Union men may remember the SER

county, KY. During the strike one of
the deputy Sheriffs was shot from am
bush. The United Mine Workers were
accused of the crime, but no actual
evidence was forthcoming Shortly
after the shooting two of the strikers
came to Indiana and found work.
Either through bribery or desire for
revenge, man who had previously
belonged to the organization. turned
estate evidence" swearing that he
was an eyewitness to the shooting.
The two strikers were tried, convict
ed and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Now comes this same fellow declaring
his conscience" compels him to admit
the truth that his confession" was
false in every particular. AS d result,
after enduring four years of prison life,
branded as murderers, the strikers
have been pardoned by the governor of
Kentucky. This is only one of half
dozen similar cases within the past
six months.

The employers imported few non
union men and succeeded in running
with about half the former number of
men. But the American Society of
Equity Immediately took up the mat

wagon companies have hurried to the
vicinity and are booking large orders
throughout the country. The COM

Myrtle Bank Hotel, mentioned in
the first dispatches as being utterly
ruined by the first terrible shock
which lasted thirty-six seconds, and
in which many people lost their lives,
was his home most of the time dur
ing his stay in Kingston. Mrs. Hoskin-
son, and her two youngest daughters,
spent two winters there. This hotel
has been pictured in the daily papers
during the past few days and shows
how beautifully it was situated, built
in a quadrangle with galleries around
the first and second floors as in most
southern buildings.
Here one could sit in the shade and
watch the ever changing waves and
color of the sea and sky. Mr.. Hoskin-
son spoke so often of this charming
view, and the beauty of the tropical
garden in the court yard and its great
tall palm trees, shrubs and flowers of
great variety and beauty.
