Against the Deputies Who At
tempt Evictions in the Coke
Region.
PITTsBURG, Pa, April 20.-To-day
was prolific of excitement and small
riots throughout the region. The wom-
en- generally are leading and most bitter
in their attacks on the deputies. Here
tofore they have been silent, but when
evictors attacked their homes, foreign
women especially were driven wild.
During several sQuabbles to-day a
couple of deputies were struck with
stones, and one was cut on the arm
while pushing his way through a crowd.
But few evictiOnS were made, as the
sheritfs evidently fear opposition, and
are gathering larger forces of dep
uties. In anticipation of trou-
bic. when the evictions and
arrests are made at Leisenring to-mor-
row, the force of deputies is being
largely increased. There are also fears
of trouble at Adelaide, where number
of eviction notices will also expire to-
morrow. There is report in circula-
ton this evening that Pinkerton de-
tectives will be imported into the region
and stationed at works where efforts
are being made to resume. Master

leaving that point. But little of conse-
quence was done at the Whitney plants
this afternoon, owing TO the raiding of
the cOmpany's forces by the strikers.
The labor leaders do not have
much to say about the cOroner'S

noon. John McSloy, worthy foreman
of tue United Mine workers, has had

intent to kill and assault and battery.
from UniontoWn, Pa, says: The boys
Of Company G spent quiet night at the
armOry and the forenoon passed with
out incident, but they were startled at
$3.50 O'clock this afternoon by an order
from Sheriff Mccormick to move at once
to Leith. Mccormick had gone up at
o'clock to make several evictions, and
the order to the troops meant that there
was trouble. This was Immediately
countermanded to the great relief
of the soldiers. The trouble at Leith
arose over the determination of Andy
Dunsko not to be eyicted peaceably, and
garian women in the neighborhood.
The sheriff had evicted Joseph Hart
man, who offered no resistance, but
when he attempted to enter Dunsko's
house he was met by the women, who
rushed at him and struck him with
their fists and any weapons that came
handy. One braWny woman aimed a
blow at the sheriff'S head with Ratchet
which barely missed its mark. The
sheriff rushed to the company Office,
armed himself and sent a deputy to
hurry up the troops, but the women
begged him to reconsider. Deputy
Crawford went to Leisenrng, No. 2. to-
day to serve the injunction papers on
thirty-two of the strikers engaged
i'll the riot there Saturday morn
ing. Closely in his wake came
Constable Chick TO arrest the
rioters. Twenty-six of the latter wer
arrested and taken on board the train
by the constable. when their wives and
the wives of other strikers, to the num-
Der of forty or fifty, poured into the
two coaches and took possession. The
women refused to pay their fares or get
off, and the trainmen, after making a
number of Intellectual efforts to unload
them, finally ran the train onsa side
track, cut off the coaches, prisoners and
all. and came on the engine to Vance's
Mills junction and reported the situa-
ton to railroad headquarters. The
engineer brought the engine to Union
town with Constable Chick and three of
his prisoners aboard. Nothing has been
heard of the train load left behind. Late
tonight telephone message was sent
from Lemont to Leisenring No. 2 noti-
flying the deputies and company Off
Gals there that $50 strikers had just left
Lemont for .Leisenring, and riot is i'm
minent. Adjt Gen. McClelland this
afternoon telegraphed to the governor:
