MINERS STRIKE
Because They Bave Been Paid In Orders
for Six Months.

BeCHu1e They hHNO IlboH hIN III OF uCKo
for Six Months.
Thirty or forty coal miners employed
at Schick's bank, Bellaire, went out on
a strike Monday. Their grievance
was the non-payment of wages in cash
for period OF about six months. The
miners have been paid In orders, which
have been willingly accepted by mer-
chants In Bellaire, but became dissatls-
fed and demanded payment OF wages
In cash.
The six mines owned by Schick have
been furnishing coal to the B. & D. 1t
is now probable that B. s. O. engines
will receive coal at Moundsville.

SACRAMENTO, June 27.-Today's out
break at Folsom prison was not unex-
pected. About three months ago the
warden received reliable information
that Evans and John Sontag and their
friends were about to make an attempt
to carry the prison by storm and release
George Sontag. Without making any
fuss about it, or even notifying the Off
GERS, with the exception of Captain
Murphy and Deputy Warden Hughes,
Warden Aull prepared to receive the
company. Several picked men from
various parts of the state were sent for
and placed in responsible position. New
guns and pistols were distributed. In
fact, everything was put in order for a
desperate fight. So quietly was this
done that neither the guards nor the
convicts suspected that anything unus-
ual wes about 10 happen.
While the battle was in progress the
whistle blew and the balance OF the
convicts, although very excited, were
marched into the prison in good order.
The killed are az follows: A. Dalton,
years, burglary first degree, San Fran
cisco.
Hy Wilson, 20 years, burglary, Solano
county.
Fran Williams. United States convict,
life, San Francisco.
The wounded are:
George @. Conant, alias Sontsg, life,
robbery, Fresno county; right leg badly
broken in two places and wounded in
the left thigh; will lose leg and prob
ably his life.
Charles Abbott, life. murder, San

several shots about body and face.

By the Associated Press
FOLSOM, CAL, June 27.--At $3.50 this
afternoon gang OF convicts employed
in the upper quarry, next to the head
gate OF the big dam. consisting OF George
Sontsg, brother of John Sontag, the
bandit, .life-timersF Russell Williams,
Ben Wilson and Charley Abbott and a
10-year convict named Dalton, suddenly
seized Frank Briare, lieutenant OF the
guard, put pistol at his head and
started together to run up the hill. Be-
fore reaching the top Of the hill it de-
veloped that they had two Winchester
rifles and an additional revolver which
had been concealed among the rocks.
Up to this time the guards had been
unable to shoot, as Briare was in the
group of the would-be escapers, and as
they were closely banded together, q
shot might have meant death to him.
just before reaching the summit of
the hill Briare jerked away, and the
guards opened fire from all directions.
The convicts took to the rocks, concealed
themselves as best they could, and re-
turned the fire as rapidly as possible.
The regular guard was soon reinforced
by reserves from the prison, and ter
rife fight took place, which lasted fully
bali an hour. during all of which time
shots were fred Unfortunately from
Gatling guns, Winchester rifles and re-
volvers as rapidly as the triggers could
be pulled.
At the end of about 80 minutes one OF
the convicts held up his hat on rife as
a token of surrender, and Warden Aull,
Captain Murphey and q few guards ad-
vanced to the convicts' stronghold, where
they found Williams, Wilson and Dalton
stretched out dead on the ground.
George SontaR was badly wounded by
three or four bullets. He had one bad
shot through the body and two through
the thigh. Abbot was groaning with a
broken leg.
At the beginning of the fight two
prieoDers were wcaRded, bat s.wsreimne-
diatey carried into the prison by other
convicts. 1t is not known outside the
prison who they were.
None of the prisoners escaped, nor
were any of the guards injured in the
Scrimmage. Warden Aull speaks in the
highest terms of the bravery displayed
by the guards, saying they all stood up
manfully. not one showing the white
feather.

RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.

Another Account of the Fight With
Conyicts at Folsom.
SACRAMENTO, June GA special to
the Record d-Union from Folsom says that
while in the quarry Guard Sriare found
himself confronted with two Winchester
rifles, two pistols and huge dirk in the
hands OF the convicts. Briare was DOW
erless, and they forced him up the hill
with come difficulty. Guards Prigmole,
Ayers and Fitch, who were Immediately
over the quarry, were for moment de-
tered from firing for fear Of hitting
Briare. As the convicts resched the top
of the cliff, Briare, who had been wait
ing for an opening, by a violent effort
freed himself from all but one, aud
jumped down a steep cliff. Frank VIII
son was also knocked off the cliff back
into the quarry, leaving five despera-
does-Soniag, Williams, Wilson, Abbott
and Dalton-on top of the cliff.
Guards Prigmore, Fitch and Ayres
then open fire on the convicts, which
was supplemented by Guards Taylor
and Payne, from across the river. The
convicts lodged behind the heavy rocks
and at once returned the fire; centering
upon Guards Fitch and Prigmore, both
of whom were in the open. Captain
Murphy, who was in the vicinity of the
power house, climbed the hill, and.
taking Guard Considine's gun, ioined in
the fight.
Warden Aull was in his office, and at
the frat alarm secured his own Win
chester and cartridges and was driven in
a cart by Deputy Warden Hughes to the
scene of conflict, which had assumed the
proportions of a battle. When the war
den reached the upper side of the battle-
field be sent for extra guards, in the
meantime joining in the fight with
Guard Fitch.
The bandits were finally located in g
hole behind a pile of boulders, and as the
force OF guards increased steady fire was
kept directed at this particular spot.
which was occasionally answered by the
convicts. After placing the guards the
warden directed all hands to fire all to-
gether. and for the space of minute
perfect storm OF lead was rained on this
particular spot.
When the firing ceased sontag crawled
out in the open, more dead than alive.
followed by Abbott, neither of whom
could walk. The warden and Captain
Murphy and several guards advanced
toward them at once, when
CHASTITY spectacle met their view.
Williams, Wilson and Dalton were
dead in the hole, lying on top of
each other, their bodies completely rid
died with bullets. Sontsg was hit three
times in the thigh bone and the lower
part of his body. each shot breaking
bones. Abbott had broken leg and
was hit in two other places.
Convicts Duffy and Schell who had
nothing to do with the break, were also
wounded, Schell fatally.
None OF the guards were injured. Two
Winchester rihes, two pistols and large
dirk knife were found in the. hole
where tho bandits had taken refuge.
Dalton was struck Fl times. Williams

1t Is Nip and Tuck Between Yale and
Harvard.
New HAVEN, June 27.-!There was a
mixing up of the Crimson and the Blue
today when Yale and Harvard fought
the second baseball game of the series
out at the Yale field, and Yale won-3
to O; not, however, till the fercsst fight
had been made by Harvard which has
been recorded in college sporting annals
here for long time. 1t was fine
fielding contest, and was won by Yale,
who out-felded and out-batted the Wis
itors. The scoring, however, was all
punched. For seven innings fruitess
battle WAS waged. Not Harvard man
reached third base till the eighth inn
ing, but Harvard even then retired
without scoring. Carter went to first
on safe hit and a passed ball placed
him on second. Murphy knocked out
second single and Carter trotted to third.
As Murphy stole second, the applause
became terrific. Mason dropped the
ball and Carter slid under with the first
run of the game. Highlands lost his
head and threw the ball to center field.
ALI the base runners crossed the plate,
and the scene which followed was be-
yond description. When quiet was re-
stored the remaining Yale batsmen went
out in order. AS the series is Eow tie,
the decisive game will be played in New

was shot through the heart by Guard
Prigmore.
While Guard Briare was rolling down
the hill, the desperate convict kept
striking at him with large hammer he
held in his hand. Briare grabbed it
from him and struck him on the head,
telling him to the ground. He was
merciful. though sorely tempted, and
did not kill him. While going up the
hill one OF the desperadoes held big
knife over Briare and would occasionally
stick him with it, because he would not

Williams, shot directly at him twice.
1t was altogether an exciting occasion.
For nearly an hour the fight went on,
and the warden and his men stood
plainly out, firing at their opponents.
There were not many involved, but
Whist was lacking in numbers was made
up in intensity. Warden Aull WAS as
cool and collected as though cut quail
hunting.
When Record Union reporter and
Deputy Sheriff Burke entered the cap
taiD'e Office the three dead men were
laid out IN o row, and the sight was
horrid one. Dalton was shot in the
shoulders and the heart, and when
turned over his back was fairly
riddled with bullets. Wilson had only
a few shots. Williams' stomach was
filed with bullets and torn and riddled
badly. He must have received full
charge from the Gatling gun.

Sontag was the brains of the crowd,
and it il generally believed that he
planned the whole thing. The weapons
were concealed. no doubt, by some of
his friends, and the attempt was un-
doubtedly precipitated by the apture
OF Evans and Sontag.
The place was fine one for the at
tempt. The quarry is over half way up
the canal and forms a cul de sac OF
about 20 feet. On one eide is the canal
and on two sides are high walls OF solid
granite, the north end being very steep,
with just sufficient slope to allow per-
son to climb. This quarry is guarded dy
three posts and the men in charge of the
convicts. One guard is on the canal,
one directly above and ouso of range, and
one to the north. All OF the posts are
remote from the rest. A slight ascent
brings one out of range OF the canal post.
but in range OF the other two. With
the guard as shield, they would soon
have got out Of range and escaped to tbs
hills.
The convicts who were not injured are
all in solitary confinement. The whole
matter will be thoroughly investigated.
The prison authorities have possession
Of information that of course it could do
no good at present to expose, but un-
doubtedly they will get st the bottom of
most exciting that ever occurred here,
and is all the talk. Like his brother,
Sontag weakened completely when he
