There are no women re- ported missing in St. Louis now. But if the woman Were a resident of some other city the report of her being missing might not be Made for many days.” Detectives and police worked all Thurs- day afternoon and Thursday night to dis- cover the identity of the woman who was nssaiulted.at the corner of Twenty-second and Olfve streets. Tnere were four eye- witnesses ‘0 the assault, whose etatements were printed in the Post-Dispatch Thurs- day. These witnesses repeated their state- ments to Detectives Keeley amd Cordell, who have worked constantly on the case. After getting the statements of the five : witnesses who were quoted in Thurs- ' ~day’s Post-Dispatch, Detectives Keeley and Wordell visited every doctor's office in that neighborhood. They could find no trace of any woman who had been : wounded, They also visited every house in that vicinity where a death had occurred. They could find no person who had died from any wo€nd The detectives learned that the cab which bore the wounded woman away was drawn y a white horse and a baw. They throught they made an important discovery when they located Joe Nelson. He is cab driver and thas a white horse and a bay. e also carried A man and a woman picked up in that neighborhood at about the samé hour. But when Nelson was seen it was learned that his man was a negro while the woman was white. They were sened up at Nineteenth and Pine streets, our blocks distant. Nelson said he did not drive out Olive street, He crossed on Nineteenth stréet to Locust and drove west on Locust. Neither the man nor woman were injured and they were not quarrel- ing. He drove them to Dickson street and let them out in the middle of the block phe Setectives ware pomvincds? that Nelson 0 connection with the Tw '-8eC and Olive street mystery.

CARLINVILLE, Ill, Oct. 7.—Acting Gov- ernor Northcott has;advis«d Sheriff Daven- port to go to Virden, to disarm every man in the city, and to compel all persons whom he considers dangerous to the peace to leave. But the Sheriff doesn’t like to try it with the small force of deputies avalil- able: neither does he like the idea of call- ing on the State for troops. The advice from Northcott came by tele- phone yesterday, when the Sheriff calied him over the wire to tell him that the num- ber of visiting strikers in Virden had been increased to fully 2500, a majority of whom were believed to be armed. The Sheriff told the Governor that it would be Impossible to secure a sufficient number of townspeople to serve as dep- uties, in case of trouble with the strikers, and that he doubted whether any consider- able number of farmers would answer his | summons. He was advised, in any event, | to call on whatever number of citizens he wthought necessary to preserve the peace, and, in each case of refusal, to report the | delinquent to the State's Attorney, Whose duty it would be to prosecute the declining side. : But all this advice doesn’t alter the Sheriff's opinion that an effort to disarm | 00 determined men would mean murder in some direction, even though he had the people of the county at his back, and he is sure that he can’t have them there. He | has the recourse of deputizing the special guards brought from Chicago by the op- erators and now inside the stockade at the Chicago-Virden Co.'s shaft, but this he positively refuses to do. The Sheriff's distrust of these guards is such that he has placed trusted deputies in charge of the 200 guns and 2000 pounds of powder of the State inside the stockade, with in- structions to deliver the small arsenal to nobody save upon direct order from him- elf. “The strikers had direct information yes- terday from trusted spies in the vicinity of Granite City that box cars had gone through there bound north. The friends of the miners et Godfrey said the same cars’ were sent north from there on the Kansas City branch, and the miners believe this simply a blind, and that the negroes will be returned under the cover of dark- ness. The State organization of the miners has sent $2000 to the men concentrated at Virden, and it is costing $80 per meal to serve them with bare necessities. Nearly all the men are sleeping on the ground without shelter. It is reported here that the State Federa- | tion of Labor ts preparing to send $10,000 and 8000 guns, With ammunition, to Vir- den, but this is not verified. TRAIN ATTACKED BY MINERS. -_—-_--—- eo All Saloons Closed to Guard Against Any Outbreak. VIRDEN, IDL, Oct. 7.—Armed miners from other towns to the number of 2000 re- main in the city. The men are peaceable and quiet, but all saioons were closed yesterday to guard against any possibile outbreak. W. D. Ryan, State Secretary of the Min- ers’ Union, is still in the city in confer- ence with the men. It is apparent that, cones aled within the State somewhere, probably in box cars. is a body of imported negroes for the Chi- cago-Virden shaft. The miners yesterday morning attacked a Chicago & Alton freight train passing into the stockade, there being over 30 shots fired. Two of the deputies from the stackade ventured up town. They were promptly surrounded and marched to Girard, where they were allowed to take the train. Dele- gations from other mining districts are coming and going continuously. TRYING TO BOYCOTT PANA COAL -_~>---— Cars Leaving the City Have Been Marked “Scab” With Chalk. PANA, Ill, Oct. 7.—The union miners and various jJabor organizations have adopted plans for a more vigorous war against the blacks ard the mine operators.

But his prospects were deluged in drink, | and he gradually sank lower and lower, yet to his dying day, retaining many of the gentiemanly instincts that were inculcated by birth and early training. Ray Smith came of a highly respectable} famiiy. His father is the proprietor of a Michigan summer _§ resort hotel and a brother of the dead man is a prominent corporation attorney in Philadelphia. Re- latives have been notified and they may order burial by wire. The saddest page in Smith's unfortunate | | history is the extremes to which his once | faithful wife has been driven. She is now living On Olive street and has disown d the name of Smith. Once, When Smith cut the arteries of his right wrist, his wife saved his life by tight- ly binding a towel about the incisions. She shared hi stroubles, brought on by drink, for several vears. She once lived with him a week with nothing but bread crusts and water for food. The limit of her endurance was reached, Mrs. Smith left her husband to fight her own battle with the worid. She has not been at the Morgue to lock upon the ghastly, upturned face. Of late years Smith had worked as an advertising solicitor during his sober periods.
