THE STRIKE Of
COAL MINERS
WALK OUT IN BLossBURG AND
cARDINER-MEN At WORK
IN WILLOW CREEK.

The Associated Press covers the
general features Of the coal miners
strike, From local sources The OPP
tic learns that at Blossburg and Gard
ner, IN. M, the miners have gone out,
and the mines are not working today.
AT Willow Creek the mines are work
ing, though with a reduced force. At
Madrid the force has been somewhat
reduced. but q considerable force Is
still at work. There has been some
what OF an exodus from I'll these
camps during the past few weeks
since the strike was threatened. but
II seems probable that the companies
In New Mexico will be able to mine
some coal. notwithstanding the order
OF President Mitchell. At Gallup and
Clarkville the strike has caused no
trouble. -Four years ago the compan-
les had q strike OF their hands. They
succeeded IN mountaineering their
mines and bringing men from other
places to take the places Of strikers.
Since that time the companies have
paid union wages and employed union
men on the same terms as others.
but they have not recognized the
union. There has been some agitation
at Gibson regarding the question OF
q walk out, but in the Gallup vicinity
generally the men are well satisfied
with their wages and with conditions,
80 that the only effect likely to be
produced there by a strike in the ter
ritory Will be the mining Of more coal
at those camps.
The strikers declare that they can
force the companies to yield by tying
up the railroads, while the companies
assert that they a fill the places
Of strikers in short order, and that
as far as the railroads are concerned,
they have been laying In coal for 9
long time, and are not menaced. The
companies insist that the men have
no real grievance, that in many In
stances they are making as high as
eight and ten dollars a day. The mel
say that, while that may be true, OF
the face of II. that the script they 70
ceive from the company isn't wortl
nifty cents on the dollar: that the!
must live in company houses and bu.
at double prices in the company store
or they cant hold their Jobs. Accord
ingly. their apparent wages OF eigh
ana ten dollars a day doesn't amour
to two dollars a day.

The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1903-10-08
May Come to WinnemuCCa

Prof Lueien Christol, the noted
wrestler and all round athlete, who
for some time past has been engaged
as instructor of atheletics for the Reno
Wheelmen, wrote yesterday to County
Clerk Dunn, in regard to the outlook
and possibilities of athletics here, stat
ing that he had about decided to come
to Winnemucea and organize class,
giving instructions in any particular
branch of physical culture desired by
the individual members of the class
1t would seem that the plan would
prove success, for there are a large
number of young, men who would avail
themselves of an opportunity for train
ing under a competent teacher. Prof.
Christol's ability is unquestioned. and
he would undoubtedly meet with en-
couragement and success.

THE TRIAL
OF TILLMAN
State Rested Yesterday--Tes-
timony Regarding Threats
Publicly Made

LEXINGTON, S. c., Oct THE
trial of j. r. Tillman was resumed
today, the juror, Milton Sharp, being
well enough to be present
The state rested without the intro
duction of further evidence and the
defense entered at once upon the pre-
sentation of its case. Counsel of the
defendant first renewed the motion
made early in the trial that the court
instruct the jury to disregard all tes-
timony given by witnesses for the state
showing a weapon in the possession of
the defendant prior to the shooting.
The court ruled the testimony to be
competent.
Editorials from the Columbia State
referring to the defendant were read
by counsel for the defense and offered
in evidence. The court in ruling upon
point in controversy stated to the
jury that the purpose for which the
editorials were being read to the jury
was to show the feelings that existed
between the defendant and Gonzales.
A. X. Flowers, formerly street car
conductor in Columbia, testified that
in 1902 Gonzales and three other men
were riding on his car. He said that
while he was collecting fares they
were discussing politics and that he
heard Gonzales say that IL Tillman
was elected he would not be seated.
The witness added that he heard Con
zales say he would kill the rascal." "
On cross examination the witness said
he had not told of this until two
months ago, and said that he first
wrote 1t to the defendant.
