CAR OF SLAVES TURNED
OVER ON MEN.

c. & o. Conductor Ben Baker and
Brakeman JEFF Ball, both OF Ashland,
are in a Huntington hospital, suffer-
ing from severe bruises which they
received Saturday evening about four
O'Clock, when car loaded with slaves,
on which they had been riding was
overturned near the Edgewater Bot
tom, not far from Heller. The engine
was drawing a single carr when going
up the branch. The car turned over on
the men, who had jumped when round
ing a curve. All that kept the men
from being instantly killed was the
fact that a ditch into which they fell
had been cleaned out the day before.
Baker was unconscious when aid
reached him.
Dade Ratliff, brakeman, who was on
the car with Baker and Ball, jumped
to the other side and escaped injuries.
The injured men suffered no broken
bones, but both were very badly bruis-
ed about the body.
Conductor Baker has been in several
accidents before but has escaped with
out loss OF limb.

miners in Southern West Virginia to-
day celebrated Mitchell Day in regu-
lar holiday fashion. There were mass
meetings at several mining centers in
which organizers made speeches and
in the Cabin creek region there was
talk of strike, but it is impossible to
determine whether the men will report
for duty Monday morning. The opera
tors say they have little fear of strike
but the organizers for the United Mine
Workers declare that they have reason
to believe that the miners in this re-

three years as members of the West
