Palmer's Third Trial.

SACRAMENTO, May 7.-On March
IL, 1892, H. ]. Palmer, Knight
Templar and former superinten-
tendent of ex-senator JIG. Fairs
ranch, in Yolo county, shot and
killed Charles Phleger in a saloon
in this city. Palmer was tried
twice, the jury disagreeing each
time, and was a great expense
to- the Z county. An unusually
large number of witnesses testi-
fed, over 100 being subpoenoed for
the defence. A remarkable feature
about the case is the fact that no
less than four superior judges from
other counties have at various
times occupied the bench because
of the disqualification of the local
judges. The third trial has been
set peremptorily for today.

Coxey's Defense.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May THE
defense had its inning today, in
Police court, where three leaders
of the Commonweal army, Coxey,
Browne and Jones, are on trial for
their May Day demonstration at
the Capitol. From a statement of
Attorney Hyman, for defense, it
was gathered that the defense will
be largely based on the brutality
of the police in clubbing citizens.
1t was to be shown that Coxey
hadn't walked on the grass and
Browne had been driven through
the sbrubbery by the police.

Broke Loose.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May IA special
to the Post-Dispatch from Birming-
ham, Ala, says: "The long expect
ed has happened. About mid
night a mob of strikers and
others, about two hundred strong,
went to the mines of Thomas Price,
at Horse creek, Walker county,
and commenced the work Of de-
struction. The miners at these
places had refused to join the
strikers. The mob first put dyna-
mite under the boiler and engine
in the mines and blew them up.
They then destroyed the main
way to the mines and sup
plies, and other property. From
Prices they marched to Victor
mines few miles distant, and
blew up the railroad car loaded
with timbers. Several other cars
they turned loose down hill and
wrecked. The sheriff at Guthrie
telegraphed Sheriff Morrow, of this
city, and the governor for assist
ance. He also sent a posse to the
scene. only to find the mob
had dispersed. He then wired
countermanding the appeal for
help and now thinks he can take
care of things if no further out
break occurs. Several ring leaders
are known and are being hunted.
Governor Jones has put troops up
on orders in preparation for fur
ther trouble. The operators are in
great alarm, and attacks on Pratt
City and Coalberg miners are now
feared,
