INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 9.-The striking coal
miners who arc marching on Evansville expect
20 cross the Ohio River at that point and visit
tbe Kentucky mines to induce the men In thom
10 quit work. They seized an Evansville and
Terrc Haute train ct vincennes last night, and
the crew ran 1t into the yards to await orders
from superintendent Corbott-
Orders were received to go on and tho miners
boarded the train and refused to get off. The
train was sidetracked at Purcell station and the
crew started back to vincennes with the engine
and caboosc, but the strikers boarded tho
caboosc and came back with 1t.
Superintendent Corbett hurried to the scene
and wcnt.before Judge Shaw and secured q writ
of injunction against tho strikers, and Sheriff
orndorff served 1t upon the leaders. Tho strik- |
es made fun OF tho officer and declared that
they would not obey tho writ, but would board
tho first train for Evansville regardless Of con-
sequences. All the miners of southern Indiana
are concentrating their forces at Evansville.
whence they will proceed to darlington, KY, to
persuade the miners there to quit work.
J. d. Pickens, who led O wing Of Coxey's army
TO Washington, 10 In command. The miners
say they will go on the first train, notwithstand-
ing the injunction. Tho situation looks serious.
TERRE HAUrE, Ind, Aug. 9.-President Knight
and Secretary Kennedy went to the southern
Auuldho NooA WIN thhC w teAo
Of the movement TO get the 200 or 800 men in
this part Of the Evansville district to Join the
strike. The band Of seventy men who have
been Selling trains at Elnora and Vincennes
are not recognized In tho official movement Of
the district, but arc going about on their own
account. Mr.. Knight and Mr.. Kennedy say the
reports Of 200 men congregating at Evansville
are wholly unfounded and are inspired perhaps
by the roaming band which seized the train OF
vincennes. There arc seventy-hve men OF
Evansville.
