When the battle was over ten
miners and a mine guard named
Stewart Hunt were dead and thirty
others we're writhing in agony from
the wounds which they had receiv-

Names of the others could not be
obtained. The details as received
here are extremely meagre, but the
main facts are as given above.
Excitement in Charleston is in
tense, and the river region is boiling
over.
Cunningham was resisted few
days ago In the same place, and was
driven off without being able to make
the arrests which he attempted to
make. He went back to-day prepared
for any emergency.

ing Wholesale Arrests-How the
Battle was Fought-More Trouble
Is Feared.
Latest reports from the Raleigh
horror decrease the number of killed
from eleven to four. The details of
the fight received from Charleston
at noon today are as follows:
A pitched battle occurred at
Wrights Coal Works in Raleigh
county, yesterday evening, between
one hundred United States deputy
marshals and deputy sheriffs under
Chief Deputy Cunningham, of
Charleston, and Sheriff Cook of
Raleigh county, and two hundred
striking miners, who refused to per
nit Federal officers to serve injunc
ton papers. The posse met with a
mob, armed with Winchesters, who
defied arrest and service papers
They followed defiance with hos
Utilities, opening fire on the deputies
at once. The deputies responded
and the battle ragged furiously for
several minutes. Three striking
miners were killed. six fatally
wounded, and tn zee badly wounded.
One co.ored deputy marshal was
killed, two wounded and special
officer Howard Smith, of the Chesa-
peaKc Il Ohio railroad was shot in
the arm. The striker slipped up on
him and fired. Smith lodged the
bullet intended for his heart and re
ceived it in his arm. He then killed
the striker with pistol.
After the strikers had repulsed
the miners they followed up this ad
vantage and secured the arrest Of
over hundred, who were brought
to Beckley under guard. Cunning
ham and posse have gone back to
the scene and will arrest every one
Implicated An ugly strike in prog
ress there is the cause of the trouble.
Most OF the mob are foreigners.
A special car conveyed the wound
ed men to men to hospital. Fifty
nine men are under arrest at Beck
ley under the guard of deputy
marshals. The miners had defied
the service of injunctions and had
burned railroad trestle. D. W.

When court convened this morn ine
the first thing taken up was the mo.
tion for new trial for Nicola Mar.
tucio who had been found guilty oil
attempted rape. The grounds fol-
the motion as set forth by his counsel
were as follows:
That the verdict in the case was
not sustained by the law and the evil
dence.
That improper evidence offered by
counsel for the state had been admitt-
ed.
That proper evidence offered by
the defense had not been admitted.
Because OF improper instructions
on the part OF the court to the jury.
Because of misconduct on the part
OF the jury.
Because OF new evidence having
been discovered.
All morning was devoted to hear
ing the argument. 1t developed dur
ing the course OF this that two MEM
tiers OF the jury had retired from the
box during the Trial without author
ity Of the court and had gone into an

without foundation.
DR.. t. F. Lanham, OF Grafton, has

The closing is announced to be of in
definite duration.
Some friction has developed between
the health officer and the school board,
but the latter yielded to his authority
and closed the schools. Much feeling
has been engendered by the move over
town, and there have been some hot
comments nassed unon IT.
To the Editor Of the New DOMINION.
Inasmuch as the diagnosis of small
pox made by Drs. Fitch aud Warren,
has been questioned by one OF the
local profession, think IL but just to
the above named physicians to say
through their courtesy ! was asked to
see Mr.. Mason, of the West Side, and
most positively coroborate and sustain
Drs. Brown, Fitch and Warren.
Mr.. Mason was exposed TO the dis.
ease by attendance upon Mr.. Demoss,
therefore 1t is fair to suppose that the
sickness of Mr.. Demoss was smallpox.
While l am satisfied that we have
the disease in our community, there is
no cause for alarm, but there is ne
cessity for supervision and care.
All persons, from the infant to the
aged, should be vaccinated. Any one
having sickness, and especially erup-
tive diseases, should not rely upon
their own judgment as to its nature,
but call physician and let the re-
sponsibility rest upon him.
The cardinal points in combating
the spread of smallpox is isolation of
the sick, vaccination OF the entire
public, and disinfection of refuse mat
ter.
Very truly,

1t is like the penny in the

because there is something

SCOTS Emulsion is simply
milk of pure cod liver oil

Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
