Southern West Virginia Going Over to the
Strikers.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, July 16.-There
is decided change in the coal fields OF
southern West Virginia, and it is now
stated for an absolute certainty that
inside of 80 hours majority of all the
miners on the n. 81 w. and Chesapeake
& Ohio railroads will join the strike.
The organizers are now in both
fields and in the latter the Chesapeake,
Belmont and Black Cat mines are now
idle, the miners, 900 in number, going
put at noon yesterday. The n. s.. w.
miners are still at work, but the strike
representatives are confident that
matters will come their way in short
time.
On the Kanawha yesterday all oper-
ators raised the price of mining one
fourth of a cent bushel on soft and
one-half cent on hard coal, but it is
believed this will not hold the men in
line.

There is great excitement in camp

saw the bear about tour miles froIu

Sheriff Kinney waen he says that he
saw a bear four days ago.. Every
one WAS greatly excited when the
news reached camp. 1t was to- late
to start after him hat night, but Kin
ney lost no time in getting a posse Of
campers to start at day-break. IT WAS
decided that the four Clio BOYS, Mack
Bright, kitzmever, Fryer. Tvrrell,
David, Sprague, Wylie, Furlong and
Day wonld constitute the r'sse and be
led by Kinney. Close tehind is to
follow a wagon with Bill KAISER ard
John Rosser. Kinney has given us
understand that Re is o have first

If he misses then he is left for us. We
are sure 10 yet Ulm De10t6 night as
Kinney says that he kLows. where he
sleeps. Tyrrell tried to get out of
going but Kinney wouldn't have it
that way.
lyrrell thinks the whole thing is a
hoax, but I think by tomorrow we
can write you that the game has been
