General Brooks Arrives on the Scene IL
in ohio-w-st Virginia Troops Ordered
Out
CRIPPLE CREES, June 9--At noon yes
terday General Brooks, Mt the head of the
state troops, Intercepted the deputies on
the east slope of Carbondale ltll and or
dered Sheriff Bowers to send them back
20 camp in Beaver park Only few mo-
ments OF parleying took place, during
which Brooks notified Bowers that unless
he sent his men back to camp he (l'rooks)
would take thrm back. The state troops
made remarkably q.,ck time up the east
side of Cow mountain and headed Gen
eral Adams and his company of deputies
just ms they were taking up their position
on the northeast side of Grassy Gulch
preparatory to opening fire on Bull noun
tain, three-fourths of mile away, in open
view of the Notifications The militia
now holds the key 20 the situation, and
they are camped at the head of Grassy
Gulch, in full view of the miners fortiii-
cations. telegram has been sent to the
governor asking for permission 10 march
OH to Bull Hill
This last experience of the deputies
with the militia probably ends tho struE-
gle, as General Brooks has absolute con-
troll of the situation, and his orders are
for the state troops to prevent a meeting
of the miners and deputies The greater
portion of the deputies will probably be
sent home today, as the backbone of the
strike is broken.
The excellent conduct of the state
troops, acting upon the polite order of
General Brooks, has greatly tempered the
Rnimosity that the deputies and the
strikers have felt toward each other, and
the chances for n conflict are more remote
than for any time since the forces arrived.
The militia, from Its position between the
two armies, has moved SO as to prevent
either side making an attack, and they
have executed their orders In such a po-
litic manner that they have won the re-
gard OF the strikers. Several times the
deputies began an advance, but were cut
of by the troops. At one time General
Brooks rode down the front of the depu-
ties and his bearing and words were OF
such nature that when he departed the
men gave him three cheers
The deputies have ut all times been de-
sirous Of advancing and serving warrants,
even II in order to do so it should become
necessary to engage in pitched battle.
The good work of General Brooks is best
Illustrated by the number of times he has
prevented n general engagement. The
warlike attitude OF the miners is so fai
changed that many of those for whom
warrants have been issued have scattered
IA NIL direct ions, and it ia not at all likely
that Sheriff Bowers will find many Of this
men whom he wants.
This is the situation at the point whore
General Brooks and the troops are located
AT other places the militia is ready to fire
upon either strikers or deputies, as or
dered, aud the strikers and deputies ARE
still euger for conflict. The strikers thu.
disposed are the minority, but an inad
Ycrtcut move on the other side may pre-
cipitate n sharp conflict.
General Brooks had conference witt
the strikers last night. lie has accepted
their surrender. but did not disnrn them
The militia will surround Bull Hill so M
TO keep back the deputies. Many of tht
latter hHye become disgusted and deserted
