CONFLICT AT MINES.
The Strikers Were The AggressOrs This
Time.

Time.
ST. LOUIS Mo-, Oct. l. THURSDAY
the miners in the employ Of the Mad
ison Coal Company at E~dwardsville,
ILL.,, while going to work were rttackec
by strikers, including 30 or more wo-
men sympathlzers. The strikers
threw stones and red pepper and beat
their opponents with clubs. "ScOtty'
McAllison had his skull crushed, and
numerous others were cut aud bruised.
The miners fought as best they
could with their tin dinner pals, and
we're finally allowed to go TO work.
After the attack the strikers and wo-
men formed in line and marched
through the streets of Edwardsville
shouting and singing. No arrests
were made.
The strikers, more than 300, with
the;. women, far outnumbe red the
workers. who were guarded by a force
of deputy sheriffs on the way to the
T. ". McCune, adeputy sheriff
in the escorting posse, was dlsarmed
and dragged to one side where a crowd
of irate strikers beat him until he
was almost unconscious. Though
heavily armed, the sheriff's officers
took their drubbing without making
any attempt to use their arms. They
we're outnumbered ten to one but they
with their fists.
Had a shot been fired the conse-
.luences would have been fearful, as
jhe strikers were frenzied.

FEET AND EARS FROZEN.
Experience of a Man Who Stole Box
Car Ride.

Kansas City, Jan. 25.-When a Mis-
souri, Pacific freight train pulled into
the yards today the train crew was at
tracted by the knocks and groans of
some one inside a box car. The door
was opened and a man, giving his name
as Henry Smith, was discovered in a
most deplOrabIe. condition.
He was numb from cold, and a hasty
examination revealed the fact that both
of his feet and his ears were frozen. The
police ambulance was called and the
man was taken to Bethany hospital
There he was examined by the hospital
surgeon, who announced that his feet
would have to be amputated.
He said that he was from st. Louis
and started to Kansas City to accept a
position with the Armour Packing COM
Dany. He was to have begun work
Monday He said that his ride from St.
Louis to Kansas City was the most ter
rible experience of his life. The cold
was almost uncomfortable. He would
have got out of the car, but the door
was fastened on the outside. Nothing
remained to him but to content himself
in the icy Enclosure until some one by
accident came to his rescue. Several
times he knocked on the door, but no
one responded. Then, to keep from freez-
ing to death, he ran up and down the
car, but soon he was so numb from cold
that he could go no longer, and so lay
down on the floor of the car in despair

A FLOOD FOR KANSAS.
'sSage of the Whitewater" Predicts
De1uge This Year.

Wichita. Jan. 25.-The people of this
city are considerably disturbed by the
prediction of J. c. H. Swan, known
throughout the west as the sage of the
Whitewater" that the flood of 1877,
which resulted so disastrously to Wich-
ita, will be repeated in 1897.
Swan predicted the flood of 1877
year previous to its coming and warned
the people to prepare for it, but the peo-
pie were skeptica1 The Arkansas river
rose very suddenly and the water over
flowed the town, causing much loss and
suffering. Skiffs and scows were i'm
provised and levees were hastily con-
Structed, but too late to shut out the
rising floods. Men f1shed for catfish in
the barroom of the old Occidental hotel
The water receded in a few days. A
repetition of the flood of 1877 now would
be very serious matter, as the city is
spread over a wide area and the loss
would be many thousands of dollars.
