sEooTING AT PANA.
Two Nonanion Miners Empty Their
Revol>ers Into STRIKERS Ranks,
Wounding Three.

Pana, Ill. Aug. 49, The coal miners
lockout here reached its most serious
climax Monday morning when seri-
Gus shooting atfray occurred on the
highway near the city limits leading to
Spring Side coal mine. This is the only
one of the four large coal mines in
Pana that is attempting to do any min
ing, and but seven non-union min
ers are working here and they are un-
der trying conditions, being heavily
armed in going to and from the shaft,
in addition being under guard of opera
tors and deputy sheriffs with Win
chesters. Monday morning several hun
dred union miners were congregated
on the principal highway leading to
the mine when Ed Jones and James
Palmer, non-union men, rode up on
horseback into the miners lines and
withoutany provocation, tits said, other
than the miners asking to talk with
them, began firing into the crowd, at
the same time retreating as fast as
their horses would carry them. Three
men were wounded, Jones and Palm
er haveibeen arrested and there is
great excitement in the town.
