Riot at Iron Works id Shenandoah.
On Tuesday afternoon, a party of five
armed men visited Columbia Furnace ore
bank, IN Shenandoah, to stop the work
men there because the proprietors, Messrs
John Wissler Il Son. had employed colored
labor. By threats these men induced some
of the white laborers to stop work, someof
whom joined them. From there, their
number being increased to forty, they
proceeded to Liberty Furnace. There
they fred on the colored hands and woun-
ded two. Justice J. Fl. Grabill, on hear
ing of this work promptly issued war
rant for the five men, which was placed in
the hands of Deputy Sheriff, Peter Hosh-
our. who left on Tuesday night to execute
it. Wednesday morning, message came
from the iron works asking for the military
to stop the rioters. Sheriff Stickley tele-
graphed Gov. Holiday for authority and

The Anderson Guards, under Capt. Ma

were adjusted. The Messrs Wissler say

commenced. Besides the Woodstock compa-

much less than it at first promised to be.
