God"
How did you receive your instruc-
tionsf"
My instructions were inspirations, and
came from God through my heart"
DO you think you are sane?" asked
Judge Voorhis

ASHLAND, KY, Oct. 20.-The danger
point is considered safely passed in Carter
county. No shots have been fired Inv
strikers since yesterday noon, when the
sheriff gave chase with a large posse and
completely routed them, capturing several
culprits. The men are not members of the
mine workers order, but blacklisted fel.
lows, and adds to the claim of the mine
workers leaders that the fight is none of
theirs. The most outrageous action of the
trouble was when the home of Mrs. John
Walters was attacked and some thirty
shots fired through the windows, The
reason assigned for this is that she told
that her husband was returning at her re-
quest from the Hooking valley of Ohio to
resume work at Straight Creek.
