PUNxsUTAwEEY, Pa, June 21.-Wal-
ston tonight contains about 1900 for
eigners, who are in an attitude far from
peaceable. The mine officials are pow
erless. and the Huns are running things
at the mines to suit themselves. An adj
ditional lot of firearms we're purchased
today, and the hardware merchants
could have sold hundred Winchesters
il they had had them. Very few
English speaking miners are now in
Walston. The citizens of Punxsutaw-
ney and Walston are much alarmed at
the present critical sitstion. The pump
ers are compelled to leave the pumps
and the mines are rapidly filing with
water.
John Snyder, mine superintendent at
Walston, was compelled to leave and
has been staying in this town. The mi
Iitia is expected tomorrow. The for
eigners understand the troops are COM
ing, and the highway leading from this
place to Walston is swarming with
hordes of Italians and Huns, who are
greatly agitsted. The greatest fear is
1ow that there will be an attack upon
the Engiish-spesking miners and their
families. They have been driven from
their bomes, and in the darkness fathers
and husbands have been separated from
wives and children and the children are
running around crying for protection.
