make that gas leak all right" As soon
as they were inside they assaulted Mr..
Snyder and after desperate struggle over

with such violence that his shoulder was
dislocated. Two of the men tied his hands
and feet and the third one then jumped
at Mrs. Snyder. She was pairing
apples with large knife and be jerked it
out OF her hand and in so doing cut the
third finger of her right hand. The brute
then choked her until she was unconscious

hands and feet and one of them stood on
her breast and trsmped her face. Her

Trouble Apprehend ed.

ST. LOUIS, No, March 2.-Reports from
Eslsngton, Ky Gays $50 coal miners quit
work there yesterday. Trouble seems to
have grown out Of the recent organization
of lodge of the Knights of Labor there.
The miners claimed their coal was not be-
ing fairly weighed and demanded that >
Knight of Labor should be appointed to
weigh it. To this the operators decidedly
objected aud the men walked out Of the
mines. The operators say that they can
procure other men to dig coal, but the
strikers assert the new men shall not work,
and trouble is spprshsndsd.
