health.
The over distended stomach presses upon

AT WILKESBARRE.
Every Mine in wyoming Valley
Closed But One.

H~VoHy MAhe IA wyoming NaA1ey
Closed But One.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, September l7.-Every
mine In the Wyoming valley with the ex-
ception of one, was closed today by the
miners strike. The exception was the ooI-
liery operated by the West End Coal COM
pany at MOcamaqua. The men there re
fused to go out, saying they were satisfied
with the present condition of things. The
a little over $4,000.
BY nine O'Clock, President Nichols had
reports from every mine in the district.
They were very encouraging showing that
all had closed down with the exception
of the one at Mocamaqua. Early in the
morning 1t was thought that enough men
would be secured to operate one /. of the
collieries OF the Pennsylvania company
at Pittston but the union miners were
active and succeeded in inducing those
who contemplated going to work to re-
turn to their homes. The Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Coal company officials also
felt confident that they would be able to
eration Everything was ready TO start
up work, but when seven o'clock ar
rived not a dozen men had reported. The
company officials say they had promises
from number OF men to go to work but
at the last moment they backed out be-
ing unwilling to incur the ill-wil OF the
union miners who were watching the
movements of every man.
The other operators tell the same story.
One operator thought this feeling of fear
would die out in few days and then
there would be any number OF applicants
for work.
A Hungarian who attempted to go to
work in the Woodward mine. of the Lack
awanna company, was set upon by some
of his countrymen and badly beaten.
Sidney Bryant, an engineer at Bryant
colliery, Luzerne Borough, claims that
while on his way to work, he was
attacked by foreigners who pointed a
pistol at his head and threatened to
shoot him If he did not return home.
Not being armed he could offer no re-
sistance and took the advice of his assail-
ants and went home.
The miners here while they are well
pleased with the showing the men oil
the Wyoming valley have. made, do not
like the reports tha5 come from the
Lehigh valley and SeEuylkilI regions
They say that il the men In these dis
triots continue at work. 1t will only
make the fight in the Wyoming and
Laokawana valleys more prolonged, while
il all the miners quit work, 1t Nigh
bring the operators to terms sooner.
The operators take a rather hopeful
view OF the situation They say they d.
not hope to resume work tomorrow
but point to the fact that house divid
ed against itself Is bound to fall.
President Nichols said tonight tina
the men are we'll organized; far bette
than the operators ever expected ant
that there Will be no break in the rank
OF the men until they gain their point
From present indications there will b
no mines in the valley in operation to
morrow ana the United Mine Worker
will make a strong effort to close tn
cOlliery at Mocamaqua.

Another Man Says He Saw
Him Run From State House.

Frankfort, KY, September 1.-THE
first really sensational testimony in the
trial OF James Howard, charged with hav-
ing fired the shot that killed William Goe-
bel, was Civ On today by Bowman Gaines,
local livery man, and James Stubble-
field, former deputy sheriff OF Clay
county. The former identified Howard
as the man who ran out from the rear of
the State House grounds and jumped over
the fence Immediately after the shooting.
The most sensational witness, however,
and at the same time. the most Important
witness from the prosecution standpoint,
was James Stubblefeld, one-legged and
one-armed ex-deputy sheriff of Clay ooun-
ty. Stubbleneld testified that Howard ex-
ultingly told him that he fired the shot
that took Goebel' life. Stubblefeld said
he did not tell the story OF Howard's con-
Tession to him until he had heard that
Howard and his friends were planning to
kill him. The defense subjected the wit
ness to a severe cross-examinatiOn but
failed to tangIe him to any extent.
j. ID. jones of Knox county, was in
troduced by the prosecution and told OF
alleged remarks by Howard indicating
connection with the murder but his testi-
mony was entirely broken down by the
defense. The other witnesses examined
today told nothing new. The prosecution
win probably conclude its testimony to.

ATTEMPTED NO SHOOT HIS WIFE.


Machias, September Thames Camp
bell, a mason by trade, returned to his
home about six clock and without any
apparent provooation, seized his little
daughter, girl about ten or twelve years
of age, and comm enced to beat her.
Mrs. Campbell succeeded IN wrenching
the girl from the father, whose conduct
was evidently due to drink.
Angered by this, Campbell stepped into
an adjoining room and returned with his
rifle, which he leveled upon his wife,
who was trying to pacify her weeping
child. Without an instant's hesitation
she sprang forward and struck the end of
the weapon. At almost the same instant
the Infatuated husband pulled the trigger
and the contents of the rifle passed over
Mrs. Campben's head and through the
ceiling above. Springing forward through
the smoke she struck her would-be assas-
sin with all her might. 1t brought i'm

gone to Machias, where some of her rela-
tives reside.

the matter.
