with SO many difficulties that II was
not taken seriously.
Tyson 8. Dimes, Denver attorney
and one of the executors OF the STRAIT
ton estate, is here In conference with
Citizens alliance leaders and 1t 10 an
nounced that he is preparing form
which will be presented TO every mer-
chant and business man and other en-
ployers Of labor In the entire district,
pledging them not to employ any per-
son who 10 ahiliated with labor
union. No person working for q living
will be exempt and the absolute ami
hilation Of unionism In this county
is predicted by members Of the citi-
zens' alliance and the Mine Owners
association. This is considered the
most drastic step yet taken by the al
lance since II secured the upper hold
in the district and its enforcement
will affect 1900 men and women now
afiliated with the various unions.
Among the unions that will be affected
by the new movement are those of
the clerks, cooks and walters, bar
tenders, carpenters, electricians, train
men and stone and brick masons. The
unionists assert they will fight the
movement to finish.
Deputies have been busy all day
making arrests and at six o'clock
there was confined in the bull pen a
total of 81 men. The mining ex-
change hall is being used as bull
pen in addition to the Victor armory.
Armed deputies are perched in the gal
leries Of the exchange, the prisoners
occupying the pit Of the call room.
Several guards are at the door, each
carrying repeating shotguns that con-
tain buckshot. Families and wives OF
the prisoners made an endeavor to see
and have q talk with the husbands
and fathers incarcerated, but in most
cases permission was refused.
Five Of the six members OF the Gold
field city council are in the bull pen,

tive body.
The committee of safety has made
demand upon District Attorney Henry
Trowbridge that he remove his dep
uty, J. G. Cole, and also requested
that s. D. Crump be appointed to fill
the vacancy. So far no reply has been
received from Mr.. Trowbridge. s. D.
Crump, whom the committee asked |
to have appointed, is the attorney for
the Mine Owners association.

wENTz DIED BY AN ACCIDENT.
So the Jury Say-EIis Father Thinks
That He Was Murdered.
(By the Associated Press. }

Bristol, Tenn, May 11.-"He came
to his death by accidental discharge
of his own pistol" is the verdict of
the coroner's jury which for nearly
two days has been investigating the
circumstances and conditions sur
rounding the death of Edward l..
WentZ, the young millionaire, whose
body was discovered decayed and un-
buried on a spur of Black mountain
last Sunday afternoon. The first and
second days session of the investiga-
ton were held at the spot on the
mountain. where the body was diScov-
cred. The verdict came as a surprise
in every quarter as the great majority
of the people who heard the evidence
and examined conditions surrounding
the body as it lay on the mountain
believe the cause To have been suicide,
while there are many others, who say
there is crime SO deep and cunning
as TO make the affair more mysterious
than ever.
Mr.. j. f. Bullitt. OF Big Stone Gap,
attorney for the Wentz interest in this
section, conducted the examination
of witnesses for the family. The
first witness was David Raleigh, the
youth who discovered the body. Mr..
Bullitt, representing the Wentz family,
said today that Dave Raleigh would
certainly receive a suitable reward,
but as yet the amount had not been
decided upon. Regardless of the
jury s verdict of accidental killing it
is certain that detectives represent
ing the Pinkerton agency Will remain
in this section in connection with the
case.
Philadelphia, May 11.-Dr. John S.
Wentz, father of f.. l.. Wentz, who
was found dead in Virginia, gave out
today the following statement:
MY son did not commit suicide He
had no reason whatever for doing
such a thing. Some people would like
to show that he did. i'm order to clear
themselves of his murder, but their
plan viii not work. Edward did not
have a revolver with him when he
disappeared. All the weapons he
owned have been found in his home in
Big Stone Gap.
THE statement that he had differ
ences with me over business matters
and had given up his position is
equally absurd. There was positively
no motive whatsoever for him to take
his life"
