THE FOUR PRISONERS
Rescued From a Gang of Foreigners
After a Rugged Ex-
perience.
THE UNIONTOWN INQUEST
Two More Will Die-Scenes of Depredation.
Property Destroyed by the Mob-The
Kidnaping Denounced.
'Unlontown, Pa., June 11.—The four Amer-
ican workman who were taken prlHoners
by u mob of foreigner at New Haven 011
Saturday were overtaken at. Fair Chance
and rescued at notni to-day by the depu-
ties
The deputies met with no opposition
owing to their numbers, the men giving
the workmen up for fear of resistance
They were 'brought h.-re 'this afternoon and
returned 'to their homes at l.elslng No. 2.
When found they were wtill bearing the
placards amd were chalk-marked from 'head
to foot. Just What torture 'they were sub
ject'ed to after the battle yesterday an<l
last night is not known yet, but they
were a worn and haggard looking lot when
rescued. They were taken away from 1.'
mont yesterday while the trouble was in
progress and marched to Cool Springs,
where t'hey were turned over 'to the strlk
era from the Stewart Iron works and there
kept and paraded until the leaders learned
that the officers had located them. Then
they were taken to (he southern end and
lianded over from one crowd to another
until landed in flic strikers' camp at Kyle.
The deputies got 011 to their whereabouts
by a little extra parading, and, having
search-warrants, went to rescue the dm
prisoned workmen.
The kidnaping is denounced on all sides,
even by the friends of the strikers, as the
most atrocious and fiendish act in the his-
tory of -the movement and 'the fact that -tihe
prisoners were Americans Is turning pub-
lic sentiment more strongly against the
■perpetrators.
The deputies a,re now collecting all tihe
evidence available in the case and many
arrests will 'be made as soon as they can
be identified. It is estimated that no lews
t/han 500 strikers handled the workmen
from the time they were captured at New
Haven until they were rescued to-day.
The workmen will lie u>>le to Identify their
captors and will not fear to appear against
them.
The southeastern • nd of the county was
■the scene of much depredation last night.
A delegation of strlk' r-s visited the banks
on George's creek, where part of the coal
being shipped over the new state line road
is mined, and burned up and broke the
tools and wiheelbarniws Into kindling wood.
Not being satisfied with tilts they tore out
the support at th>' entrance to the banks
and caved in atom twenty feet of the en-
trance.
A Jury has been impaneled by Coroner
Batton to liokl «n Inquest on 'the body of
John MokalT, the man killed In yesterday's
battle, and a searching investigation will
be made. Of those injured, Resporchek and
Cornack will die. The others are not seri-
ously hurt.
GOVERNOR WAITE'S ORDER.
Cripple Creek, <\ol„ June 11.—The deputies
broke camp and started for Colorado
Springs to-day, in accordance with the
agreement with General Brooks and Sher-
iff Bowers. The mines will now be re-
opened and the militia will act as a guard
as long as they are needed. The mine own-
ers will pay $1! for eight 'hours' work.
The agreement made between General
Bruloka anil Khertft Bowers at Cripple
Creek does not meet with Governor Wal'te's
approval in all respects. The governor to-
day wired Adjutant General T&rsney that
the troops must not be used as guards at
the mines, that receipts must be given
the -miners for arms taken from them, and
not more than twenty-flve miners must be
arrested.
BRIDGRS DYNAMITED.
Birmingham, Ala., June 11.—The big Iron
bridge on the Kansas City, Memphis and
Birmingham road alt Carbon Hill was
blown up with dynamite to-day. The explo-
sion of -the dynamite occurred only a few
moments before the .morning train reached
tihe bridge.
Bridges at Pa turn, Mabel mines and otiher
points have been burned w.:-jtvin a few days
and several attempts have been made to
•burn a long trestle. All these accidents are
charged to str.kcrs, whose purpose It Is
to prevent the transportation of coal. The
sheriff has gone to Carbon HIM to make
arrests.
SHORT RECEIVERSHIP.
Chloago, 111., June 11.—Judge Tuthlll va-
cated to-day the wder appointing John c.
Wilson receiver of the Switchmen's -mutual
association upon the application of coun-
sel for the organization. It was agreed
between nil parties to the suit that pro-
ceedings would take the form of an in-
quiry into the merits of the claims of
George Ru-tter, the complainant. This ef-
fectually disposes of the receivership ques-
tion and the hearing of the claim will be
taken up at a later date.

ously estimated at from 1500 to 2000, urging
them to accept the government's proposi-
tion and allot their land in severalty and
sell the surplus, dividing the proceeds of

T„ last Saturday.
Dallas,' Tex., June ll.-What is probably
one of the most Important trips ever made
by business men In behalf of the material
interest of the state will be made out of
Dallas next Thursday night. Car No. SO,
one of the finest private cars in the Katy's
service, will be at the disposal of the
party anil will be turned over to Colonel
John N. Simpson Wednesday morning.
In the party will be Governor J. S.
Hogg of Texas, Colonel John X. Simpson
and Captain W. H. Ouston of Dallas,
Mayor B. H. Paddock of Fort Worth, Ed
Kotan of Waco and perhaps fifteen or
twenty prominent business men of eastern
and central and southern Texas.
The trip will be for business purely. Poll-
lies will not figure. Governor Hogg will
make speeches explaining the laws passed
by the Twenty-second and Twenty-third
legislatures, particularly, of course, the law
relating to the rights of aliens and the
railroad companies, and endeavor to re-
move as far as possible what are said
to be erroneous impressions which have
gone abroad to the effect that Ills ad-
ministration has been antagonistic to In-
vestment of outside capital in Texas. Along
with these explanations he will throw in
chunks of facts and sandwich lines of
figures showing the Illimitable resources of
Texas and the profitable returns to capital
properly invested.
The other gentlemen of the party will
reflect what the governor says 011 material
matters by mingling and mixing with the
men of money and enterprise in the places
they visit. They expect good results to
I exas at large on the Investment, which
by the way, Is private and is freely given
for the benefit of Texas.
vSo much for the objects of the trip ns
gathered by a News reporter from Colonel
John N. Simpson, who with Captain (las-
ton made a trip to Ausfin the other day
to meet Governor Hogg and complete ar-
rangements.
"The idea," said Colonel Simpson, "was
first conceived between Governor Hogg and
myself during the fair here bust fall. When
the governor caine up here and saw what a
line display of the suite's resources we had
collected, and being familiar with fhe bene-
Itts accruing -to Texas from fairs In the
past, he sat up a thinking how tin scope of
the work of advertising Texas might be ex-
tended, and how we might get nearer In
touch with the people of the north, and in-
terest northern money and brains n de-
veloping this wonderful state. We discuss-
ed the fair and things connected with it
and the benetifs to be derived frotn It by
the slate at large, and lie said that he

only a willingness to go, but seemed t.• be
anxious to go and explain to the people the

range to get away at the same time until
now.
"Our first intention was to arrange for
only a small party of eight or ten, and with
that Intention we engaged a private car for
that number. Hut as soon as our plans be-

tions came in so rapidly that we determin-
ed to extend arrangements for a larger
party and give representatives to each sec-
tion of the state—north, south, east west
and the central portion. In addition to

Hogg is to select three ieadilng businesw
men from the southern and eastern por-

FAMILY TROUBLE.
An Ex-Justice of the Peace Shot Down in
Cooke County.
Gainesville, Cooke Co., Tex., June 11.—At
G o'clock last evening John J. Ueasor, ex-
justlce of tin* peace and a prominent citi-
zen. was killed at his home, fourteen miles
southeast of lu re by C. Hearndon. Yester-
day morning the latter called to Reasor's
house to spend lhe day. At the hour above
state both were seated on the front porch
when Rcasor's attention was directed to a
rabbit out near the front gate. As he
turned to look at th.- rabbit Hearndon drew
his pistol and shot him, the ball penetrating
the head behind the light ear, ranging up-
ward. It came out near the left eye. Rea-
son staggeivd and went a distance of thirty
feet, when he IVll. Hearndon followed him
and shot him twice, the balls taking effect
in the region of tie heart. He reloaded tha
pistol and emptied the contents into the
body. He then went in search of his
I Ifearnd.tn'sl wife, who was visiting at a
neighbor's hoius •. Hearing of his approach
she secreted herself and his search was In
vain. Jumping on a horse near by Hearn-
don rode in a westerly direction and has
not since been seen.
Immediately after the killing a courier
reached this cFt.v and notified Sheriff Ware,
who in company with several deputies left
for the scene. The origin of the difficulty
was tie- result of domestic affairs said to
have originated in Virginia several years
ago. Tb arndon alleged that Reasor caused
him to be separated from his wife. De-
ceased was about H5 years of age and wy/*
the father "f children. The moth
died several years ago. Hearndon is a ma
of 31! years and had four children.
