United mine workers of America, held
June 8, the following preamble and reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The dearest interests of our
country are its constitution and laws,
against every attack upon these there
will, we hope, always be found amongst
us the frmest spirit Of resistance. wheth-
er the viOlaters be employers Of labor, or
their employees; and
Whereas, our attention has been called
10 different articles in the Brazil and
indianapolis papers stating that we, the
miners of Knightsville, are not only
charged with violating the laws Of our
state. by holding up trains on their
transit but impeach us with murder,
denOuncing us as an outrageous and
dangerous class of citizens, statements
records of our country will sustain; and
we further point with pride that never,
in the history of our town or immediate
vicinity, has murder been committed.
nor person or property been endangered
in all our labor troubles.
Therefore, be it resolved, That we re-
gret that the press of our country is so
imposed upon by reporters garbling SEN
sational reports, which reflect upon the
character Of law-abiding citizens, instead
of the facts
And, further, be it resolved, That we
deplore the sad and undmely death Of
william Barr. engineer. and again con-
denim the interfering with all railroad
traffic"
BRAZIL, June 1.-THE trial of the
fourteen strikers charged with murder
ing Engineer Barr on the Vandalia last

A Bold YANKEE CAPTAIN.
HE RCNs AWAY FROM 4 CANADIAN
CRUISER.
Falsely Accused of Violating the Law
He Pays No Heed to Commands or
shots and Sails Away from His Pur-
suer.

GLOUCESTER, Mass. June 1.-THE
schooner Lohring b. Haskell, of this
port. has arrived home from the banks
and Capt. Day tells the story of her es-
cape from the Canadian cruiser Vigi-
liant on last Monday. He states that on
Saturday, June ?. the Haskell ran into
Cameo for supplies. One man wanted
to remain there but the captain would
not consent and for revenge. he believes,
the man told the authorities that the
Haskell had shipped men in Liverpool
in violation of law, and as a result the
Vigilant was notified 10 seize the vessel.
As the Haskell was passing Port
Hawkesbury the Vigilant's bow lay di-
rectly in her path and ordered her to
stop. As Capt. Day had a perishable
cargo and it would be spoiled if the
schooner were seized, he refused to obey
the order The Vigilants guns were
called into play and three shots were
fired at the fleeing schooner but she did
not stop and in an hour left the cruiser
far astern. Capt. Day says: Il have
violated no law, for 1 took out a fishing
license in Liverpool and one in New
foundland and have the right to lay in
harbor twenty-four hours without re-
porting at the custom house."

Waite early this morning, In response to
a telegram from Gen. Brooks. command
ing the militia at Cripple Creek. inform
ing him that the deputies were advanc-
ing on Bull Hill. ordered the following
telegram sent Gen. Brooks:
If as you say, Sheriff Bowers admits
that the deputies refuse TO obey his orders
and are acting In defiance thereof, thsy are
not a lawful body. are only armed ma
rauders, and you must treat them as such.
Order them 20 lay down their arms and
disperse. II they refuse to obey and you
have not force enough to suppress this new
insurrection. notify me and l VIII call out
enough organized militia to enforce the
order
Commissioner Boynton in command OF
the deputies was shown the order and
Immediately wired his attorney, the Hon.
c. 5. Thomas, Of this city, for advice.
Mr.. Thomas sent the following reply:
Mr. Boynton-The sheriff OF the county,
engaged in enforcing orc'er, subduing or at-
tempting 10 sUbdue armed resistance TO the
law or authorities or in overcoming those
who defy the service Of process, IS dis
charging the obligations Of his Office and
maintaining civil government In doing
this he may call to his AID and deputize
as many citizens as may be necessary and.
no power, not even the federal government -
has lawful authority TO interfere with or
disarm them.
Boynton denies that Sheriff Bowers has
lost control of his men or that they ers
a disorderly body.

concealed where cOncealment is possible.
Allen estimates that fifty or sixty shots
were fired by both sides. 1t was not
strictly battle Of bullets. as those of
the strikers who were not armed were
busy throwing stones. The only injuries
inflicted to the deputies were by such
missiles.
Sheriff Richardson sent Deputies Rich
ards and Allebach to the scene and ten
deputies arrived from the valley about
the same time. The force was soon in
creased to twenty men. each with a
Winchester. The last Of the strikers,
lingering at a safe distance. then dis
persed, leaving the authorities In pos
session. No move was made to care for
the wounded
Late tonight the two Slavs most seri-
ously wounded were taken TO the cot
tage hospital at Connellsville for treat
ment They are fatally injured, being
shot through the hips. DR.. Smith, who
attended them, says they can live but a
shAt time. At dark the man VINO was
killed was still lying where he fell and a
canvas had been stretched over him.
Coroner Baton said he would view the
bodies tomorrow.
The Dead and Wounded.
The sheriff and his attorney will ask
for full investigation. The names Of
the dead and wounded cannot be learned
as yet, nobody but the strikers know
them. Their names are on the records
of the Mcclure company, but they were
not available, as the company refused to
give out any information in connection
with the affair. They are all Slavs. The
man instantly killed was shot through
the breast. Another man was shot
through the arms, but his wounds are not
dangerous. He was among the number
arrested and placed in Jail.
The deputies identified six Of the more
active strikers in the fight and subse-
quently arrested them. They are now
in jail here.
Another detachment of deputies was at
once formed to go in search Of the four
men held prisoners by the strikers.
No trace of them has been seen and il
ii feared they have been murdered by the
strikers in revenge for the loss Of the
men hurt in todays battle. 1t is known
that on the eve of the battle the work
men We're subjected to the most inhuman
and barbarous treatment.
At O'Clock six more strikers were ar
rested at Lemont and sent here to Jail,
1t is officially stated that at least 20C
more arrest will be made as the result
Of the rioting and kidnapping. Matt Allen,
who had charge Of the men who stopped
the charge Of the mob today, is only
twenty-three wears old.

The instant the strikers stopped firing
the officers stopped also, glad enough to
have things go that way. The strikers
began at once to carry away the wounded.
The dead man and two who were fatally
wounded were left in the road where they
fell. but there were others who were able
TO get away with a little assistance. There
were so many shots fired at close range,
the firing being continued for a quarter
of an hour, that a number of the strikers
must have been hit.

Thomas Pratt. an old resident of this
city. was founddead in his bed Saturday
morning. Pratt's store on College hill
has long been the meeting place of a half
dozen friends and old time comrades OF
the proprietor. Friday night, when his
friends came in, Mr.. Pratt told a dream
he had had the night previous. He had
dreamed that he was dead, Yet he pos
sessed the power to see all that went on
about him, though he was unable TO
move or speak. He had noted the prep
arations for his burial, and he even
named the half dozen friends who served
as pallbearers. he also told of the fu-
neral services being held in the Memo
rial hall. and Of his ride to the cemetery,
and the lowering of his coffin into the
grave. And when the first dirt was
thrown upon the box he awoke from the
trance and called to his comrades, and
they drew him from the grave. The
pallbearers of the dream were the pail
bearers at his burial, which was from
the Memorial hall.-Valparaiso Qnd.
