THE DAILY SENTINEL. Voi. 9 Grand Junction. Colorado. Tuesday, July 8, 1902. 50c. Per Month. Strike Situation. Chicago, July 7—Hopes of a speedy settlement of the strike of the freight h-iudlera’ union, which was declared to- day, are entertained by officials of the union and members of the state board of arbitration, the officials of the union at a conference told Chairman Job of the board of arbitration, that they were willing to permit employees of the differ- ent companies to meet officials of the same to discuss the wage scale, provid- ing a joint conference should be held at which officials of the union would be permitted to act as advisers to the men. The arbitration board is now working on the matter in an effort to bring about a conference between the railway mana- gers and committees representing the men. As the railroad officials have of- fered this step from the beginning of the controversy there is little doubt the strike can be settled satisfactory to both sides if thj conference shall be arranged Denver, July 7—News has gone to President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America from the Western federation of Miners, headquarters ip Denver, that the southern Colorado coal fields are furnishing material to the trade otherwise supplied by the men now on strike in the east and south. Means will be taken at once to prevent this action, and there is a strong proba- bility that the controversy will extend to Colorado and include the Colorado Fuel aud Iron Co , the Victor Fuel com; any and other corporations said to be send- ing coal east. Official information has reached the miners’ organization to the effect that all of the foreign coal cars from locations east of the Missouri river that are coming into Denver and other cities of the state are being sent to the southern coal Helds for loading to be shipped east again. Some of these cars have been traced by wire and it has been found that thty are going as far east as Pennsylvania. Helena, Mont., July 7.—The trouble at East Helena between employees of the American Smelting and Reffning com- pany and the corporation this afternoon was adjusted and the men will go back to work tomorrow at the old scale. Pueblo. July 7.—All unskilled work- men at the Steel Works were notified of an advance of ten cents in daily wages These men number about 1500. The advance was voluntary and unsolicited on the part of the company. Sioux City, lowa, July 7.—As a result of a conference of representatives of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis aud Omaha Ry. Co., and of the boilermakers machinists and helpers employed by the company, an advance of 25 centa a day in wages has been granted. Soldiers Suicide. Manilla, July 7.—Captain Shellenber- *or of the 10th infantry committed sui cide by shooting at iiigan, in the island >f Mindanao July 4. He was despond ent. Second Lieutenant Thomas Ryan of he Philippine scouts also committed micide by shooting in the interior of the inland of Mindanao June 18 Washington, July 7 —Captain John Shellenberger, whose suicide is reported in the Manila dispatch, was a native of Pennsylvania from which state be was appointed a cadet to the military acad- emy in 1879. After his graduation from the academy he was assigned to the 10th infantry, with which regiment he served continuously, rising to the rank of cap- tain in 1898. Night Officer Jeff Watson last night arrested Thomas Nelson for disorderly tonduct, and placed him in the city jail. Thomas Nelson is the man who came in from Whitewater yesterday and reported 'o the officers that he had found a mao floating in the Qunnison river. At first the man’s story created considerable ex- citement, but it whs afterward learned that Nelson was not mentally responsi- ve for bis actions and the police dis- missed the matter. While Nelson is not insane, he is supposed to be slightly off so far as mental faculty is concerned, and the police believe that his story is one of his own manufacture He had been drinking pretty heavily last night which resulted in his arrest. Ed Hardy and family have gone to Ri- fle Falla where they will spend several weeks in fishing and other recreation. Mr. Hardy will visit several cities in the in the interest of the firm’s business in this city. Miss Agnes Hardy accom- panied them. The night officer last night was obliged to take a hilarious stranger into bis keeping, and, as the beet metbod of keep- ing him out of mischief, be deposited him nt the city waiting room in charge of John Dickerson. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Milton Gilbert of Salida, Colo., July 7, a 9-pound girl. School Board Meeting. The board of directors of school dis- trict No. 1 held quite a lengthy session at the office of the secretary last night About the main thing that was done at the meeting was the adoption of the plans for the new building which is to be erected this fall for school purposes. A large number of plans were submit- ted for the inspection of the board, some of them coming from Denver and Colo- rado Springs and other outside cities. After carefully going over the entire list the board finally adopted the set sub- mitted by Architect J. B. Boyer of this city as being the best in the number. From 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon until after the midnight hour the mem hers of the school board spent the time in carefully reviewing every detail of the various plana submitted, takiug into consideration each item of expense that would be incurred, and making their de- cision according to the plans that were to the best interests of the county. Among all the plans that were sub- mitted for the consideration of the di- rectors there were none that equalled those of Architect Boyer. These were the plane adopted and Mr. Boyer was in- structed to furnish specifications for same within 12 daya. It is certainly a compliment to Mr, Boyer that out of all the plans submitted bis has been select- ed as the beet. It was decided to open school on the second Monday of September. A number of bills were allowed and as many more referred until the next meet- ing to receive the o. k.’s. Nothing was done in regard to the bids for the repairs on the old school buildings and tbe matter was deferred until tomorrow night when the board will hold another meeting. Fire Department Organized. The volunteer portion of the fire de- partment of this city was organized last night at the city hall and fourteen names were enrolled. The law provides for fifteen volunteers, to be organized into a department, who shall work with tho paid portion, and for the actual services at each fire shall receive a stated amount of pay. The volunteers are all experienced in fire department work. A most remark- able fact in regard to the organization is that eight of them are employed witbin a stone’s throw of the hose house, so that in case of a fire they can be on hand at almost the first riug of the bell. The three paid men have been at their placep at the city hall for the past week —ever since their contract with the city went imo effect. John Dickerson, was elected chief of the volunteers, as he has been of the paid department. Mr. Dickerson has been one of the faithful volunteer fire- men of tbe city for several years past and deserves any mark of favor that may be shown him. The department is now pretty well equipped to handle a fire of any propor- tion, and it is well that it is so, as there is no telling at what minute there may be occasion for their serviaes.
