SELF DEFENSE FOR HUNTER.
Claim Also Made That Sentence Was
Too HEAVY.

Des Moines, Oct. 10.-The Matt
Hunter case from Ringgold county was
argued before the supreme court OF
Iowa yesterday, and attracted more
attention among lawyers and others
than any case that has been presented
by oral argument for some time. The
appeal for reversal and new trial
was made by United States Attorney
Miles. Hunter shot and killed Homer
Holland in Mt. Ayr eleven months ago.
A gambling quarrel led up to the
fracas. Miles commended with force
that it was case of self-defense ana
that Hunter had been attacked by Hol.
land, the latter rushing upon the de-
PENDANT and making move to draw
revolver at the same time and 1t was
then that Hunter fired the fatal shot.
He contended also that the instruc-
lions were erroneous in that they pre-
sumed the guilt Of the defendant and
failed to indicate the proper rule of
self-defense. 1t was also contended
that the sentence was unusually
severe. Hunter was convicted OF MUIR
der in the second degree and was
given life sentence. He had failed
to find another instance in the history
of the state when the extreme penalty
had been given for second degree MUIR
der Attorney General Mullan argued
for the prosecution and cOntended the
verdict and sentence were just and
were borne out by the record.

WOMAN LEADS BOXER FIGHT.

Victoria, g. c.. Oct 2-A1vices have
been received from China of the in
crease of Boxerism both in Sze-C huen
and Chilli. In Sze-Chuen, the Boxers,
10000 strong. attacked Cheng-Tu, the
provincial capital, and there were some
sanguinary sights In The streets. The
Boxers were held in check by the i'm.
perial forces, and report being pro-
claimed that reinforcements were COM
ing for the garrison, the Boxers fled
from Cheng-Tu and encamped at Ship
pantan, where earth works had been
thrown up.
The Boxers of Sze-Chuen are led by
a woman, Limo Kuan Yin, who is al
legged to be one of three sisters who
were arrested at Tien Tsin during the
ce&e2lisn ef 1900, it being said that
they were "the Boxer Goddesses."
Letter from Prince Tuan, Yung Lu
and other Boxer leaders were found
in their possession. This woman, who
is described as being handsome, had
attracted $4,000 Boxers to her stand
ard. The Chung Kiang correspondent
for the North China News says:
"She ia the most powerful rebel
chief in Sze-Chuen."

END a LONG WAYS OFF.
Action Of Miners Does Not Presage an
Early Strike Settlement.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 9.-Unless
President Mitchells hurried visit to
New York bears fruit, the end Of the
mine workers strike seems long way
of and the prospect of sufficient coal
being mined to satisfy the public de-
mand is extremely poor. Every local.
union of the miners organization
throughout the hard coal belt held a
special meeting yesterday, and resolv-
ed to remain on strike until the mine
owners grant them some concessions.
And while the reports of these meet
igs came pouring into Wilkesbarre,
President Mitchell dictated letter to
the president of the United States in
which he gave his answer to the propo-
sition that the strikers return to work
and trust to have their condition i'm
proved through an investigation COM
mission. What the answer of the min
ers' chief is he refused to divulge.
Mr.. Mitchell sent his letter to Wash
ington before he had heard from all
the locals. Yesterday afternoon, ac-
companied by the three district presi-
dents, he left for New York. His mis-
sion there is also secret. AS New
York is the headquarters of the coal
operators, rumor Immediately spread
that a settlement was in prospect, but
Mr.. Mitchell and his colleagues would
not say whom they expected to meet.
Nearly all the resolutions passed by
the various miners meetings contain
ed a sentence to the effect that the
men will remain out, though all the
troops in the United States were sent
here, until they are granted some con-
cessions.
Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 9.-The entire
National guard Of Pennsylvania is en-
camped in the anthracite coal regions,
the last regiment from the western
part of the state having arrived late
yesterday afternoon.
Contrary to expectations, the troops
@ere weX, received and there was no
disposition on the part Of the strikers
to annoy the soldiers. There was only
one instance during the day Of any
show of feeling, and this was manifest
at Bethlehem, when some boys stoned
the second section of the train bear
ing the First regiment from Phila-
delphia.
Universal quiet reigns throughout
the entire region. Brigadier General
Schall, who arrived at Tamaqua this
afternoon, telegraphed to Major Cen
eral Miller that there was no disturb
ance of any kind in the district.

Creston, Oct. S.-The boiler in the
Jones laundry, which is located in the

The heavy plate glass in front was
