They Defy the Sherif aud Several Of Them
Get Killed.
DENVER Col, Dec. 14.-About two
weeks ago 500 Austrian aud Italian
miners of the Colorado Coal 4 Iron Co.
at Crested Butte struck against Il re-
duction in wages and refused to allow
the company to bring in new men,
stopped the pumps and fans at the
works and allowed them to fill with
gas until there was danger OF the
mine blowing up and paraded the
streets heavily armed, threatening
death to any one who should attempt
to assist the company in any manner.
Friday Sheriff Shares. of Gunnison,
went there with posse of twenty-five
men for the purpose of taking possess
sion and guarding the mines. No sooner
had he and his men alighted from the
train than they were attacked by about
300 armed Siciians and Austrians, who
began firing from their Winchester
rifles.
The sheriff held his men for a mo-
mont and then ordered them to return
the fire, which they did with deadly cf-
feet killing five ltalians-Milse Copui-
cine, Mike Minelon, Mike Guercio,
Mike Warn and John Poche-and
fatally wounding George Simonich and
Matt Grannl, two Austrians.
After the firing the miners retreated
and the sheriffs posse marched up the
hill and took possession of the mines
and threw up redoubts. The miners
are swearing revenge upon every friend
of the coal company and the town of
Crested Butte is upon the verge Of a
riot. Further trouble is feared, which,
If started, will result in many deaths.

still with crossed hand and closed eyes.
That day Pete's tools lay untouched
on the leather-bottomed bench In the
shocmalsing shop, while the dead
woman lay in the narrow Giving
room back of the shop waiting to be
cared for.
Pete put Sonny's NAV away in
humhlest fashion Then he quietly led
the child back into the shop, and shut
the door on the neighbors inquiring
eyes.
When Sonny piped out with little
duaver in his voice: Sonny ahnts
nuzzer dinlx. Sonny dooz," aud then
looked around bewildered in the
silence for his mother Pete reused
himself and said gently Eyer maws
wen away, Sonny. Daddy 'u.l cit it fer
ye."
So daddy" did all that was done for
Sonny.
In the hot summer days Pete smiled
and pegged busily away at the boots
and shoes.
Sonny as busily sat swinging his
small bare feet in the open doorway of
the little shop. or playing with scraps
of red leather Innings.
Pete fashioned Sonny with some
clumsy little aprons, and laced them
up the back, like his shoes, with bits
of leather strings.
Among the neighbors there was a
voluble widow. She it was who had
been most voluble and ofiicious in of
fers of assistance to Pete when ''Son-
ney's NAV died.
But Pete Peculiar had told her gent
ly that he'd ruther do for Sonny :
NAV himself"
The widow did not understand, SC
she had remarlSe ed spitefully to a neigh.
Dor that 'she' d thought Pete Pecoolyur
nd up he'd more fixins an style to her
buryin' ennyhow."
She said furthermore that ''she'd jest
like ter see eff he'd go on smilin' when
he he'd ter do ter Sonny"
SO the widow held up her hands
when she saw Sonny's aprons.
To all of which Pete. pegging away
into the nights to pay for "sonny's
maw's" coffin that was without style
or "fixins" to it, said not word but
worked on,
Well. Sonny grew and grew till he

his thumb and the small, leather
latched aprons.
One night Pete sat up later thar

CHIEF nENNEssY AVENGED.

The Eight Italians Accused of His
 Murder I.ynched in New Orleans
 This Morning.
 NEW ORLEANS, March If A mob of several hundred people, incensed at the verdict of acquittal given by the jury in the trial of the murderers of Chief of Police Hennessy, made rush upon the parish jail this morning, overpowered the jailors, broke into the cells of the Ital- ians and shot and hung the eight men. The whole city is thrown into an uproar over the affair and the widest excite ment prevails. Among the mob who conducted the lynching were many prominent citizens. The Italians beg ged and fought terribly for their lives, but not one escaped. s .a I
 Last night several meetings were held by the committee of order, at which it was openly claimed that the jury had been bribed. Lynch law was advocated on the ground that repeated trials have proved that it is impossible to convict italians of murder. The prison was not we'll guarded and the large body of men in the mob easily forced an entrance.
 The Italians were members of the gang who waylaid Chief of Police Hen- nessey several months ago and riddled his body with buckshot, killing him almost instantly.
