road any engine in moving interstate
traffic not equipped with power dry
ing-wheel brake or to run tram WITH
out sufficient number of such brakes
attached to the cars to control the train

in interstate commerce to haul over Its
line. or permit to be hauled, any car

Plimmer Bests Dixon.

NEW York, Aug. 22.--Madison
Square Garden was filled with people
tonight to witness the sparring bouts
between George Dixon and Billy Plim-
mer and several other well-known
pugilists. Dixon went at his man with
will, but found Plimmer ready to give
as we'll as he took. Plimmer held his
ground throughout the first round in a
mastery manner, and worked up the
crowd to state of frenzy. In the
second round Plimmer smashed Dixon
when and where he pleased, and set the
house in an uproar. Dixon led some
vicious left-hand swings, but did not
appear able to land. Every time Dixon
led in the third round Plimmer went
back at him and gave him blow for
blow. Plimmer fought Dixon all over
the ling in the fourth and last round.
When the verdict of the referee was an
nounced, giving the decision to Plimmer,
it seemsd as though pandemonium had
broken loose, and when Plimmer at
tempted to leave the stage the crowd,
now beyond all restraint, grabbed
Plimmer and threw him on their
shoulders and carried him round the
hall in triumph.

United Press Dispatch by Special Wires
WEIR CRY, KAN, Aug. 23.-An ex-
change of shots between a negro miner
and crowd of strikers has wrought up
excitement here to the danger point. A
negro miner came into town yesterday
morning from the coal and coke country
after supplies. He was recognized as
ono of the negroes who took the strik-
ers' places and crowd gathered. The
crowd jeered at the negro and when
they discovered he had revolver in his
hip pocket, they made a rush for him.
The negro drew the revolver and fired
in the air.
The crowd did not hesitate and the
negro then fired at them point blank, at
the same time taking TO his heels in the
direction of the mines. The crowd fol-
lowed, firing as they went, and the
negro turned at times to fire at his pur-
suers. The negro was feet footed and
reached the stockade before his pursers.
The encounter has stirred up the miners
to pitch OF frenzy, for they believe
now that the company has armed all its
men. A company of strikers was
armed yesterday afternoon and they
drilled all the rest of the day according
to regular military exercises.
A meeting was held last evening at
which Thomas Horsley, one of the
leaders spoke. He urged the miners to
arm themselves to the teeth and to begin
vigorous warfare at once. 1t was
planned to attack the stockade at the
Kansas and Texas mine, No. 90, to-day
and drive the working miners away. 1t
is feared serious trouble will follow if
the plan is carried out.
