Grant attitude. About the governors
office the Populists there declared that
the arrest Of Calderwood would only
add fuel to the hatred of tine miners
and would make the contest all the
more bloodthirsty. Calderwood came
under flag Of truce, they declare, and
should not be subjected to arrest. But
the civil authorities look upon the man
not as belligerant but as an accom-
plice in conspiracy that has already
resulted in highway robbery, arson, de-
struction Of property and in murder.
Governor Waite said today that be
had taken no official action and it is
not believed that he will declare mar
tial law, point which is declared to
be illegal. Strong pressure has steadily
been brought to bear upon him to get
him to agree to back up Sheriff Bowers
with the militia, a move he is loath to
make.
When Governor Waite reached
Palmer Lake he sent the following tel
egram to Adjutant General Tarsney,
thinking that Sheriff Bowers had made
the request for troops:
PALMER LAKE, Jnne 2. - To General
Tarsney,or Officer in Command at Armory:
No National guards must be called out by
Hogle or Kincaid.

Governor and Commander lu Chief.
MILITIA AT .CANNELLsBURG.
CANNELLsBURG. Ind, June 3-The
National Guards of Indiana sent by
Governor Matthews to put stop to
the further interference Of coal mine
strikers with the passage Of coal laden
trains through the city, arrived here this
morning. The train was side-tracked
one mile east of the city and the 45O
citizen soldiers disem mbarked and
marched down the railroad
track where all the trouble has
been, but on entering the city
found no army of riotous strikers to
oppose their march or give them any
work to do. Scattered on and off the
track, however, were counted twenty
six strikers to whom Sheriff Lemihg
read the restraining order issued ut
Washington last Thursday by Judge
Heffer's. Friends of the strikers In
indianapolis had forswarnsd them of
the approach Of the militia, which ac-
counted for the disappearance of the
200 or 300 former rioters.
The sheriff set out to find four men
who had been leaders in the disturb
ance and for whom he had warrants.
After much difficulty he caught w. R.
Summers. justice of the peace for the
local township. and Dick Gade, who
have been leading the strikers in their
lawless interference with the property
of the railroads, and John Flynn, a
striker. The warrants charge them
with riotous conspiracy and con tempt
of Judge Heffsr's mandate.
Immediately after the arrival of the
troops the officials of the Baltimore
and Ohio Southwestern railroad began
to move the coal cars which had been
side-tracked by the strikers. The
presence Of the armed force awed the
strikers. nearly all of whom remained
in their homes, but the women and
children belonging to the strikers
families gathered alongside of the
trsck hooting mt the railroad men,
militia and sheriff, while the work OF
removing trains was in progress.
