CARrERvILLE. ILL.,. June 3O.-At 10 o'clock
this morning. as the train on the branch OF the
Illinois Central running from Cape Girardeau
to Johnstown City, carrying a coachoad OF me-
Rroes from Pana to Brush's mines, one mile
north OF Carterville. stopped at the Fredonia
mine. three miles northwest OF Carterville.
large number oiunion strikers opened fire on
the negroes. killing one man and woman and
wounding twenty persons. The negroes were
hurried on the cars as soon as possible and the
train was run on to Johnstown City.
When IL reached point ono mile north Of
Brush's mine the negroes were unloaded and
marched across tho country to their destina-
ton. IL Is said that majority OF the men who
did the shooting wero negroes whom Brush
brought here from the South about n year
ago. and who have since joined the union.
Most Of Brushs mines have been on a strike
for month. though many of his imported
negroes have remained loyal to him. The
trouble is IA question OF wages. Had notrouble
been expected when these Rroes arrived they
would have been transported from Carbonate
to Cartersville over the usual and most direct
routes. But Superintendent Brush thought to
avoid this by bringing the negroes over an
other limo and thus avoid the danger OF march
through the streets OF Cartersvlle
These colored miners from Pana brought
their families with them. There is great ex-
element in the neighborhood of the Brush
mine. and battle between the working me-
Rroes. who are well armed and the strikers
who are on the ground ready for fight, may
be preciptated at any moment.
Superintendent Brush teleCraphed to Marion
to Sheriff Gray Immediately after the riot for
protection. and the Sheriff has gone to the
scene. but he took no deputies with him. IIo
has no guns to arm them.
The negroes at Fredonia are part OF those
who left Pana yesterday when there was a gem
eral exodus OF i'm ported miners. They brought
their families with them. Some went TO Bever.
No. some to Kansas. and to others the State
gave transportation to their homes in the
South.
