SIDES IN THE COKE REGIONS Uniontown, Pa, April 5 – Yesterday’s tragic events in the coke regions appear to have had a sobering effect on the strikers, and it is hardly probable that there will be a repetition of such bloody work. With the discovery of the bodies of eight Hungarian strikers in the woods near Dawson, the fatalities of yesterday are increased by ten with many more seriously injured than was first known. The eight dead strikers found this morning were undoubtedly killed by the party pursing the Paddock murderers. No definite information as to the cause of the death of the eight men has been obtained up to this time. The arrest of President Davis of the district organization has had a demoralizing effect upon the strikers. Davis was landed in jail here this morning at 8 o’clock, charged with complicity in the murder of Chief Engineer Paddock. Davis is the ninety-fifth striker arrested for the Paddock murder. Davis said he was sorry for yesterday’s occurrences, but the foreign element could not be controlled. He feels certain that he cannot be connected with the killing of Paddock. He will ask for a habeas corpus hearing at once and expects to be discharged on trial. The general feeling among the more intelligent strikers is that they cannot win against so much feeling stirred up against them by yesterday’s troubles together with the unpropitious time for a strike. The foreign element however, is nothing daunted and any further bloodshed will be caused by them. At all the plants where work is being attempted the strikers are gathered in large numbers. At Mount Braddock, the family Hill Farm mines and Riney’s –Moyer works there are several hundred strikers gathered about waiting for an attempt to operate the plants. Deputies are at all the plants armed with Winchesters. The operators have decided not to try to run these works at present. As a consequence of the general meeting of discouragement the big raid planned for today will not occur. Warrants are out for all the officers of the striker’s organization, but only Davis and Secretary Darby have been arrested. KOLB SCORCHED – Governor Jones Handles “The Genial Reuben” Without Gloves COL. OATES REPLIES – A False Reiteration of the Atlanta Constitution is Given an Unequivocal Denial P. B. PETERMAN, the old and reliable watch maker, is now located at Guin. If you want good work give him a call.

ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR REPRESENTATIVE I hereby announce myself a candidate to represent Marion County in the next General Assembly of Alabama subject to the action of the Democratic Party in convention assembled. Respectfully, W. C. DAVIS -------(political news and commentary)----- JOHNSON IS COMING – Capt. Joseph F. Johnson, candidate for the democratic nomination for Governor of Alabama, will address the citizens of Marion County at Hamilton on Saturday April 28th. All who desire to hear the doctrine of true democracy expounded should hear him. Johnson is coming and we hope the people will turn out and listen to true democracy. Capt. Johnson is a candidate for Governor, he is a life-long democrat and bears upon his person four honorable scars received while facing the enemies of our southland. He will entertain and instruct all who hear him. A life-long democrat who resides in Pikeville beat says there are eighty-two organized democrats in the beat and they are for Bankhead first, last, and all the time. EUGENE BYARS – On Trial For The Murder Of Eugene Walker The criminal court room was crowded yesterday morning when court was called to order. All except jurors, attorneys and court officials had evidently gone there to hear the Byars trial as the room was almost learned when the announcement that the case would not be called till 2 o’clock was made. Juries Nos. 1 and 3 were empanelled, after which court adjourned until 2 o’clock when jury No. 2 was completed. The case of Eugene Byars was the first on the docket and the clerk was instructed to call the witnesses sixty-two of whom had been subpoenaed for the state and twenty-five for the defendant. About forty of the state witnesses responded to their names and seventeen for the defendant The state was represented by Solicitor J. H. LITTLE, Assistant Solicitor LEE BRADLEY, Col. J.J. ALLMAN, and W. H. SMITH of Jasper. For the defense were JOSEPH H. MONTGOMREY, DANIEL E. GREEN and JOHN T. SHUGART. The defendant’s counsel made application for a change of venue, and presented a large number of affidavits, which they were afterwards, given permission to file, setting out the grounds upon which their application was based. It was the belief of the affiants that a fair and impartial trial could not be secured in Jefferson County on account of the prejudice said to exist against defendant and belief of his guilt. Solicitor Little opposed the application and it was overruled by Judge Green on the ground that the application came too late; it should have been filed earlier. The court gave the defendant’s counsel permission to file the affidavits. When the witnesses had all been called Solicitor Little announced ready for the state. Seven of the defendant’s witnesses were absent, some out of the state and others whom the officers could not find. Mr. Green stated that the defendant could not go to trial without these witnesses, and was given until this morning to make a showing. – [Age-herald] DISSOLUTION NOTICE The firm heretofore existing under the firm name of NORTHCUTT & CO., composed of the following persons; J.

Weekly Courier-Journal, Henry Watterson, Editor Best Democratic Paper published. Only $1 a year. PAGE 3 FREE PRESS Hamilton, Ala. April 12, 1894. One Dollar a year LOCALS (poems about election from Eutaw Mirror, Winston Herald, Walker County Record) W. F. GREEN of Pikeville was here Saturday. J. L. WHITE of Birmingham is in town on a visit. JAMES SPRINGFIELD of Guin was in town on business last week. WM. SHELTON and wife of Winfield are visiting friends and relatives at this place. Quite a number of Bexar’s well-to-do citizen were on our streets last Friday and Saturday. We extend a hearty welcome to our Glen Allen correspondent and hope he may write often. Prof. ZIEGLER of the Winfield High School was a welcome caller at our office on last Saturday. Farm work is progressing nicely, and our sturdy planters are doing well their part to overcome the ‘hard times.” TOM SHELTON of near Detroit had the misfortune to have a good young horse stolen from him one night last week. Dr. SAILOR of Vernon was in town the first of the week. The doctor is looking out for a location to practice his chosen profession. Turkey hunting is now the order of the day and ye editor has to confess that he has made two unsuccessful attempts to get a shot. FROM DETROIT A great deal of corn had to be planted again, since the freeze killed it. Gubernatorially speaking, Detroit is as red-headed as a peckerwood. THOMAS M. SHELTON had a fine young horse stolen from this stable last Tuesday night. Tom is working after him but at least account had not race of the direction he went. We deeply sympathize with Uncle CLABE RIGGAN in the loss of his good wife, whose death occurred on Sunday the 1st inst., at their home a few miles west of this place. Yes, for a time at least the court house question is settled and the Courier can now cross its legs and take a fresh chew of tobacco, while it watches the progress of a $2,000 job on the old “shack” at Vernon. JOHN CARSON BROWN and Miss ISLER COKER were married last Thursday at Ebenezer Church by W. B. CANTRELL, Esq. but as the license were issued in Marion county and the ceremony performed in this county by a Lamar county Justice, it was thought best to have the ceremony performed again and by a Marion county official, consequently they were married again yesterday. It was so near his own home and the fact of Mr. BROWN’S request and like as not ‘Squire CANTRELL’S first performance, we supposed he did not think of county boundaries. The Democratic party of Lamar County has to re-organized itself, so every precinct has been ordered to elect a new committeeman next Saturday, the 14th inst. to attend the meeting of the Executive Committee at Vernon on the 16th inst. Dr. G. W. HOLLIS our Populite Representative, did not “pop” here on the 31st as was advertised, but the cork was removed last Saturday and such a conglomerated sputtering of wind, gas and foam was never heard in the town before. He denounced Governor Jones as being meaner than a mule thief and accused him of stealing a few hundred thousand dollars from the states treasury to have himself elected governor. Of the election law he said but little and sustained himself in nothing. The fact is that the workings of a well regulated government are so mysterious to Mr. HOLLIS and so far beyond his comprehension that he sees nothing but apparent evil, and disgusted with is own incapacity as a statesman, desires to go against that he may draw his salary and tried to cover up his own record by abusing his superiors. This may win, but we are not yet ready to believe it. CLIP, Detroit, ala,. April 8 HACKLEBURGH ITEMS A sad accident occurred near this place about 4 o’clock last Thursday evening, which resulted in the death of Mr. W. M. HALL. The unfortunate man was cutting down a tree to make rails when a flying limb struck him on the head, crushing his skull. He lived about twelve hours but never spoke but once and that was a cry to the Lord for mercy. He leaves a wife and six little children to mourn his untimely death. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. A. WIGINTON is very sick and not expected to live. S. A. G. WALKER is wrestling with chills and fever. W. R. WAMSLEY’S little daughter is sick with chills. Rev. J. W. WHITE filled his appointment at the Methodist church last Sunday. P. N. GREEN left for Boonville, Miss. last Friday on business. Rev. C. P. LUNSFORD leaves this morning for Shelbyville, Ala. as a delegate to a convention of the Congregational Church. In regard to “Democrat’s” article last week will say that we never claimed there were only 23 democrats in this beat. If “Democrat thinks it too early to be blowing about our Congressmen, why did he begin the blowing and jump right into Mr. Long’s paper to give him praise and down Bankhead?

Kentucky Tobacco Co., Owensboro, Ky. A GOOD CAPTURE – The Murderer of Detective Wallace Under Arrest Union Springs, April 5 – (Special) – RILEY WALKER, the murderer of Detective WILLIAM WALLACE, has been captured and is now in jail at Tallahassee, Fla. Sheriff Roberts on yesterday received a telegram from J. A. PEARCE, Sheriff of Leon County, Fla. asking the amount of the reward offered for Riley Walker, and saying that he had arrested a party answering description. From a letter received from him this morning it seems he has the right man and a telegram just received contains the information that Riley Walker has acknowledged his identity and is now in jail. A requisition will at once be procured and Riley will be brought back to answer the charge of murder. The citizens of this town learned the news of his capture with great pleasure and desire that he shall have a speedy trial. WILSON IMPROVING A special from San Antonio, Texas says: Congressman W. L. WILSON returned here today from the ranch of Ex-Congressman Ben Cable, where he has been for the past ten days. He is looking much better than when he left here. His color is good and he has gained several pounds in weight. When called upon by a reporter and asked if he would give some expression as to what he thought of the senate’s action of different features of his tariff bill, he replied that he had left Washington to get away from the tariff question and that he had paid no attention to the matter since.

GLEN ALLEN LOCALS Editor Free Press As I am domiciled here at this place (Glen Allen) and my interest is largely identified with the people of this community, I will give you a few dots for your paper. The cold weather has nipped all vegetation in the bud, yet our farmers seem to be calm and serene, and hope of the future. W. A. LEE is doing a splendid business in furnishing our farmers their much needed supplied. Mr. J. F. LOWE, one of our county commissioners, has planted and is going to plant one hundred acres in corn. How is this for hominy? Of course, it is understood that the ”hog will be there also.” Dr. J. C. JOHNSON is doing a good work at this place. His territory is large and his is ever ready to give relief to the suffering in the most skillful way. Mr. THOS. H. REE, our well known nurseryman is busily engaged in graftin (sic). He is putting out quite a large stock this season. Whoop! Hurrah for the convention and delegates that are going to nominate W. C. DAVIS for Representative. The people on this side of the river have decided that they want a man whose mind is superior to the fish of Buttahatchie or the tadpoles of Guin. Brother HENRY is a good man in his sphere, but his sphere seems to be confined chiefly to incorporating swamps. So he will have to stand a side this time and let Billy go. The Glen Allen High school is making wonderful progress under the proficient management of Prof. MACK PEARCE. Forty-three pupils in attendance and others will be in soon; this is pretty good for this season of the year. This school will close the last of June. Only one week’s vacation and the public school will open, which will be taught the present teacher. Glen Allen has decided to educate her jewels. Success to the Free Press. BILL N. Glen Allen, ala.
