Mine Operators Determined
To Fight Striking Miners

New York, Dec. 8.-Coal opera
tors in Alabama and Mingo county,
West Virginia, are determined to
fight the striking miners in those
regions ito a finish,' said a state
ment by George Dexter, director of
the New York Wholesale Coal
Trade association, made public gy
the association.
Mr.. Dexter, who owns four mines,
and who has just returned from the
strike districts, said:
LESS than 10 per cent OF the
miners have joined the union and by
their morderous tactics they are at
tempting to force the other 90 per
cent to join their organization. Most
of the fighting is being done from
ambush in traditional feudal fash

Wife of Oil
Man Is Held
For Murder
Alliance Woman Is Charged
With Killing Former Omaha
Barber During Early Morn
ing Quarrel.
Others May Be Involved

Alliance, Neb, Dec. 8.-(Special
Telegram)-Despite the fact that she
is charged with first degree murder
and under constant guard at the city
Jail, and that at least two witnesses
have declared they saw her shoot
and kill Earl B. Anderson, Is, local
barber, in the alley at the rear of a
pool hall during the early morning
hours, Mrs. Evelyn Priess McEi-
haney, Is and pretty, maintains an
air OF unconcern, laughs and jokes
with the guard and newspaper men
and spends most of her time lying
on cot in the dingy cell room
Her cot is drawn up in front of the
door of the cell room and the door
stands wide open all day, with a
guard sitting just outside.
She refuses to discuss the case and
refers all inquiries to her attorneys.
She would neither affirm nor deny
the report that she had said that "a
lot of business men of this town had
better watch their step if they send
me over the road" This remark is
alleged to have been made by her
to friends shortly after the shooting.
A prominent business man is said to
have been in company of the woman
at the time of the shooting. She
is proprietress of the Wilson roonl-
ing house, which has had an un-
savory reputation. .....
Relatives Not Located.
An autopsy was performed upon
the body of Anderson but the bullet
was not located. County Attorney
Bassic says no inquest is necessary
and the funeral is scheduled to be
held Thursday.
Local authorities have been unable
to locate any of Anderson's relatives.
He is known to have come here from
Lincoln several months ago. He
worked for a short time as barber
in local shops but had not been en-
ployed recently. Among his effects
found in his trunk were papers show
ing that he was in army service with
Company Eight, second battalion,
l63d depot brigade and was dis.
charged at Camp Dodge on February
Is, 1925. A letter several months
old was found from Harry F. Slack,
Rural rote No. l, Deep River, Ia.
He was drafted in Omaha by the
board Of which w. G.. Ure was
chairman. His Omaha address was
1911 Harney street. A letterhead
was also found of the Satin Ice
Cream company, 1923 North Eight,
eenth street, Omaha, with the names
of Anderson and Michael, 2552 Cunl-
ing street.
Some criticism has been made
against local authorities for their al
legged failure to take proper steps to
locate Anderson's relatives and to
announce the funeral before making
further efforts to find them.
"Plug" Him Again.
One man who was in the pool hall
where Anderson was carried after
the shooting declared he heard Mrs.

New Process Removes
Superfluous Hair Roots!

Women troubled with unsightIy hairy
srowths will be delighted to hear that
they can now actually remove the hair en-
tire-roots and alI-easily, quickly, harm
lessly. 1t is done without the use of
liquid. powder, paste, or electric needle.
The new phelactine process is not to be
compared at all with any other method.
Nothing like it ever discovered. 1t causes
the hair roots to come out before your
very eyes, leaving the skin smooth and
hairless as babes. Its action is so posi-
tive, so certain. druggists generally report
phenomenal sales for phelactine. 1t is nom
odorous, non-irritating, nom poisonous-a
child could safely eat it. Get small stick
of phelactine today, follow the simple in
structions and you will be wonderfully
surprised.
