STRIKE AT LETTERS MINE
Trainmen and Pumpmen Walk Out
Claim Made That Negroes
are Coming.

Carbondale, ILL.,, July 26.-Monday has
been one of intense activity for both bel
ligerent forces at Ziegler. The train
men employed on Letters railroad
walked out Sunday night, refusing to
handle the provisions for his camp. The
action of the engineer and trainmen
came after a request from the miners
that they cease work. The engineer at
the shaft, the pump men, and nearly all
the skilled labor employed within the
stockade refused to remain inside, and
have left. The ice plant and all other
industries in the town have closed.
The miners claim to have absolute
information that Alabama negroes have
been on the way to Ziegler "a hours,
but the Illinois Central railroad Off
Gals in this city are equally as positive
that no colored men are on their line
or as yet consigned to them. If SO, Mr..
Letter will attempt to unload his ne
groes from the st. Louis Valley line,
near two miles from his town, and
will require them to pass through a
section fitted for bushwhacking and,
besides, walk two miles.
A perfect military system has been
installed in Ziegler. The guard line,
manned by Pinkertons, has been drawn
in about one-fourth mile, and the in
ner line is nearly composed of Franklin
county deputy sheriffs under command
of Sheriff Stein. Every guard is armed
with a Winchester repeating rifle, and
a modern Colts revolver.
Much activity is noted on the part
of the miners. At every large city, as
far south as Memphis, men have been
sent to watch all trains and inform
headquarters of the movements of
workmen. They have by this system
succeeded in turning back nearly 200,
and late Monday secured a contingent
who ostensibly were going to work on
Letters railroad. No serious trouble
is expected until the arrival Of nom
union men, which Is expected at any
moment.

FLAMES DESTROY ELEVATOR
Fire Due to Spontaneous
Combustion.

East st. Louis, ILL.,, July 25.-Fire
broke out on the top floor of the Co
lumbia elevator, situated near the
Wiggings Ferry Co. railroad in East st.
Louis, early Sunday morning, COM
pletely destroying the building and
about 1000 bushels of wheat. 1t is
believed that the fire was due to spon-
taneous combustion in the wheat on
the top floor, which had not, according
to reports, been properly handled.
The East Side fire department re-
sponded to the alarm, which was turned
in as soon as the flames were seen is
suing from the building, but it could
do little more than prevent the fire
from extending to freight cars standing
in the Virgins ferry yards, also to the
cold storage company, situated only a
short distance away.
The elevator was a th%ree-story frame
structure, about 50x50 feet, owned by
the Columbia Elevator Co. 1t was
valued at $4,000, but the loss is par
TALLY covered by insurance. The
wheat was valued at about $4,000.

. SHOOTING At DOMESTEEl
I've Special Policemen Shot by
Members of a Gang Of Thugs.
A Vigilance Committee Formed aud
Objectionable Characters BE-
ing Rounded Up.

Bonesteel, S. D., July 24.-Af.er an
extremely quiet day and night a serious
shooting affray took place about four
o'clock Saturday morning. Sylvester G.
Harrison, of Wichita, and a man
named Scarborough, whose address can
not be learned-two special policemen
were shot by a gang Of thugs in
front of a saloon. Harrison was shot
in the forehead, and at first it was
thought his wound would prove fatal,
but later it was said he was resting
easily, and 1t is now hoped he will re-
cover. Stanbrough's wound was in the
leg, and will not result seriously. Har-
rison, who is about "a years of age,
arrived here Friday night, with a
friend, who claims that the young man
is in good financial circumstances. Be-
ing a lover of excitement, he at once
joined the police force, and had been
on duty but a short time when he was
shot. The men who did the shooting
ran around back Of the saloon and
madeetheir escape in the darkness, and
have slbt yet been apprehended. A Wig
lance committee was at ice formed
and began rounding up the objection
able characters of the town. The sta
ton house is full and arrests are being
made every few minutes. 1t is report
ed that a pitched battle occurred at a
sod house a mile east Of the town, In
which a dozen or more shots were ex-
changed, but the details are not yet
obtainable. Information of a definite
character is hard to secure, all sorts
of rumors, however, are current. The
saloon where the shooting occurred
was the scene of another ARRAY a night
or so ago, and it has been closed by
tho authorities

An emergency call was sounded, and
the arrival of patrol wagons and am
balances, coupled with the fact that
the street was at that hour being ira.
yersed by hundreds of people who were
on their way home from work, causing
a panic, which made it almost impos-
sible to learn the number of dead or
ascertain the extent of the injuries to
many of the passengers who were rush
ing about, seeking relatives or friends
among their fellow passengers.
The cause of the accident is not
clear. Conflicting stories are told by
passengers and witnesses, several OF
whom say that the motorman applied
the air brake, which failed to respond.
Others claim that the conductor of the
electric failed to proceed ahead of the
car for the purpose of seeing that the
track was clear.
