Mine Guards Executed


 the Hartford Valley coal fields. Mine Guards Executed | The discovery of parts of two skulls ana human bones. raked from among the embers of the log cabin explains l it is believed, the failure of J. W. Syles- berry and John Baskins, mine guards, to report after Fridays battle at Prai- rie Creek and tends to confirm the statement sworn to by sam c. Thomas, a company employees, Who declared that he witnessed the execution of Syles- berry and Baskins. According to Thomas, he and six other men were taken prisoners after the six hour bat tie at Prairie Creek and escorted to a hut at head of a gulch on Sugar Loaf mountain. About 10 feet from a hut, Thomas declares, man opened fire, killing Sylesberry and Baskin, and at tempted to kill Thomas but other mem bers of the party interferred The five other captives were then set at liberty according to Thomas narrative, and it is presumed that the bodies were then placed in the cabin and the torch ap- piled. En route to Huntington. he de- clared, the party were fired upon but none was wounded.
 Conflicting reports last night of the bodies is explained by the fact that in their first survey of the ruins of the ca bin the posse, headed by Paul Little. prosecuting attorney and Lon Harris sheriff of Sebastian county. made no discoveries Later. however, when a mere careful examination of the ruins was made fragments Of the bodies were found The grewsome evidence was taken to Greenwood, the county scat, where the grand jury tomorrow will begin an investigation. At the request of MT. Little warrants We're is- sued late tonight for the arrest of a number of men. alleged to have par lticipated in the attack af the Prairie Creek mines when the tipp1e and other
 parts of the plant were dynamited and burned. The warrants charge murder. arson and rioting
 Seven charge murder.
 The mine attacked last night was known as the Dallas mine, several miles from Prairie Creek and as are the mines attacked last Friday. under lease to the Mammoth Vein Coal com pary The padhoase of the tipple was destroyed by railroad switching crew The blaze was extinguished before il gained headway.

KronprizeSSin is Heard From
But Does Not Give Her Loca-
tiOn-NOt Expected to Stop
at English Ports.

LONDON, Aug. 3.-The North Ger
man Lloyd liner Kronprizessin Cecilie
which left New York last Tuesday
carrying more than $1O,O0O,OO0 in
gold and a cargo valued at several
millions, sent a wireless message to
Malin head. the northwest point on
the Irish coast early Sunday morning
The vessel did not give her posi-
ton, probably because she sails I'M
der the German flag and would be a
valuable prize for hostile warships.
The KrOnprizessin Ceeilie is bound
call at Plymouth and Cherbourg
Shipping men here think she is en-
deavoring TO make Bremen direct via
the North sea. But the English fleet
is reported to be blocking the North
sea entrance.
The ten and one-half millions of
gold which was on board was di-
vided as follows:
Five million dollars from the Guar
anty Trust company TO their CORE
spOndent in London TO balance up in
ternational debit and credit.
Three million dollars from the Ma
tional City bank TO its correspondent
to Paris.
one million, six hundred thousand
dollars from Heidelbach Kitchener
and company 10 it's Paris correspond
ent.
One million dollars from Goldman
Sachs and company to its Paris cor
respondent.
1t is thought here that Capt. Chas
Polack of the KrOnprizessin received
orders from his government to bring
the gold directly to Bremen and turn
il over to the German government
without stopping at Southampton to
deliver the English share of it. The
English warships no doubt apprised
Of the orders set out to sea, ran the
KrOnprizessin down, surrounded her
and took her to Southampton or
Plymouth. Ii is thought that the cap
ture was made in the English chan
mel.
The Kronprizessin is one Of the
fastest ships afioat and is capable un-
der continued high speed of running
an average of "a knots. She left New
\ ork Tuesday morning with her Of
ficers, a little dubious about the voy-
age. Moved to action by the immense
value of the cargo and by the trOu-
bled state in which he knew all Eu-
rope to be, Capt. Polack took a route
for this trip which cut so miles off
his journey.
The ship carried $50 first-class pas
sengers. 131 secOnd-class. TAO steer
age and a crew of about 700 men.
Many of the first-class passengers
were prominent New Workers. When
the ship was launched in 1907 she
was estimated TO have cost close to
100000. She left Tuesday with a
3OO-ton cargo, much of which was
valuable merchandise. Ship author
tiles estimated the craft as a S15,-
100000 prize.

AIDING OTHERS ONE
WAY TO SALVATION

That earth holds no richer Oppor-
tunity for acquiring salvation and sue
cess than helpfulness was brought out
In the evening sermon by Rev. r. *.
Dougherty at the Grace NJ. r. church
Sunday
In developing his theme Rev. Dough-
erty took as an example the blessing
OF Abraham by the priest Melchise-
dech on his return from freeing his
nephew Lot, from the kings who had
made him a prisoner.
Abraham had perfOremd a noble
service and an act OF charity and as
! reward for his work, Melchisedech
vas sent by God to bless the old pro-
,phet and multiply his fruits upon the
'earth. That MelchisedeCh was instru-
ment OF God. is shown by the fact
that we hear nothing OF him after his
blessing Of Abraham and God often
makes himself manifest in mysterious
ways
The immediate prosperity of the
tribe Of Abraham is ample proof that
The blessing OF the priest given be-
cause OF Abraham's helpfulness was
sent by God, and we could also OBJ
ain these blessings If we would but
make an effort to be helpful to our
fellow man.
