Manager Lukins remained at his
desk in his office all last night
issuing orders to his men for the
preservation of the property. The
moment the militia train appeared the
guards pointed their guns through the
iopholes ready to fire on the train. Man
ager Lukins was notified of the ap-
proach of the train and ru1ning to his
Office door he shouted: Men. for Gods
sake don't fire on that train; it's the
militia train
Manager Lukins said last night: THE
blood of every man she'd here is on the
governors head. He is Absolutely out
side of the law. and has no justification
whatever in refusing to send troops. If
this train had come in before the inter-
view with the l..vernoT was printed
there would have been no bloodshed, as
the men knew they were disobeying the
law and had exhibited an entirely diff
ferent spirit than what they did after
the interview was published. Most of
them were ignorant enough to believe
that they had a right to do as the gov
ernor said they had. -
His statement that the mineSs had
the same right to fight for his property,
which was his labor. as the mine owner
did to protect his property inspired
these men to the action which they took
today on firing upon this train as soon
as IL came into our town. At least fifty
shots were fred into that train by the
time it reached the shaft, and no shots
were fired\from the train until at least
$50 shots were fired nito it. think. kill
ing and wounding a good many of the
people on the train. No shots were fired
from the stockade until after several OF
the men came back without having
fired their guks at all. Most of the
shooting was done by the guards on the
train. who were authorized by the rail-
road company"
Lukins stated that his men had in
structions to withhold their fire until

ARRIVAL OF THE MILITIA TRAIN.
Unknown Man Shoots and Kills One OF the
Guards Mt the Entrance.


The militia train bearing battery 3
from GaIesburg. under Captain Craig,
arrived at the stockade about 1850 p.
m. At Auburn. eight miles north Of
Virden the train was stopped and a
detail OF men was sent ahead on foot to
inspect the track. The detail walked
from Auburn to Virden. AS soon as
the stockade was reached the track in
spection detail ordered the guards at
the stockade entrance to throw up their
hands. There were half a dozen guards
congregated at the entrance, among
them being ex-Lieutenant Thomas
Preston. of Chicago. The others sprang
through the entrance into the enclosure,
but Preston hesitated and then stepped
backward slowly toward the entrance,
his revolver in his hand. Throw up
your hands" came the order the second
time. Preston's hands remained down.
Fire, and one rifle cracked. Preston
dropped to the ground inside the gate
with a bullet through his abdomen.
Immediately the gate was slammed
shut and Preston was carried to Man
ager Lukins' office. He was laid on a
counter and expired a few moments
later without having uttered a groan-
Preston's death spread consternaffon
throughout the stockade. One miner
threw down his Winchester and said:
I'm disgusted with the whole thing
I've done my duty. The militia is here
and I'm ready to quit" Those stand
ing near were silent. but the lines about
their mouths grew frmer and a more
determined look came into their faces.
Manager Lukius said: I'm very sorry
that this happened. Preston was a good
man. The militia has made no effort to
enter the stockade."
Gen ]. y. Reece came from Spring
field with the militia. He said that ex-
Lieutenant Preston was not killed by
the militia He said that when the
guard at the stockade had lodged into
the entrance at the militia order of
Hands up" revolver shot was fired
from the darkness. and Preston fell

the militia did not fire a shot. and
Preston was killed with a revolver by

wondering what the soldiers expected
to do. The train was quickly unloaded
and the men divided into squads One

Soldiers Now in Possession of the Town
FIFTH at Tanners Disposal.


Nirden, ILL.,, Oct. 13.-Evervthing
is perfectly quiet here this mo- ing.
The town is in the hands of the sol
diers and no further trouble is antici-
pated. A careful investigation this
morning results in no change in the
lists of killed and wounded, which re-
main at 10 and 20, respectively.
The coroner's list contains but
nine names of dead. and says as far as
he knows this is the total fatalities, but
the citizens claim three more killed
here, and that three died at SPRING
field, making a total of 10.
Coroner Hart impanelled jury this
afternoon, and began the inquest.
Half a dozen miners were examined
and all testified that the first shots
were fired from the train. They claim
their men did not return the fire till
the train reached the stockade; that
their men shot into the air till the
train came to a stop.
Capt. Ferrier, commanding Com
pany B, of Sons of Veterans, entered
the coal company's stockade, dis
armed the detectives and loca. dopu-
ties and took possession. President
Cahill. of the Virden Miners union,
declares the deputies of the train be-
gan the firing.

Last Telegram to Gov. Tanner.

Virden, Ills, Oct. 13.-Sheriff Daven-
port wired the following message to
Governor Tanner yesterday morning
just prior to the riot:
''One thousand armed men. mostly
from points outside of Macoupin, are
unlawfully assembling in this city, and
bloodshed and loss of life of our citizens
is liable to occur at any hour. do not
consider that my own life is safe, as the
situation is absolutely beyond my con-
troll. This is my last appeal to you for
aid. If you cannot place troops here i'm
mediately I must be absolved from all
responsibility for results"
In reply to this message the goveronr
wired: AS long as the coal company
persists in importing labor 1 will not
furnish troops. unless rioting ocurs.'

Chicago-Virden Coal company is known
as the Climax Trading company. with
Superintendent J. F. Eyster in charge.
At 2 o'clock. after the firing at the
5tockade had subsided, an attack with
out a parallel in the history of the
trouble was made on Eyster in this
store on Main street. one block from
the station, which will probably cost
him his life. He was sitting in his store
when his telephone rang and he was
instructed from the stockade to secure
physicians and hurry them to the place.
Eyster jumped into his delivery wagon
and securing two doctors rushed them
to the mines He returned to his store
climbed out of his wagon, and was just
entering the door when the cry was
raised that Manager Fred Lukins, of
the mine, was with him. With rush a
throng of infuriated miners pressed to-
ward the store.
Eyster ran behind a counter with a
revolver in each hand. The miners
pressed hard after. and as Eyster
sprang upstairs he and the miners be-
gan shooting simultaneously. He ran
TO the top of his building and jumped
behind chimney. while the miners ran
into the street and opened fire on him
again Chips flew from the brick chim-
ney, the miners shouting: Where have
you been?" What have you been doing
at the stockade?" Eyster ran from his
cover across to the roof of the Spragus
o1sg store, firing into the street below
as he ran. From there he crossed to
the roof OF the bank of Virden. where
he reloaded his revolvers.
Blood was flowing from a wound in
his side. but with logged determination
a. odds he nnnfinI1ad his
fight. Jumping to the roof of the Rae
& Gish drug store he halted behind a
projection from the roof of the building
he had just left, and emptied both his
six chambered revOlvers. Then spring
ing again from cover Eyster dashed
ahead amid the rain of bullets to the
roof of the Steed building. the upper
story of which is known as Miners
hall. He either fell or jumped through
the skylight. and landed in the arms of
a crowd of miners. who seized him and
carried him down stairs to the street
Other hands seized the almost uncon-
scious man and he was dragged into
the middle of the street. The local po-
lieemen drove back the crowd and car
ried Eyster TO the city square across
the street ard laid him in the grass.
EySter was mOtionless and supposedly
dead.
The police left him lying and at
tempted to disperse the crowd. In a few
minutes Eyster was seen to raise his
hand and wipe the blood from his face.
Two men sprang to him and with ferocity
Of tigers began jumping on his body
and striking him on the head with
stones. With yell the angry crowd
charged into the square to kill Eyster.
The police charged in body and fought
their waY TO the center of the mob.
where they took a stand over the pros
rate, battered bleeding man, a car
-iage was procured and Eyster was
aiken to the Buckles hotel. He had
,een shot through the groin and is ter
IDLY battered UP about the head. The
physician states that he has barely a
