One Conflict Between Workers and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In the Sit

Interest.

Religious services were held in the
strikers several camps on Sunday and
all were largely attended, but not
wIthstanding the religious air pervad-
ing the campo, conflict between
workers and strikers took place in the
afternoon, during which three strik
ers were badly hurt, but none are in a
serious condition. Five of the men
who are working for the New York g.
Cleveland Coal Gas Co. went to VIM.
Seamon's boarding house, about one
half mile from Oakland Triple, where
n number of strikers are quartered,
for the purpose of persuading the
strikers to go to work. The meeting
was stormy one and resulted in An

heart, the bullet going almost through
his body. Grongron Pimold was shot

PIERCED WITH BULL ErS.
The Farmers Bank at Shepherd, Mich,
Completely Looted.

Completely Looted.
Elmer Z. Struble, cashier of tho
Farmers bank, at Shepherd, Mich,
was found in the bank with
three bullet wounds in his body,
one near his heart. He was uncon-
scious when found by T.. A. Wisdom,
proprietor of hardware store in the
same building ih which the bank
was located, and was lying on
the flour in the Office. He was carried
to his home, and rallied enough TO
make a sworn statement as to who fired
the shots, and died about an hour later.
Robbers completely looted the bank,
leaving but $40, which was found
under the counter. The Peoples Saw
ings bank at Mt. Pleasant failed and
j. f. Ryan, proprie tor of the Farmers
bank. telephoned the cashier, asking
him if he anticipated any danger of
run on the bank as a result of the fail
ure at Mt. Pleasant, and requested the
cashier of the Farmers bank to bring
him the deposit ledger at an early
hour in the morning. Mr.. Struble
said he thought no trouble would fol-
low, and volunteered to bring the
books wanted before banking hours in
the morning. At 4 o'clock in the
morning he went to the bank to get
the books. The parties who fred the
fatal shots were either In the building
at the time when he entered or fol-
lowed. Four shots were fired, three
of which took effect, one passing
through the body and piercing the
left lung, one in the shoulder and one
in the wrist. The finding of the bull
lets was proof conclusive that the shots
were fred at the cashier while he was
in the vault. 1t cannot be learned
how much was stolen, as the individual
deposit, the certificate of deposit, the
general and draft ledgers, were stolen.
Not cent was left in the bank, and no
other books were disturbed. j. +.
Ryan says that all losses will be made
good to a cent. Discrepancies have
been discovered in Struble's statement,
as two of the parties he named are
many miles away. The officers are
doing all in their power to ferret out
the perpetrators, and detectives are
now at work on the case. Legal adj
vice is carefully taken that a wrong
move may be avoided.
