some distance from here, is quoted in
an interview as follows: 1T was only
q question Of time when the clash had
10 come. 1t might have taken five, ten
or 20 minutes, but blood was sure to
have been spilled. The strikers out
numbered US and we did not know
whether the rioters were armed or not.
Sheriff Martin told US to keep cool as
the strikers advanced. Finally the
rioters grew so abusive that it was
necessary to fire During the day they
beared their breasts. daring US to
shoot During the last stand the Strik-
ers felt sure we would not shoot. Had
the sheriff been subjected to abuse
much longer the strikers would have
taken courage and tried to steal our
rifles. That accomplished, there is no
telling how much life and destruction
to property would have resulted.
While We hated to fire, it was neces-
Sary for our lives as well as for law
and order" Mr.. Turnback is a. dealer
in dynamite here and many of the
deputies are substantial business men.
He says that Sheriff Martin did not
give the command to fire. Every dep
MY seemed to. act on the spur of the
minute At the close of the interview
the e2-deputy said that he would re-
Ulrn to Hazleton. as he was not afraid.
He only performed his duty and would
not allow any man to insult him.
USED COMMON SENSE.
Mine Operator Markle, who succeeded
fn preventing the marching strikers
from closing his mine yesterday, says
he accomplished this by using common
sense arguments with the men, He
said to them: "If our men have any
grievances, they can submit them to

The miners insist that the company

mediately brought to the attention of

public confidence in the methods which
are being applied in the treatment of

Jackson. Miss. Sept. 15.-The state

houses are closed it's newspapers sus-
pended, and seven cases of yellow fever
officially announced at it's very doors,
with many suspected cases at various
points. There is an embargo on the
railroads Of the state, and there are
grave apprehensions that the dread DIS
ease has obtained a foothold in numer-
GUS parts Of the state. Wild alarm eX
lists everywhere. Such are the condi-
tons existing in the middle, western
and northern portions of the state to-
day. The worst fears Of the medical
fraternity and the public have been.
realized, and the prevailing disease at
Edwards has been pronounced yellow
fever. The state board of health has
laid a general embargo on travel except
out of the state by means of an order
promulgated this afternoon and ad-
dressed to all lines of transportation.
Travel from infected places is abso
lutely barred. The bright side of the
situation is that the disease is Of a
very mild type. The exodus from this
city, which began in a small way sew
eral days ago, has attained unprece-
dented PROPORTIONS,

There are many children sick with

disease. The cases are now confined to

persons who came from Ocean Springs.

have been the Champion case. William

ROBBERY AT PEAkCE..
Thieves Make a Haul at the
 Gold Cliff Mine.

Yesterday when Frsd Hewitt, who has charge of the cyanide works o' the G pld Cliff Mining Co. at p,arcp wen t, work he discovered that the works had been visited the night be- fore hy thieves.
 The large box containing the pre- cip;tating cans had b en broken oPru and ten of the cans had been cleaned Ip in a worSmlnlike manner.
 Ths zinc shsvings had also been carried away, thus showing that the thieves wanted everything in sight.
 The Sheriff was immediately noti- fed and Constables Bravin and Grover went at once upon the trail with every probability of bringing the guilty par ties 10 justice.
 The value of the precipitates stolen is about one thousand d ll.rl.
 The night the robbery took place was an ideal one for work of that kind, as the storm ragged with great fury, thereby giving the thieves a clear road without any danger Of de- lection.
 This is the first time that anything Of the lind ha' happened in that ssc- tion since there has been any cyanid- ing going on.
 The cysniders have been leaving men to lo1k after them, but from now on it will behOove .he company to look out a lIttle more carefully, as thieves are a:oLnd and will need watching.
