LEE C. THAYER.

The domestic trouble between Mr. and Mrs. Frank Boots has not been satisfactorily adjusted. It seams that Mrs. Boots left home again last Tuesday evening and went to Joe Willis' on North State street An Inquest was eall for today to inquire into her sanity. She employed Elmer J. Blnford to appear for her, but before the case was taken up |(r. Boots dismissed the case and paid the costs. The board of inquiry was composed of Justices Geary, of Greenfield, and Tinnel, of Maxwell, and Drs. Black and King. There will perhaps now be a .division of property and a petition for divorce. Bach family troubles are always to be regretted but especially so when they occur in families so well prepared to enjoy life.

The Stone Building Selected, anil Contracted For By the School Board.

Last night the Board contracted with Geake & Henry, of Ft. Wayne, for an all stone building and as they added several hundred dollars in extras to the specifications, they agreed to a slight advance in the contract price and closed at $29,400, which is indeed quite reasonable. Wabash has a school building which is ten feet smaller each way that costs them $87,000, but building is cheaper this year. The building grounds and furnishings will cost the city $35,000. It will be a building that will aid to the beauty and reputation of our city as progressive and prosperous. Such a building will make Greenfield more desirable as a place of residence and add to the value of the property of the city. The Board decided for stone. We commend their judgment, and citizens both in the present and future will have Sjcause to congratulate themselves on having a school board with the proper degree of public and progressive spirit.

DEMAND OF.MINERS.

An Entire Change of Asked For.

Officers

BOTH STATE AND NATIONAL.

A Stormy Meeting Anticipated at Terre Haute—Boy Mistaken For a Burglar and Shot—A Man Injured by Electricity—Operator Shot At—Barns Burned—Other

Indiana State News. KNIGHTSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 1.—The

United Mine Workers of Linton have passed resolutions, stating that in consideration of the disputes which have arisen and the distrust which prevails, there should be a new entire change of officers, both state and national, of the United Mine Workers of America. It was also resolved to withhold further payment of per capita tax, both state and national, until such change was made, and all local assemblies were requested to take similar action.

It is expected that at the meeting to be held on Friday at Terre Haute, which was called by the Sullivan county miners, an attack will be made on National President Penna, it being alleged that he is interested in a coal mine at Linton. This report has its foundation in the fast that the husband of Penna's sister operates a little bank mine at Linton, selling his product to consumers at Linton.

Many of the operators are paying 60 cents, although the recent conference at Terre Haute agreed on 51 cents, and this taken as an argument by the malcontents that there was no necessity for accepting 51 cents. A very stormy session is anticipated, as an attack is also expected to be made upon State President Pursell.

The coal operators have advices that nowhere in the state here will bituminous miners be paid 60 cents, the price for mining. This is to prevent the delegates in the convention at Terre Haute on Friday having an argument in favor of the 60 cents price.

The Sullivan county operators who agreed to pav the miners 60 cents and begin operating their mines have rescinded the offer and all the men are out. Both operators and miners expect to see a general strike by tomorrow night, except in the block coal field which gives employment to one-half the miners in the state and where the men are working on a special sliding scale.

BOY SHOT.

The Claim lie Was Burglarizing Denied by the Victim. GREENSBURG, Ind., Aug. 1.—Frank, the 12-year-old son of John Bohland, a prominent and well-to-do citizen of Batesville, received 86 shot Tuesday night from a gun in the hands of John Laughlin. His injuries will prove fatal.

Young Bohland claims, that about 11 o'clock, while he was returning from the house of a friend in the outskirts of town, a man standing in a dark spot oil the opposite side of the street ordered liim to halt. Fearing footpads, he started to run, when the .shot was fired.

Laughlin was arrested, and he claims that young Bohland was trying to offoct an entrance in his lioase, when he called to him, and upon Bohland starting- to run, he fired. The occurrence is the cause of a great deal of excitement and startling developments may follow.

Man Badly Shocked.

BLI-FFTON, Ind., Aug. 1.—Martin Mvlott of Decatur was badly inj ared last night while at work at the electric light plant. By a misstep he got the forefinger and thumb of his right hand in the armature, receiving the full 1,800 volts. The skin on his finger and thumb is burned so that it peels off, while his right arm is burned to the elbow, so that it is painful to move. Had he been standing on the ground his body would have received the full amount of the shock, which wo aid have caused insiaut death.

PORTLAND. Ind., Aug. 1.—A large barn un 'die Aaron Brown tarm, at West Chester, burned last evening. Twenty tons of hay and a large amount of straw and farming implements, together with a valuable Jior.se, were consumed.. Lu.s.s, $2-,000 insurance, $400.
