Hazleton, Pa, October 6.-President
Mitchell, when shown the dispatch to-
day in which the officer of a political
organization was quoted as saying that
the anthracite coal miners strike was
planned by Mr.. johnson, of the national
Democratic committee, mayor Of Indian
apolis, and himself, at recent meeting
in Indianapolis, said that the story was
positively untrue. He said he did not
know Johnson, and never held CONVEX
sation with him or Mayor Taggart in
his life. President Mitchell said any
man who would inaugurate strike in
the interest Of any political organiza-
tion would be deserving of the severest
punishment that could be meted out,
and any person that would make politi-
cal capital out of the suffering men,
women aud children in the anthracite
region would be unworthy of the priv
ilege of citizenship.

A PROGRAM OF SPORTS.

After the races the crowd adjourned
to the plaza, and was there entertained
by prize ring performance, an open
air concert and an Indian dance. The
latter was very brilliant affair, and
was declared by many who have seen
similar performances in the past to
have been the best they had yet seen.
About fifty Indians participated, each
bearing an American flag, which was
the signal for vigorous outburst of
applause from the spectators. The In
dians had previously rehearsed the
dance in large hall furnished them by
Hon. Frank Staplin. editor Of the Taos
Cresset, and their execution Of the
movements was excellent. During the
dancing the Pueblo war chief wrapped
himself in large flag. folded so as to
form bag and went around among
the spectators. who showered upon him
literally their dimes and quarters.

who served with that fearless com
mander. once said to me that the
right bullet would always find its
mark no matter how small the latter
might be, and then he related an Incl
dent which occurred during the civil
war. In one of the engagements of
his commando cant remember now
whether or not he mentioned the place
"a piece of shell hit the ground near
where soldier was standing and
scared him so badly that he jumped
straight up in the air like a rabbit. AS
he did so a mimic ball knocked off the
crown of his head.
THAT was the one particular bullet
intended TO kill him. said General
Lawton, and he actually had to jump
after it,
He spoke in light. offhand fash

seriousness in his voice, and inferred
from the story that he was, like most
veteran soldiers a pronounced fatal
ist."-Collier's Weekly.
