In order to prevent any possible out

not send troops to any point unless an
outbreak does occur. The general de-

The sherifr Defies Danger.

WILKESBARRE. Pa. Sept. 14.-Sher-
if Martin came down to Wilkesbarre
from his home at Plains yesterday. He
at once repaired TO his Office in the court
house where he held a long consulta-
ton with his attorney. Later he was
in telephone communication with Cen
eral Goblin at Hazleton.
Sheriff Martin insists on walking the
streets unattended. His friends think
this is dangerous. and they advised him
to procure a bodyguard, but he laughs
at the idea.
He says he does not believe for mo-
ment that his life is i'm danger. His be-
lief is probably founded on the fact
that he does not hear what his enemies
have to say about him, and he does not
read the newspapers
The newspapers printed in a foreign
language and circulated in this section
will devote a great deal of space TO the
sheriff in their issues of this week.
The editor of one of these journals
has publicly expressed belief that his
countrymen who were shot at Lattimer
were murdered and the sheriff was the
murderer.
Hanging, he. thinks. ought to be his
lot. No attempt has been made to ar
rest the sheriff. II is said the warrant
will be served today.

women Arrested nj Plum Creek.

PITTSBURG, Sept 14.-Emma Haas
the miners Joan Of Arc, and three other
women were arrested for marching at
Plum Creek by sheriff's deputies.
The attempt TO make the arrests pre-
cipitated an incipient riot. in which the
deputies Jared badly.
No one was seriously hurt but scarce
ly a deputy escaped a clubbing, and
superintendent Sam De Armitt was cut
on the hand. Two of the women ar
rested carried babies.
The riot was the result of a carefully
planned attempt TO prevent the men at
work at Plum Creek from entering the
mines. There were 25 women and
about so strikers concerned in ii.
About daylight the party started out,
headed by Emma Haas. Many had a
pick handle or a club of some sort.
on the Murrayvile road they encoun-
tered a posse of deputies and were or
dered back TO the camp. No attention
was paid 10 the order and the party
tried to force its way through the line
of deputies.
A scufile followed. and Emma Haas
and three other women who were in the
lead were arrested.
A scene of wild excitement ensued.
The moment a deputy laid hands on
a woman he was surrounded by others,
waving clubs in the air and using them
on the head of a deputy when the op-
portunity offered.
Deputy Walker was severely dubbed,
and $. c. De Armitt was cut on the
hand. He says he was attacked by a
woman with a knife.
The names of the women arrested
were Emma Haas. Mrs John Kosar
Mrs Frank Haas and Mrs. Elsner
Mrs. Kosar and Mrs Esner had their
babies with them.
After the removal of the prisoners
from Plum Creek the excitement sub
sided. and the women and strikers re-
turned to camp.
The reason more Of the women were
not arrested was that four or five depu-
ties were required to hold one Of them
and the force was not large enough to
take charge of the crowd.
