o. S. MARsHALs BUSY.

They Made Four Arrests Early Yesterday
Morning, at Wheeling Creek--The Pris-
oners Taken to Columbus-other Ar
rests to Follow.
twenty-five Deputy United States
Marshals from the Eastern District OF
Ohio, arrived in Bridgeport at 1925 a. N.
Yesterday. They had come from Gin
cinnat by the B. & o., and they at
once took up headquarters in Bridge
port. Their orders are to remain there
for an indefinite time. They are from
Judge Taft's Court, and are under the
leadership OF Edward SchleSinGer,
veteran in the business. II was not
much more than daybreak yesterday
morning when the whole force went TO
work, and it was not long until they
had made four arrests, and had the
prisoners at the guard tent at Camp
Wheeling Creek.
The Marshals at once went TO the
locality, and soon located
THE FIRST FOUR MEN
for whom they had warrants. They are:
Charles aud August Holt, Mike Wall
inska and George Ballack. The first
two can talk some English, but they are
all foreigners. The two last men are
unable TO understand what is said to
them In our language. To effect the
captures the Marshals divided them
selves into groups of three each, and
soon had the camp surrounded. One or
the men made some resistance but they
were all soon hustled within the guard
lines OF the camp, and a heavy guard
was placed over them in the guard tent.
The prisoners are charged with con-
tempt OF the United States Court, and
are said to be the miners who
were the leaders in stopping
the first coal train after the in
JUNCTION was issued on the c., L. d
w. The arrests were made about
o'clock in the morning, and the prison
ers were kept at the guard tent till the
afternoon, when they were
TAKEN TO COLUMBUS,
where they will have hearing at once
before the United States Court, 1t being
in session there at the present time
When the word became scattered among
the miners that four OF their number
had been taken great excitement among
them was occasioned. 1t kept the
guards busy keeping the foreigners from
entering the lines to talk with their
comrades. The women were the worst,
and there were many pitiable scenes at
the guard tent when some Of the old
women with tears in their eyes saw
what they claimed was their only sup
poet taken by the officials Of the United
States.
Counsellor w. W. Ramsey, of Cincin-
natl, one of the attorneys for the q. L.
& w. Railway Company, was at Bridge
port yesterday experimenting the ar
rest of the miners. He said if the pris-
oners are guilty they will be severely
punished. The law is very strict on
this point, and it includes both fine and
imprisonment
OTHER ARRESTS TO BE MADE.
Five Of the Deputy Marshals left last
night for Cincinnati, leaving the re-
naming twenty at the headquarters in
Bridgeport. II is understood that
about thirty more arrests are to he
made, and the officers will 20 TO Flu; b.
ing, Burton and Maynard to make
some there. The Marshals are all vet
Grams, and it would be- hard TO find
more determined looking lot OF men.
The first warrants the officers took out
Yesterday morning called for five Of the
miners, but the Marshals were only
able 10 get four OF them, as was stated.
The other man was John Dubuley, and
they saw him, but he took to his heels
and outdistanced ALL The officers we're
handicapped some by the fact that sew
eral women got between Dubuley and
the deputies in the race, and this pre-
vented the officer from firing at him.
He escaped into the woods, and has not
been seen since. The miners in Bridge
port and the locality are much alarmed
lest the deputies come 10 arrest them.
a REGISTER reporter called at one OF
their homes last night, and the occu-
pant was one Of the happiest men ever
seen when he found the pencil shower
was not after him with warrant, as ne
feared.
