The deputy sheriffs at the De Armit

including the members of the brass band.
The strikers were marching on the public

about a quarter of mile from the tpple.
The band refused to stop playing and the
sntire party was placed under arrest with
out resistance. The prisoners were taken
to Pittsburg and to the sheriff's office.
The members of the band took their arrest
good-naturedly and played their instru-

railroad station to the sheriff's office.
Chief Deputy Evans said the men were
riotous and he feared trouble. This is
denied by the strikers. Superintendent De
Armit claims that the three mines of the
