had met with an ugly fall in an earlier race
which he won, but be went around the track
at good gait, closely followed by Close

lead to so yards, but when the last half was
reached Close made q spurt, and as he
entered the home stretch had reduced the
distance one-half. Both came down the
stretch at a terrific speed, Close gaming
rapidly, and Just as they reached the wire
he forged ahead an inch or two-just suth-
cient TO win the race. 1t was most ex-
citing finish, and brought out cheers that
were only checked when,i 1t was found that

TWELVE MINERS Shot
General Anderson Orders the
Soldiers, at Coal Greek,
to Fire
Conductors and Engineers in
Sympathy With the Strik-
ing Switchmen
Yardmen on the Louisville and
Nashville Want Chicago
Scale Adopted

KNOXVILLE, Aug. l9-Another story
of yesterdays fight at Coal Creek is to
the effect that twelve miners were
killed and twenty wounded. The
attack by the miners was made with
300 men against $50. A return fire
was ordered by General Anderson and
blaze from every side Of the fort
belched out. Some were killed out
right and many wounded. At the
stockade they stopped and the men
clambered over the walls to release the
convicts. The fort is some distance
from the stockade and higher up. The
doors and entrances were thrown open
and the miners were at last in posses
sion. They began to order the convicts
to leave and had them all captured
when General Anderson assembled all
his soldiers at the side the miners were
on and moving howitzer to that side
began to lombard them. The miners
stopped in the work Of releasing the
convicts and turned to get out of the
way of heavy fusilade of rifle bullets.
Again and again their leaders begged
them to fight, but they rushed down
the hill to escape the furious onslaught
of the soldiers. With never a halt and
never a rally they reached the bottom
of the hill bearing twelve dead and
more than twenty wounded miners
with them. They hurried far out Of
sight and reach of the guns. They
then collected their scattered and
wounded forces. 1t is feared that more
than half hundred were wounded
and that there are more dead than
were repOrted.

went down before the smoke had
cleared away and was overcome by gas
Lewis Hartman responded to his cries
for help. He had hardly reached the
bottom before he also grew faint; the
bucket would not bear two. Each
wanted the other TO go up first, but fin
ally Hartman bundled Hulcner into
the bucket and told the men overhead
to hoist. When nearing the top Hulc-
ner fell out, narrowly missing Harman
i'm his fall, struck the rocks, killing
himself Hartman had strength enough
to draw himself and the corpse to the
bucket, but tainted before he could sig

saw the rope shake, thought something
was wrong and hoisted il. When the
bucket and it ghostly burden reached
the top many persons tainted. 1t is
thought that Hartman will recover.

The Firat Silver nnnI

The first transaction recorded with
silver as "A medium of exchaniie was
Abraham's purchase of the Cave of
Machpelah for 400 pieces Of silver. The
money in use in early Biblical times,
first called pieces, was afterwards de-
nominated shekels and half-she ekels, the
word shekel meaning weight. The
next step i'm the manufacture of coin
age was the stamping Of the image Of
the ruling king on pieces of money.
The earliest coins mentioned in the
Bible, called drachms, were In circula-
ton 53S B. G. In 56s B. c., Cresus,
King Of Lydia, issued coin money, and
from that time coinage spread rapidly.
The drachm Of Sybaris was issued 600
B. c.; the tetradrachm Of Alexander l.,
Of Macedon, 500 B. c. About 1857 B. G.
coins had become quite common. A
shekel of the time Of Christ was worth
about 334 cents.

The recent action of the county
school superintendent in dividing
school district No. S, and forming "A
new district to be known as No 66, was
