Troubles at Happy Hollow--Seven Per-
sons Arrested.

sons Arrested.
Sheriff Perkins returned to the CITY last
evening with his posse, and had in charge
seven persons. five wonderland two men,
whom he had captured at Happy Hollow,
on the charge of riotous and threatening
be haviour arising out Of the coal mining
troubles there. When the Sheriff left
this city,he, on Wednesday morning, pro
ceeded to WATERFOWL, where the engine
and caboose of the line running to the
mines, was placed at his disposal. The
matter was quietly arranged, and the in
tention to take any prisoners was kept as
much secret as possible. Some section
men with tools and material were taken
along in case of the track being in any
way disturbed.
About IL a. m. the special had arrived
at it's destination, at Happy Hollow, just
south of shaft No. 7, aud under the brow
of bill, on the summit of which the riot
Gus miners lived. The caboose was left
10 charge of an officer and the. railroad off
cials, and one end locked so that it might be
tured Sheriff Perkins then divided his
men. taking charge OF one squad himself
and making tor the cottages.in front, Mar
shall Fish of Moline 10 charge Of the other
squad went for them in rear, SO as to pre-
vent any retreat, Thus taken by surprise,
those wanted we're easily captured and
lodged in the caboose without any particu-
lar trouble except some tears and protest
ations on the part of some of the women,
but this did not last long and one woman
finished up by dancing a jig in the most
approved manner. The men were mostly
scattered about the neighborhood, and the
whole affair was so quietly managed that,
the prisoners who were quietly and indi-
vidualIy walked off in charge of an officer,
as taken. scarcely realized what was going
on TIL they were insthe caboose. Nothing
like resistance was offered and those who
gathered round took the matter as one of
rather humurous nature than otherwise.
Much of this is doubtless due to the man.
ner in which Sheriff Perkins. his assistants
and posse generally carried out the work
entrusted to them, which was in every
way well done,
1t was not deemed advisable to delay
for some others, for whom warrants were
out, who were not there; and so seven
prisoners with 10 some cases the children
eight in number) of the women, were
brought djwn here and lodged in Jail.
The train left Happy Hollow at noon and
the population had mostly all turned out
to see the captured oues off. and many
banteriDg remarks were made as the train
moved away. On the way down the pris
oners seemed very comfortable and even
j0ked about the Perkins House bill of
fare, sang songs and discussed their new
prospective quarters. All this was prob
ably species of temporary excitement.

and will have doubtless worn off ere this.
The names of those arrested are Miles
Thorn pson, Joseph Brawley, Mrs. Joseph
Brawley. Mary A. Smith, Mary A,
Bradigan, Jennie Murray aud Maggie
" hite.
At Watertown, as the train was on the
way down, Sheriff Perkins received two
dispatches from Hampton, stating that the
miners there were making threats, and
trouble was feared.
