DESPERATE DYNAMITED
THE DEVILS BACKBONE BROKEN BY
A SHERIFFS POSSE.
FruitIess Attempt to Capture "Cap"
Hatfield and His Gang by De-
strOyinG Their Stronghold.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Aug. 14-One-
half of the Devils Backbone, the rocky
fortress of the Hatfields in the mountains
on Tug river, was shattered by dynamite
to-day and Hatfield and his men were driv-
en- from their stronghold by Sheriff Keadle
and his posse after a desperate fight. Sew
eral of the sherihs men are badly wound
ed, but the Hatfields are still free. Only
this has been accomplished-that the rocky
crest where the Hatfelds have for years
detied the law and from which they have
carried out their bloody plans is no longer
tenable fortress.
1t was decided by the sheriffs forces to
dynamite the desperate and his gang All
day Friday and Friday night the closest
watch was kept. AT o'clock this morning
the dynamite arrived and by IL the ex-
plosive was placed. The fuse was laid, the
match was applied and the attacking force
began to fall back. Until now the besieged
seemed not to suspect what was being done
but with the flashing of the train which led
to the dynamite realization of their peril
came. Men jumped from cover and rushed
hither and thither in full view Hatfield
was seen to start for the path needless of a
shower of bullets. A rush was made down
the side of the mountain. Three men
dropped wounded 1t was useless to try to
escape by the well-known path and the
desperadoes returned to the top of their
rocky fort, Hatfield directing them. Great
powders were hurled over the rocks in
hopes of breaking the fuse. Then came the
explosion. Pieces of rock and trees flew in
every direction. When the smoke cleared
Hatfield and his men seemed unharmed.
Dan Lewis, Steve Stanley and Jake Mon
roe, who presumed in the excitement to
leave shelter, were shot and are not eX-
pected to recover. Another charge of dyna-
mite was trained, but under the cover of the
explosion Hatfield and the rest of his men
escaped. The chase was renewed, and,
hampered as he is by his wounds, Hatfield 5

Many of the Coal DiGGers VIII Re.
Work Monday.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Aug 1.-THE
campaign for effecting a general strike in
the Kanawha field closed with to-day, and
Dilcher, Weber and other strike leaders
left tonight for the New river field. 1t
looks now like the strike would soon be
at an end in the Kanawha valley. This is
the fifth day since Dilcher told the coal
diggers that if they would quit work the
strike would not last but five days Those
who came out did so on that promise. Less
than one-fourth of all the miners in the
Kanawha valley east of Charleston were
at work to-day. CO sequently there was
practically suspension of work but the
men now seem to be ready to resume The
coal diggerS at Winifrede held d meeting
to-day and decided by a large majority, 141
to 90, to return to work Monday. There
were about two hundred present a the
meeting. There seems to be an understand
ing among the miners on the river front
between Montgomery and Mt. Carbon to
return TO work Monday. The information
from the New river field is that the coal
diggers in that region are strongly opposed
to striking and it is believed that Dlcher
and his associates will have but little sue
cess in that region.

DETROIT Mich, Aug. 1-Promoters of

Tanner received many dispatches during
the day about the Woodmen trouble call
for troops was made by Hon. T. j. MedllI.

in charterng the train and loading it with
500 Rock Island citizens and proceeding to
Fulton with so much gustO and show Such
a course was calculated to create riot If
the courts decree that the records and
books of the Modern WoOdmen belong in

to procure that power they must proceed in

had no notice of the ordinance was untrue;
that on the contrary the company did have
notice of the pending of the ordinance; that
one of the very men whose name appeared
on the pay roll of the company was present
at a meeting and had the meeting ad-
jCurned to another date.
II would like to see some one make an
affidavit of that kind" exclaimed Mr..
Winter.
We'll, you will see it, for I shall file it,"
"Well, / will take issue on the statement
of facts if that kind of an affidavit is
filed"
Mr.. Winter and Mr.. Curtis began to get
personal when Judge Baker intimated that
the argument should proceed. Mr. Curtis
attacked the petition vigorously all of the
afternoon. Mr.. Curtis denounced the items
in the bill as indefinite and not to be under
stood. The point he made was that the
cost of operating the plant as set forth in
the bill, was net correct; that the real profit
of The company was nearly 1000 instead of
$1,000, as asserted. He called attention to
the fact that the company had no use as a
gas company for the fine building at In
dianapolis which cost $275,00 There was
nothing in the bill that showed that $3.50
900 of bonds were invested in the business
of supplying artificial gas. The city attor-
ney insisted that the ordinance was rea-
sonable one and that even under the ordi-
nance the company had large profit, and
was not entitled even to temporary re-
Straining order.

the Central Iron and Steel Company was
announced to be present and present an
ber of other employees and citizens to the
meeting. The large room in the Court
house was packed. John l.. Sullivan pre-
sented the proposition of the Central Iron
and Steel Company and received the closest
attention. The proposition was that II
the miners would allow the jackson Coal
coal at 50 cents a ton to supply the Cen
trail Iron and Steel Company's mills the
employees of the company would donate
$40 to S25 a day to support the miners dur
ing the strike. The proposition was
promptly voted down, amid profound cheer
ing and clapping of hands. The miners de-
clared it to be their purpose to adhere 10
their first stand not to allow any coal 10
be mined. Spirited speeches were made oe-
nouncing some miners who are at work in
some of the pits of the county. 1t was
decided that the committee of watchers
should at once take steps to force these
men from the mines. The committee mas
frequently tried persuasion, but to no avail.

advance in wages. Some of the drivers are
Americans and others are Hungarians and
Italians They have been getting from S.
to $1.35 per day according to the grade Of
teams They claim they have to work one
hour per day without pay and for this
they want remuneration. This morning two
drivers left the strikers ranks and were
going to the strippings when about thirty
strikers met them and tried 20 persuade
them to come back. superintendent Jones
put in an appearance about this time a
fight followed which developed into small
sized riot in which Jones was knocked
down and kicked Levi Watts, carpenter
who came to his aid was struck on the
head with a rock and was severely injured
The arrival of number of English-speak-
ing miners probably saved the superintend-
ent from a serious fiogging, as he is unpop-
ular with the men. The coal and iron po-
lice were called from this city, but before
their arrival the crowd dispersed quietly
and no further trouble has developed.
