The strike in Alabama is still
on, with no sign of immediate
settlement. The threat of the
State to call out troops to quell
any disturbance that might arise
has had quieting effect on the

Claude Borders, formerly fore
man, of Hecla mines and now of
Ziegler, Illinois, is back here
with his family on visit, and
reports good times over there for
the miners. The output of that
mine, under the management of
Manager Gordon, has shown a
steady increase, and at this time
they are able to load about SIXTY,
fifty ton capacity cars daily. He
says the coal is hoisted at the
rate of about eight tons per
minute.
The Railroad companies whose
lines enter Chicago are de-
termined if possible to DO away
with the smoke by requiring
more economy in the use of coal,

be avoided, because not nee

NEW INVENTION.
Threatens To Do Away With The
Typewriter Girl

Cleveland July PA type
writer that runs with electricity
has been invented by Fred f.
Main, of this city. The device,
it is declared, will operate an or
binary typewriter just as swiftly
as, and more accurately, than
the human hands. 1t is operat-
by means of perforated slips
something similar to those used
in a piano player. While the
invention will be hailed with
pleasure by business men, the
wives of the same men will be
more than delighted with the in
vention.
"Of course my invention sort
of puts the pretty typewriter
girl in the background" said
Mr.. Main, "but the machine is
accuracy itself. / have fifteen
of them in operation in my
work SHOP and expect TO put
them on the market sOOn."

A painful accident occurred at
the Hecla mine one day last
week, when Theodore Newhold

Foreman ThOs. Blair, of Hecla

AN ATTEMPT
TO ASSASSINATE
Young Goodwin, Who Testified
That Seven Men We're
Night Riders.
GOODWIN STILL ALIVE
AND NAY RECOVER.

Cadiz, KY, July N.-An at
tempt was made Sunday night
to assassinate, near bis home,
Walter Goodwin, the young man
who betrayed alleged night rider
secrets before the last grand jury
of Tngg county.
he was fired on from ambush
by a number of men and seri-
ously wounded.
Goodwin is still alive and may
recover
AT the May term of the Trigg
circnit court, Goodwin who is
about % years of age and I'M
married, appeared before the
grand jury, and, it is reported,
made statement, duplicating
seven other men, who, like
Goodwin, worked for the Center
Furnace company. He accused
these men Of forming a might
Rider" squad for the purpose of
running negroes out of the Cen.
ter Furnace community.
After considering his evidence,
the grand jury declined to re-
turn "true bills" against the
seven men, but recommended
that they be held under bond to
the next grand jury, which was
done.
1t is stated that one of the
men named by the witness as a
Night Rider was deputy sheriff
IF this county.
Goodwin was guarded by sold
iers for several weeks after he
had given in his testimony, and
when the troops returned from
Trigg county TO Hopkinsville he
accompanied them, because of
his fear that he would be vio-
lently dealt with if he remained
unprotected at home.
Later on he returned to Center
Furnace. Last night Goodwin
went to the house of neighbor
TO pay a call.
As he was walking home,
about nine O'Clock, seven shots
were fired at him by unknown
parties, concealed by the side of
the road.
All of the bullets whistled1
close to his, head and body,
and one of them entered his jaw
and ragged upward. He fell in
the road, and the wouldbe assas-
sins, evidently believing him to
be dead, fed in the night.
Neighbors, who heard the
shots, found Goodwin lying
where he had fallen and carried
him to his home.
A physician was summoned
and everything possible for his
relief was administered. This
morning the doctors removed the
bullet, which entered GOodwin's
head. IL was extracted from be-
hind his ear. The wound is
dangerous one, but the victim of

misunderstanding regarding the iden-

fact. has to do with the singular SINH
larity in the names and occupations Of
the two Sam Needles. so that when the
case referred to regarding the illegal mar
riage ceremony arose in court the brunt
of the accompanying unpleasantness fell
upon the innocent man, who has been a

man has. Samuel Needle. tailor, of -.

Guilty into which his namesake had been
plunged. but he paid no particular at
tention TO the matter until neighbOrs be-
gan to hail him with semi-sympathetic
smiles. and erstwhile friends grinned
knowingly as he passed. 1t Is sufficient
to say that the Samuel Needle who re-
sides at 429 18th street southwest is not
the man who was interested in the Police

ing her sisterin-law, Mrs. Murphy, at 432
New Jersey avenue, and was waiting for
a car when the incident happened.
Mrs. Xanten's left wrist was twisted and
slightly injured. The footpad obtained Sill.
The victim made a feeble cutlery, being
too, greatly surprised to call loudly for
assistance. When she fully realized what
had occurred she went to the police sta
ton, only about a square away, and told
of her experience.
Detective Hewlett obtained description
of the robber. The latter, she said, was a
young man. He wore dark clothes and a
cap. Later in the night several suspects
were arrested, but they were released as
soon as Mrs. Xanten said she could not
