operators day and from present ap.
pearanoes they have made a most ef.
fcctive move and have nearly, n not
quite. checkmated their opponents, the
striking coal miners Tho courts de-
cree making permanent the prellminn-
ry injunction restraining the strikers
from enCamping marching or In any
manner interfering with the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal company's
miners. has had the effect Of almost
depicting the camps about those mine.
and apparently a general dcmoraliza-
tion among the campers exists.
Ia order to follow up their adyant-
axe the operators held a LARGELY at
tended meeting at the Monongaho.a d
house and arranged for the starting ol
their mines with or without force. II
force seems 10 be unavoidable. Il a
the Intention 10 start a certain few
mines at once under the protection OF
deputies and whatever expenses mas
result will be shared pro rata by the
mine owners.
President nolan Of the miners or.
ganlratlon does not believe the presen,
movement will be a success al IN,
strikers are more In earnest than Ia
any former struggle.

A Deaf-Mute Killed by a Frisco
Freight.

A Deaf-Mute Killed by a Frisco
Freight.
A southbound freight on the Frisco
last Saturday morning brought with it
the mute remains of another shocking
accident, which occurred almost within
the city limits. 1t was the body of a
deaf mute, who by letter on his
person was identified as Will Cowden,
resident of Boone county. The letter
was addressed TO the superintendent of
the Arkansas Deaf Mute Institute and
signed by the county judge of Boone
county stating that the bearer desired
to enter the institute and that his
tuition would be paid on demand. A
coupon ticket from Rogers to Little
Rock was also found on his person.
The testimony of the train crew was
that just after passing Smeltzer on
rounding curve they saw the deceased
walking toward them on the track with
eyes fixed on the ground. The engineer
noticing that blast from his whistle
did not seem TO be noticed called for
brakes, but too late, the body being
hurled thirty feet from the track by the
force of the blow and life was found ex-
tinct when picked mp by the train crew.
The body was inferred in our cemetery
