Of SPARKS Relieved.

The execution against OF Sparkle
late sheriff of Cherokee county
caused by Ops stand to protect the
miners in their strike in the coal
mines in the north part of this coun.
ty three years ago, has been dis.
missed, in the federal court. The
costs in the injunction cases
against Sparks amounted to $l6OC
and his property was levied on to
pay them. The miners feeling quite
kindly toward Oh determined tina,
he should not lose cent 80 they
paid the bill for him. The follow.
ing is from Tuesday's Columbus
Advocate:
To-day the Advocate received
from Deputy United States Marsha
Frank Hollenba an order to stop
the publication notice of an execu-
ton against Oh Sparks, late sheriff
of Cherokee county, and the sale
will not take place. The case is so
well understood that mention of ii
is hardly necessary. Sparks, as
sheriff, waa made nominal party in
an action for damages growing out
of the strike disturbances about
four years ago. Sparks understood
the matter was dism issed and was
a few weeks ago surprised to have
an execution issued and a levy
made upon his property. It is
much to the credit of the miners
who were effected by the matter
that they voluntarily contributed
the amount of the judgement in the
federal court and paid it and thus
Mr.. Sparkle of the liability.
The Advocate congratulates Mr..
Sparks that he is freed from this an
and also we very cordially
the generous impulses of
the miners who come te the relief
of Mr.. Sparks when he was made to
bear the whole burden"
