1 his amount d »es iot include
the sinking fund in the hands of
the gov«r iment, 1 taking this
to be $4,056,4' the amount
stated in the government decree
covering tie sale of the road the
total paid for proper y was $27,-
264,822,96. There weie no other
bidders ai d the road went to the
reorganization committee without
opposition.
The sale of the road’ was in its
self one of the tamest and most
uninteresting performances possi
ble to imagine.
The crowd which was not over
590 all told was packed so closely
around the doorway and up in
front of the center of the build
ing that the members of the
reorganisation committee, the
men who came out to buy the
road, were unable to see anything
or to here a word of what was go
ing on.
Under the terms of sale the
purchasers Jiave ninety days in
which to pay over the fn'l amount
of the purchase money and that
part of th? transaction will be
carried out in New York in the
future.
The government has now the
sinking fund of the road and the
amount of the guarantee put up
by the reorganization committee:
this is just about 10 per cent of
the full perchase price of the road.
To-morrow at the same time
and at the same place as the
sale today was held another sale
wiil be held under the foreclosure
of the trust deed securing the
Kansas bonds which constitute
the first lien on the road.

as there is a trading post there.
The supply, however, largdy
consists of flour.
Four of the boats are ice-bound
250 miles east of Point Barrow.

WOUNDED INA RIOT
LABORING MEN COME TO-

UNION VS. NON-UNION
Several Volleys Fired, But no
One Killed Outright
Scottdale, Pa., Nov. 2. A riot
occurred here Inst night in which
Henry Gillespi, John Jordin and
Manager Skimp, of the Scottdale
lion and Steel Company, were
badly injured.
a union man, Frank
Ke Hz, was beateu into insensibili
ity by non-union iron workersand
Keltz’s fellow workmen showed
'I vengeance.
Manager Skimp, fearing trouble
when his men quit work, formed
thirty or forty of them into line
ard marched up Pittsbuig street.
At Broadway a large crowd had
gathered andjfour of the marchers,
with drawn revolvers, stepped to
the front] and ordered tbe crowd
back. This was responded to by a
shot followed by a regular fusil
lade fully fifty shots bjing fired
neaily all coming from the non
union men.
Manager Skimp was shot in the
left foot and was struck by a
stone or brick on the left side of
the head and is seriously though
not dangerously wounded.
‘ Henry (Jilleapi was shot through
the right arm, the ball passing
through an artery, and he almost
bled to death before the wound
could be dressed.
John Jordan had three fingers
shot off.
Several others were slightly in
jured by being struck by stones.
From th? nutfiber of shoes
fired, it is almost miraculous that
no cue was killed oulright.
Gillespi claims that he started
for a place of safety. He claims
that he was fired at by Manager
Skimp.
Thomas Gil'espie, a brother of
Henry, states that he saw Man
ager Skimp fire three shots in the
direction of Henry. He will swear
out a warrant for the arrest of
Manager Skimp for felouioes
shooting. Four non union m»n
were arrested.
