vaded this town again Tuesday and sew
eral hundred more are expected
to-day from Centralia, Sorrento
Mento and the Alma mines. The
men are now encamped near the north

ing notified them that they could not
camp within the corporate lines. Mayor
Farthing has depufized 40 citizens,
white and colored, to act as marshals.
They are armed with revolvers, heavy
clubs and some few display formidable
looking rifles An effort was made to
induce the mayor to compel the in
vaders to leave the vicinity, but it was q
failure.
The mines here are being operated by
full force of men.

ises Of the camp. The order urgently
requests all miners to respect the law
in the future us in the past and strictly
prohibits them from trespassing on
the property of the New York & Cleve-
land Gas Coal company. During the
afternoon Edward Mckay and Paul
Trimmer were arrested on charges OF
riot and unlawful assemblage. They
were released on bail.
De Armitt CONFIDENT.
De Armitt is confident the strikers
cannot wholly shut down his mines and
ayers that change will come over the
scene within the next few days, al
though he does not say how it is to be
brought about. He intimated he would
soon spring the injunction against the
miners which was granted May rs, 1895,
and which was sustained by the SUI
preme court after the superior court
had reversed the lower court. This in
junction. which was issued against
John Cairns, Cameron Miller, Patrick
Dolan, Owen Cruz, William Warner
and others, was made perpetual and
estrains the defendants from assem-
bling and encamping upon the high
ways, roads and premises adjoining the
mines of the plaintiff, or in the vicinity
of the same. for the purpose of intimi-
dating and preventing the PLAINTIFF
miners from working, etc. Mr.. De
Armitt said: "The miners employed at
our mines are not only inundated
from going to work, but they dare not
leave their families at home at the
mercy of a mob responsible to no one.
The mob has increased until it is be-
yond the control of law" Mr.. De Ar
mitt would not say so, but, judging
from his remarks, it is believed he is
expecting that Sheriff Lowry will call
on the governor for troops to dispense
the strikers.
In published statement, w. P. Dc
Armitt says that anything tending to
stop the output of the Pittsburgh mines
necessarily resulted in the advantage
of the mines of West Virginia, and it
was currently and generally believed
that the West Virginia coal contributed
$4,000 through the leaders and Off
Gals of the United Mine Workers of
America for the purpose of making a
strike in the mines of Ohio and western
Pennsylvania.
A large parade and meeting of strik-
ers was held Tuesday night at Turtle
Creek. Three carloads of Homestead
steel workers participated. Dolan ex-
poets TO get all of De Armittt's men out
within two days, and will then start a
march on the West Moreland mines. A
serious phase developed Tuesday night
when 1t was seen that number of
strikers were Intoxicated. Dolan eau
toned the men and said the liquor had
been introduced into camp by enemies.

Honest Toll is Honorable.

Charter Oak Times: 1t is no diff
cult job to sun up what the futureof
a boy will be by his general DISPOSE
ton to work. An exchange fully
covers the ground in the following:
"When you see a youth who will do
any sort OF work no matter how
mental it may be, rather thar be
idle, you may make up your mind
that he amounts to something. The
young man who would starve before
he would do anything beneath what
he conceives to be below his dignity
is not made of the right stuff to cut
much OF "a figure in life. All honest
toll is honorable. There is nothing
so molaIiy degrading as that aver
sion to manual labor which is usual
~ a combination OF laziness and
~conceit."

should go down in history with Ben
edict Arnold and other traitors or
the crime OF '73. That is not very
creditable to the intelligent people
OF South Dakota; to have their rep
resentative show such gross igno-
rance. John Sherman did not vote
for the "crime OF '73," but on the
other hand both Senators Stewart
and Senator Jones did-and the lat

examination of the official records,
