UNIoNTowN (Pa.), April 2O.-There was
considerable rioting at Leith and Leisen-
ring No. to-day because of attempted evic-

garian women, who fought like tigers
against the Sheriffs forces. At one time
the Sheriff called for troops, but the trouble
Quieted down and the order was counter
manded.

rested to-day. When the constabes took
them to the train to be brought here their
wives and other women to the number of
forty or fifty poured into the coaches and
took possession. The women refused to
pay their fare, and the trainmen, after inef-
fectual efforts to eject them, ran the coaches
on a side track and going 10 Vances june

small riots throughout this region. Women
