HERRIN COUNCIL TAKES
NO ACTION ON MASSACRE

ii HERRlN, ILL.,, June 27-TWelve
wounded men, survivors of the As
non union workers and guards
captured at the Lester Mine by a
mob last Thursday, are in danger
of their lives if they leave the Her.
rim hospital, according to reports
reaching state and federal inves-
tigators.
Dead men tell no tales and
some of those wounded men know
too much for the safety of mem
bers of the mob, one Herrin bus
mess man commented. Anger
ed because their town has been
blamed for the autrocities, resi-
dents say other mining towns
should bear part of the respon-
sibility. Sheriff Thaxton said he
had been unable to get any infor-
nation as to the identity of any
member of the mob.
The Herrin city council met last
night but no mention of the mine
riot last Thursday was made. The
aldermen passed an ordinance pro-
hibiting crap shooting, repealed
an ordinance taxing bootleggers
and blind tiger proprietors $500 a
year, transacted some other rou-
tine business and adjourned.

GRAND JURY
MET TUESDAY
AFTERNOON
Regular Jury Business of
the June Term About
Completed

The special grand jury, sum
moned to consider important mat
ters, met Tuesday afternoon at
2 o'clock and received instruction
as to their duties from Judge
Moulton.
The regular calendar of the
June term of county court was
considerably shortened Tuesday
when several cases were disposed
Of that were supposed to be ready
to be tried by jury.
The Lyndonvillc cases of Flor
ence f. Stanley and Elizabeth V.
Rennie against John J. Stafford
have been entered as discontinued.
The Groton case of Sewell Page
against Ernest Clark, and the case
of Mount Ida school, Inc, against
Daniel T. Gilman and others,
which we're set for trial Wcdnes-
day, have been continued.
The only other case remaining
on the printed docket with a pos
sibility for jury hearing is the
Wheelock bastardy case of Lila
c. Miles against Fri F. Leavitt,
which was heard early in the term
and in which the jury disagreed.
A petition WAS heard Tuesday
morning for a new trial.
The court cases, divorce peti-
tions and cases on the chancery
docket are yet to be heard The
docket of state cases is short
one, but it is quite probable that
the grand jury now in session may
add something to this list.
