Fear an Outbreaks.
HaZelton, IA, Sept 22.-l'he LehiGh
region seemed 70 concern itself more
about possibility Of trouble than any
other one thing. Wherever one went
in this district the belief was general
that an outbreak will occur There
was however. no outward evidence
anywhere that such a thing is likely.
This feeling was no doubt produced by
In, disturbances at Shenandoah and
the arrival in lIaZieton and on the
north side OF large numbers of depu-
ties, who are said TO be prepared for
any emergency. II was known that all
the coal companies in the district had
increased the number of watchmen
around their collieries and il was also
known that a small number of depu-
ties had been distributed through the
south side by Sheriff Brstin, OF Car
bon county, but nothing much was
thought OF this. The deputies who ar
rived at Freeland l. miles north OF
here, during the night from Wilkes
barre, are said 10 number about 200.
They were distributed along the pub
lie road between Frepland and Jcddo.
Al noon a carload OF them arrived in
this city over the Pennsylvania rail
road and later in the day several
squads OF deputies came into town.
They are all being loded in diff erent
parts of the city.
There were fewer cases of violence
yesterday than Thursday. when the
mine workers in various parts Of this
section were attacked on their way to
and from work. The presence of the
increased number of watchmen and
deputies may have accounted for this
improved condition.
