TERRORiZED AT SPRING VALLEY.
OTTAWA, Ill, July 10.-Affairs at
Spring Valley are taking on an omi-
nous look and today the commanders
of the Rock Island and Galesburg
companies sent long communication
by wire to Adjutant.General Oren-
dorff, detailing the situation. The
substance of the dispatch was that
the miners have so inundated all
classes of the people with threats of
what will happen after the troops are
removed that every obstacle is placed
in the pathway of the soldiers
and all classes act in hostile man
ner. Mayor Jackson, who is evident.
ly terrorized, ordered the soldiers out
of town this morning, but they re-
fused to obey. The telegraph operator
was frightened away and one of the
soldiers is at the key. The store.
keepers have been made to refuse to
sell supplies to the troops, and the
latter have in consequence taken pos
session of the companies property,
soldiers acting as custodians in place
of the terrorized clerks. So
far has this reign of
anarchy extended that the women
upon whose property the well from
which the troops draw water is situat-
ed has besn given notice to refuse the
troops water upon the penalty of
burning her house to the ground.
There are 129 soldiers and 20 we'll
armed deputies on the ground, aforce
sufficient to prevent the anarchists
from obstructing the trains and to
hold thoir own in case of an attack,
but the officers think it good policy
for the state to increase the force in
order that showing be made that
will cow the turbulent Huns and
other foreigners.
