Those who We foremost in the as
sault upon the marshals were now in
mo alb ..eCt fear of the troops. They
knew enough to be aware Of the fact that
in interfering with a government Off
cial they had committed grave offense.
Deputy She III Henry Hitler has State
warrants for more than one hundred
additional strikers. He has large
force Of deputy sherifis with him, and
he will prosecute the search until he
is sati fled that every man in Mount
Olive who intimidate ed train crews or
interfered with traffic in any way has
been arrested. 1t is feared that many

After the troops arrived and pitched
camp in the yard of the Zion Evangel-

shall Brinton had United States war

faces of the men along the fence.
Among them was an old man with q
sheer on his ce, and in broken Ger
man he was mocking the )mmands of
the officers of the guard. Two deputy
marshals walked out to where he was
standing. One got each side of him
and @ was made a prisoner He pro-
to ted again-t his arrest, but he was
hurried back u the west side of the
churchya ID and placed IN care OF the
guard.
"I'll never forget that fellow" said
Marshal BrintoN. "For an instant last
Saturday events was of the opinion
that he was the instrument by which
was TO be ushe!ed into eternity. In
the thick of the fight, when we were
trying to retain our prisoners, he
showed revolver into my face and
held it there long enough for me to
feel its muzzle grating against my
teeth. How it happened 1 do not know

knock the gun from his murder, /;
