at Smiths camp on june 9:
eve find that George Kiskia came TO his

mend that Contractors Locker Jackson and

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. June 17.-Gov. Alt

islature in regard to the Lemont
strike and giving the facts about
the sending of troops TO the

kilograms received from the sheriffs
of Cook, Win and Du Page counties in
regard To the trouble, the governor
said that he was astonished to learn
that the kilograms sent by the sheriffs
of viii, Du Page and Cook
counties calling for troops were
absolute misstatements of the facts.
From all that he could learn about
the threatened trouble over IA miles of
territory the sheriff of Cook county has
but three deputies, the sheriff of Du
Page county none, and the sheriff of
Will five in the morning and seventeen
at night, yet they sent kilograms urg
ing the calling out of the troops He
continues:
III was very apparent to me after arriving
there that had the sheriffs made even moderate
efforts to- enforce the law and protect life and
property by calling on special deputies they
would have had no trouble at all; that instead OF
there being al one time 100 people there, riot
ers and all, il was doubtful whether there had
been at any time as many as loo people seen
there ana not ten of those could be charged
with riotng or violating the law; aud that in
fact there was no real ground for ordering out
the troops
IF the law does not already make the sherin
and his deputies liable for failing 10 make
proper effort 10 swear in special deputies when
1t is necessary protect life and property, then
the law should be so amended as to hold them
responsible"
