Blythe. These operators, he said, had
told him that De Armitt was running
the trade, and the only thing that
would save them from the sheriff and
the miners from starvation was a
strike. No one had told him to get
De Armitt's men out, but it was hoped
to make the strike general.
The hearing in the De Arn1itt injunc-
ton case against the striking miners
closed at $50 o'clock this afternoon.
The court announced that the final
decision would be rendered tomorrow
and pending this the preliminary in
junction would be continued.
Two deputies, Robert Kerr and
Frank Anderson, employed as guardi-
ans of the New York & Cleveland Gas
Coal company. fought this afternoon
and as a result Kerr cannot live until
morning. Anderson is proprietor of q
dive on Water street, this city, and is
known as a bad man. He was in
charge of the deputies at Sandy Creek.
Kerr, who lives at McKee's Rocks, is
a river pilot by occupation. He has
served before as deputy during
strikes. 1t is not known what the men
fought about, but they met on the bridge
crossing Plum creek, and after a few
words Anderson was seen TO hit Kerr,
who retaliated, and a rough and tum-
bic light lasting about five minutes fol-
lowed. Anderson succeeded in draw
ing his revolver and placing it close to
Kerr's abdomen, fired, the ball tearing
through the victims intestines and
lodging in his back. The physician
says he will die in few hours. A con-
stable tried to arrest Anderson, but he
was prevented by deputies who said
they would hold him until the arrival
OF the sheriff. which may not be before
morning.
In addition to the civil suits entered
against President w. P. De Armitt
by his former employees for wages.
three criminal suits have been brought
against Samuel De -Armitt, a brother
Of the president. Mrs. Croter, who
was evicted on Saturday by Samuel De-
Armitt. has brought a criminal suit
charging assault and battery. She says
in her charge that her husband was
not at home and De Armitt took her
by the shoulders and threw her out OF
the house. She says he held a hatchet
above her head and threatened to kill
her. Her two children Zone q sick
boy) were also thrown from the house.
John Croter, her husband, also sued
De Armitt for larceny. He claims that,
after evicting his wife and children and
throwing his household goods out in
the road, De Armitt took away with
him a gallon keg of wine and SIC re-
volver of Corter's and has since refused
to return theni Writs and warrants
will be served or De Armitt in the
morning. The conference Of labor
leaders announced for tonight has been
postponed until tomorrow night.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March S.-Reports
Sunday night from 100 towns in the
northwest indicate that another great
snow storm is raging, perhaps, the
greatest OF the winter. A serious
blockade is on in South Dakota. No
trains have been moving to Water
town, Huron, Millbank and other
points for the past "a hours

adjourned at Pierre on Friday,

owing to the blockade. General

North Dakota, and says he never saw
anything like the quantity of snow up
there. He said: Il think / would be
very conservative, indeed, to estimate
the snow as being three feet on a level
on the plains. 1t is probably nearer
four feet. Now that is a tremendous
quantity when one thinks of the vast
area it covers. And it is not all down
