Conflict Between Union and Non-Union
Miners Near Pittsburg.
PITTsBURG, Aug. pa conflict be-
tween workers and strikers took place
during the afternoon in which three
strikers were badly hurt. Five of the
men who are working for the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal company
went to William Seamon's boarding
house about two miles from Oakhill
tipple where a number of strikers are
CHARTERED for the purpose of persuading
the strikers to go to work. The meet
ing was stormy one and resulted in
Antonio Podasky being shot near the
heart, the bullet going almost through
his body. Grongron Rimold was shot
in the eye and Batiste Define was cut
with razor. The injured men are all
strikers. The aggressive workmen es-
capped before the men on the Oakhill
camp were aware of the fight.
Sympathy for the strikers by the
farmers and citizens is not diminishing
in the least. During the day there were
about 700 visitors to the camp at Sandy
Creek. many of the farmers who came
bringing wagon loads OF provisions.
Citizens of New Texas sent word that
they had plenty of food for the men and
wanted them to call on them when
needed.

Drunken Negro at Lovett, Ca, Too Free
in Using His Pistol.
TENNvILLE, Ga, Aug. 23.-At Lovett
a negro, enraged from "blind tiger"
whisky, killed one of the towns lead
ing merchants and a popular citizen,
dangerously wounded a negro woman
and was himself shot to death by a
posse of citizens.
The negro, Andrew Green, was jeal-
GUS of his wife and attempted to kill
her. He fired wide of the mark, how
ever, seriously wounding an unoffend-
ing woman nearby. Mr.. George Heath,
a prominent white citizen, attempted
to interfere. Green turned his pistol
on Mr.. Heath, the ball entering Heath
forehead, killing him almost instantly.
The negro fled in the direction of Car
butts mills. In a short time posse of
80 men, we'll mounted and armed, went
in hot pursuit of the murderer. Green
was captured in short order and brought
up to the mills. He was tried and shot
in 10 minutes. The citizens then re-
turned quietly home.

HEDGE AND WIRE FENCE.
Recommended by a Committee Who
Have Investigated This Fence.

MANKATO, Mimi, Aug. Is, 1897.
The undersigned committee invited
by Jas. T. Morris, treasurer and man
ager of the Minnesota Hedge and
Wire Fence Co., of Minneapolis, MIMI.
to visit Slayton and investigate one
of their fences completed this spring,
found it compact and beautiful and
fully up to representation.
We believe it will add materially to
the value of land enclosed by it. These
fences of honey locust we were in
formed by @. E. Dinehart, cashier
State bank of Slayton, were planted
six 'years ago, received no attention
whatever, were not cultivated, and
with the exception of few places
where they failed to secure stand
the fences will turn the smallest to
the largest stock.
We heartily recommend and believe
it to be the coming fence.
