PITTsBURG, Jan. 29.-The striking coal
miners in the ansfield district seem to-
tally cowed by the disastrous attack on

expected. All sorts or rumors of miners
in hiding ready to make attacks are afoat,

pearance of officers of the law had the de-
sired effect and the strikers would quickly
disperse without having committed any

noon the situation has developed no i'm
mediatei alarming features. Sher #

will keep deputies in the district for sew
