Killed By Electric Wire in Mine.

Rufus Shanks, an inside loader at
the Powderly mine of the Greenville
Coal Co., was instantly killed about
30 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon
by coming in contact with 4 live
feeder wire. He had come out of
his room 10 the main driveway for
the purpose of giving light TO one
of the drivers, and in some way was
connected with the electrically
charged wire. The body was car
ried To the old home near Earles
and interment was made at Antioch

was well-known young man, and
had many friends. His wife and
four children survive him, and they
have the sympathy and assistance of
all.

CoIOred Girl Slot at Central City.

Mandy Ewes, yjung colored
woman who lives here, was shot and
dangerously wounded at Central City
about 4 O'Clock Monday afternoon.
The shooting was done by ne
gro man called SMILEY" who lives
in Louisville, and who had been in
Central City but few days. There
was quite a gathering at a dance
hall, and :hat is where the shooting
took place. Ii is said that the deed
was a cold blooded one, as the man
shot because his invitation to dance
was not responded to as quickly by
the girl as he thought it should have
been. "Smiley" made his escape,
but was captured Tuesday in Louis
vile on description furnished by the
Central City policemen. He was
brought here yesterday afternoon
and lodged in Jail, awaiting an ex
amining trial, which will be held at
once, it is supposed. The wounded
girl was brought here Tuesday after
noon, and is at the home of her
mother. 1t is doubted if she will
survive her injuries, as she is in a
critical condition.

Faith Healer Is Arrested for Drunk

enneSS.

Add Parker, who is we'll known
through this section as a healer by
the laying on of hands, was arrested
here Monday for drunkenness, but
at two trials held Tuesday 1t was i'm
possible to get either jury to agree,
and the case was dismissed. Parker
is quite a character. When arrested
he had portion of quart of whisky
in his pocket, and when asked what
use he had for such an item, declared
that he bought it for a sick woman.
Why he needed such help in the
performance of his miraculous cures
he failed to state; and he did not
give satisfactory explanation as to
why he had appropriated a part of
the contents of the healing water.
The trial attracted large number of
people, and the evidence, testimony
and arguments of the attorneys pro-
duced some diverting situations.

COIOred Brakeman Killed Near Id
Zerae.

Geo. King, colored, for several
years a freight brakeman on the local
train between Central City and
Paducah, was killed by falling from
limited train No. Io,, near Luzerne
last Thursday afternoon. 1t is said
that King was drinking, and that his
conductor had put him off the run
when the local reached Princeton,
giving him a pass back to Central
City on the passenger train. 1t is
supposed that King fell from the
train, though no one saw him, and
the train was not stopped. About
three O'Clock some one walking
along the railroad found the body.
Itis supposed that death was in
stantaneous, as the head was crush
ed, and an arm and leg broken, in
addition to internal injuries. The
body was carried to Central City on
the evening passenger train, and in
terment was made there.
