Spring VALLEY, Ills, July 1l.-Affairs
here are taking on an ominous look.
The miners have so inundated all classes
OF the people with threats of what will
happen after the troops are removed TINT
every obstacle is placed in the pathway OF
the soldiers, and all classes act in hostile
manner. Mayor jackson, who is evil
IDENTITY tcrrorized, ordered the soldiers ont
of town, but they refused to obey. The
telegraph operator was frightened away,
and one of the soldiers is at the key.
The storekeepers have been made to re-
fuse to sell supplies to the troops, and the
latter have, in consequence, taken posses
zion of the company's store, soldiers act
ing rs custodians in place Of the terrorized
clerks. So far has this reign of anarchy
extended that the woman upon whose
property the well from which the troops
draw water is situated piteously begged
the officers to secure water elsewhere, as
the anarchists gave her until today to re.
fuse water upon penalty of burning her
house to the ground

mob of Lithuanians, Poles and Huns was
gathered upon the hill overlooking the
depot. The arrival OF the train was greeted
with yells and jecrs, and stones began to
rattle down upon the depot platform be-

As the men filed ont on the depot plat
form they were greeted with "A chorus of
yells, and the stones rained down around
them. Captain Conrad raised his hand
