SPRING VALLEY, Ills, July 11.-Affairs
here are taking on an ominous look.
The miners have so intimidated 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
manner. Mayor jackson, who is evil
IDENTIFY terrorized, ordered the soldiers out
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
| sion Of the company's store, soldiers act
| ing as custodiaus 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.
| Company c, of the Fifteenth regulars,
commanded by Captain Conrad, came
into collision with the mob late yesterday
afternoon, and after patiently enduring
| volley after volley of stones fired into the
mob, killing two men and wounding sew
eral others.
The dead are: Dominic Barlmer, Italian,
shot through the head; John Saloli, Ital-
ian shot through the breast. Injured:
Walter Gregory, deputy, ribs broken and
badly bruised; Lush Kolp, deputy, shot
in thigh; S. Z. Powell, deputy, shot twice
in face; unknown Italian rioter, shot by
Deputy Powell; unknown rioter, hand
and arm badly lacerated by bayonet.
The fight occurred when a Rock Island
train bearing the troops pulled into the
depot At the time of its arrival large
mob of Lithuanians, Poles and Huns was
gathered upon the hill overlooking the
depot The arrival of the train was greeted
with yells and jeers, and stones began t
rattle down upon the depot platform be
! fore any of the soldiers had left the cars.
AS the men filed out on the depot plat
form they were greeted with a chorus o
yells, and the stones rained down arounC
them, Captain Conrad raised his hant
and called to the mob to cease throwing
stones. 1t obeyed him for an instant, bu
seeing the troops remain passive, re
gained its viciousness and sent volle,
after volley of stones at the soldiers, n
. the same time drawing closer and becom
ing more threatening. Captain Conra,
ordered his men to aim, and as NOR
stones came at their heads he gave tn
i word to fire. The mob broke for the timbe
when the firing began, and has not as
sem bled since.
Early in the morning as a party of dep
uties were travelling from Princeton t.
Spring Valley in wagons some strikers il
} ambush fired upon them, wounding Der
/ | uty S, Il. Powell in the face. The fire wa
returned and one man was seen to fall
He was, however, carried off by his CON
panions, and the extent of his injuries
not known.
