Pittsburg. Pa, August 16.-Two dep
uties. Robert Kerr and Frank Ander-
son, employed as guardians of the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company,
fought this afternoon, and as a result
Kerr cannot live until morning.
Anderson is proprietor Of dive on

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 a bridge crossing Plum creek,
and after a few words Anderson was
seen to hit Kerr, who retaliated and
a rough and tumble fight lasting about
five minues. followed. Anderson sue
ceeded in drawing his revolver and,
placing it to Kerrs abdomen, fired, the
ball tearing through the victims in
testines and lodging in his back. The
physicians say he will die in a few
hours.
A constable tried to arrest Ander-
son. but he was prevented by deputies,
who said they would hold him until
the arrival of the sheriff, which may

advantage of the Inactivity of the
Strikers.
Pittsburg. Pa, August 16.-Taking ad-
vantage of the suspension of marching
a number of the men went to work dur
ing the morning at Oakhill mine. They
were gotten in by strategy and the strik-
ers were outwitted. Agents OF the
company have been at work among the
strikers for a week, and, although they
have induced some to return, the re-
suit has been disappointing. 1t was
thought enouhg men could be procured

worked hard. but found about one-half

mand of SO cents, while the remainder

They knew nothing, however, Of the

been guarded by two deputies. The
force was increased last night to 10

After Desperate Fight With Posse-Eis
Brother Fatally Wounded.

Hicksville.. o., August 16.-Dep Ack-
ley, who almost murdered his twin
brother in duel yesterday and after
wards made his escape to the. woods,
was captured between five and six
o'clock this morning, after chase
which lasted all night and to-day. He
was captured ia a cornfield south OF
small town named Knoxdale, by a
posse. He fought desperately with a
knife and club, and before finally over
come he succeeded in cutting man
named Backus over the heart. Back
us cannot recover.
Ackley was not captured until his
clothes were torn into shreds and he
had been dubbed into insensibility.
Gill Ackley, the brother and victim
Of the man captured, is still uncon-
scious. After an examination it was
found thaat the carotod artery in the
neck had been cut, making fatal

Pittsburg. August 16.-To-day was
fraught with exciting incidents in mat
ters pertaining to the miners strike.
Mutiny in the strikers camp, muir
der in the deputies ranks, filing OF
criminal and civil suits against the
DeArmitts and the hearing in the in
junction case against President Dolan
and others kept both sides to the strug-
gle busy on the qui vive all day long.
The hearing in the injunction case
before Judges Stowe and Collier was
perhaps one of the most important
and interesting ever held in Pennsyl-
vania court. 1t was a hearing in
which both capital and the rights of
labor were interested and, the decision
is expected to have a telling effect on
the conduct of the great coal miners
strike which has been on since July 5.
From the testimony adduced and
from the expressions of the court,
it can safely be said that there will
be some surprises. That the injunc-
tion will be materially modified there
can be no doubt, which on its face
would indicate a victory for the
strikers.
The preliminary decree has been
continued pending a consultation ca
the judges and an opinion will proba-
bly, be handed down by noon tomor-
row.
Judge Collier said in court to-day
that the strike would go down in his
tory as one of the wonders Of the
century and remarkable on account Of
the utter lack of disorder, for which
the strikers are commended and have
the sympathy Of the court. Said he:
"There can be no question as to what
our duty is under all the testimony,
but l am somewhat in doubt as to
whether or not the order should be
modified. We cannot determine this
without a consultation.
Judge Stowe said this evening:
"This injunction will not justify the
issuing of an attachment against any
marchers who are not found in COM
pany with the men named in the in
junction"
He let it be understood that the in
junction is not so sweeping as has
been thought: and that only the five
men named in the writ-Patrick Do
Ian. William Warner. Cameron Miller.
TJriah Bellingham and Edward Mckay
are restrained from marching or
trespassing on the companys proper
ty: the Others" mentioned can be only
those found in company of the five
named in the injunction. As near as
can be learned, the strikers under the
Injunction can march, but not at stated
times. as long as they are not in com
pany with any of these defendants.

FELTS MISSING.
The Flying Machine Inventor Ap-
parently Scared Out.

Manitou, Col, August 16.-Willlam
B. Felts has mysteriously disappeared
His flying machine with which he was
to have attempted the fight from Pike S
Peak to Colorado Springs, is still hous-
ed on the top of the Peak. There have
been rumors that Felts's nerve was be-
coming shaky, which were offset by
statements from the professor that he
was waiting for a clear day.
Felts went down the mountain side
Friday after stating that he was goicS
for a walk, since which time nothing
has been seen or heard Of him. His
friends say he has probably lost his
way in the wilderness west of the Peak
and may have fallen down a precipice
and been killed or injured.
They have been searching for him
since Friday. The majority, however,
are skeptical enough to believe that the
professor had not sufficient faith in his
own invention.
While they acknowledge the condi-
tions have been unfavorable they think
the incident which has created so much
excitement for the past two [seks is

The men had no organization but
branch of the United Mine Workers
Association was started this morning, and
six hundred men at once signified their
Willingness TO join. Chief Organizer
Fahey. of Pottsville was sent for this
morning. and is expected to be on hand
this evening. The men held meeting
last neght in Mahlchks hall and there
decided to make the strike general this
morning. The entire force OF coal and
iron police carrying Winchester rifles
were on hand to guard the colleries, The
strikers assembled on the hill above the
works at Audenreid and a crowd OF 3OO
men marched past the deputies to the
breaker At a given signal the men at
work left their places. Those who were
hesitating were guarded by strikers and
taken past the deputies, who did not at
tempt to molest tie men. Interference
by the deputies would, it is believed have
precipitated riot, as the men were de-
termined and armed. The colleries now
idle are Audenreid Nos 4 to 10; Honey
brook Nos and 10; Hunky Dory; Green
Mountain and Tresckow The latter col
liery is two miles east of Green noun
tain. The strikers marched to this point
after stopping at the Audenreid colleries
and escorted the workers back with them.
body of four hundred men then
marched to the Mahlachik hall, where
meeting was held, and the strikers dis
porsed.
The feeling is now so bitetr against
Supt. Jones that he himself fears bodily
harm. and moves about with an armed
escort. His house is guarded day and
night. Supt. Jones this morning offered
to meet the demands of the drivers, but
the men are now determined to have all
their grievances heard and will appeal
to the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre officers
in New York Besides the wage ques-
ton. they are demanding the discharge
of Supt. Jones or his transfer. This
morning some of the workmen were given
five days to leave the company's houses.
The situation is now critical and an out
break is likely TO occur.

San Francisco, Cal, August 16.-Mr.
Thomas Magee, well known as a con-
servative business man and careful OBJ
server, who accompanied his son to
Dyea, writes to the Associated Press
from that point to the effect that the
ignorance displayed by the crowds who
are fiocking to the Klondike fields is
lamentable. OF. the 400 passengers
who sailed with him on the steamer
George Elder, half of whom were from
San Francisco, not one in twenty had
any definite information as TO how TO
reach his destination. While the routes
were well known, the details and con-
ditions to be met with are not consid-
cred. most of the searchers for wealth
hoping to settle all doubts and uncer-
tainties when they reach juneau. In
stead, however, further confusion was
created by the appalling statements
that there were only two routes, each
of which necessitated the encounter OF
almost insurmountable difficulties.
