The managers afc Ernest decided to start work Monday morning despite the conclusions reached at the miners' convention at Olearfield Friday and as trouble was feared they concluded to make ready for the emergency and some 30 deputies were senfc one Sabbath afternoon to see that those who wanted to go to work could do so without being hindered by the strikers or their sympathizers. Thirty men with guns were a menace to the miners and later a source of trouble. A foreigner shot. It is not known who committed the crime Later, Clark Davis, of this place, one of the deputies, received a serious wound across his thigh and still later Carney Oogley was shot in the hand. Davis was so badly hurt he was sent to Adrian hospital nud Tuesday morning his father, "Orucy" Davis, was notified to go to Puiixsiitawuey.

The hospital surgeon awaited the arrival of the father before he would operate on the sou, which proves that the operation would be a serious one. This shooting, it is alleged by some, was done by some of the miners! themselves or their sympathizers while others think the men got tangled among themselves as the result of frequent trips to a speakeasy. However, Davis will probably die and some man will be a murderer. Mouday morning as a man was going to his work a striker, named Cunbrinr, accosted hiin. Sheriff Wettliiig arrested Cnnbriar, believing lie was threatening the workman, while Ounbriar alleged that he was only speaking to him in a friendly manner.

Cunbriar was arraigned before 'Squire Grossman, who committed him to jail to await further developments.
