X PROTECTION.
Coronado Managers Make a Request
of the District Court.

Leadville, Colo, Aug. 27.-Order and
quiet continues to reign here, especi-
ally among the union men. The Off
GERS of the union are cool. ~level-headed
men, and are working hard to maintain
strike quietly and without demonstra-
lions of any kind. The rumor that a
body of SO armed strikers was seen on
the streets yesterday was purely false.
The Coronado since yesterday has
been hosting ore right along, and the
several special officers on duty there
export that there has been no attempt
at interference by the strikers.
1t vas stated tina several mines
would open today with a So scale of
wages, but this was untrue, as the
managers are unwilling to submit to
the demands OF the men.
Leadville people in general, and the
striking miners in particular, deeply
deplore Lne attempts at sensational
ism made by a certain Denver paper.
They want fair play. AS it is. they
nave 10 COiltehu AOt dioHe "Itu tle
strike in their midst, but also with false
reports that injure them in the opin-
ion OF the outside world and keep peo-
pie away from Leadville.
The principal interest of the strike is
centered at the Coronado property.
There are now about 10 men working
there, several of them being under
ground engaged in making repairs in
the drift.
This morning Messrs. H. l. Higgins
and r. Is. Estyy of the Coronado Min
ing company, and Frank Robbins Of
she Elkhorn Mining company, called
on Judge Owens of the district court
and asked for protection to the Coro-
nado. They said that a man, whom
they considered reliable, had told them
that he had overheard one man tell
another that the Coronado was to be
blown up some time today. Judge
Overs at once sen for the sheriff, and.
although the latter did not consider
there was any danger. in order to allay
excitement, he sent 10 special deputies
to the mine with instructions to keep
all persons away from the vicinity.
The story sent out yesterday that
there had been $50 special officers
sworn in is utterly false.

"A Murderer's Hiding Place for the
Body of His Victim.

Selma. Ala. Aug. 27.-Squire Thorn
as, arraigned for the murder of Emma
Kent, was committed to Jail last night
to await further developments. Hun
dreds of negroes heard the evidence in
the case yesterday evening. and inter-
est was renewed. This morning a large
number of them flocked to the swamps
beyond Logan's and searched diligently
for signs of the missing woman Strip
after strip of woods and swamps were
gone over without result. Finally,
about noon, the party had worked their
way to the strip Of swamp just beyond
Lake Lanier, and there they discovered
the tracks of two persons leading into
the swamp, and made while the mud
was soft. 1t had hardened since and
left the tracks OF a man and a woman,
who had evidently walked side by side
into the jungle-like woods. The tracks
were followed for 100 yards or more
when, at a point near two logs. they
stopped. An odor greeted the nostrils
OF the searching party and they began
TO beat about the bush. certain they
would find the woman's body. Soon
they reached one OF the logs, the end
of which was covered with limbs and
sdriftwood. This was removed. The
log was of cypress n was hollow.
From its end the head OF the poor wo-
man protruded. The clothing was bad
Iy torn and the ribs glistened white
through the rents. Those who Knew
her in life identified her by the cloth
ing as Emma Kent, the missing wo-
man. The body was stuffed into the
log feet foremost and carefully covered
from view. No m in the party touch
ed THE corpse. Several of the party
were left to watch it, and the remain
der walked to the city. nearly 10 miles,
to advise the authorities. At 4 o'clock
this evening 80 men marched two
abreast down Broad street to Squire
Pitts office and reported. Mr.. Pitts in
structed them to have all the witnesses
in the case on hand tomorrow after
noon at 2 o'clock, when he will have a
%coroner's jury ~impaneled.
The manner Of the woman's death Is
not Known. She was evidently led into
the woods under some pretext and
murdered on the spot where the body
was wound. Squire Thomas and the
murdered oma were last seen to-
gether near the spot where the corpse
was found. The greatest Indignation
prevails among the negroes and a
hanging bee is generally talked Of
among them.

this is a very important session OF the
convection every body is requested to at
tend. The constitution adopted by the
body last August requires every class 10
he renresented by letter and delegation,
sending one delegate to every ten men,
bers in the class.
We are going to reorganize and elect
new officers for the coming year, and try
to put the convention in shape TO DO
some good and effective work in Grant
parish for the cause Of sacred song. Now
let every one that is interested IN song
be ready to attend. We are expecting
the heat session the convention has ever
had. Yours for sacred song,
Ell GILBERT.
