CRIME RECORD.
A MOB OF WOMEN.

ing TWO abreast, and armed with stout
| clubs, appeared on the scene, and after
| some alteration compelled the men to de-
slst, and work was not started. A sherif's
posse was driven back by the women, and
the latter are now in possession of the
mine. A detachment of militia are now in
East St. Louis, and the detachment will be
| sent to Rosehill to restore order and pro-
tect the men who desire to work.
After completing their work at Rosehill
and leaving guard there to see that the
mandate was carried out, they marched to
! Reinekes mine, No. l, three miles from
Belleville, and being reinforced by large
number of strikers drove out the men
working there. 1t is reported they tore up
the railroad switch and threatened to burn
! the surface work of the mine, but OF this
| nothing definite is known.
The mob at this point is said to be in
creasing rapidly and now number several
hundred, including about 100 women, who
are the most upmanagable Of the crowd
and are beyond the control Of the civil au
thorities.
The sheriff has telegraphed for the mill
tary and it is understood here that some Of
the militia at East st. Louis will be sent
out as soon as a special train can be made
up. It is not known that any actual vio-
lencs was done by the women, but it is
known that the work in the mine was
stopped and some very ugly threats made
regarding the consequences of any attempt
to resume.
At Narissa, fifteen miles beyond Belle
vile. crowd Of miners appeared in the
morning and demanded work should cease.
The deputy sheriff, who was present with
a civil posse told them that any interior.
ence on their part with the working of the
mine, would simply result infringing out
military force who would arrest all dis
turbers, and advised them to retire. This
they considered good advice and withdrew,
leaving the mine in the peaceable posses
sion of the men who were working it.
Gov. Hamilton sent Col. Barclay with
three com anies of militia from East st.
Louis, and they arrived at the scene of
trouble on train at p. N. The women
were massed on bluff where the mining
company's buildings were located, and $50
men strikers were near the railroad track,
all being armed With heavy canes. When
the train stopped Sheriff Anthony clam
bered upon the platform and shouted to
the strikers, Il arrest you all in the name
of the law" The answer was pistol shot
from the strikers, the ball breaking car
window. COL Barclay replied with his re-
volver, when without further orders the
troops discharged their breech-loaders on
the mob, who fed down
the railroad embankment through
the weeds, took ditch ten feet wide and
run like deers. One of the strikers was
shot clear through the head. A man
named Shay was wounded in the leg, and
the militia pursued and captured eighteen
of the strikers who were taken to Belleville
where they will be tried for riot. One
militiaman got slight flesh wound in the
melee. The women become very turbu-
lent. Great excitement prevails at Belle
vile and 200 miners there marched the
streets at the tap of the drum, and in a
meeting speakers denounced the firing by
the militia.
Another account says it was a pitched
battle and 500 shots were exchanged, and
adds to the injured half dozen men seri-
ously wounded. The fight occurred at
Reineke, small station on the Louisville
& Nashville road. This account says Sher-
if Anthony was pleading with them to
dispense when they I:ed on him.
