sous or property. There was q rumor
this morning that fifteen men had been
killed at Buchtel but it lacks con6rma.
tion and probably there is nothing in the
report. Telegraphic communication is in
good shape. This morning it was learned
that there was continued firing early
last night between the strikers and
guards at Sand Run and Longstreet, but
it is not learned yet that any person
was injured. The governor arrived here
on special train early this morning and
is disposed to learn all he can about the
situation before ordering more troops on
the ground. He is accompanied by his
private secretary and a representative of
the associated press. The governor held
a consultation with the sheriff aud the
leading citizens of Logan this morning.
He says he has formed no definite con.
clusion as yet from the talks he had, but
he will make circuit of the miner to.

both sides. He will be accompanied by
the sheriff, Judge Friesner and others.
Frank Woody is in Jail here, arrested
for participating in the riot Saturday
night and for shooting VIM. Hart. One
of the guards made full confession this
morning in which he has given the names
OF five or six of the leaders OF the attack
on Saturday night. SheGff Mccarthy
will furnish the names of those impli-
Gated as soon as the arrests can be made.

of the militia about the jail seems to
have had the effect to make him weaken.

Of violence against them are growing more
and more open. Governor Hoadley' Is

strikers.
Straitsville, Ohio, Sept. Judge
Friesner, of Logan, who IS in
consultation with Gov. Hoadley, thinks
the worst of the trouble in the valley is
over. The governor says Friesner is
charged with a great deal, responsibility
and considers his opinion of considerable
force. The governor left Logan at 9:3C

Before leaving he telegraphed to all
points that lie wanted to meet the prom.
inent miners and hear their side of the
story, At all the stations large num-
bers of miners were out to meet the

gregated. The greatest interest pre-:
vailed and the governor began holding
private consultations with representa-
tive miners. The president of this dis
