upon the health of the mine workers
We're the principal subjects brought be-
fore the arbitration commission today
by the attorneys of each side Of the con-
troversy. While there was an entire alb
sence of oratory or brilliant cross ex-
animation which marked the proceedings
during the last few days. the cross ex-
animation nevertheless hadd the close at
tention of the commissioners and they
gained much information upon the sew
eral features touched upon by the wit
nesses.
Tthe afternoon session was particu-
larly interesting because it brought out
much expert testimony on the question
Of the health of mine workers Three
physicians who have practiced in Scrsn-
ton or Wilkesbarre took the stand for
the miners in substance testified that the
occupation of a mine worker was very
unhealthfur' and shortened his life. One
physician. DR.. Frank P. Lenahan. of
Wilkesbarre, who says he has had a long
experience among mine workers. testi-
fed that fully SO per cent of the men
who work in the mines are anemlc Their
health is impoverished and their general
condition is below par. thus decreasing
their earning powers. The principal Ills
suffered by the miners. the physicians
said, were miners asthma rheumatism,
lumbago and sclatica. The miners asthma
comes from cold dust. powder smoke and
vitiated air
DR.. John O'MaHy, of Scranton. said
that at pOstmortems he had seen miners
lungs as black as anthracite itself and
DR.. Lenahan testified he had personal
knowledge Of a man coughing UP coal
dust nine years after he LETT the mines.
He said he had information that a man
had coughed up coal dust fifteen years
after he had left the mines. 1t was also
stated that 90 per cent of the miners
who reach the age of 90 years are affiict-
ed with some form of rheumatism.

TICKET SPECTATORS scALPgp
Yale Students Make an Attack and
Relieve Them.

New Haven. Conn. Nov. 29.-An extra
ordinary scene was witnessed here to-
night when Yale students made an attack
OF the ticket spectators and relieved
them Of every ticket for the Yale-Harvard
football game in their possession. The
SPECTATORS were given the regulation
price, 50. for every ticket taken. In sew
eIaI instances r-hen the ticket dealers re-
monstrated they were roughly handled.
The exorbitant prices demanded b.
SPECTATORS for tickets had aroused the
student body. and they decided TO take
the matter into their own hands. Most Of
the tickets taken were on the Harvard
side Of the field. and were obtained In
Boston by the spectators. \ few tickets
or the Yale side of the field were found
however. and as every ticket bears the
name of the student to whom it was is
sued. it is expected that there will be in
teresting developments in view of the fact
dat the football management some time
ago threatened to publish the names OF
students whose tickets were found in
the hands of spectators.

BLEW HIS OWN HEAD OFF

Guthrie. o. T., Nov 20.-News of a
horrible tragedy in Dewey county has
just reached this city The death Of two
men occurred in q very dramatical man
ner. The Enid Wave has this account
Of it:
Jr- Mudgett, accompanied by Dr..
Fleming of this city, returned from a
professional trip southwest last night
From DR.. Mudgett a reporter CLEANED
the following report of a shooting scrape
which happened in Dewey county, near
Selling, Just across the North Canadian
river from the south line Of Woods coun-
ty, last Saturday, about y o'clock, noon.
1t seems that a man by the name of Dill
Ion had some dispute with a man by
name of Miller and his partner. name
unknown. over a mortgage given or a
pair of horses. Miller and his partner
rode up to Dnlon's house and called him
out to arrange the business satisfactor-
lily. Dillon appeared at the door with a
Winchester in his hand and stepped out
into the front yard. Miller was about to
dismount when Dillon ordered him not
to dismount or he would shoot, and or
dered him to leave the premises at once.
Miller Strengthened up in his saddle
and laughingly said: An right, Dillon.
viii not get off my horse if you say so,
but I would like TO have you pay up that
mortgage
Dillon drew the gun to his shoulder
and shot Miller through the body, kill
ing him almost instantly, the body fail
ing to the ground.
The other man was riding a horse and
leading another.
Without a word of warning, Dillon
took deliberate aim at the man and fired.
but just as the snot left the gun the
horse threw his head up and the be .
passed through the horses head and nit
me man IN the right arm, breaking the
same. The horse fell dead.
Dillon then ran toward a corn field
carrying the gun. His wife followed,
him, screaming at the top of her voice
and pleading with him to let her have
tho gun.
In crossing a Iath fence into the corn
field he grasped a piece of lath about
two feet long, and after going into the
corn field a short distance, he placed
the r1uzzle of the gun 10 the side of his
head and touched the trigger with the
piece Of lath. ne snot blew the whole
top Of his head off, killing him instantly.
There was scarcely anything in the
dispute between the two men to bring
about such a killing and suicide. 1t is
thought by Dillon's friends that he was
out OIL his mind, as he had been acting
Al concerned in the shoot
ing affair were considered well to do,
respectable citizens. All the men have
families. Dnlon's family was left in
rather poor financial circumstances. The
man with the broken arm will recover"
