MITCHELL is DEPRESSED.
Operators Think the Riot Will Lead to a Re-
sumption of of Work.
(By the Associated Press.)

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 31.-The riot at
Shenandoah last night has had a de-
pressing effect at strike Headquarters.
President Mitchell was up early and
asked for the newspapers. He said he
was very sorry that this had happened,
but declined to make any until
he had heard from District President
Fahey. Later, after receiving an official
report President Mitchell issued the fol-
lowing statements:
Complete and authentic reports fur
nished by national officers of our organi-
zation, located at Shenandoah, show that
the stories of the riot at Shenandoah
were greatly exaggerated and the facts
was killed or fatally injured and that
the entire trouble might nave been avert
ed had the deputies kept cool and used
greater discretion. While | greatly dep
recate acts of lawlessness by any one.
particularly by those on strike, l am
naturally pleased to learn that the trou-
bic is not as serious as first reported.
| nave repeatedly warned the strikers
that any violation of law on their part
would initiate against themselves alone,
and l am hopeful that there will not be
a repetition of trouble of this charac-
ter.
All the local leaders of the United
Mine-Workers deplore the shedding of
blood and the calling out of the troops.
They say the presence of the soldiers
Will encourage the operators to start up
their mines and if collieries in the
Schuylkill district are put in operation it
will only be a question of time unit
mines in other parts of the strike belt
resume, for the miners of the Wyoming
and Lackawarna valleys will not be con
tent to remain idle while their brethren
in other parts of the region are working.
1t is the history of past coal strikes
that the presence of the militia is almost
a sure indication Of an early resumption
of mining.
Those Of the local operators who could
be seen today are of the opinion that
the backbone of the strike is now bro
ken and that it will only be a short time
until there will be a general resumption
of mining.

There was another and somewhat
longer pause.
"You did not hear whether he had
any precious stones in his posses
sion?"
"Good gracious, mol From what
they told me gathered that the man
hadn't halfpenny in the world.
Why should he have been likely to
have had jewels? In point of fact
I'm sure he hadn't, for I was given
to understand he was about as Woe
begone customer as could be found
anywhere"
The blind man uttered heavy sigh
and sank back to his former position
upon the ground.
An hour and half later, just as
the shadows of evening were drawing
in, party of Silks put in an appear
ance, bringing with them dhooly,
in which they placed the injured man.
1t was almost dark when they
reached the station, where Grant
hams superior officer was awaiting
their coming.
'sWhat on earth's the meaning of
this?" he asked, as the cortege drew
up before the bungalow. 'Who are
these men? And where did you find
them?"
Grantham made his report, and
then the wounded man was lifted
out and carried to hut at the rear
of the main block of buildings. The
little man watched everything with
an eagle eye, as if he were afraid
some evil might be practiced upon his
companion. When the blind man had
been placed on bed, and his foot at,
tended to as well as the rough sur.
gerry of the place would admit, Grant
ham did something he had not al
ready done, and that was to ask them
their names.
"Ny name is Kitwater," said the
blind man, 'and the name of my
friend here is Codd-Septimus Codd.

Why it should have been so can
not say, but it was evident from the

Knew Too NIucb

A young man employed in al oys-
ter shop has lost his situation, and
this because he gave prompt answer
to his employers eager question.
The employer had six lively little land
turtles, which attracted much atten-
ton as they wandered aimlessly
about the window. He painted a
large white letter on the back of
each of the shells, and put up a no.
tice to the effect that, whenever the
turtles got into such relative posi-.
tions that the letters spelled "oys-
ter" he would present half dozen
natives to everyone who was looking
on. Then he became frightened lest
the mystic word should occur too
often, and covered reams of paper
figuring out the odds. He gave it up
at last, and was about to remove the
turtles when his most accomplished
oyster opener Informed him that the
odds were 72O to 1 against the COM
bination. The turtles are still in the
window, but the oyster opener has
gone. Such knowledge of odds, the
employer thought, could have been
acquired only by years of betting ex-
perience. 1t is not wise TO be too

PARI lll.-CONTINUED.
An hour later the stranger was so
far recovered as to be able to join
his hosts at their evening meal. Be-
tween them they had managed to fit
him out with somewhat composite
set of garments. He had shaved off
his beard, had reduced his hair to
something like order, and in conse-
quence had now the outward resem-
blance at least of gentleman.
"Come, that's BETTER" said Greg
DRY, as he welcomed him. II don't
know what your usual self may be
like, but you certainly have more the
appearance of man, and less that

brought you in. You must have
been pretty hard put to it out yon-

The recollection of all he had been
through was so vivid that the man
shuddered at the mere thought of
it.
II wouldn't go through it again for
.vorlds," he said. "You don't know
what I've endured"

Gregory inquired.

From that moment the strange,

point, and feeling that perhaps tn,
recollection of all he had suffered
might be painful to him, the tw,
men did not press him to unburde1
