Philadelphia, Dec. 26.-President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers union has communicated
with the presidents of the anthracite
coal producing companies in regard to
the demands the miners will make for
the continuance Of work in the hard
coal fields. 1t is understood the latter
is in regard to holding a conference
between the committee representing
the mine workers and the operators.
AS to what the operators will do, 1t
has not been definitely decided upon.
Besides asking for an eight-hour day,
there are also to be presented other
demands. The most important, and
n that, if adopted, will mean the
complete recognition of the union, is
the request that an entire new concili-
alton board be formed.

MOB NEARLY KILLS WIFEsEATER
Ridden on Rail, dubbed, Kicked and
Left to Die Alone.

~Plainview, Neb., Dec. 23.-Because
he did not leave town as ordered by
the court, Henry Hack of Cole Ridge,
convicted Of beating his wife, was the
victim Of mob violence. With his
nose broken, all the clothes tori from
his person, a jaw fractured, hair torn
from the scalp, both eyes swollen
shut, his body bruised, his lungs full
of water, he was left to die by a lone.
ly road.
Hours later a sympathetic farmer
found him, unconscious and ready to
expire. He brought the unfortunate
to town and sought medical aid. 1t
Is thought Hack cannot live. He
had gone through an awful ordeal.
The angry crowd placed him astride
a small rail and carried him about
the street. He was thrown into sew
eral watering tanks and nearly drown
ed. For four miles he was driven like
a beast, was kicked and pounded with
fists and clubs. When they were sure
he had been tortured sufficiently so
that he would never be able to beat
mis- wife again, the tormentors aban.
Toned their prey.

In each of the Nebraska land dis
tricts the special agents have uncov-
cred many fraudulent entries which
will be presented to the special grand
Jury as soon os 1t Is summoned. The
indictments Of ex-United States Com

soldiers from Fort Robertson, about
thirty of them, had been paid s. each
to make fraudulent homestead entries.
Servant girls yer also paid to take
up ~homesteads and then relinquish
their rights to the ranchmen for a
small consideration.
