FAIR WARNING.

Nartinsburg Indepcndent.
The Wheeling Intelligencer, in a special
from Washington. states that Congress
man Dayton will recommend only those
for appointment who have the endorse
ment of the County Executive Committee.
This is a huge mistake. In one instance
you run against civil service as boss. and
now on Bonded knee you must fawn TO a
committee for preferment TO Congression-
al influence. Better stop this business be-
fore it is too late. There is life blood and
vitality outside of Congressman and COM
mittees and there is sufficient strength in
the people to win. Success should be so
appreciated as not to be turned into future
defeat.

COLD BLooDED ASSASSINATION.
California Man Deliberately Shot
Down In the Road.

San jose. Cal, Aug. IA Herald spe-
cial from Morgan Hill says: George w.
Schofield was assassinated this morning
about O'Clock while on the road from
his ranch to Morgan Hill. His body is
now lying in the road, where il was
found, awaiting the arrival of the sheriff
and coroner
Schofield was one of the best known
men in the southwestern part of this
county, having a little ranch five miles
west of Madrone. He was a stagedriver
IN the early days. He was about 50 years
old While no particulars of the crime
are given, It is known that Schodeld had
disputes with his neighbors and trouble
with his wife Some time ago he was in
Jail for a few days, having been arrested
on complain of his wife for disturbing the
peace. Not long since he went into in
solvency.
The messenger who came to notify the
officers says that SchOfield was shot at
through the window of his house early
last night. AT that time a mans voice
was heard to say: I've missed you. but
will get you in the morning" TINS morn
ing Schoield left his home early to go 10
Morgan Hill. Between and o'clock
his body was found in the road about
three miles west of that place. The sher-
if has gone TO the scene and a large
posse of deputies is scattered throughout
the valley and in the foothills on both
sides of all the roads going south. Ii is
believed that someone in the neighbOrhood
committed the murder.

nifty is with the striking coal miners
The use of a large building on Third
street has been given free for conf
nissary, and the townspeople and lar
merS have contributed provisions HDer-
ally Several hundred dollars have also
been contributed This warm feeling
for the strikers took sudden turn
last night when the report was cir
culated that the strikers had visited
the Troup and Ricard pits in Coal Hol-
low, and ordered the few men working
there to stop work.
These two pits have been supplying
coal for the borough electric light plant
and for family use, and have only been
in operation a few weeks
The report reached the leaders OF the
strikers here and they at once branded
it as the work of the enemy to ln1ure
their cause. This morning they nou-
fed the two pits that they might mine
all the coal they could. The output OF
the De Arnitt mines was still further
reduced today, no coal being taken
from Oak Hill mine. The three men
atsSanGy Creek mine have mined one
gondola car in three days. At Plum
Creek the 200 men at work mined IL
gondola cars of coal
Counsel for the New York & Cleve-
land Gas Coal company has prepared
a bill to be presented to Judge NJ. w.
Acheson of the United States circuit
court on behalf of the nonresident Gus
toners, asking for an injunction to re-
strain the striking miners from congre-
eating at the mines at Turtle Creek,
Sandy Creek and Plum Creek, and from
interfering with the workmen of the
company. This new move is being
made for the purpose of getting the
aid of the United States marshal, as
well as the sheriff of Allegheny county
to break UP the camps the strikers have
established. There was a special in
junction issued during the last strike
Of the miners by the county court
against men prominent in the present
struggle restraining them from con-
gregating near the mines of the New
York & Cleveland company, and it is
claimed that it is still in force. 1t is
now intended to supplement an order
which, if disobeyed, will result in the
sending of United States marshals into
the region now occupied by the strik-
ers, and if necessary troops could also
be called in. The application for the
preliminary injunction is likely to be
made on Monday.

that the agreement will have no bear
