New York, April 12 "A meet

was held here today to take defn-
lite action on the question of
wages. Unless the miners de-
eide soon to renew the agree
ment of three years the chances
are that the operators will take
the bit in mouth and reduce
wages 10 per cent. If the qnes-
tion of recognition of the union
is dropped the operators are

upon making fight on that
point the anthracite roads will
first reduce wages and then fight

DIFFICULTY ENDS
IN TRAGIC DEATH
Quarrel and Assault Ends in
Shooting, and innocent
Man Victim.
CLAIMED THAT JONES USED
WEAPON IN SELF.DEFENSE.

An unfortunate occurrence
which has stirred Darlington
with sorrow and regret as moth
ing has done for many day,
happened last Saturday. A diff
ficulty arose ont of an argument
between John Wilson and Hen
~ g. Jones. Witnesses say that
Wilson assaulted and was beat
ing Jones and that Jones was
demonstrating with him. Jones
claims that his life was in dan
ger and that he had to shoot in
self defense. Both men were
armed. Jones was deputy
marshal. Wilson had been a
special officer on night duty,
from which he was relieved some
weeks ago, but he had at one
time been sworn in as deputy,
and still retained his badge.
Five shots were fred. One
struck Pete Miles in the abdo-
men, and caused his death early
Monday morning. One struck
Wilson In the left wrist.
Both men surrendered to Mar
shall Bradley and Deputy Mitch
ell at once. Wilson's wound was
dressed at the st. Bernard hospi-
tai before Pete Miles was taken
to the operating room. Wilson
has spent the time since in his
room.
Jones was arrested on a war
rant sworn out before city Judge
Newton, who fixed his bond at
$500, returnable before the coun-
| tn Judge. The bond was made
at once end he was released.
After the death of Miles another
warrant was issued, upon affida-
Wit of Mr.. Anderson, father of
Mrs. Miles, charging involuntary
manslaughter. In the absence
of County Judge Wilson, the
nearest magistrate, Esquire ia
goe, instructed that he be held
under the original bond. An
examining trial will be held at
jacksonville today.
Mr.. Miles, who lost his life,
had nothing to'do with the diff.
Guilty, and was fifty feet away
when he received the shot, but
he was attracted by the commo.
tion in Stones stable, where the
fight took place, aud was going
toward the stable entrance Il
see what was the trouble. The
direction of the shots was out OF
the front stable door aud across
Main street. The wounded man,
while he lay In the hospital, sent
for Jones to talk with him, but
was asleep when he arrived.
Mrs. Miles, however, talked
with Jones and told HIM Pete
did not hold any ill will against
him, but considered his fatal
wound wholly accidental, and
she herself had joined her hus-
band in that view and the same
spirit of forgiveness.
Mr.. Miles stood the long OPP
Grafton well, in spite of numer-
GUS perforations of the intes-
tines and great loss of blood, and
some slight hope was entertain
ed that his strong constitution
might see him nthrough. Drs.
Nlsbet, Sisk and Johnson were
in attendance, and the evening
train brought DIR. Jackson, of
Hopkinsyille, who had been their
physician there. The same train

DEATH BRAVELY
Darlington and Vicinity Deeply
Moved by the Tragedy and
Pathos Of His End.
BEREAveD WIFE THE RECIPIENT
or MOST ABUNDANT SYMPATHY.

Though he met Death bravely,
and was ready, his was the deep
tragedy of sudden and untimely
end to a life full of hope and
happiness. Though she bore her
sorrow with patience and Chris
tian fortitude, her loss was as
great, her sorrow as pathetic as
woman has been called to bear.
The death of Pete Miles was a
great shock to Eaflington. His
widows heavy burden has been
shared by the entire community.
All have offered their tributes of
sympathy and their prayers with
hers that she and her little one
might be sustained and comfort
ed. There is perhaps no one,
other than the bereaved wife,
who has felt the death more
keenly than Henry Jones who
fred the shot.
Pete Miles was wounded by a
pistol ball, not meant for him,
Saturday afternoon about 3 80
O'Clock. He died in st. Bernard
Hospital Monday morning,
April II, 1909, about 4 O'Clock,
after every effort had been made
to save his life by a corps of
skillful surgeons and trained
nurses. The only hope for his
recovery was based on his splen-
did physical condition and the
fact that he had lived always a
clean and wholesome life. But
this did not avail. Mrs. Miller
was constantly at the side of hes
stricken husband almost from
| the time he was wounded until
he passed over. Aud she was
attended by faithful friends and
relatives constantly. Pete's
friends and neighbOrs all say he
had lived honestly aud we'll and
that he was a model husband OF
the cheeriest and most kindly dis
position, his friends were only
limited by his circle of aoqualnt-
ance. SO it seemed bat natural
that he should have made peace
with his Maker in the hours that
were spared HIN after the sad,
sad accident. BY has own spec
Ial request he was baptized into
the M. X. Church, South, little
after Sunday midnight.
Funeral services We're conduct

noon at $3.50 o'clock, by Rev.
Brandon, of the N. k. Church,
