ecutive officers. The tunnel which viii
drain most of the big mines of the dis
ttrict would hav- been completed In

quence OF the refusal Of Superinten-
dent Bainbridge to employ only union
men.

tect the work, and if it is necessary
for US to put on our working clothes
and do the labor ourselves said Pres
ident Samuel Bernard, of the ElPaso
Mining company. which has the con-
tract for building the tunnel
1t is not unlikely that rich mine
owners and high salaried miners will
go into the big bore to take the places
of the men called out yesterday.
There are now about 1000 miners
idle in the district. The miners have
announced their determination to re-
sumo operations as soon as men can be
secured, preference being given to for
mer employees.
The owners characterize the action
of the officers of the Western FEEDER

the absence of any grievance as ar
bitrary and unjustifiable." and an

PENALTY is LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Jury Believed TO Have Compromised on
Verdict, Majority of Them Favorins
Assessment of the Death Penalty
First Conviction for Twenty Seven
Murders by Harsis- coekriII Feudists.

Cynthiana, KY, Aug. 14.-The Jury
in the case of Curtis Jett and Thomas
White, charged with the assassination
of James B. Marcum. this morning re-
turned verdict of guilty and fixed the
punishment of each at life imprison-
ment. The verdict was returned when
but few persons were in the court room.
Jett received the verdict with compar-
ative indifference and calmness. White
flushed up and his eyes filled with tears.
Attorney Golden for the defense stated
motion for new trial viii be made as
soon as possible.
The verdict occasioned little surprise
after the deliberation Of the jury had
been so prolonged. The only question
which caused delay, it Is said, was that
of punishment, death or life imprison-
nlent. The verdict on the whole is re-
garded as victory for the defense, as
the prosecution asked that the men
either go acquitted or be hanged. The
case has been on trial almost threa
weeks. At the first trial the jury dis
agreed, and 1t Is believed that the ver-
diet today was a compromise with 3
juror opposed to capital punishment.
The friends Of Captain Even and other
witnesses for the commonwealth, who
have suffered greatly and were living
in fear Of their lives. are greatly re-
lieved They expected a death penalty
and would have been followed by cons

posing the parties high in authority in
Breathitt county, who are considered
to be back of the conspiracy. There
have been twenty-seven lives lost DIR
ing the past two years in the Hargis-
Cockrill feud in Breathitt county and
this is the first conviction. Jett Is still
