| The FIRST B[0ODSAED.
Result of an Attempt to Introduce
Foreign Miners Into In
diana Coal Mines.
THEY WERE FIRED UPON FROM AMBUSH,
Five Men Were Wounded, Including
bookkeeper James Moore, of the
Sunnyside Mine Company, at
Evansville, Who IL in n Critical
Condition.

Evansville, Ind, June 7s.-The first
bloodshed of the coal miners strike
that has been in progress here for two
months occurred shortly after mid.
night. 1t had been decided by the pro.
prietor of the Sunnyside mine that for.
eign miners would be imported to
start the mines. This decision was
made known TO the nnion men when
the Chicago scale had been offered them
without recognizing the union.
Imported Colored Miners.
About thirty colored miners FROM
Madisonville, Ky, came in over the
Louisville & Nashville and were met al
the station with a wagUnette by Jas.
ii. Moore, bookkceper and stock.
holder in the Sunnyside company. Tha
wagonette was driven by Edward
Geiger, son of the proprietor of fur.
niture store.
The company's plant is located on
the northwestern edge of the city.
about quarter of mile from the salt
wells, and is reached by a road branch.
Ing from the right of West Maryland
street. Moore and Geiger were in the
front part of the wagonette
Fired Upon From Ambush.
While the vehicle was passing a va
cant lot, just before making turn In
the road to go 10 the mines, parties on
the sides of the road fired in the dark
upon the wagonette. The driver, whip
ping up his horses, hurried to the
mine. \ few minutes later Patrolman
Ruston appeared, having been attract
ed by the firing. 1t seems that one or
two of those who had fred on the
wagonette remained in the neighbor-
hood, and seeing the policeman, open
ed fire on him. The shot struck his
helmet, but he was not injured. Three
other officers reached the place soon
afterwards, but they were not fired
upon.
The Wounded Men.
Five men were found wounded. They
were:
James Moore, serious.
Charles Smith, negro miner; criti-
cal
John Phillips, severe, but will re-
cover
Ed Geiger, driver; ear shot off.
Henry Smith, negro; slight.
John Norswesther. negro; slight.
The Mine Remains Closed.
The Sunnysidc mine remains closed,
and the imDOrted men are In hiding
The serious wounding Of Moore, the
bookkeeper, has made a deep impress
sion on the management. The mine is
getting into serious condition be-
cause of lack of operation. 1t is a
machine mine, and for this reason the
longer it remains idle the heavier the
loss.

New York, June 22.--For a short

The Boys Statement.
The boy. according TO Capt McClus-

HIS ADVICE NOT NEEDED.

During the circus performance yester-
day afternoon three clowns and a boy
played a mean trick on ]. T. O'Brien, the
well known insurance man, which has
caused a great deal Of mirth for his part
ner, Mr.. Peckover. At a certain time he
clowns appeared in front of the reserved
seats. One Of them had a stage dog, with
which he was performing. The stage dog
was made to stand IN its hind feet, sit
up, lie down and all hat sort Of thing.
About the time the clowns appeared on
the scene a boy with a brindle bulldog
happened on the front seats. The bull
dog became ferocious at seeing an image
q few feet away from the boy who held
him by the collar. Mr.. O'Brien, among a
large number of others, saw the bulldog,
but he was the most solicitious about II
accidents that might happen, probably
on account of being in the insurance bust
ness, and cautioned the boy to not let the
dog get away. The clowns in their per-
with the stage dog became
more noisy, and in ar unexpected moment
the bulldog got away. The stage dog re-
ceived a severe shaking up, and then it
became known that the bulldog belonged
to the circus, which caused O'Brien to be
dumbfounded and his partner, Mr.. Peck
over, nearly fell off the seats with laugh
ter.

WILLIAM I. STEAD AND SOME OF HIS RECENT cdARAcT

that great man would be put to shame by
the narrative.
A most curious character is this man
Stead. He is supremely egotistical, he
has perfect confidence in his own ability.
Unmitigatedly sensational and with I'M
limited cheek as the foundation for his
work his boundless energy has made hin
a man who will always rank as one of the
geniuses of the century. To study his
methods of work makes one wonder if
he is constructed of ordinary flesh and
blood: to follow him as he flies from one
end of the world to the other makes ones
head swim.
Today he may be in Chicago, delving
into the rankest depths of the corruption
OF a great city, or in New York studying
the equally great corruption of the politi-
cal party in power. Tomorrow he NAV
be in Russia interviewing the czar upon
the subject of his disarmament plan. or
in Germany interviewing the emperor
upon some one of the royal hobbies. But
in each place the author of IF Christ
Should Come to Chicago and the WAR
Against War" is equally great. When
he begins his study of a party. a prin-
clple or a man he may have but the crud-
est hearsay ideas of the subject in hand
but in a day or a week the article or the
book is written and his estimate of his
subject is usually extremely accurate and
just.
To prepare his latest work, "Th United
States of Europe on the Eve of the Par
lament of Peace" it was necessary that
he should trave from one end of Europe
TO the other. Between September Is and
November 26 he visited Belgium, France,
Italy,. Germany, Russia, Switzerland
Austria and Turkey where he had inter
views with each ruler as we'll as with
almost every prominent statesman and
people of note generally. asking them
their opinion of the two surprising events
