EXPRESS SAFE MYSTERY
TREASURE BOX FOUND NEAR THE
RIVER CLOSE TO TOLEDO.
Nothing i'm 1t Except Way Bills and
Six Empty Money Bags Belong
ing to the Pacific Company.

TOLEDO, o., June W.-This afternoon
several fishermen found near the river, two
miles from town, large iron safe on which
was the name of the Pacific Express Com
pany. The door had been battered in. On
the inside were number OF way bills and
six empty money bags. The find was re-
ported TO the police and to the local Of
ficers of the express company. The clerks
refused to make a statement, but they
identified the safe as the property of the
company. They said such a safe was sent
out of this city on Tuesday night on the
Wabash for st. Louis and Omaha. but de-
clined to say what it contained. 1t is be-
lieved the safe was stolen on Wednesday
night, because of the fact that near the
place where the safe was found horse and
buggy which had been stolen the previous
evening was also found and a grocery store
located about half mile distant was
robbed last night. There is an unconfirmed
rumor this evening that the safe contained
$4,000 in gold.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 20-Superintendent
Fuller. of the Pacific Express Company,
when seen tonight by an Associated Press
reporter said that he had received no ad-
vices from Toledo regarding the safe in
cident.

CHICAGO. June 20.-The Record-Herald

pesult in bringing many thousand Italians
to this country and in locating them on

UNION MINERS SHOT.
Two Fatally and One Dangerously
Wounded by Guards.

NATAWAN, w. Va, June 20.-The trou-
BILE long anticipated has at last come, and
the strained relations between the union
and nonunion miners have resulted in
bloodshed. To-day several hundred union
miners, who were on strike. marched in a
body against the Maratime mines, of this
place, where nonunion men were at work.
They tried TO effect an entrance, but the
operators, with twenty guards armed with
Winchesters behind them, blocked the en-
trance. The nonunion miners were headed
by Superintendent Lambert, and when the
previously warned union men persisted in
their attempt, he gave the command to
fire. Fully fifty shots were fired. Boyd
Martin and Riley Johnson were fatally shot
and Sam Artrip was dangerously wounded.
The union men did not return the fire. but
dispersed, waiting reinforcements and
swearing vengeance
All the union miners throughout A1ingo
will try to get here tomorrow. Serious
trouble is expected. Sheriff Hatfield, a
nephew of the famous ''Cap'' Hatfield, is on
the scene with fifty deputies and says he
proposes to do his duty. Unless the union
men back down it is hard to predict the re-
suit
