THE COAL CREEK WAR.
Origin of the Troubles, and the Sit
UatiOn.

|
National Associated Press to the Star
| INDIANAPOLIS, June 20-The origin of the
trouble at the Coal Creek mines was through
a strike in March, 1877, and was occasioned
by the mining firm of Phelps & Co. and
other parties owning mines in the vicinity
reducing the wages of their employees, who
were principally Welsh, English, Irish and
Swedish Union miners The employees re-
fused to accept the reduction, and no com
promise being effected they struck.
Phelps & Co. Immediately employed lot
of negroes to take the places of the striking
miners, which caused howl to go up from
the latter. Since that time trouble has oc,
CURED frequently between the whites and
blacks, and some weeks ago it eliminated
in the murder of Phil Cozzins, colored
MINER and the wounding of several of his
companions. The parties who did the kill,
ing were members of the Wabash Guards, a
recently formed militia company, composed
largely of miners These members got
their arms and made this raid unauthorized
by their officers. Several arrests were
made and all were acquitted, principally on
the testimony of Frank Kelly, all examiner.
Several who were known to have taken a
part in the shooting were dropped from
membership. Quiet prevailed for some
time the negroes in the meantime receiving
supply of Springfield rifles from Chicago.
The present troubles originated Saturday
last by killing the witness mentioned. He
came upon party of colored miners who
were engaged in a game of cards, drew a
navy revolver and shot twice at one of the
party named Tom Mills, one shot taking
effect in the abdomen and proving fatal
the next day. He continued firing at the
party, wounding more. The negroes hav-
ing guns near at hand got them and pursued
Kelly, who received a Slight wound. Kelly
took refuge in the house of Chas. Habber-
man.
A white miner, VIM. Grissdale, who was
in company with Kelly, was also pursued,
and took shelter in the same house. The
firing then ceased, the colored miners hold
ing Kelly prisoner till Sheriff Potts arrived,
who proceeded to arrest the entire party of
negroes, Kelly taking his liberty. The
Deputy Sheriff had the assistance of the
dropped members of the militia company
in making the arrests and marched them to
Covington. The Wabash Guards were
brought on the scene, and visited Pardee'
shaft and several negro quarters seizing all
guns to be found on the various premises,
and patrolling the streets of Stringtown dur
ing the night.
Mills death occurring Sunday after
noon, Kelly was arrested by Col. James
Mcnamara and committed on the charge
of murder. His examination came up
yesterday morning and the excitement
was raised to frightful pitch Officers of
justice, feeling unable to preserve the peace
with the means at hand, a request was sent
to Gov. Williams for aid, which was COM
piled with by sending the indianapolis
Light Infantry by special train at 2 p m.
