Plum creek mines, while only two or
three were in the Sandy creek mine.
The policy of the miners is to form
camps at these mines, as well as at
Oak Hill, and maintain large parties
on guard. President Dolan announced
that he could get land from private
parties on which to pitch his camps.
The feeling in the camp was one Of
triumph. The miners claim that they
are on the high road to success, and
the enthusiasm which was seemingly
slumbering yesterday was at fever
heat today.
A large number of the men who at
tended the meeting were nearly dead
from hunger. Some of them had eaten
nothing since o'clock Yesterday, and
tue commissary wagon had not yet ar
rived when the meeting was over. It
was not until nearly 2 o'clock that the
wagon carrying the provisions got to
the camp, and when it arrived there
was a tremendous rush for bread.
After the meeting was over and the
men had satisfied their appetiteS they
went back to heir camp at Turtle
Creek in an orderly manner, where
they rested and made preparations for
tomorrow. Two new camps were IN
stituted this afternoon after the meet
ing The one at Plum Creek will be
known as Camp Resistance and the
one at Sandy Greek will be called
Camp Isolation" Each camp IN the
besieged district will be kept constant
ly supplied with guards.
The force of deputies was kept busy
during the entire night. Every move
was watched and trouble seemed to be
in the air. The condition can be said
to be critical. Both sides feel that
there is a crisis near at hand The Of
ficials of the New York & Cleveland
Gas Coal company gave out the state
ment tonight that their forces were in
creased in the Turtle Creek and Sandy
Creek mines and that more men were
at work in the Plum Creek mine than
there has been since the campaign
against the company started. The
hearing of Patrick Dolan was held at
9 o'clock this afternoon before Justice
Semmens, of Turtle Greek. The min
ers' officials have engaged attorneys
and the case will be fought to the end.
