A RIOT NARROWLY AYERTED
Prompt Appearance of rIiita Awed Striking
Miners In Iowa


Omaha, Neb., Feb. 14.-A special to
the Bee from Centreville, Iowa, says:
What looked like serious riot at Rath-
burn, a mining camp north of here, was
today narrowly averted. Last night
notice was served upon Sheriff Bray by
superintendent Phillips of the Star Coal
Company there that the miners en-
ployed there were on strike and rioting,
and that Appanoose county would be held
responsible for any damage. The Sheriff
at once went to Captain Ogle and told him
to get Company f in readiness to be
called out as soon as possible, and started
for the scene. In the meantime Captain
Ogle had part of the company assembled
at the armory, where they stayed all
night.
Rathburn is one of the small mining
camps that have sprung up on the Mil
waukee road within the last two or three
years There are about 500 or 600 Austri-
ans settled there to the almost exclusion
of American labor.
Mexican miners who were out on strike
came over for the purpose of influencing
them, and would have succeeded but for
the appearance of the Sheriff, who arrested
the leaders. He reported the trouble
averted today.
