TERRIFIC BATTLE
BETWEEN MINERS
Clash Occurs Near Fort Smith,
Ark.
ONLY 4 PERSONS ARE HURT
Dynamite and Torch Used by Attack
Ing Party and Property Valued at
S25oooo 10 Destroyed-Flght
Lasts Six Hours.

Fort Smith, Ark, July 2O.-unlon
miners and sympathizers numbering
several hundred destroyed nearly ev'
erything at the three mines OF Nam
moth Vein Coal company, at Prairie
Creek, 25 miles east OF here, ana en-
gagged a force of non-union employees
In a battle that waged from six o'clock
until noon Friday. Dynamite and hre
were used to destroy the structures.
The loss is estimated at S25O,OOO.
The most remarkable incident In
connection with the clash, the result
OF strike of union employees, is that
no one was killed, and that only four
persons we're injured. The battle
came to an end when the employees ex-
hausted their supply of ammunition
The unionists claim their forces num-
bered between two and four hundred,
while the non.unionists allege they
were attacked by fully 1900 men,
While the latter say that they had but
from sixty to one hundred men, the
union forces declared they numbered
200.
The first attack was made on mine
No. /, where a tipple and smaller
buildings were burned. Then an at
tack was made on mine No. 3, where
tipple and company houses were set
afire and the machinery and mouth OF
the mine shaft dynamited.
The attacking force next moved to
mine No. 4, the only plant that was
guarded and operating. The employees
were lodged behind a barricade, while
the attacking force took refuge in the
timbers and rocks on the edge OF
ridges in nearby hills. The long-dis-
lance at which the fight was waged
prevented any fatalities.
During the battle the fan house and
bunk houses, which are a quarter Of a
mile from the plant, were set on fire.
When the employees took flight after
their ammunition became exhausted,
the attacking force set fire to l6 coal
cars, the tipple and smaller buildings.
The trouble is the result OF the eli
max to strike called In progress at
mine 4 since last April when the com
pany substituted union miners for the
open shop policy.
Prior TO the opening OF hostilities,
all telephone wires IN the strike dis
trict were cut, and the women and
children in the danger zone were re-
moved to safety.
According to well founded reports,
the trouble came az a sort OF reprisal
for the alleged shooting up of Frog
town. union mine camp near mine No.
4. ....

WANT TO HAVE A GALA WEEK
Fine Idea of Charlie Hunter to En-
terrain Marion County
Farmers

Mr.. c. W. Hunter, manager Of the
ball team, impaired 10 the Star to-
day his idea regarding the third
week in August, when the CIearwa-
ter team will be here.
Mr.. Hunter desires to have the
baseball team come in and help on
the plan Of the Board OF Trade to
have all the farmers in town to a
barbecue. He desires to back up
the plan with the baseball boys,
who ever faithfully follow his lead.
He wants to have the barbecue on
the Thursday Of that week and all
the farmers in the county in town
on that day He also desires to
have a double-header ball game. In
the morning it is the plan TO have
picked team from the north end
meet picked team from the south
end, and it is needless to say that
will be fine sport with local interest.
In the afternoon, after the barbecue,
Ocala and Clearwater will line up
for game.
There will also be other games,
races and such contests, if arrange
ments can be made.
1t is fine idea, and the Star rec
ommends the business men to back
Mr.. Hunter up in it.
