striking miner, was shot to death
Thursday night in a clash between
national guardsmen and members of
the newly formed Progressive union,
climaxing a day of disorders in the
central Illinois coal field. Ganis was
shot near his home at Tovey, near
here. The wounding of a rural mail
carrier, named Butterfield, was re
ported from Langleville as tension
increased during a serie3 of clashes
between employed miners, guarded
by troops, and striking coal diggers.
Alarmed at the steady increase of
guerilla warfare, officials increased
the national guard detachment here
to seven full companies, and issued
orders to break up all gatherings.
Even tho local republican and demo
cratic headquarters were ordered
closed by troops in the belief that
trouble was being fomented there by
striking miners.
Hostilities started shortly after
daybreak, when a group of men at-
acked a national guardsman on duty
at the Peabody coal mine. The
uardsman was disarmed and severely
lugged. Other strikers marched on
the home of Kike McGuire, an em
ployed miner, only to be met with
a volley of shotgun fire that crippled
several members. The attackers rid
dled the house with bullets, but Mc
Guire escaped uninjured.
Several persons were clubbed and
beaten in fights that ensued when
guardsmen raided a saloon where an
improvised strikers headquarters had
been set up. Several strikers were
arrested.
Reports that a large cache of
dynamite had been placed in a barn
at the home of Mrs. Frank Fesser,
brought a detachment of troops to
the place. As the guardsmen ap
proached a number of men fled, but
thirty were overtaken and arrested
after an exchange of shots. Xo one
was injured and troops were unable
to find any explosives.
Guardsmen opened fire en an au
tomobile load of pickets en route
from Gillespie to this city when the
men failed to heed an order to halt.
One of the pickets was wounded.

human avalanche started when one
of the men, Arthur Johnson, slipped
near the top of the tube, which is
nine feet in diameter.
His body struck workers below.
The lights went out. The tangle of
screaming men shot down over sharp
rivets and corrugations to the bot
tom of the siphon. Only one escaped
unhurt. The most seriously injured
were Johnson, John Baich, Phillip
Garrig and Frederick Payne, night
foreman. The men were scraping the
walls of the siphon.

(The Forgotten Man)
Bankers Have Royal Good Time
The Cas3 County Bankers associa

last Wednesday, Columbus day, and

tained by the bankers of this hust
ling city. Messrs and Me6Iames P.
L. Hall and E. O. Miller sure know
Tell me not, that we grow dumber,
as the days are passing by, for I wot
that still we slumber, still delay
the battle cry; ba'anced budgets are
almighty, and admitting they're al
righty, we would go without a
nighty, in a case of do or die.
But to make the balance nearer
they have taxed us till it hurts, and
tho things of life grow dearer, so
we go without our shirts; now we
find 'tis our election, that our money
makes deflection, from the things that
Luild complexion, be we sissies, be
we nirt3.
Things we used to think we need
ed, now are done without in ease, we
are used to being bleeded, by the
Spenders, when they please; we, our
selves are only kidding, for those
named to do our bidding, all too
often now are skidding, just to sail
on placid seas.
We shall rise up in our fury and
some moment by and by, we shall
be the judge and Jury, we shall pick
the bed to lie; P.. F. C. doth not be
friend us, 11. F. C. will never ler
us, but it's spending sure will send
us to the pauper's home to die.
Shall we pay the bills forever, get
ting nothing in return, shall we from
our pleasures sever, as we watch our
money burn; though we claim the
deal is rotten, we are glad to dress
in cotton, since we are the men for
gotten, waiting for the worm to
turn.
