THE GOAL CREEKERS.

Continued Arrests OF the Riotoua Miners-
Very Mysterious Absence OF Many Prom
inont Labor LeaderA
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 3S.-Twenty-
three men, supposed to be in sympathy
with the notorious miners, were ar
rested near Coal Creek to-day and
locked up. Several of the men were
suspected of holding up a train between
Clinton and Coal Creek last Thursday
night One OF the suspects 10 Jim Hat
maker, son Of John Hatmaker, who led
the attack on the stockade Mt Oliver
Springs last Tuesday. Every attempt
is being made to apprehend the elder
Hatmaker. He was Of the greatest
prominence in oil the mining troubles
and is supposed to have escaped to
Kentucky.
Another man who Is wanted Is L. A.
Rocher, q German, who, for the past
year, has conducted shooting gallery
on the creek. He 10 practiced sharp
shooter, and last week went to n high
point overlooking Fort Anderson and
erected small barricade. From behind
this he kept up constant fire, and 1t
is believed he killed Private Smith.
Proof sufficient TO show that he Is an
anarchist Of pronounced views has been
discovered He has been very active
among the miners since his arrival ut
Coal Creek, and many believe that he
has directed in person the attempts on
property and human life recently made
in that vicinity.
All the leaders prominentin the labor
troubles Of the past nineteen months,
save Lindsay, are absent from Coal
Creek on what will prove to be IN ex-
tended vacation to the deluded miners
and citizens, who were led into open
rebellion against the state and are left
to suffer all the penalties
George E. Irish, well known in Coal
Creek, who has been known and recog-
nized for months as leader and adj
wiser of the miners, was arrested at
Lyons View by Deputy Sheriff Hall,
the arrest having been made in accord
ance with orders from Gen. Carnea

Augusta. Kan, By Four Masked Men,
Who We're Captured aud Proved TO BE
Farmers.
AUGUSTA, Kan, Aug. 22.-The reg
ular eastbound st Louis & San Fran
cisco passenger train was robbed n few
miles east of this city Saturday night
by four Butler county farmers The
robbers have been arrested ind all OF
the stolen money except few dollars
has been recovered.
The train reached here on time, nj
11:21, Saturday night Nothing unusual
occurred until it was passing over Wal
nut bridge, one mile east Of ths depot,
when Engineer Dale was startled at tho
sight of masked man climbing down
over the coal in the tender of his en-
CINE. The man showed q revolver in
the engineers face and commanded
him to stop the train. The fireman
was also covered with revolver.
The engineer brought the train to a
stand still and confederates in the rear
uncoupled the Wells Fargo express car.
The engineer was ordered to pull ahead
nearly mile and stop.
Several shots were fired and Express
Messenger Shipp was forced to admit
the mask mened to the cars. He had bar
ricaded the doors, but was without
arms to defend himself. The
robbers poured dozen shots
through the door and he had no alter
native but to submit The safe was
opened and the bandits took all the
money packages in sight which. 1t is
stated, did not contain more than $4,000.
The robbers then took to the woods
after ordering the engineer to back to
the rest of the train. This was done
and the train proceeded after being de-
layed three-quarters Of On hour.
There were four of the robbers ano
all OF them wore masks. It is thought
one of them boarded the express car at
Augusta and that the others got on al
the Santa Fe crossing. The passengers
were not disturbed and few OF them
knew what was taking place.
Conductor Akers did not give an
! alarm unLll LnC ITdlu ICoShSN DS~N
mont, twenty-six miles away, while he
notified Sheriff Nipp, of Cowley county,
1t Winfield. The latter got out a
special train on the Santa Fe and came
to Douglass, twelve miles east
of here, with several deputies where he
arrested Fred Livingston, Ezra Carter,
! A. A. Barley and Rollins Moffatt for
the robbery. In some manner Sheriff
Nipp had learned of the plot to rob the
train and he knew right where to put
his hands on the robbers Immediately
after he heard the holdup had taken
place. The sheriff and his deputies
surrounded the houses Of the robbers
and they were taken without fight
Indisputable evidences OF their guilt
were found-the masks and the money
some of the packages not having been
opened when the arrests were made
The robbers are now in jail at Win
fold. All Of them are farmers and this
is the first time any of them have beer
| accused of an unlawful deed.

And, lingering over printed page,

With beauties OF Il by-gone age;
But now, / woudcringly watch
Your changcful mood bcwildering play,
And meet host OF hcroincs
In one fair woman Of to-day.
Last summer. wien the daring sun
Dyed your soft cheeks ruddy brown,
As you played tennis. boated, walked
Dressed IN u simple cotton gown
From underneath knitted hood
Your eyes-haif.saucy and half sage
And Observation-Disclosures ut me,
And then called you "Sweet Anne Page"
Ono evening, when upon the stream
That wandcrs by your fathers house
We iioatcd, and my vis-a-v!s
You sat--as quiet as n mouse;
The moonlight touched your upturned face,
Made your gray eyes seem DREAMER yet,
Made the pearls CLEAN upon your throat,
And turned you into Juliet
Passing your house last week, looked
Over the low stone wall and saw
You 10 your three small brothers there
Severely laying down the law
With lifted finger and mlen
So very absolute and wise,
That, minus cap and gown. you were
Fair Portia, in legal guisc
And once saw you when your eyes
Were blazing with an angry light,
When something had been said or done
That sinncd against your sense OF right;
The small, clcnchcd hand, the rigid pose,
The iirm-set mouth and lifted chin,
Carried me back TO Padua
And pretty, shrcwish Katharine.

At best, q very ficeting look,
And which Is far too rich and rare

THE IMPERIAL DRAGON.
How a Criticised Poet Took a
Longed-For Revenge.

The combustion of circumstances
that served to bring Miss Damon to
l. moneylcss but determined was
known to nobody. All that anyone
knew of her was impaired by brief
statement made by the editor OF the
Dispatch to the effect that on certain
clustering afternoon in January she
had walked into the office and asked
for employment. He had declined her
services with thanks but she came
again and again, until one day she
found a vacant desk, sat down at 1t,
and had been there ever since.
she wrote two or three caustic
articles, struck at one or two local
atrocities. and in little while made
an enviable reputation for bitterness
and cynicism. Her name got out and
after that everything malicious and
pupgent that appeared in the paper
was unhesitatingly set down to her
credit.
She was not known outside of the Of
fec, but the impressions that prevailed
concerning her were not fiattering. 1t
was generally agreed that she knew too
much to be young, was too cynical to
be agreeable, and there was u theory
current among the papers readers that
she had been crossed in love and disap-
pointed in her literary aspirations. She
did her work in the daytime and was
little more than u myth to the men
who spent their nights in journalistic
harness. They were frequently ques-
toned about her, and they generally
answered all queries by the broad but
meaning statement that she did not
''run with the gang"
SDon after she began her mark in her
new sphere book of verses appeared,
written by gentleman OF L.,
George Lawrence. Copies were sent to
all The papers, and one of them fell
into the hands of Miss Damon. She
prefaced her criticism with the remark
that the verses were not uniformly
bad, but ranged from bad to very bad.
and then mercilessly impaled the
author to the extent of three-quarters
of q column.
Lawrence had never forgiven her.
He referred to her ever afterward as
''rhe Dragon" and the Imperial
Dragon" The name seemed appropri-
ate and it was generally adopted. The
criticised versider experienced some
satisfaction ut having thus baptised her
with indignation, but he by no means
considered himself avenged, and at the
mere mention of her name his muscles
grew rigid and every artery throbbed
with e wild desire for vengeance.
Being clever with pencil, he made a
sketch of her which embodied the pop
-ular impression that she was q shrew-
ish person of uncertain age, and it was
a source of endless amusement to him
self and friends 1t must be confessed
that Miss Damon's was not the only adj
verse criticism, and Lawrence was
good deal depressed, but not wholly
..subdued. He did not intend to be
.snuffed out in this summary fashion,
however, and though for time he ut
tempted nothing in literary way, he
was casting about for fresh motive,
resolved ut no distant date to make an
other effort. THE Dragon" had recon-
mended prose; he would try prose.
IN the meantime summer had come
and Lawrence was TO spend several
months with some friends in Califor-
mia. When he returned he would 60 to
work in earnest
