Hutchinson of that institution that Cobaugh is critically ill and not expected to recover. Mr. Knee notified relatives of Cobaugh of his condition. Charles Cobaugh was the husband of Mrs. Sarah Cobaugh, the Conemaugh woman who was one of the victims of the double murder committed by Thomas Johns last year. His mental decrepitude dates before that crime, however. Cobaugh is about forty-five years old. Miners are Ejected Deputy Sheriff Ed Knee and a posse of 10 men went to Vintondale Monday where they evicted a score of families from houses owned by the Vinton Colliery Company. Very little trouble of any kind was encountered. The people who were evicted were the families of men formerly in the employ of the coal company but who quit the concern when the reduction in wages was declared some time ago. They have, as stated, joined the United Mine Workers of America, and are now receiving a stipulated sum weekly from that body. Notices on the scores of tenants to vacate was served some days ago and all of them were in readiness to leave Monday. Deputy Knee took the posse with him, not for the purpose of quelling disorder, because none was expected, but to lift goods from the homes into the streets. Vintondale is very quiet, it is said. There are a great many men not working but the company gives out the information that quite as large a number go into the mines each day.
