Homestead was made lively Saturday
night by five arrests, one being woman,
Mrs. Annie Watson, who now enjoys the
distinction of being the first woman arrested
as result of the strike. The men, whose
names are Jesse LantZ, Otto Greenwald,
John Mcfarland and Archibald Moorhead,
are charged with having shouted at non.
union men.
After arresting the men, Officers George
Rakestraw and David Smith, of the Coal
and Iron Police, started down City Farm
lane. They were met by Mrs. Watson and
her husband, who accused the officers OF
having showed their little boy off the side
walk. Mrs. Watson, IL is alleged, called he
officers scabs and black sheep. Rakestraw
placed the woman under arrest. The officers
and their prisoner were at once surrounded.
Major Crawford, acting provost marshal,
went TO the spot with squad of men, and
gave the officers and their prisoner safe es-
cort to provost headquarters. David Lynch
became Mrs. Watson's guarantee, and she
was allowed TO return TO her home.
Shortly after this arrest officers Rake
straw and Smith were placed under arrest
by two borough constables for being drunk
and disorderly. The officers resisted and
were surrounded by large crowd. Major
Crawford again went to the rescue. The
Major demanded the release of the men,
which was refused, The Major then drew
his revolver and at its point rescued the
two officers and csc ,rted them to his quar-
tiers. Members of the Advisory Board say
they are going to make 1t hot for Rake
