LEAvENwoRTH EXCITED.
Citizens Make Sensational Demonstra-
ton Against Missouri Strikers.

LEAvENwoBTH, Kan, May 25.-
There was intense excitement in
this city yesterday afternoon. At
4:20 o'clock the court house bell rang
out the alarm signal which had been
agreed upon Wednesday, and every
one knew that the army of striking
coal miners from Ray and Lafayette
counties, Missouri, had entered the
city.
Almost instantly the streets were
alive with armed men hurrying to the
court house to be sworn in as special
deputies. Thousands of citizens
gathered along Fourth street, known
as the Kansas City ll1ad, to await
the arrival of the invading forces.
Shortly after p. m, the head of
the advance column appeared. The
men were marching briskly four
abreast, and so far from being the
blood-thirsty wretches that had been
popularly expected, they looked posi-
lively forlorn, and scarcely one of
those who saw them could help p a feel
ing of compassion for them.
To the intense surprise of the as
sembled citizens, the rear of the
column was brought up by Sheriff
Rothenberger and score of deputies,
all plainly on the best of terms with
the invaders and evidently making
no attempt to interfere with their
progress.
Then it developed that the strikers
were really in the charge of the
sheriff and were simply passing
through the city to the new bridge
by which they would cross the river
and march back to their homes
through Missouri-thc shortest route.
The expedition had been gwen up al
together. Half of the invaders were
already turned back under General
Ryan and marching to Kansas City by
the road they had come.
Upon getting the strikers we'll on
the bridge, Sheriff Rothenb berger
halted them and made them little
speech, thanking them for keeping
their word with him and congratulate
ing them upon the avoidance of all
trouble.
The men were then marched across
the bridge, where they were furnished
supper by the sheriff, and the posi-
bility of any trouble was passed.
