STRIKER’S WIFE KILLED.

Deputy Marshal Fires Into a Crowd of Women with Fatal Result. Phillipsburg, Pa., Aug. I.—Jennie Jones, wife of a striking coal miner, was killed by a shot fired by James Myers, a deputy sheriff. Immediately after the shooting Myers fled into the mine. It will be difficult to save him from death at the hands of the enraged strikers, who swear that they will avenge the death of the woman. The Pardee mine was to have resumed with nonunion men, and deputies, including Myers, were commissioned to guard those who were going into the mine. Maddened by the jeers of the women who assembled about the entrance to the mine, Myers fired into the crowd with the result already stated.
