bus agreement wal Mount Olive, Ill.
Strikers there interfered with the
running OF coal trains on q road which
Is in the hands of q receiver, and
threatened other lawlessness. Deputy
United States marshals from Chicago
went down TO enforce order, but were
routed Saturday in . pitched battle.
Governor Altge1d then ordered out the
Seventh Regiment, I. N. e., and the
troops reached the scene Monday
morning. Then the marshals revenged
themselves on the strikers. Forty ar
rests were made. and the troops took
charge OF the prisoners. 1t Is expect
ed that fully as many more will be ap.
pretended. Almost without exception
the miners arrested are non-English
Germans. The miners we're fright
enc ever before the arrival of the
boys in blue. In the morning a large
~ attended meeting had been held and
u telegram had been sent to Governor
Altgeld asking him to have the troops
called home and agreeing to surrender
al, the prisoners that HAD been taken
fir. M United States Marshal Br. nton
and his deputies Saturday night.
These who wee foremost in the as
sault upon the marshals were now in
mo t ab;ect fear of the troops. They
knew enough to be aware of the fact that
In interfering with a government Off
cialthey had committed q grave offense.
Deputy She iff Henry Hitler has State
warrants for o than one hundred
additional strikers. He has a large
force OF deputy sheritfs with him, and
he will prosecute the search until he
is satisfied that every mar in Mount
Olive who i~ntimidated train crews or
interfered with traffic in any way has
been arrested. 1t is feared that. many
of the guilty will secretly leave the
city.
After the troops arrived and pitched
camp in the yard of the 2ion Evangel-
list Church, the real work began. Mar
shall Brinton had United States war;
rants for the + -ur men whom he and
his deputies had under arrest for a
short tims on Saturday.. He also had
an order from Judge w. o. Allen, OF
the United States District Court at
Springfield, to arrest everybody who
the rescue II the four prisoners on
Saturday evening.
III you WANT to make some arrests"
said Colonel Colby, Il have some men
ready to take care of them. This was
addressed to Marshal Brinton and Act
ing Sheriff Hitler. BY this time the
Old-fashioned board fence around the
churchyard bore a wall of humaeity.
The deputy marshals and deputy sher-
IFS had been carefully Watching tho
faces of the men along the fence.
Among them was an old man with a
sneer on his face, and in broken Ger
man he was mccking the Commands of
the officers of the guard. Two deputy
marshals walked out to VIII re he was
standing. One got each side of him
and re was made q prisoner. He pro-
e,ted against his arrest, but he was
hurried back tn the west side of the
churchyard and placed in care OF the
guard.
"1ll never forget that fellow" said
Marshal Brinton. "For an instant last
Saturday evening I was of the opinion
that he was the instrument by which I
was to be ushered into eternity. In
the thick OF the fight, when we were
trying. to retain our prisoners, he
showed q revolver into my face and
held it there long enough for me to
feel its muzzle grating against my
teeth. How 1t happened I do not know,
but one OF the deputies managed to
knock the gun from his murderous
grasp. am sur that this action saved
my life.' Rapidly the prisoners were
brought in, and as familiar faces APP
peared the mob Of women around the
fence jeered ut the soldiers in a frenzv.
The prisoners are in all at Springfield
and Carlinville.
