He was surround- ed by the men, struck and badly beaten by them, and driven back to his home. Sheriff Peter McFarland, who was summoned to the scene with deputies, ordered the assemblage to disperse, {and in doing so declared that several operators and mine foremen who wit- nessed the attack should also “spread.” Peter Stengle, aged sixty-five, a { miner, is confined to his home with | serious injuries suffered when he was | attacked by four men, whose identity {has not yet been discovered. Salem Hayes of Frostburg, also a miner for the Consolidation Coal Company, was the victim of a group of men who bombarded him*from ambush, a rock breaking his hip.

The bookies around town are begin- ning to drift back from vacations and to “open up” a trifie.

That the bookies are becoming more arnd ‘more wary, however, is evidenced by the fact that many bets are tele- rhoned from the “runners,” as soon after the bet has been made as pos- sible. There, at bookie headquarters, a record is made, and the temporary slip given the runner is torn up. BURNS GIRL TO DEATH. Trapper Confesses Saturating Her Witk 0il and Applying Match. YARMOUTH, N.

The embarkation list of Lafayette's y the of his compan- whoe are quite un- known, unheard of outside of the documeénts in the Library of Congres: Many Wanted to Come. Tradition has it that Lafayette had quite a following of French officérs ready to come with him to enlist in the cause of American freedom. 1In fact, it | known that fifty young officers waited at_San Sebastien to join his ship, the Victoria, and were ordered back into France by formal orders of the king. But ayette, arriving in the ship at San Secbastien. found similar orders of the king awaiting him “to pass on to Mar Seilles.” But it _is krown that he did not do it.

At machinists’ headquarters here inquiries brought the reply that he was “in Pittsburgh, Baltimore or New York.” Adding to the mystery was the established fact that Mr. Johnston had a conversation yesterday with Sceretary of Commerce Hoover be- {fore he dropped out of sight. and iwas reported to have informed the [ Secretary thatZsettlement _ prospects were bright. Whether B. M. Jewell, {the offictal head of the entire strik- ing group, was in company with | Mr. Johnston in the latter's’ myste- { rious journeyings or whether raliroad presidents were seeking or being sought for settlement conferences re- {mained at the “rumor” stage. No Fear of Injunction. A vigorous denial was entered by machinists’ officials to suggestions that thelr chief might be seeking to foil process servers armed with copies of the Chicago restraining order entered in the injunction suit against Mr. Johnston and the other strike ileaders. To the exact contrary, it Iwns said, he was “seeking service” of the papers, and would be instant- {1y brought to light to receive them {if any United States marshal showed up around his organization. It was even asserted that an official copy iof the order itself was badly wanted by the general strike committee, to check up against press reports. The,Southern railway, whose presi- dent, Fairfax Harrison. has sought separate settlement with the strik- ing shopmen on the basis of giving them everything their leaders had accepted as satisfactory in a national Bettlement, has had no overtures, it was said today, for renewal of nego- tiations. The management, though now engaged in employing new men, is_still able to make the original offers_again, it was added. H. L. Brunson, assistant to Presi- dent Johnston, sald today it would be impossible for any general con- ference | between union officlals and railway executives to be held with- out the International Assocjation of Machinists participating, and, he added, the fact that no official of that organization had been invited to any meeting was evidence in it- self that no such conference as rumored had been held or was con- templated at this time.
