Number of Coal Miners.

coal miners employed in the Bradling
mines in Cherry Valley, near here, were

mostly single men. Those deposed have
organized for the purpose of preventing
others from working. This afternoon
they appeared on the streets armed and
openly threatened to shoot the first man
attempting to enter the mines tomorrow.
They have the roads leading to the mines
patrolled and appear determined to carry
their threats into execution. This even

men, even If necessary to uSs arms. He
fears serious trouble unless force is used
to prevent it, and will probably appeal to
the Sheriff for protection.
