Mgr. Lualdi, archbishop Of Palermo;
Mgr. Mercer, archbishop of Malines,

Editor Claims That Work Was Done BY
Agent Of Coal Company.

Sturgis, KY, June 17.-While
n. +. Gaines, editor of the Sturgis
News Democrat, was attending a
Republican convention at Morgan
field yesterday W. A. Chandler,
electrician for the West Kentucky
Coal Company, with force Of men,
entered the News Democrat office
under the pretext Of fixing some
wires apt tore out all the machinery
lately put in by the company, includ-
ing motor, pulleys, shafting, etc.
Mr.. Gaines knew nothing of the
dastardly work until he returned
from Morganfeld. From what can
be learned Bucher, the general
superintendent of the mines, author-
lied this act because Mr.. Gaines
had Joined the commercial club here
on Thursday night, which club was
reported to Butcher as having been
organized for the purpose of settling
the strike, which report was unbound
ed, as some Of the strongest nom
union men in the town were its pro-
moters.
Another reason attributed is that
Mr.. Gaines was a strong \. +. Will
son man and supporter Of j. D.
Harris for chairman against Jack
Young, who was the choice of the
West Kentucky Coal Company.
The people of Sturgis are indignant
at the unlawful actions of Bucher in

ocrat Office without warning and for
such reasons The damage to the

bic to issue a paper next week.
