! back the crowd which completely sur
\ rounded the train. All the way up to
/ the mouth of Wheeling creek sticks
and stones and percussion caps were
\ placed upon the rails and the advance
/ guard was kept busy clearing the track.
At the curve iD the road near the
/ Schmulbach brewery a telegraph pole
\ was placed across the track, and a
sQusd Of military had to be called upon
\ TO remove 10. At the La Belle mill q
/ pile Of cross ties on the track had TO be
\ removed, aud az the Wheeling pottery
q railroad bar was found across the
/ track. The smaller obstructions were
| countless, and the run up town was ex-
/ ceadingly slow and tedious.
The troops were subjected to some
/ very rough treatment on the march.
| They were jeered and guyed and re-
ceived an almost continuous shower OF
stones thrown by small boys. Several
I Of the men were struck by missiles and
| one received a slight cash just above
\ the eve, aud another was hit IN the
mouth. No one was seriously hurt.
I The-e was no attempt 10 stop the train
/ but the crowd followed it closely all the
Y way.
AT the mouth Of Wheeling creek the
train halted. Sheriff Franzheim had
\ had a conference with the officials and
| some Of the miners, aud at his request
/ the military were Withdrawn. Sheriff
/ Franzheim mounted the train with
I two deputies and il pulled out over
I the Pittsburg division without guard
/ except the Sheriffs. The train reac he'd
| the Pennsylvania line in safety and
the Sheriff returned.
Chief McNiuhol, Lieutenant Ter
relI, and six or eight officers were with
| the train on its way mp town, and at the
/ creek they fell in line with the forces
| Of the Sheriff, and aided very matert-
/ ally in getting the trains through town.
/ After the coal train was safely out OF
| the way, many OF the crowd fingered
} about the b. q o. depot at the mouth
/ Of the creek, while others went back to
/ the center Of excitement AZ Boggs' run.
| The soldiers also went back, and re-
\ ioined their comrades at the Marshall
county line, where a strong detail had
\ been left on guard with the gatling
gun. The disorder there was well
maintained by couple Of hundred men
aud a few women who were standing
I about, but beyond applying all sorts OF
vile epithets 10 the soldiers, nothing was
done
Soon after noon Lieutenant Terrill
and eight police officers again reached
the vicinity Of FOrty-eightb street, and
wore Joined later by Chief McNichol.
Aoaut haIf-past eleven Company q,
Capt. Shriver, OF Bethany, arrived In
r.a city, and were marched to a restau-
-r.r for dinner. A little later Company
ID. of Warrington, arrived, and these
. two and one or two other Companies
also went 20 dinner, while General Spill
man, Col. :. B. Baker, Assistant Adju-
tert General p. Y. Neal, Col. &. b.
3 ueOaugh. Major Willis, and one or
Jw0 others took dinner In Supt. EItz'
ggra.C's car.
About two O'Clock, the troops up
town having been again embarked on
train at the depot, they were Joined By
Sheriff Franzheim and half a dozen dep
uties. a telegraph operator, and REG
ISrER reporter, and the train pulled out
/ for Boggs' run at 2:40 p. IN. They
made the run down without incident.
} There was big crowd at the depot
wards 10 see them of, but beyond a
muttered curse or two, here and there,
I there was no disposition 70 moieSt the
soldiers.
Arriving at Forty-seventh street,
where the cars with the gattllng gun
and the remainder Of the infantry
were located, quite a big crowd was
encountered, and they seemed TO be IN
I the same ugly mood as in the morning.
I The soldiers were cursed very freely, a
good many OF the mob having a sur
prisingIy diversified vocabulary OF pro-
/ family at their command. Just as the
Sheriff aud his deputies got of the car,
| a man IN his shirt sleeves, who stood on
! the porch of a frame house, just above
Forty-eiChth street, on the east side OF
railroad track, broke out into a torrent
Of indiscrimjnate abuse, of very
profane nature, Sheriff Franzheim went
/ into the yard, aud asked him TO shut
uU, but he refused, and VIXEN the Sheriff
/ told him who be was. the fellow said he
didn't care a d-n" who be was. The
Sheriff started for him, when the man
ran into the house, drawing a revolver
/ as be went. The Sheriff, followed by
several deputies, opened the door with
/ out ceremony, when they found the man
had ran through the house and out the
back way. Two or three deputies fol-
| lowed around the house, and catching
sight Of the fleeing man, COM
mauded him 10 halt. lie
kept on, and shot was
| fired at him, followed by two more, but
none OF the bullets took effect, and the
| fugitive GOT across the line into Marshall
county, despite the attempts of several
police who tried TO head him OF, and
escaped.
The incident aroused 8 good deal CT
excitement and drew a large number Of
people to the spot, but at the same time
/ it seemed TO sober the crowd down. AT
/ any rate there was less cursing at the
soldiers, aud the crowd soon began to
drift away.
At the depot soon after the coal
/ train brought up in the morning had
been gotten ont OF the way, Sherih
Franzheim requested General Spilman
/ 70 withdraw his troops from Ohio
| county, as they had not been asked 10
come here, aud the civil authorities
we're deemed sufficient to preserve the
! peace. This the General consented to
90, and soon after the shooting incident
three cars Of soldiers, including the pri-
vate car Of Superintendent Fitzgerald,
used as headquarters, we're sent
/ across the line into Marshall
county. An hour later the remainder
/ OF the soldiers were also sent across the
I line. and the whole force was cOncen-
trated In the upper end Of the BOggS'
run yards There telegraph Office
was rigged up 10 car, and line car
ried up q neighbOring pole, and the
