This is the third time this case has been
up for trial. At the last two terms they had
Q hung Jury" which has resulted in an iu-
dictment for perjury, and it is quite likely
this present grand jury will indict at least
one if not two of the last jury
The panel being called, it was found
only four men were eligible to serve. The
Court instructed the sheriff to summons
forty Of the best men in the county and not
to take the professional jurors who came to
town court times to be picked up on the
jury. The best citizens of the county hope
this viii settle this case, as it has already
cost the State several thousand dollars.
The Upshur Handle Company, whose
factory was destoyed by fre on the night of
the 23d of last month, have decided not to

The Alleged Participants Released-Sthtns
of the Coal Strike ON the Union Racifis.
CHEYENNE, W., October 1.-THE Tribune
publishes the following special from Greene
River: "The grand jury, which has been IN
session here since last Friday, entered court
yesterday and reported no bill against the
sixteen persons arrested in connection with
the Chinese riot at Rock springa About
thirty witnesses have been examined, and
the jury have been very thorough in their
investigation OF the affair, but it is runored
that the case will be taken into the United
States Court"
There is great excitement at Book
Springs over the release of the alleged riot
ers. The accused were met on their return
from Green River last night by several hun-
dred men, women and children, and treated
to a regular ovation. The mines are turn
ing out about half the usual quantity Of
coal The company is importing many
Mormons to Eli the places Of the blacklist
ed miners. One hundred more Chinamen
we're brought from the west Monday night.
A dispatch from RaWlins says that owing
to the strike of coal miners on the Union
Pacific system, people living along the road
are likely 10 suffer from 3 coal famine. ghe.
railroad coal agent fksssie unable % AA or
ders and the scarcity Of fuel is beginning
to be severely felt. Reports from other
points are to the effect that the company are
not filling local orders, claiming that they
need all the coal they can get for their own
use. Should cold weather set in much suf,
feripg is sure to ensue.
At Carbon the strikers will remain firm
in their demands and the mines are ali
idle. A force OF twenty men arrived from
Omaha on Monday night, and are guarding
the Union Pacific buildings. The miners
say their presence is wholly unnecessary,
as they have no intention Of molesting the
company's property. No trouble is likely
TO occur here unless an attempt is made to
bring Cinnamon in.
