DEPUTY KIDNAPPED NEAR LEW|SbURG Clayton Taken to Woods and
 Disarmed NEGRO CORPSE IS FOUND No One Gan Identify Body Picked Up In Woods Near CoaIburg-Spr-
 ited Shooting at
 Arcadia.
NEGRO CORPSE IS FOUND

A deputy sheriff Kidnapped and the finding of the body of a dead negro in the woods was the record of violence in the strike district yesterday. As the result of the Kidnapping three arrests have been made, one man arrested it is said, having confessed to taking part in it.
 The kidnapped man was F. T. Clay ton and the scene of the crime on the road between Lewisburg and Sayreton. Clayton Is the father of William Clay ton, the young non-union miner who was shot from ambush on this road early Monday morning while on his way to work. He was formerly a union miner, but since the strike began has been acting In the capacity of special deputy sheriff. He also has another son who is a deputy sheriff.
 His Kidnapping experience began sh ortly after o'clock yesterday aft ernoon while he was walking from the Lewisburg mines to his home in Sayre- ton. He was but short distance from Hudgins' store, which Is about mid way between the two places. when ho was attacked by three armed men, his gun taken away from him, and then compelled to walk for half a mile into the woods

STREET TELLS OF HOW
 HE CAUGHT THAT PELLET

Catcher Charles Street of the Washing ton club. the man who caught a baseball dropped from the top of the Washington monument takes the honors he has won in easy style and does not attach much importance to the act.
 He says:
 The ball did not seem to hit the glove any harder than some of those fast ones Walter Johnson serves up. There was a slight wind at the start and in the first few trials it made the drop of the ball rather uncertain, and for that reason l could not get it.
 ..When we went round to the north side l found it easy. and when l succeeded in getting under the ball. which looked about as big as a chestnut, but felt as heavy as a ton of coal, I froze to it.
 1 understand that no one ever before accomplished the trick, and, of course, l am glad that 1 had the chance.
 No, I do not believe that l would like to do il again tomorrow morning.
 "Cantillon did not know that I was going to do 1t, but he was on the job with congratulations when l turned up at the club house before the game"
 A number of men have tried to accom- plish the feat and all of them but Street failed. Among those who made the at- tempt are Charlie Bennett of the old De- troit club Schriver, once of the Chicago White Sox when Anson was manager; Paul Hines, Charley Snyder. Bill Ever ett, Kittridge and others.

MEDICAL SOCIETY MEETS

Ensley, August 25-(Special)-The re- port that there was possibility of the strike being brought to a close was re- ceived by the citizens of Ensley and vi- einity with much satisfaction While the plants at this point have been in full op- eration the proximity of the mines 10 Ensley and the fact that the steel mill and furnaces were dependent on the mines to a large extent was sufficient to cause uneasy feeling and to depress busi- ness.
 While nothing has been given out of- ficially the feeling exists not only among the business men, but among the miners themselves. that steps are being taken that will bring about settlement of the conditions that prevail.

captors calmly advised him that th ey were going to kill him unless he told the exact location of every guard and deputy sheriff in that part of the country. Some argument followed this announcement and after some time Clayton made a dash for liberty. He had been a captive for about three hours when this occurred.
 When his captors saw their prey dis appearing through the woods they gave chase but it was of no avail, as Clay ton was running as he had never run before in all his life. It was about S:30 o'clock when he dashed into the deputies camp presided over by Deputy Sheriff Will McCarty, near Hudgins' store
 Clayton was breathless and it was several minutes before he could talk. When he finally told of his capture the deputies immediately started in search of the three men. Clayton recognized his captors and told the deputies who they were and where they could be found. As result a striking miner named Jeff Davis was placed under ar rest by the deputies and Is said to have confessed to taking part in the Kidnapping. The deputies arrested T. A. Hicks and D. A. Walick last night.
 Affairs appeared very restless around Lewisburg last night. There were ugly rumors afioat and many people were moving about. number of parties are said to have attempted to pass the lines surrounding the camps in this section.
 Reports were also received last night as to the finding of the body of a dead negro in the woods about a mile from Coalburg. The discovery was made after nightfall and created something of a sen- sation around Coalburg. One bullet had pierced the negros heart.
 Some shooting Is said to have taken place in this neighborhood Monday night but the nature of 1t could not be learned. The finding of the corpse last night, however, gives some explanation. Wheth- CT the negro was a non-union miner or who he was could not be found out last night.
