rspEC1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHi
DERRY, June 25.-This town is agog over
recent developments near here. Mr.. NJ. II.
Dewitt, oil operator of Pittsburg. leased
the property of one Beltz about year ago.
His lease expired about five or six months
ago. Since the exIiration of DEWITT
lease Mr.. Ben C. Slocum, Jr., sand agent
for Chambers & Mckee, discovered a ledge
of sand rock on the same property, and
secured lease. He is now engaged build
ing a sand crusher at the foot OF the Chest
nut Ridge, and is about to begin the erection
of an incline to connect the ledge with the
crusher below. Last Saturday Dewitt and
a couple of gentlemen arrived, and after
prospecting few days made preparations
to take possession of the ledge and hold it
BY force against Mr.. Slocum. They had
made arrangements to have lumber hauled
up this morning, and had engaged carpen-
ters to build shanty on the ledge, and had
engaged men to hold it against Slocum's
force.
But Mr.. Slocum was not sleeping. He
got wind of the move, and believing that
possession was nIne-tenths of the battle, Sc
cured teams and force of men and went up
last night at II o'clock and built shanty
on the highest point of the ledge and
awaited the coming of the enemy. When
DeWitt's men arrived they were prepared
to receive them and warned them to keep
off the grass" This they refused to do, but
built their fort on lower ground.
Both parties are now encamped on dis
puted territory and trouble is anticipated
tomorrow, as any move made by either
party will be resisted by the other, both par
ties being determined to maintain their po-
sition. The citizens of Derry are to a man
in sympathy with Mr.. Slocum, as to him
alone is due the discovery of this glass
sand rock and by his efforts the crusher and
incline, or Sand Rock Railroad, as it is
called, have been located. They will sup
port him in any move he may make.

FRANKLIN, June 25.-For some time
past reign of terror has been upon the

named Sutton came upon two of the sheep
killers on the Pittsburg road, near Clinton
vile, and quickly dispatched them.
They were nearly full-blooded bull, male

As pounds respectively. They have killed
enough sheep to eat up the dog tax for sew
eral years to come.

EVERY MAN DREW A KNIFE.
A Serious Riot of Italian Laborers Arrested
at Brilliant.


at Brilliant.
BRILLIANT, O., June 25.-There were
grave fears OF riot among the railroad men
here last night. 1t seems the contractors
had delayed paying the Italian hands for
some days, putting them off with promises.
Yesterday the men demanded their pay, or
they would strike in the evening. All ar
rangements were made to pay, when one
Italian boy got very angry at the way he
had been docked. The Italians crowded
around the boss, and demanded that the
boys statement of his time be taken instead
of that of the time keeper. The boss pulled
his revolver and ordered all to stand back,
which they refused to do, and in an instant
every man had drawn a knife with which be
threatened to carve the boss.
That gentleman finally succeeded in get
ting into his Office unharmed and the crowd
dispersed. An amicable adjustment was
made, and the men were paid off and are at
work to-day.
