They went into the middle cifrthe street and Mr. (Deßray stepped nut and called to them to halt. Jim Ervtsu and Oscar stepped, but Tom kept going sorter sideways across the street.

" POSSEWASREPULSED # Shower of Bullets Greet Officers In West Virginia Coal Region. TRIED TO SERVE INJUNCTIONS Striking Miners Defy Court and Rout United States Marshals—Latter Forced to Retire for Reinforcements. A special from Huntington, W. Va., says: Monday a posse of United States deputy marshals, led by A. C. Ilufford, of Bluefield, were fired on by strikers and forced to flee from the coal fields at Matewan. Sunday afternoon the marshals, un der the leadership of A. C. Hufford, set out from Bluefield to reach the scene of the miners’ riots. When they ar rived within twenty miles of Thacker they found they could proceed no fur ther by rail on account of the flood. They struck out across the mountains, encountering almost insurmountable difficulties, and late Sunday afternoon reached their destination. Proceeding to work, they began serving notices of the injunction which had been issued by Judge Jackson. A mob of strikers followed, armed to the teeth with firearms. On all sides could be heard the cry, Down with government by injunction.’” Men threatened them with their weapons, women called down the vengeance of heaven upon them and children hurled stones. When nigntfall came notice had been served on the strikers of all the coal companies but one. and that was to he served at Lick Fork Coal and Coke Company, at Thacker. Fear ing an ambush, they waited until Mon day morning, and early in the day set out fer Thacker. Some time before noon they at tempted to serve the injunction papers at the above named colliery. A mob followed enraged to desperation at the sweeping character of the injunction. One reckless fellow fired the first .shot and quick as lightning the moun tain sides echoed and re-echoed with resounding reports that followed the crack of twenty or thirty rifles. The deputies were forced to take refuge in flight, and then barely escaped with their lives. A dispatch Tuesday from Thacker, W. Va., says: The United States dep uty marshals who were fired on while endeavoring to serve notices of injunc tion on striking miners, left last mid night for Charleston, having received orders from United States Marshal Thompson to come there at once. The supposition is that they will be largely reinforced and return, and that the state militia may be sent. While the United States marshals were lia the station at Thacker waiting for the train probably fifty shots wens fired into the depot by strikers who had gathered on the Kentucky side of the river. HAND TO HAND CONFLICT. Desperate and Bloody Battle Between Boers and British Near Reitz. Details received in Cape Town of the engagement between General El liott’s column ami DeWet’s force near Reitz show that the British surprised the Boer convoy. The burghers fled, but seeing that the captors were not in strong force, the Boers returned and charged tnem with great determina tion, after desperate fighting recap turing the convoy. Meanwhile, Colo nel DeLisle arrived with reinforce ments and the fighting was renewed. The Boers lay beneath their wagons and unflinchingly fired volleys be tween the wheels, while their com rrvles were engaged in inspanning and driving off that portion of the convoy farthest from the British. The latter pushed in among the wag ons, using the bayonets freely. Gen eral Delarey was present and person ally used a rifle. A man at his right hand was killed, and the comrade on his left had a hand wounded. The af fair ended in a series of hand to hand encounters and fierce meiees, the Boers eventually being driven off. One of General DeWet’s staff officers was wounded and taken prisoner. WAS POLHILL MURDERED? His Foster Mother Thinks So and Will Have Matter Investigated. Miss Joe Varner, of Indian Springs. Ga.. has determined to offer a reward for the slayer or slayers ol Hon. Hope Polhill, the soliciting general who was found dead in his office in Macon early one morning a few months ago. It was generally understood at the time that death was due to suicide, but members of the family have clung steadfastly to the belief that it was a case of foul play. Miss Varner was Mr. Polhill’s foster mother, and she has made up her mind to have a thor ough investigation made. NUMBER OF DEAD UNKNOWN.

JURY WAS VIRTUALLY COERCE# Jucge's Charge Caused Conviction of Man Who Appealed to the Unwritten Law. The jury before which Thomas G. Barker, tif Arlington, N. J., was tried for shooting with inteut to kill Rev. John Relief, of the same town, took one ballot Friday afternoon and return ed a verdict of guilty. Under the charge of the court they could do little else. The jurors were told they must set aside all else and decide only if Barker, with intent, fired at Keller. That was the law and they must obey it. Notice of appeal was given by Bar ker’s counsel. Barker, through the verdict, found himself ouce more an inmate of the '"ounty jail. He must remain there un til SIO,OOO bail is furnished. Before him stands a possible seven years' im prisonment and a fine of as much as $2,000. Mrs. Barker was not in the court room to hear the verdict She was in another part of the court house, and when told of the verdict she sobbed bitterly. Keller was aso absent, and showed deep emotion when told of the verdict Barker had expected an ac quittal. He based his hopes upon the strong plea of his counsel when he dwelt upon the unwritten iaw that. & man has a right to Kill where the sanc tity of his hofhe is assailed. Whatever the effecwif thin line of pleading upon the was swept away by the cold charg? that “The story of the al leged outrage, or the outrage itself, if true, was no justification of the defend- ant’s- assault.” The court explained be had admitted evidence that Barker hmi bees told of an alleged assault, not because it had anything to do with the case, but be cause it was tor the jury to determine if the story bad anything to do with making the defendant criminally irre sponsible. If they bel’eved the defend ant was sane at the time of the shoot ing, tney must convict. In his closing, Prosecutor Erwin ask ed the jurors if, the woman’s course was the natural one. He said her story was improbable, because Mrs. Barker would in the natural course have toid her husband of the assault at once, and, failing that, would have made a confidant of a woman and not of an Other man. The jury s only ballot was unani mous for guilty, and a unit for the highest degree charged. Keller, as soon as the trial was com pleted, issued a brief statement in which he absolutely denied the truth of the allegations that have been made and published by Mrs. Barker. Barker, in an interview Friday night, said: “1 aid not expect such a ver dict. It seemed to me there was a reasonable doubt. I believe that no twelve men could convict me after hearing my wife’s story, i believe that the supreme court will give me anew trial and that my wife’f story will be told.” DEADLY WORK OF A TORNADO.
