The Remains.
Within the house OF death was woe
unspeakable. In the drawing-room to
the right Of the hall, as President
Roosevelt entered the dead chief

head was TO the rising sun. On his
face was written the story of the
Christian forbearance with which he
had met his martyrdom. Only the
thinncss of his face bore mute tes-
timony 10 the patient suffering he
had endured. lie was dressed as he
always was in life. The black
frock coat was buttoncd across the
breast where the first bullet of the
assassin had struck. The black
string tie below the standing collar
showed the little triangle of white
shirt front. The right hand lay at
his side. The left was across his
body.

EXCITED At CENTRAL CITY
FUNERAL OF HENRY TAYLOR YESTERDAY

Central City, Jan. 23.-Nearly
all the miners here and at nearby
mines have been idle yesterday
and today because of the excite
ment created by report of the
fight between the marching min
ers and Sheritf's posse in Hopkins
county Monday. Echols mine
worked yesterday, but all are out
today. The funeral of Henry
Taylor, who was killed in the
fight, will be held today. There
has been much drinking among
the miners and they are making
threats openly against Hopkins
county officers and the non-union
miners and operators of that
county.
A report has gained circulation
here, which is believed by the
union miners, that the Sherilf's
little posse made an unprovoked
attack upon the body of march
ing miners and that the officers
fired the first shots. Taylor is
classed as martyr. The miners
here, too, have insisted all along
that the non-union mines of
Hopkins, Webster aud Christian
counties have been badly crippled
or shut down, and refuse to be-
lieve the published figures as TO
output shown in the papers from
time to time.
1t is learned here that the en-
ployes Of one concern on this
road alone have been paying
$1,000 q month into the fund for
the purpose of enabling district
president jim Woods to continue
his efforts to organize or cripple
the non-union mines of Hopkins

when he reaches the shaft after
dinner, always tells his men

mines for the previous day.
They do not believe it.
