st. Louis. Speciai.-A special from
Duquon. ILL.,, says that it became
known there Wednesday that three
weeks ago Joseph Letter was indicted
or three counts on the charge of
bringing armed men into the State.
contrary to recently passed statutes
No attempt has been made to serve
the canias or to arrest Letter, because
States Attorney Scott will retire and
wishes to leave the case over for his
successor. Indictments have also
been returned against Attorney Henry
Platt, OF TIE Zciglcr Mining Company.
The charge Is taking armed men
through the State without permission
of the Governor. There are three
counts N the indictments.
The punishment for the offcnse on
which the two men have been indicted
is confinement in the penitentiary
from one to five years. with no fine
as an alternative. Union miners and
railroad men in charge Of the cars on
which it is alleged imported miners
rode and were guarded by armed men
were the witnesses before the grand
jury.
Members OF the executive board OF
the United Mine Workers say that
leniency was given Letter and Platt
and that no one outside the grand
jury room knew that indictments had
been returned until the information
leaked out.
Thus far in the Zeigler trouble. one
nan has been killed. That was on
November 10th, when car load of
miners was being imported and the
car was fired on from ambush. one
Austrian being fatally shot.
There are no records of any other
person even havingfl been injured
few have been waylaid and beaten.
but they were not in Zeigler. They
were men who had gone to some OF
the nearby towns where liquor is sold
For these assaults, only one arrest
has been made, and the prisoner
proved an albi and was released.
Attorney Platt says the attacks on
Zeigler had grown so bold and had
become so desperate that Sheriff
Stein found it necessary to call out
the militia. All was quiet Wcdnes-
cay night. Just what effect the pres
ence OF the militiamen will have OF
the strike at the ZeIgler coal mines
remains TO DC seen. AT Zeigler the
stockade is about 500 feet long and
lie. 1t is a tight board
fence about fifteen feet high. At each
end at diagonal corners are block
ouses. in each OF which is a ma
chine gun. AS soon as the darkness
approaches these guns arc placed in
readiness for an attack. They are
used, too. Attorney Plat says, every
tight.
There is probably no denying the
fact that some shots are fired into
the stockade from ambush. It only
requires one shot for the men be-
hind the machine guns to get in ac-
tion. They send bullets into the trees
500 yards away like hail. Platt says
these shots from the machine guns
have been answered promptly.

lynched by a mob Of IS to 100 masked
men. Early last week, Cummings en-

near Appling and attacked her. She
managed to cry out and Cummings fled.
A posse was organized in the neigh

to his home. He denied all knowledge
of the crime, but his shoes that he had
left under the young lady's window in
his hurried departure We're produced

Lynching was narrowly averted at
the time of the capture. The solicitor

hurried to the settlement where the
crime was committed and guaranteed
speedy trial if the negro was not
lynched. 1t is thought everything was
satisfactorily arranged and the early
