pect. The Seventh regiment, Illinois

freight trains, breaking car seals, and

loading and taking it home. Last Sat-
urday United States Msrshsl Brinton

arrest the guilty ones, but to no avail,
as they were surrounded by the angry
miners and forced to release their
prisoners.
Owing to the presence of the militia,
