1t Arouses Great Enthusiasm Among
HIS Many Friends at Laurel.
Special correspondence OF Gazette and journal
LAUREL, Jan. 13.-The news of Major l.
]. Wootten's confirmation as Indian agent
has created great enthusiasm here. The
fight made against him through George E.
Smith, with the vdzette and Senator
Higgins as aids, has long since become
recognized as personal persecution and
their slanderous statements have carried
little force. Mr.. Wootten's victory in the
face of such opposition is one of which he
may we'll feel proud. and his hosts of
friends were thronging his place of bust
ness last night to congratulate him.
The Gazette came out with scurrilous
article headed with the portrait of Ainjor
Wootten and two negroes, and evidently
from its very boastful language was not
aware of his confirmation. The ridiculous.
ness of their article, in view of the facts,
has made the editor guy of the com.
munity.
George Nelson's store near the depot
was entered by burglars, Thursday night
and quantity of tobacco and cigars
stolen.

PENNSY MINERS STRIKE.
They Do So to Assist the United
Mine Workers. Union.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 25, 1894-The
miners strike has spread to the mines oper-
ated by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and it is
expected that the big system will be tied up
within few days. Yesterday 5000 miners
employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in
the mines along the. .Kiskiminetas River, be-
tween Allegheny Junction and Blairsville
intersection, on which the entire eastern
division of the Pennsylvania Railroad from
Altoona to Philadelphia is depennent for
fuel, stopped work and decided to assist the
United Mine Workers Union in the ma
tional movement
The miners say this will cause the inme-
diate SUSPENSION of traffic on the West Penn
sylvania division of the Pennsylvania road,
which is also supplied from the Kiskiminetas
mines and they expect that the suspension
of work will cause serious interruption to
traffic on the eastern division of the main
line within few days.
A big mass meeting Of the miners will be
held at Leechburg today and an organization
formed. Men employed in these mines
are about the best class of miners
employed anywhere in the State. and their
action in going out in support of the United
Mine Workers Union was unexpected, and
has created great enthusiasm among the
miners of this district. The men decided to
strike yesterday afternoon and left the pits
last night to not return until the miners of
the whole country are victorious. The move
ment is for two purposes:-First, to redress
a local grievance of over one years stand
ing, and second, to assist the United Mine
Workers Union in its struggle. It will
probably influence complete suspension of
work in the bituminous coal fields of Penn
sylvania with the next day or two.
Up to last midnight companies operating
ten mines in the Pittsburg district had CON
ceded the miners demands of 70 cents per
ton. The concessions will not be accepted
until all the operators have taken similar
action

THE BATTLE ON.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 25, 1894.-Private de-
spatches received at Northern Pacific Head
quarters this morning are to the effect that
the Sheriff from Livingstone, Montana, with
a large posse has succeeded in overhauling
the Butte Coxeyites at Columbus, Montana,
and that there is pitched battle now in
progress for the possession of the Northern
Pacific train stolen by the Common
wealthers.
It is stated by Great Northern official
that Organizer Hogan is at the head of the
Butte contingent, and this is the reason he
left the Great Northern Conference Com
mittee and returned to Montana.
Lathr dispatches state that troops have
been sent from Fort Keogh to assist the
Sheriff in case of necessity.
