Four hundred block coal miners met at
Knightsville today and passed the fol-
lowing:

called of the whole block coal region at
Shattuck's grove, Brazil, Wednesday, the
goth, at 10 O'clock

accepting the present scale adopted at
Columbus.

Meetings have also been held at Car

Macoupin county, last week found in

the arrest of 10 miners charged with

Last Saturday night United States
Marshal Brinton and seven assistants
made an effort to arrest the guilty ones
on these warrants. but to no avail, as
they were surrounded by the angry
miners and forced to release their prison.

however, this evening the guilty ones
are being arrested as fast as found.
Twenty-Five have been taken into Gus

secret meeting today and passed resolu-

Willing to Go to Work.

TERRE HAUTE. June 1s.-SpeciaL-
Despite the action of the convention here
Saturday. the general feeling is that the
miners of Sullivan county will return to
work. at least in part, during the next
few days. The Star City company has
secured about fifty new men, who will
be put to work in day or two at Alum
Cave. The men are willing and anxious
to return to work. The delegate from
this mine Saturday did not think the
men would abide by the decision of the
convention here.

were conditions high it would yet be too
early to form opinion to crop re-
suits. AS fruit does not recover from a
low condition early in its history, as other
products often do, ii is safe to construe
the extremely low figures into a practical
failure Of the crop. The condition for
1894 in the states producing the CONNER
cial crop. as compared with 1898. makes
a poor showing for this year follows:
New Jersey, 1893, 104; 1894, So; Delaware,

,Iiners, pemnnds Refused.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. June 1s.-Conn-
mittees Of miners throughout the Spring
field sub-district presented a scale OF
prices to each operator today and re-
ouested acquiescence in their demands.
The operators refused and will hold a
convention here tomorrow. They say the
miners demands are extravagant. being
10 cents more than was paid when the
strike was inaugurated, and that they
will not pay them. Charles Ridgeiey,
president Of the Consolidated coal COM
pany, owner of .cighty-th-ee mines in
southern Illinois, declined to state at
present the actidr his company would
take. It is said he mine operators Of
the Sprin gfisld district had offered today
to pay the scale demanded by the miners
on condition that operators all over the
state would pay the scale and that the
union would not agree to this.

The situation at brazil.

BRAZIL, June 1S.-The miners Of this
city met today to decide whether they
would return to work In a body or stand
by the decision of the state convention.
AS other points of the county were not
represented is was decided to hold a
mass meeting Wednesday. when a final
settlement will be reached, as both block
and bituminous miners will be represent
ed. The block miners are greatly dis
satisfied and few returned to work to-
day, although it is claimed quite a num-
ber will resume work tomorrow. Most
of the operators have expressed a will
ingness to pay the price.

IRONWOOD, Mich, June 1S.-Today's
threatened strike of the Gogebic range

SOUGHT FREEDOM WITH DEATH.
0cs Peree Horses Followed Their Leader
Over the Cliff

The hardy little Nez Perce horse is
quite well known in a way, but few
people know what remarkable courage
aad sagacity he has. When the Indian
var swept the Nez Perce country. the
Indians gathered about 5000 horses
into valley that 'front.' ON the steep
bluffs of the Columbia -.ver, and there,
with the great white mountains at their
back, prepared to make their last des-
perate stand
In the battle that followed they were
defeated, and the small fraction of them
that remained unkilled put to flight.
The horses, shut in by the steep noun
tains on the one side and the steep river
bluff on the other, had to be left behind.
When the battle had closed, the SOL
Aiers of the volunteers (for only part
were regnlars) made a rush for the
horses, but they could not lay hands on
Sne of thcm or approach them.
And now for the first time it was no.
ticed that they were under a boy herder.
The boz was unarmed, entirely naked
and as red as copper.
The BOY had no bride, but wove his
hands into the name, and thus guided
his ack horse at will at the head Of
The Ierd.
TIE volunteers dropped on their knees
her and there around tho edge of the
sircle and began to fire at the boy, At
last bullet struck him. His body few
high into the air and then fell and rolled
IN the dust.
The horses now divided as they came
b.. Their nostrils were distended at tho
smell of blood, and their eyes ablazo at
Ghe sight of their young keeper in the
Dust.
On the second round, after the boy
fell, the black leader seemed to run
Qdewise, his eyes fastened to his little
dead master until they looked frightful
from under the black name.
He plunged on around and came to
she very edge of the beetling basalt
bluff. Then there was sight as of q
sculptured image Of horse poised in
midair, and mad, wild cry, such as a
horse makes but once-a cry indescrib-
ablc-that filed the valley
Men looked away, and when they
looked back the black statue was gone.
Then, faithful to the leader, over the
bluff into tho foaming white water went
smother horse.
And then 10, so, 500, the whole
5000, Not ono Of all tho herd was left
to the invading victors, and the stream
was literally choked with the dead
