NINE OFFICIALS ARE
SHOT FROM AMBUSH

Hiddlesboro, KY, Sept. 3.-At the
Lower Hignite Coal Company, five
miles from Middlesboro, while l.. B.
Gum, superintendent, and six men
were going to the mine they were
fired on this morning by what is
supposed to have been strike sympa-
thizers from ambush. Three men
were hit. Gillus Johnson was SER
iously wounded and Gum and an
other man slightly wounded. Over
200 shots were fired.
Shotguns loaded with small shot
and some high-powsred guns were
used.
An effort is being made to sur
round the men doing the shooting,
and it is likely arrests will be made.
Bell county officers have been noti-
fed and are on their way to the mine
and will make every possible effort
to get the men implicated.
There is much Indignation coming
from all sources in Middlesboro over
the shooting, and some very frank
and open expressions are being made
on the streets of Middlesboro. More
trouble is anticipated before the day
is over.

soldiers. But the Marines, company
