W. Finch- ley, the driver of a stage on the West Branch line, emerged victorious frem a battle with a lone highwayman at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon and prevented the robbery of his coach.

General Master Workman Burns in his annual message said: The first great struggle between organized labor and a great trust was between the Am- ulgamated Association of Iron and Steel Work- matters not what errors and mistakes are | charged to the officers and members of the gamated Association; the facts are that the steel companies were victorious because of treachery and failure of organized labor to do its duty. The Amalgamated Association pected at least the friendship of the officers end members of the American Federation of Labcr. They received nothing but deception and opposition. It is a question if the Am- algamated Association would have entered the contest under the circumstances if it were not for the promises made and relied upon from the members of the American Federation of Labor to assist them for what they believed to be right. Scores Federation Leaders. During the last great strike of the miners and those affiliated with them, publie, the Knights of Labor and other Inde- pendent labor organizations contributed more 10 the financial aid and success of the miners than the federation, yet the federation re- ceived the credit, and in return they attempt to disrupt organizations better than theirs. In the late steel strike members connected with the American Federation of Labor, after their local organizations refused to contribute to the steel workers, solicited money from in- dependent labor organizations for the purpose of helping the Amalgamated Association men who were affiliated with them. If they had secured any money, or if the steel strike had n won by the workers, the federation would have claimed the credit. The officers and members of this great Federation of Labor had the opportunity of their lives to demon- | strate what they could do; but through fear of their organ- iz n_or the influence brought to bear on some of them, they falled to prove them: | worthy of the name of organized labor. y organization or law that prevents or es_the helping of organized labor finan- ally when in need had better be wiped out, leaders of the American Federation of r did not nt President Shaffer or his organization to win because it might have given the organization and President Shaffer some prestige and prominence.

There are a few combinations that are | better and more favorable to workers than | others, but the reasons are because of the con- exist in many others.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—Representa- tive Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the | Interstate and Foreign Commerce Com- | mittee of the House, and Representative | Sherman of New York, a member of the same corhmittee, had a long conference with the President to-day about the isth- mian canal and Pacific cable legislation. As a result of the consultation, they an | nounced that it was their purpose to press legislation on both subjects at the earliest pessible moment. The canal bill which passed the House at the last session will be reintroduced in substantially the form in which it was passed last winter. No delay is antici- pated in the committee, as the whole sub- ject has been canvassed thoroughly. Colonel Hepburn told the President that the bill undoubtedly would have a large majority in the House. The cable bill will be identical with the one reported from the committee dur- ing the last Congress. It provides for ths laying of the cable by a private corpora- tion under a contract with the Postmaster General, with an alternative provision for the buliding of the cable by the Govern- ment if no satisfactory contract can be made. It is understood that the Presi- dent concurred in the proposed pro- gramme, ers and the United States Steel Corporation. 1t | ex- | labor organization In the city of Pittsburg, the greatest ndus- | been working in harmony, accomplishing some | | ditions existing in a few trades that do not | MASTER WORKMAN BURNS FEDERATION OF LABOR flf)eclares the Organization Headed by Gompers Disgraced Itself in Not Supporting Steel Strikers. e with thelr great numbers, 4 int about twenty miles from this city, zgd ‘when near the top of the hill, a high- wayman with a barley sack over his head sacks wrapped about his feet stepped ?l!'lom behind a tree. Pointing a revolver at the driver, he demanded that whatever valuables were on board be thrown out to him. Finchley made a move for his revolyer, and while he was in the act of drawing his weapon the robber fired at him, but missed. Finchley by this time U ARRAIGNS After a sharp exchange of shots the rob- ber started on a run down Chico Canyon toward the flume. Finchley continued fir- ing, and_ at the last shot the robber dropped his revolver, which he had held in his right hand. After running a few feet the highwayman retraced his steps to where he had dropped the weapon, and picking it up in his left hand continued his retreat toward the bottom of the can- yon. Evidently the robber’s right arm was disabled by the driver’s shot. Finch- ley fired six shots and the robber five. None of the bullets hit _the driver. Thomas Fleck and John Willis, both experfenced mountaineers, started imme- diately on the trail of the robber. Chico Canyon, in which the highwayman is in hiding, is an extremely rough country, filled with ravines and underbrush, and it will_be a difficult matter to track the bandit. Late this evening several county officers left for the scene of the robbery and will take up the chase at daylight to- morrow.

Miss Brown imagines that her sister is destined to eternal damnation and that through love she must brave fiery tor-| ments. She attempted to hurl herself into | the furnace of a railway locomotive yes- terday evening. When the evening train | stopped at the station in Healdsburg the engineer left his cab for a moment anl upon his return found Miss Brown an oc- cupant of the cab. In order to frighten | her into leaving the engine the furnac: | door was thrown open. This was whal | the young woman wanted, and if it had | not been for the quick action of the en-| gineer she would have leaped in upon the | burning_coals. Miss Brown is about 45 years old. Her home is in Ferndale, Humboldt County, but she has been staying with relatives in Healdsburg. The disgrace brought upon the family by her sister’s crime has been felt very keenly by Miss Brown, and her mind has finaily given way under the strain. She will be confined in some in- stitution as soon as the necessary for- malities_can be gone through with. Miss Brown's parents are both dead. They passed out of this world unconseious of the crime with which their daughter, Mrs. Botkin, was charged. Zealous mem- bers of the Seventh Day Adventist faith, they were people of very simple lives, and their children shielded them in their old age from all knowledge of the disgrace that had come upon the family. | | Munyon ..”"'""‘.:S.“i&.‘ cure any case of Ninety per Munyon’sCatarrh Curewill cure catarrhofthe head, throat and stomach, nomatter of how long standing. | _ Nervousaffectionsanddiseases of the heartarecon- | trolled andcured Igunpn‘sNewe and HeartCure.
