FIGHT AT BEVIER.
Strikers and Imported Swedes Shoot With
Fatal Results.

Strikers and Imported Swedes Shoot With
Fatal Results.
MACON, Mo-, Nov. 12.-About 200 striking
miners and thirty-tive Swedes stood on
opposite sides of the street in Bevier at 9:8
O'Clock Saturday night and shot at each
other for ten minutes, and as a result
Charles Anderson, young Swede, was
mortally wounded, and two others received
less dangerous bullet wounds. The trouble
then quieted down. No one was arrested
and it is not likely any will be as the par
ties differ as to which fired the first shot.
Thomas Williams, the postmaster of Be-
vier, says he was shot at while standing
in front of his store by some one of the
Swedes and that this started the trouble,
while the new men claim that when three
Of their number were returning from town
some one fired at them from behind the
depot. The telegraph operator at Bevier,
after two shots had passed through his
office, left his instrument and sought
refuge from the flying bullets. None of
the town officers attempted to quell the
disturbance or arrest any offenders. The
sheriff of Macon County summoned a
posse of twenty nren and took them to the
depot at Macon. Here they remained all
night waiting for orders.
Yesterday every thing was quiet, and at
present no further disturbance is looked
for. The operators We're not concerned in
this latest alteration, it being merely
fight between the men. Thomas E. War
dell brought in thirty Swedes from Chi
cage last week, and they will all be set to
work to-day. The mines are now all
working with imported labor. There is a
report which has not been substantiated
that one of the strikers was killed and was
secretly buried.

Here are two stories about Hora,

Here are two stories about Horace
Greeley: Mr.. Greeley was sensitive to
errors in his proofs, and sometimes broke
loose in thunders of reprobation. A serious
blunder of this sort turned the milk Of
Kindness into koumiss, which exploded
and deluged the Office, making printers
and proof readers pale at the element
which engulfed them. An inverted comma
stung him like mosquito. A mistake in
a table Of election returns set him into
such fury as the red flag of the picodor
dindles in the Catalonian bull ''Hender-
son" he said once to the compiler of these
sterile statistics, who had made an error
of two votes in the returns from the Molly
muck-a-muck district in the Mooseluc-
maguntic region of Northeastern Maine.

Henderson was at his post as usual next

at the ordinary hour. II thought Mr..
Greeley discharged you yesterday"
eyes, he did," said Henderson, ''but
didn't put any confidence in what he
said" One day Mr.. Greeley wrote that IL
a man were to shoot haphazard out OF
window he would be morally responsible
for what he might do. In print the "hap-
hazard" became *half-a-yard,o a rhetori-
cal conversion which so depressed Mr..
Greeley's spirits that he had no strength
left to discharge anybody, not even Hem
derson which was his constant resource
in great emotional crises.-M Y. Tribune.
