A BLOODY TRAGEDY
IN TENNESSEE
Which Resulted In Four deaths And
Three Persons Wounded.
GREW OUT OF LABOR TROUBLES
The Dead Men Were KILLED by
Guards Employed by the Tennes-
see Coal Creek Company to
Protect N0n-UniOn Miners.

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. S.-A bloody
tragedy was enacted Sunday in the lit
tie mining town of Coal Creek, Tenn,
forty miles northwest of Knoxville, as
the result of which four lives were
snuffed out and three persons wound
ed, one perhaps fatally. The clash
was the elimination of the trouble be-
tween union and non-union labor.
Three OF the dead men were killed by
guards employed by the Coal Creek
Company, while the fourth victim, a
deputy sheriff, was killed by a guard
he had gone to arrest
Those Killed Were;
Monroe Black, miner, married;
leaves wife.
Jacob Sharp, section hand, a by
stander; leaves wife and six children.
Deputy Sheriff Robert S. Harmon,
killed by Cal Burton, guard at the
Briceville mine.
The wounded Are,
A. r. Watts, merchant at Coal Creek,
an innocent bystander, shot through
both cheeks.
Mote Cox, miner, shot through left
arm
jeff Hoskins, engineer on the South
crn Railroad, slightly wounded.
killing Results From Taunts.
Recently dozen guards in charge
Of Jud Reeder who served as lieuten-
ant of police in this city for many
years, were employed to guard the
mines and protect the men who had
been induced to go to work Nom
union men were being brought to the
mines rapidly for few days, and
Reeder and his guards would 60 to the
railroad station to meet them, Sun
day crowd of idlers around the sta
ton was increased. Reeder and
twelve guards came from the mines to
meet few non-union men who were
to arrive on the morning train. When
the non-union men got off the train
and were seen by number of small
boys they began yelling "scab," and
the killing grew out or this taunt.
Deputy Sheriff Harmon Killed.
1t is hard to tell what the provoca-
tion was, but the miners must have
crowded up and attempted to take away
the non-union men bodily or offered
some direct insult to the guards.
Reeder and another guard drew their
pistols and began shooting, Reeder do
ing most of it. The miners and by
ISLANDERS were taken by surprise, and
before they could realize what had hap
pened the guards had climed into their
wagon and driven back to the mines
About IL o'clock dispute arose be-
tween Deputy Sheriff Bob Harmon and
Guard Cal Burton. Burton shot Har-
mon twice, killing him instantly.

MIX Sickness Reappears.

In the southeastern end of Smith
county there is deadly poison
known as milk sick" 1t has baf-
fled the skill of medical experts and
defies the research and investigation
of science. By some II is thought
to be mineral poison, by others a
vegetable or weed, but it is mys-
terry yet unsolved. Wherever it ex-
lists the milch cows eat of it or in
hale it and the milk from the infect
ed COW poisons those who drink the
milk, and so it is denominated "mil1
sick" or milk poison" For years,
at intervals, many have died awful
deaths from this deadly poison in
the vicinity of Lancaster.

DUG Up His Gold.

Perk Erown, who lives some eight
or ten miles from Union City, on
the Troy and Hickman road, whom
it was thought would die several
days ago of pneumonia, is improving
and the chances for his recovery are
good. Mr.. Brown is an old bachel-
or, who owns fine 500-acre farm,
and has accumulated quite a little
fortune, being very economical.
When his physician informed him
that he was likely to die, and that
if he had any business to see to he
had better attend to it, he informed
him that he had some money buried
in an clubhouse. The money was
dug up by neighbors and found to
be $5.64O, $1,000 being in twenty
dollar gold pieces The money was
taken to Troy and deposited in the
Troy bank.

SEATS WILL BE HARD TO GET.
Changes In Coliseum to Comply
with New Building Ordinances
Takes Ont Many Seats.

Chicago, Feb. S-The action Of
the city building department in limit
ing the seating capacity of the coli
scum, where the national republican
convention will be held, to 5000, has
thrown members of the national sub
committee and local politicians into a
turmoil. The action comes, of course,
as the result of the Iroquois fire hor-
ror and the reforms started by Mayor
Harrison following the disaster. With
all public halls and gathering places
the seating capacity has been reduced.
This will compel reduction in the
apportionment of tickets of admission
to the different states from what had
been expected. 1t is proposed to give
Chicago about 1000 tickets to each ses-
sion of the convention. These will be
turned over to the local committee for
distribution.

SENATOR HANNA'S CONDITION
His Extreme Weakness Is More
Marked Than Heretofore.
The Senator Is Taking No NOurish-
ment Except n Little MILK, and
Is Too Weak to Talk.

Washington, Feb. S.-Senator Han
ma passed Sunday without any radical
change in his condition. His extreme
weakness was more marked than
heretofore and his temperature was a
little higher. Those attending him,
however, insist there is nothing sig
nificant in these conditions, and that
there are no developments on which
to change their expressed belief that
the outlook is hopeful for the senator S
recovery. There was consultation of
Dr. Rixey and two out-of-town ply
sicians during the day, but the only
important development that transpired
as to the consultation was that it had
been decided to omit the evening call
of the attending physicians, so as to
give the patient more rest.
The consultation was held about 4
o clock Sunday afternoon. Those who
participated beside Dr. Rixey, the sur
geon general of the navy, who is the
regular attending physician, were Dr.
Osler, the expert diagnostician OF
Johns Hopkins university of Balti-
more, and Dr. Brewer Of New York
who has frequently attended Senator
Hanna in New York, and who Is fa-
miliar with his general condition. I'm
mediately after the consultation the
following bulletin was issued:
"Santor Hanna is doing well. His
morning temperature was little high
er, but the hearts action is good, and
there are no complications,
"(Signed)
"DRS. RIXEY AND OSLER."
The physicians explain that it is tc
be expected that the fever will in
crease until the crisis is passed, but
they do not name any definite date
when that crucial period will bt
reached.
The senator is taking no nourish
ment except milk. He is too weak eX
cept to talk an occasional few words
to those who are attending him, Mrs
Hanna and Miss Phelps, his niece, be
ing the only ones permitted to SCI
him, besides the physicians ant
trained nurses.
