CHARLESTON, W. Vs., Fab. 15.
United Statea deputy marshal and
deputy sheriffs to the number of 160
thla morning a hot and killed aeven
union coal miners and mortally wound
ed mafiy othera In a pitched battle near
the Jtsnnock collieries.
Surprised and greatly outnumbered,
the miners fought desperately for a lew
momenta but he deadly and concen
trated Winchester lire of the attacking
offlcera forced the workmen to surren
der. The officers acted In behalf of the
Chesapeake Ohio Hail road, which last
July secured an njuncilon against the
miners.
Following the battle 126 miners were
placed under arrest and charged with
' rioting. -
Great excitement prevails among the
striking miners and further bloodshed
is expected. Troops have been ordered
to the scene but cannot. It Is thought,
reach the mines In time to prevent seri
ous trouble and further clashes between
the now thoroughly exasperated miners
and the officers of --e law.
A Blanket Injunction.
Armed with a blanket warrant.
Deputy United States Marshal Cunning
ham Saturday last went to the mines
and attempted to arrest a lot of strik
ers on the charge of Clsobeylng an In
junction from the United States" court.'
Since the Issuing of the Injunction
the miners have been endeavoring to
keep the strike going.
Cunningham was surrounded by a
mob of strikers and given five minutes
to leave the vicinity, lie left and noti
fied the sheriff, who formed a posse and
went to the scene. Strikers armed with
Winchesters drove the sheriff's men
away without firing a shot.
Sunday the miners withdrew from
the collieries and made a camp across
the river. They returned to Staniford
yesterday en masse and rioting began.
Several non-union miners were assault
' ed and a deputy sheriff was chased from
the town.
A mob destroyed the railroad bridges
leading to the mines on the Chesapeake
ft Ohio and threatened to burn other
property. The guards at the mines
were openly defied and were unable to
do anything toward quelling the dis
order. Notice of the rioting was tele
phoned to the sheriff and to Cunning
ham.
Xarff Posse Organised.
Cunningham rushed to this city and
engaged 36 men to Join his expedition
against the miners. At the same time
a sheriff's posse made a forced march
to the mines, where the two attacking
I forces Jointed. In all there were 160
men in the combined posses.
The miners had secured 160 rifles but
there were but 60 men. at the collieries
at the time the combined posses ar
rived, x
.The attacking force succeeded in sur
rounding the strikers and taking the
latter by surprise. Without warning a
volley was fired at, the miners and the
battle began.' Hastily seising rifles the
miners returned ,the lire as beat they
could, but they were surrounded on ail
aides and a rain of lead poured in upon
them.
The wonder Is that more men were
not killed at the first fire. Seven of
the union men were riddled with bullets
while others were fatally shot Many
were slightly wounded.
The hot fire of tha officers sooi had
its effect and the miners raised a white
. rag on a rifle barrel as a token of sur
render. One hundred and twenty-five miners
were gathered in from the surrounding
country and marched under guard to
this, city, where they were formally
charged with rioting and disobeying an
Injunction .from a United Stutes court

because in order to properly discharge

Charged with bringing Pretty Ida
Oray trom Sun Francisco to Oregon
with improver motives, arrested this
morning on bis arrival In Portland and
compelled to part with DO good gollars
to return the young woman to tier home
are soma of the things which today
Happened to Stephen Carver, president
of the Bank of Ontario, Or.
When the San Francisco train pulled
into the depot this morning a complain
was at once lodged with the pollc
against Carver, he was placed under
arrest and the story of the trouble was
told.
Carver's Story.
President Carver, according to h
own story, left his qulut Ontario homo
for a business trip to San Francisco,
The chief object Of his trip was to
procure a young lady for a position In
his lhiunclul Institution as asslHtant
cashier, typewriter and stenographer,
Wtll, Carver arrived in the city by
the Golden Gate.
Where should ho look for an as
Blatant?
Ah: thought Carver I II put an
'ad' In thut great newspaper, tho Ex
amlnor; It'll fetch a pretty string!"
And he placed the "ad."
And the girls came In swarms and
droves.
"Of all men, I certainly am the most
blest," thought Carver, as he bade the
pretty young things sit down and wait
until he could get an opportunity to
talk with each one.
Makes His Pick.
What a daxxllng array those girls
made as they lined up In Carver's room
Just thins of the opportunity! All of
those pretty young beauties had come
desiring to become his assistant la the
bank, of Ontario.
1 nere were so many, and each one
posseNsud many grucetul charms. It
was very dtttlcult Indeed to make
choice from among tliem. Hut he could
not very well employ the whole num
ber. He ' miift select one Just one
glii, that was ull he could afford-
The upshot of the .matter was the
engagement of the little maid who
proved Carver's utter undoing before
he droppod her like a red-hot coal in
this city toduy. He found, and he
acknowledges, that she Is the most ten
acious little woman he ever dealt with.
Kiss Gray's Story.
Miss Ida Gray Is a beautiful young
woman. With dark hair and eyes of
soft brown and a complexion to match
Miss Gray and President Carver trav
eled on the same train from Sun Francisco.
"He engaged me as his assistant
cashier and stenographer, and agreed to
give me three mouths' work ai 140 per
month," said Miss Gray this morning.
"I accepted his proposition, and we took
the train for Ontario. I was a little
susptclous of him, but thought probably
I was mistaken. .At any rule, I was
determined to stay with the proposition.
as I had expended some money getting
ready to come, and could not afford to
back down. I answered the1 advertise
ment he put In the paper, and went to
his room, 929 O'Farrel street. He seemed
satisfied that I was competent to do the
work he wanted me to do, and I thought
I had at last secured a good position,
Well, he made me feel very badly
In the first place by buying me a sec
ond-class ticket. I thought a lady should
travel In first class style, but he evi
dently thought otherwise, so Ihad to
put up with it.
On the way up, I think it was yester
day afternoon, he came to me and mode
me an indecent proposal. I Indignantly
refused. I aald that I was not that Bort
of a girl, and, he was mistaken If he
thought I wa I theft asked him if he
was married. He told me - no" one time,
and then he told me he was. I had
begun to think ha was a pretty peculiar
sort of a man.
He told me his wife was very Jealous,
and that he did-not want me to be seen
with him. There were some teopJe on
the train named Bernard, , and he told
me he knew them, and did not want me
to speak to them.
"He kept telling me all the time on
the train that I was not, competent, and
that he did noc want me. liut he did
tell me that IX I would come and live
In Ontario for his own personal grati
fication, that he would support me. I
again made an indignant reply, and he
then told me he would not have me for
his assistant cashier.
VI had him arrested at the depot, and
I will not consent to let him go until
he gives me 180, so tnat x can get a
ticket to San Francisco and pay my ex
penses. ' I ought to make him pay me
the full amount of the three months'
pay."
Carver Faia tae uonay.
Carver sat near by and listened to the
story as related by Miss .Gray. He did
not deny anything. He aald he was
willing to pay Miss Gray the amount
she asked for, If the matter would be
dropped by the authorities. He also
wanted an agreement l.iat the news
papers should not publish the story.
The authorities agreed to drop the mut
ter, Carver wrote his personal check
on the First National Bank of - Portland
and Captain of Detectives Simmons had
no trouble in cashing It. The money
was given to Miss Gr-y. and she will
go back to San Francisco.
Carver, when asked If he had any
thing to say, stated that he had not. lie
said he thought the girl a little bit
rasy, - but he dhl not-care--to- explain
anything.
When Carver left the Ponce Station
he looked as if he felt somewhat the
worse for his strenuous existence of
the morning.

Further Revelations Con
cerning Slot Machines
SEATTLE, Feb. 25 Sensational tes
timony regarding the slot machine ring
and its operations was given before the
grand Jury yesterday by Jacob Gold
berg, a gambler, who had been arrested
on a bench warrant because he refused
to obey a subpoena. of the grand Jury.
Goldberg Is a gambler whose word la
said to be good. When he left the
grand Jury room he admitted that he
hud been asked concerning an alleged
attempt to buy off one of the Superior
Court Judges for the purpose of regain
ing possession of slot machines - that
hud been seised In a Law and Order
League raid. - Goldberg-said that P.
Witt Shaw, a Seattle business man,
came to him lust fall after three of his
machines were seised and told him that
if he (Goldberg) would pay him (Shaw)
tluo the machines would be returned.
Goldberg, with a kpowlng look, said the
machines were returned and not con
fiscated as the law directs they shall be.
This money was alleged to have been
raised for the Superior Court Judge
who issued the order for returning the
machines. It was Just such charges
that caused Judge Bell to call the
grand Jury. Bell's friends laugh at the
idea that he hus done anytning wrong.
They say that If he had he most cer
tainly would not have called the grand
Jury, Nevertheless the Jury Is Investi
gating tnat very thing.
Following close upon Goldberg were
Superior Judges Tall man and Griffin,
who hud refused to call the grand Jury
when ix popular demand was made
for It.
.Other witnesses were Judge Thomas
Burke, locul attorney for the Great
Northern Railway, who was asked -con
cerning t-he reoetvlng of a recent tunnel
franchise for the company from the
hands of the city council. RV V. Ankeny
and James D. Hoge, Jr., local bunkers,
were also witnesses. '

Seattle Man Charged"
With Perjury
(Journal Special Service.)
SEATTLE, 'Wash., Feb.
U. Piper has been Indicted by the King
County grand Jury. The charge against
him is perjury. While at this writing
the indictment has not been returned,
it is positively known that Piper wag
voted upon for Indictment and the
necessary vote was secured. ' : Ths
formal. Indictment may not be returned
for several days when the next batch,
of Indictments are sent In.
Piper is the best known Republican
politician in Seattle. As the ' manager
for three campaigns for Mayor Humes,
Piper gained for himself much promi
nence though unenviable. With his po .
lit leal work there have always - been
stories of trickery and corruption of of
UC1UIB. -
Baled the Pollc.
Piper has always been accused of dlc
tatlng to the police department' tha .
manner in which it should handle gamb
ling and permit Immoral houses to run, '
In everything that pertained to the cor
ropt city administrations of the last
few years, George Ur Piper bas beea
declared to be the leader of the ring
that forced the police department
through the mayor to move at ltd
beckon, no matter how shameful thsj
order might be.
But with all these things it Is claimed
that the Jury failed to secure evidence)
to indict Piper on a charge of corrupt
tlon. Ho was asked concerning grafts)
of the police department and otliefi
higher oflU'luls. Piper was called be
fore tho Jury and testified, it Is Said,
that he knew nothing. Subsequent
events and testimony have evidently
told the Jury otherwise. Hence the in
dictment for perjury. Piper refuses ta
say whether he believes he has been in -dieted
or not.

ing an ax as the Instrument of Seath.
The woman is reported to be In a dying
