markets north of here or from loss
mines to points outside of the state.
Early yesterday morning a frei h
train reached Cannelburg bean a,
twcnty-six loaded coal cars. A cro ",
of 800 miners who had been await q,

shops at this place. They offered q
let these go. Sheriff Leming returle,
to Washington and secured an injunc

the railroad company to run it's tra o.
he would call on the militia to enfo G,
his authority. This had no effect u d
the strikers, and the sheriff with IL
deputies withdrew.
During the afternoon news of b.
mornings events was spread throu b
ont the mining districts of Da e
county, and the strikers began t,
pour into Cannelburg from all Il
rections, Last evening it was 4.

they will attempt no violence, but N
prevent the railroad company f Or

as it is within their power to do so.
Sheriff Leming telegraphed Gov. h
