Union Miners Are Attacked By Nom
union Men.
ARE DRIVEN FROM HOME
REVENGE FOR THE KILLING OF
A CoLoRED WOMAN.
Governor of Illinois Called Upon to
Put Down the Riots, and Orders
Out the State Troops-Prisoners
Taken From the Sherif-Serious
Trouble Feared.

st. Louis, July IA special to the
Post Dispatch from Carbonate, ILL.,,
says:
Union City, named from the fact that
it is occupied by union miners was the
scene of a battle last night about mid
night, and as a result the town is in
ruins. The non-union negroes and other
men employed by Brush at his mines
near B'redOnia, having become craZed
over the killing of the woman yester-
day, went to the camp, which consists
of mine houses, and opened fire on
them, which was at once returned. The
battle ragged until the union miners ran
from their homes and took refuge in a
clump of timber close to the Sillage.
The non-union men at once applied
the torch to the houses and all were
burned to the ground.
After the men had DESTROYED con-
siderable property previously occupied
by the union men, they moved on the
woods and until daylight the fusillade
was kept up. No lives have so far been
reported lost in the engagement at
Union City.
Union miners have been arriving at
he scene of the trouble all night, and
the outcome must be a long drawn-out
battle. Both sides seem determined to
win

ASSA'LANT LOCKED THE DOOR
D. T. WALKER, JR., BEATEN IN
HIS OFFICE.
Man Named Richardson Fastened the
Door and Sailed In-Clear Field
For Ten Minutes.

D. f. Walker, jr.. the real estate
dealer, was assaulted and badly beaten
yesterday afternoon at his office in the
Atlas block by man named Richard
son, who is said to be a miner. From
all accounts. Richardson walked into
Walkers office, and with but few words,
if any, turned and deliberately locked
the door on the inside, then pitched
into Mr.. Walker with his fists. The
trouble is said to have gone on for
about ten minutes before any inter
ference was possible, the door being
locked.
An employee in an adjoining office
went down stairs and returned with
officer Simpson, but MI. Walker re-
fused to have his assailant arrested.
He made no explanation, and would not
be seen last evening. 1t is understood
that he was badly bruised up.
1t is rumored that the fight resulted
from some trouble over money mat
tiers, but this is not verified.

The news THAT real Sall field near

weeks by ]. r, Walker, H., created no
end of comment among She fans yes
terday. Everyone conceded that the
new field would mean much for local
baseball and Would tendlt to treble the
interest in the national game in Salt
Lake.
One question: which is sbsthering the
public much is whether Sunday games
will be played, on Wake held. Hith-
erto it has bten found Impossible 10
make midweeE games pr, ii able, owing
to the distance of all TIE fields from
the business center. But With the new
field so near tat hand, lit is believed
that the bastiball-loving public Will
find it possible TO attend the games
during the wick if they are called at
> or $3.50 D. ~. However, there IS d
large class OF, people who cannot get
away from business duSirg the week
and who likes to see a good game of
ball on Sunday afternoons The sun
day games az Fort Dot gas, Caider's
park and Lagoon have drawn big
crowds in the past, aid people are
now wondering if the tallagemen. of
the new field will not BE tempted to
follow in tha wake of Their COMPETE
tors.
But II is hardly ilkele fthdt sunday

say that to ATTEND or gcsrry on such

an exactly similar ordinance is il eff

The two negroes who were taken
from the sheriff by the mob in the
streets of Carterville last night We're
brought here at noon in the custody of
two union miners and lodged in jail
Union miners from other towns are
gathering there today in large num-
bers.
Grave apprehension is felt by the
officials that the gathering means con-
tinued and serious trouble for Brush's
men and the non-union negro miners.
The sheriff has sent another message to
Acting Governor Warder this after
noon, in the course of which he said
Nothing short of 200 soldiers, well
armed. will control the situation at Car
tersville. The non-union miners at
Brush's are armed and the union men
are gathering with the announced in
tention of destroying the mine. The
strikers are several hundred strong,
determined and well armed. Order
troops there at once. The situation is
too serious and the numbers engaged
too strong for a sheriffs posse. Ship

guarding the Last Chance mill until
May 3, when he was summoned before
the coroner's jury. He was before that
body three days, and then was arrested
by the military authorities He had
not attempted to shield the rioters or
prevent the arrest of anyone accused
Of crime.
Witness denied that he told Malott.
correspondent of the Spokane Spokes-
man Review that the union men should
be given the best of il in the reports on
the situation.
Did you base your opinions that to
attempt the arrest CT members of the
mob would result in death, on what
you knew of the history and methods
Of the union?" he was asked on cross
examination, but the court sustained
the objection to the question, and the
witness was excused.
The defense then rested and it was
agreed that argument in the impeach-
ment case against the commissioners
and sheriff should be made Wednesday,
each side being allowed three hours.
The court then adjourned until We'd

miners are at the Standard mine, hav

Sheriff Young On the Witness Stand
at Wallace Yesterday.

Wallace, Ida, July To-day ]. NJ.
Porter testified that on April &c he
called up Sheriff Young on the tele-
phone, telling him of the riotous con-
duct of armed men, and asking to be
appointed a deputy sheriff. Young de-
clined, saying he would refer the mat
ter to his deputy.
Conner Malott, correspondent of the
Spokesman-Review testified to a con-
versation with the sheriff before the
riot of April %, when Young objected
to stories he was sending out, saying
the witness should give the strikers
"the best of it, in making reports.

The defense only put one witness,
Sheriff Young himself, on the stand in
the Impeachment case. He was called
for information in addition to that
given in the case against the county
commissioners. He said in his opinion
arrests could have been made after the
mob dispersed and settled down, but
that any attempt then or while they
were still together would have meant
death to the person making the arrest.
He said he had no chance to make

baseball teams which. by their rec

Lines and tie Lagoons. The careers of
the two teams have been watched with
much interest by the local fans, and
since both have put Ogden out of the

Residents in the vicinity of Sixth West

collision of trains on the Seltair, Garfield
Beach and Rio Grande Western crossings
and the prediction is made that unless
greater caution is used at the point OF
danger a frightful loss of life on the bath

days. Formerly track Waterman was
employed but long since has the cross

Pittsburg, Pa, July There now
seems to be no doubt that there will be
an extensive strike at the Homestead
plant of the Carnegie Steel company.
Whether or not the contest will rival
that inaugurated July l, 1892, remains
TO be seen. The question at issue is
practically the same as in 1S92-recog-
milton by the company of the Amalga-
mated assOciation-and the men seem
determined TO stand by this intention
to the very last. The company. on the
other hand, has announced decisively
that no Amalgamated association men
can have employment in its plant.
