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.

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. BUICIDKH. Two Lovers-Ont Shoots, Vt hUe the Other Hans.

'. I r S CIECUIT COCBT. 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 if. cid reputation of lhe community which ba Buffered from their pnl.lioalion may ba restored, and Ibe distent poblta who la luipreaaions eolely from Iba praae, may know Ida alataaeot ara false, sod onderstand that ordar and good govern stent ara not strangers la ue.
