Associated Press Dispatches.
Virden, III., Oct.' 114. The arrival of tho imported negroes from
the houth at 12:30 today wna followed by a desperate battle. Five
hundred shots were exchanged between the strikers ou one side and
Sheriff Davenport aud his deputies and the railroad polioe on the
other side. It is thought that at leaBt 50 on both sideB were killed and
wounded. The best iufoimation is that 30 were killed, 10 fatally
wounded and 10 seriously wouodtd.
When the Chicago & Alton train bearing the negroea arrived, it
waB met by fully 1,500 armed miners who were lined up on each side
of the track between the telegraph ollice and the mine of the Chicago
Virden Coal company.' lhe train was stopped immediately in fiout of
the east end of the stockade and the trouble began. Dozens of shots
were hred from the f tockade at the white men, while the strikers were
half a mile away, and oue Chicago & Alton policeman was undoubtedly
killed by a shot from the tower. The wildest rumors are afloat, oue
being that as many aa 50 miners have been killed. The town is in
greatest excitement, and men are securing whatever aims they oan get
hold of, expecting to use them for their own protection if the trouble
spreads.
Mayor Hall has sent messengers to Giiard fordootors and nurses.
Shortly before 1:30 Manager Lukena tried to make his escape from
the shaft. The attempt was a signal for another f usilade from a body
of men said to be minersri. 1 ue manager and a small force of detent
ives ran into the alley behind the postoflioe. The attacking parties,
lowever continued to fire away. It is not known whether any of the
shots took nfl'ect. The city marshal telegraphed the chief of police of
opnngheld to send a special traiu with doctors. Sheriff Davenport
has sent a telogram to uovernor launer asking that troops be Bent
immediately. The sheriff thinks possibly 100 men have killed and
wounded, but others deem this estimate too largo. There is the greaU
eet indignation against the initio operators. Manager Lukens is held
responsible for the tragedy.
Chicago, Oct. 12. Ofliciala of the Chicago A Alton road at 2:45
this afternoon, madd the following statement to the Associated Press:
We have just received a teport that 50 miners and six oflicors were
killed in the riot at Virden, III. D. II. Kiley, oue of the watchman
sent from here yoeterday to guard the e Pitches of our road was killed.
Carunville, III., Out. 12, A report says every deputy in the
stockade at Virdun is killed. Another report guys there are three
killed and two wou tided. From Mouut Olive raessagfs were received
seeding for doctors. The operator at Yirdn is afraid to stick is hoad
out of the door on accouut of the dying bullets, but he s tw two or three
wagon loads of wounded pass.
SruixoriELD, Oct 12. A train riddled with bullets pulled into
the Chicago it Alton depot here this afteruooc from Virdoii. One
deputy is datL He was ridiuu d the front car with his Winchester
and the miners tired ou him. lie discharged his Winchester and was
shot almost to pieces. Engineer Bttrt Kig"r, of Blotniugton, who was
drawing the train, was nhot in the arm. There wore about 250 armed

Accused of Complicity In Bome Recent Tralu
Robberies.
Kansas Orrt, Oot. 11. Jesse James,
Jr., eon of the notorious bandit, Jesse
James, Missouri's pioneer train robber,
was taken from bis oigar stand in tba
county court house by the polioe thia
evening nud is being seoreted by the po
lioe authorities. Two other men, whoei)
names are not known, and whom the po
lioe refuse to talk about, were arrested
soon after the polioe took young James
into oustody.
Jesse James, Jr , has been nnder the
surveillance of the polioe sinoe the last
of tbe many . train robberies In the out
skirts ot Kbdbss City. This was tbe rob
bery of the Missouri express near Leede
on September 24th. William Lowe, u
Santa Fe Bwitcbman, has been in ous
tody sinoe five days after the hold up.
Lowe is a native of the Oracketneck dis
trict, just east of tbe city, which was
made notorious as tbe hiding plaoe of
the first James gang. ; When oloso
pressed the James boys, the Youugars,
the Tyam and others ot the old gang
always found shelter in the Oraokerneok.
John Kennedy, the locomotive engineer
who baa been twioe arrested in connec
tion with the more recent train robberiee
in Jackson county, is also a native of tbe
Oraokerneok. '
Kennedy, Lowe and youug JeBse James
are friends and though young James bas
always borne a good reputation he has
lately been under snrveillmice with the
others. Tbe polioe maiotuin there has
been a purification of the Orackerneck
district and all their work sinoe tbe last
robbery seems to have been in tbisdireo-tioa.
Late tonight it became known that tbe
police also have in ouHtody Bill Ryan,
one of the most notorious ot the old
J Bines gang. Ryan, like the others, was
reared in tbe Oraokerneok district. It
was not generally known that Bill Ryan
was in tbe vicinity of Kansas Oity at tbe
tiraeot tbe robbery or sinoe. The polioe
do not state where Ryan was arrested,
but he is reported to have been caught
In Oklahoma.
Bill Ryan is about 67 years old. In
18(11 be was arrested in Tennessee and
brought to Jaokson oountr and con
victed here of complicity in the robbery
ot a Chicago & Alton train at Qlendale.
He was aentenoed to two years' impris
onment, but soon after his incarceration
tbe robber's friends in Jackson oonnty
began vtorkioa to seoure bis release,
pleading that he whs a broken down man
and could live but a few years. Finally,
In 18H8, these representations bad tbe
effect of inducing Governor Morehouse
to pardon Ryan and restore bim to citi
zenship. Ryan at once on me baok to
Riiosas City, but afterwards ha went to
the Paoiflo otMst, aud about a year ago
be was reported to be iu Japan.

Forcible Address to the Grand Jury by
Judge Lowell.
East Oregoutan.
Judge Lowell convened the circuit
oourt for tbe October seaeion Monday
morning
Tbe ouees that will attraot tbe most
attention are those of 0. C. Cunningham
and J. W, Willis, Cunningham being '
charged with the murder of Oliver
Young, and the shooting of Mrs. J.J.
Worcester, and Willis with an assault
with a dangerous weapon on O. 0.
Cunningham. There bas probably been
no case in tbe history of court procedure
iu Umatilla oounty, if, indeed, io Ore
woo, possession such tragio interest.
Various theories have been formed ac
counting for tbe action of Cunningham,
and the trial will attraot hundreds to '
tbe court room. The only oase ot recent .
years which compares with this one iu
trsgio features was tbe one in whiob
Frank Fletcher and Peter Qaskell were
oharged with tbe murder of Charles
Peter six years ago thia fall.
Judge Lowell's charge to the grand
jury was a very foroible address and
will be read with deep interest. lis
said.
Gentlemen : I band you oopies of
newspapers containing assertions whiob,
it trne, indioate a oondition of things In
Ibis oonnty requiring oareful and
thorough investigation by your body.
These artioles appearing in tbe Pen
dleton Tribune and as a Pendleton dis
patch In the Portland Oregoniau declare
that there exist within our midst organ
ized bands ot stock thieves, whose de
predations are so bold and so extensive
that stook men have found it necessary
to organize for self-prnteotion; that
these robbers have intimidated wit
nesses, terrorized jurors, tampered with
officers aud bribed judges.
Such a state of affairs, it true, would
indioate that this fair section, ot whtoo
every oitimo baa beeu proud and wbeis
it was supposed that lawlessness was at
a minimum and law and order supreme,
where it has been the belief that the
rights of persoo and property were pro
tected by oompetentand faithful officers,
and the law administered by oourts
honestly, fearlessly and impartially, is
io fuol little better than the wild regions
where tbo bardy pioneer administered
stern justice tbrongb vigilantes and a
hempen rope.
Civilization never yet has reached per
fection, and until human nature is
demised in lhe divine atmosphere ot lha
millennium, some crime will exist, but I
cannot believe that these statements ot
wholesale criminality are mora than lha
lurid vanorioss ot a oewsnauer sen-
atioualiel, hut the assertions are of a
diameter wbiob demand investigation
by a competent tribunal, because, it
true, tba law breakera must ba brought
to jnstioe aud tba righta of person and
property protected. It they ara not
true, a cruel libel has been spread
abroad artVotiug the good name of tba
Oonnty and its people.
Not only this, but if corruption exists
in oourts of justice every tie of humanity
and every safeguard ot our institotiona,
is tone-bed and in danger. Courts must
ba kept, like Caesar's wife, beyond sus
picion, Ibat every man entering their
precincts for lha protection or determi
nation ot bis righta, may bava his sause
ailjudieated by publia servanta unin
fluenced by fear, favor or hope of re
ward.
I charge yon to eiatnioe these matters
fearlessly, candidly and fully, with a
view lo establishing tba truth or falsity
of tbrae serious sorueatlona, regarding
neither lha position or Ititluence of those
who may be guilty (if you bsva reason
lo believe from tba evidence Ibat any
sra guilty) of the erlinea wbiob these
srtloloa charge, either id larceny, or
neglect or rorruilioo of those whose
duty It ia to enforce Iba law and ad-
minister jnstioe. Tbre ia no limit to
tba aonpe of your iovestigatioua. Do
your duty and sea I hat Justine ia done.
Should you flud lha allegations of
these artmlea baseless, and naly Iba na-
errnpiilone nlterannea of aenaatioual
journalism, I deem it your duty to re
port, In order that aa far as possible lha
