Mrs. Andrews Now Does All Her

We have often called our Renovation

MORE MINING TROUBLE
Agitation in Favor of an Immedi.
ate General Strike in French
Coal Regions.

Paris, Oct. THE national commit
tee of the French Miners federation
met here today with the intention of
deciding whether an immediate general
strike was to be ordered, agitation in
favor of such a step having been in
progress for some time. The meeting
lasted three hours and then adjourned
until tomorrow without arriving at a
decision.
NJ. Basic, a socialist deputy who rep
resents an important district of the
coal fields, says he is confident that a
general strike will be ordered, and that
20 900 out of 100000 miners viii obey
the order. He added that the strike
will extend over the Pas de Calais, the
Nord, the Loire and the CarmauX re-
gions.
The reason Why the committee failed
to vote with regard to ordering gen.
eral strike Is understood to be because
discussion of the matter developed a
division of opinion. The majority was
in favor of an immediate strike. but
the minority desired first to attempt TO
negotiate with the government The
minority induced the majority to post
pone action and give it an opportunity
TO approach the government with a
view Of securing promise of early leg
/ islation which would render the strike
unnecessary. kilograms received here

Especial to The Herald)

~ COFIELD. Utah, oct. THE town
y Of Scofeld is stnl excited over
the shooting affair OF Sunday
evening. Rumors are afoat that
the SlaVs were 20 make an
attempt TO release the prisoner from
the town jail. Sheriff Wilcox arrived
in Scofield on the morning train. and.
after investigating matters, concluded
TO take no chances as 20 the prisoner
being released by a mob. He put a
strong guard around the JAN and any
attempt to get the prisoner out will
be frustrated. The Jail was guarded
strongly all last night but no attempt
was made. The officers would not al
lew any person near the jail without
challenging them. The Slavs are great
ly excited and there were several
groups of them around town talking
eXcitedly. Several people were stopped
by them and asked their business out
at that time OF the night.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney T. c.
Hanford, from Price, arrived on tnA
morning train and after investigating
concluded TO hold another inquest. rs
he was not present at the inquest held
yesterday, IN order TO get in touch
with the evidence.
| The evidence produced at the inquest
| today was about the same as yester-
| day. and somewhat conflicting The
| evidence of Mrs. Bartnick, widow OF thu
/ deceased, and also that Of Geniskys
| the accused. was TO the effect that
| Nalley was shot by Bartnick and that
| Bartnick was shot by the marshal.
| while the other witnesses testified that
| Genlsky was the one that shot Nal
| ley.
The verdict brought in by the cor
oner's jury was that deceased came TO
his death from a gunshot wound at
the hands Of parties unknown. A short
time after the inquest the funeral serv-
ices were held over the remains OF
Bartnick and a great many OF his
friends and cOuntrymen followed his
remains TO the burial grounds.
Genisky has retained the well known
law firm OF Braffett & Weber OF Salt
Lake to take care Of his case. Sher-
III Wilcox says he has the matter vel
in hand and does not anticipate ans
further trouble. The preliminary hear
ing of Genisky has been postponed foi
few days until a number OF import
ant witnesses have returned from Sal
Lake. Deputy Nalley is doing as wei
as can be expected, having undergone
an operation last night at st. Mark
hospital. The physicians say he hai
