A dispatch from Owipgsville, KY,
dated Thursday last, states that at
Yale, twelve miles west of that place,
Harry Cole shot and killed Uric
Sloane Hart, a son of Byron Hart,
formerly of the Danville Neighbor-
hood. Cole was accused of being
friendly with Hart's wife, and the wife
hearing of 1t, told her husband, who
met Cole and attacked him. The
lumber company for which they we're
working investigated the matter and
dismissed Hart. Meeting Cole, Hart
renewed the trouble and attacked
Cole with a chair. Cole drew a revol.
yer and shot Hart twice, one bullet
lodging close to the heart and killing
him instantly. Cole was arrested.
Cole is ~ years old and single. Hart
was % years of age.
Hart was at one time fireman on the
o. r. & G. and was in Kentucky to
take a position with a road in that
section. Upon receipt of telegram
the undertaking firm of Maddox &
rrapp, Ripley, where both parties had
recently lived, went to the scene Of
murder and took the body of Hart to
the home of his mother in that place.

wilful murder of Miss Florence W. Al

of not guilty was entered in Johnson 8
behalf, and the trial will take place

"How say you, Rufus; are you guilty
or not guilty?" asked Justice Hen

and looked the justice squarely In the
face as he gave his abrupt reply;
Guilty; I murdered the woman"
"The court recognizes only the plea
of mot guilty in this case" said JUS
tice Hendrickson to the prisoner. "You
are not permitted to plead guilty"
While the colored man stood with
head lowered and with his shifting
ewes taking in apprehensively the
crowd on either side, the court then
fixed next Thursday as the date for
his trial and appointed Jacob Hen

defend him. This was the closing scene
Of the proceedings which started the

$4,000 MINERS
MAY STRIKE
Conference With Operators AdjOurDS
without Reaching Agreement
MEN DEMAND WAGE INCREASE

Indianapolis, Feb. 3.-With prospects
pointing to a strike Of $4,000 coal
miners unless the present deadlock Is
broken by some Unforeseen influence,
Ahe national convention of the United
Mine Workers of America adjourned
after the dissolution without reaching
A settlement of a wage scale Of the
Joint conference Of operators and min
ers Of the central and southwestern
districts. President John Mitchell, Of
the miners union, advised the dele
gates to 20 home and look to the Sc
curing of a defense fund in view OF
possible Industrial strife between min
ers and operators, the miners having
refused to renew the present wage scale
and the operators having refused to
grant an increase in wages.
The apparent determination Of both
operators and miners indicates that
neither will make overtures to the
other for further negotiations, and as
indicated by the speeches of both the
radicals and the conservatives Of both
organizations at the joint conference,
It is probable that the $4,000 men con-
trolled by the United Mine Workers
will walk out of the mines in every
part Of the United States on April l.
During an interview, President John
Mitchell said:
at is true that never in the history
Of this country has a strike of such
far-reaching effect been threatened. 1t
means a national suspension of mining
If the strike comes on at the expiration
Of our mining contracts, March 81, and
It includes the anthracite districts. I
do not know whether this action will
have any effect on the meeting of the
anthracite miners and operators on
February is, but it is the plan now to
meet the anthracite operators at that
time"
According to figures given out by the
national officers of the miners organ
ization, they expect the strike, If there
be one, to bring out about 100000 nom
union miners in West Virginia and
Pennsylvania, with the 100000 union
miners. OF the 45O, 900 union men that
WOulu De dH6Cteu, 4OV'VVV "OuAu HS Sue
IN the anthracite regions.
President Mitchell estimates that four
persons are dependent on each miner,
and national strike, such as is isplanned,
would affect nearly 100000 persons
dependent on mining for bread.
With assessments from now to April
/, the miners, with nearly SS,0O0,OO0 on
hand, could be in possession of some
thing like s6,OOO,OOO by April 1.
