TWO HELD OVER.
Anderson and GoIdswOrIhy Are
Placed Under Bond.
The Examining Trial Of Empire
Prisoners Concluded
Friday.

The trial of the FIVE men charged
with the shooting, at Empire Coal
Mines Oct. 20 was concluded Fri
day afternoon.
Ed Godsworthy and Ellis Deck
ard were released early in the trial.
AT the close Of the examination,
which occupied FIVE days, Judge
Cansler dismissed the charges
against Geo. Phillips and held over
Jim Will Anderson under bond Of
ST. 500 and Will Goldsworthy under
a bond Of $500
Both men gave bond Saturday
evening and all of the five prisoners
returned to their homes.
The speeches of the attorneys for
the prisoners, at least two Of them,
were very bitter
Judge Yost was severe IN his
criticism Of the deputies who were
sent to Empire to restore order and
also strongly censured Jailer VIII
hanson and other county officials
He roundly abused the Empire Coal
Company and demanded the re-
lease of the men as much perse.
euted set of laborers, in struggle
between labor and capital.
Mr.. r.. Y. Thomas, of Greenville,
was even less guarded in his ut
terances than Judge Yost and his
abuse Of witnesses came very near
to involving him in personal difficult
ties in one or two instances. He
referred to Officer George Lander
as "puppet of the Empire Com
prny.' officer Lander understood
him to say puppy" and persona
altercation was only ayerted after
they left the court room by a timely
explanation by Judge Yost, who
acted as peace-maker.
Mr.. Chas. Fl. Bush, who was also
on that side, made speech along
entirely different lines, dealing
with questions Of law and evidence
and avoided course that was cal.
culated to prove hurtful to his
clients.

safety Two men were now all
that remained in the ditch, and
several men in one of the houses
centered their fire on them.
For few minutes the FIRE was
returned, but presently one was
heard to scream. His rifle, which
he held in his hands, fell to the
ground, and he fell with a bullet IN
his head. The other man continu-
ed to return the FIRE of the guards.
When the man in the ditch scream
ed the leader of the attacking par
ty came from his hiding place and
attempted to pull the man out.
Failing in this, he picked up the
rifle and returned to his hiding
place. Only one man continued to
FIRE from the ditch. For several
minutes he returned the shots Of
the guards.
Presently he ceased, and again
the leader of the attacking party
came from his hiding place and at
tempted to carry the man away
with him. But before he could do
so a bullet struck him and he fell to
the ground. He yelled to his COM
panions that he was shot, and sew
eral ran forward and in the face OF
the heavy FIRE of the guards they
carried him from the field A few
minutes after the leader fell the fire
of the attacking party ceased.
Dying Man Found.
The guards and nonunion men,
after waiting few minutes, went
up the hill, There in the ditch lay
one man with a bullet in his breast,
calling for help A little further
they found the body of negro with
a bullet in his head The rest of
the attacking party were not to be
seen. A number of the guards and
nouunion men started out in pur-
suit of the strikers, hoping to cap
ture them, but after a chase which
lasted an hour they returned to the
mines without having seen one of
them.
The guards then returned to the
foot Of the hill and, entering a
negro boarding house, found two
men badly wounded. Under the
house they found another man
wounded. In a lot near the mines
lay one horse and two mules dead,
while three others were dying.

FATAL RIOT.
Pitched Battle Waged Between
Miners and Strikers at
Providence.

Six Men Shot and State Troops
Hurried to the Scene Sunday
Night.
AS the result of an attack Sunday
morning by band of about seven
ty-five armed union miners on the
nonunIon miners and guards en-
ployed by the Providence Coal Com
pany, in Webster county, one man
was killed, another was fatally
wounded and three men were seri-
ously wounded, while one man,
who is believed to be the leader of
the attaching party. is reported to
have been killed, and many persons
had narrow escapes from death.
The shooting continued about
two hours Troops are now on The
scene, and no further trouble is an

! Morton Bush, nonunion miner,
Shot in the shoulder.
Hutch Dawson, nonunion miner.
Shot in both arms.
The Battle Begins.
The trouble commenced at 6
O'clock, when a company of about
seventy FIVE armed union men APP
peared on a hill about four hum
Edred y ards from the slope mine of
the Providence Coal Company and
began firing on the tipple. AT the
first fire the guards were aroused,
and Immediately prepared to resist
the attack. They were soon joined
by many Of the non-union miners,
and the fire Of the attacking was
returned.
Guards RepuIsed.
The attacking party continued to
fire on the tlpple, and the guards
and nonunion miners were forced to
run and seek shelter elsewhere, as
the bullets were falling all around
them. Many of the guards sought
refuge in the homes Of the nonunion
miners. Others hid behind box
cars and coal cars and again be-
gan firing at the men on the hill
This time the fire seemed too hot
for the attacking party, and they
sought shelter in an old ravine.
From this position they opened fire
on the residences of the nonunion
negro miners at the foot of the hill.
The negro women and their chill
dren were forced to leave the houses
and run for their lives to escape the
bullets of the union men, who were
firing as fast as they could reload.
Charged the Rioters.
Finding that their fire had
little effect on the union miners, the
guards and nonunion miners began
to advance on them, hoping to make
them stampede, but as they ad-
vanced the union miners poured
another heavy fire into them and
they were again forced to seek
shelter, this time behind pile of
coal slack, where they again open
ed FIRE on the strikers. The men in
the ravine continued to shoot at the
homes of the nonunion miners. AS
the occupants fed the FIRE of the
strikers was conferred on them, but
none Of them was injured.
Many Of the nonunion miners
tried to escape the bullets by hid
ing under their houses, but one
man who sought shelter there was
struck by bullet Of a forty-four
caliber and seriously wounded.
Re-enforcements Arrive.
In the meantime re-enforcements
