Change of teachers.

Philip Linderman, of Butler valley,
and Miss Catherine Stumpf, of Freeland,
have exchanged schools in the Upper
Lehigh district of Butler township.
Mr.. Linderman was appointed to teach
at Upper Lehigh proper and Miss
Stumpf at No. 3, but finding that it
would be more convenient to both, by
bringing them nearer their respective
homes, if they exchanged schools, the
consent of the directors was obtained
and the change was made this morning.

THREE ARRESTED.
Deputies Sent to Jail on tho Charge of
Highway Robbery.

Highway Robbery.
Three of the men who have been sent
to Freeland for the alleged purpose of
protecting mine property and miners
from the strikers are under arrest,
charged with the grave crime Of high
way robbery. So far the evidence is
against the accused deputies.
The three men are Bert Howard,
Hamilton Farnharm and Robert Shoe
maker, all of Wilkesbarre, where their
families are numbered among the aris-
tocracy of that city. They are accused
by Jacob Yoski, saloon man who
resides at Carbon and Adams street, of
robbing him of $l67.
Yoski drove to Highland Saturday
evening to sell beer and collect ont
standing bills. He was met by the
guards at the entrance to the town and
notified that no beer could be sold in
Highland. He was permitted, however,
to collect his bills.
When leaving the town he was asked
by three of the deputies for ride to
Freeland. He consented and the four
came to town on his wagon. When
Yoski reached the alley at the rear of
his homo the deputies demanded that he
drive them to Jeddo. He refused.
Suddenly one Of the mon grasped him
by the throat, while his two companions
rifed his pockets, taking all the money
about his person, which amounted to
$167, and fired two shots in the air.
The robbers then took to their heels,
up Carbon street to Washington, to
Luzerne, then to Centre and to the
Central hotel, where a number of the
deputies are quartered. They were
closely followed by Yoski, and although
it was after 10 o'clock crowd soon col
lected about the hotel.
Yoski picked out the men at the
hotel and they were taken in charge by
the police. Later on hearing was
given them before Squire Shovlin, who
committed them to prison in default of
bail.
Sheriff Harvey, who was notified of
the occurrence, arrived In town, relieved
the prisoners of their badges and COM
missions, and advised that they be taken
to the county Jail.
Constable James Welsh, Officer BENZ.
Hontz and Daniel Slattery left at 8
o'clock yesterday morning with the
prisoners for Wilkesbarre.
The prisoners secured bail yesterday
and are free until their case is called by
the court.
This affair naturally created a great
deal of excitement in town, and the
people of Freeland, regardless of their
views or sympathes on the strike ques-
tion, are indignant that gang contain
ing such men should be permitted to
prowl about the vicinity armed with
deadly weapons. The general opinion
OF the class of men who will act as
deputies was always very low, and the
occurrence of Saturday night has gone
long way in convincing law-abiding
people that the region is infested with
band of inscriptions thugs who were
brought here to create trouble.

to finish the week and remain at home

remaining home this morning.

Ing after the time set for the strike to
begin, and so far operations have not
been resumed at any mine or shaft in

change at the collieries in the other sur
rounding towns.

that region: Fourth, Eighth and
Twelfth regiments of infantry, Battery

Twelfth regiment were orderd to locate
at McAdoo, and arrived their about 7
o'clock.

state protection has not been granted.

GENERAL WILSON
 STARTS TO CHINA He Will Embark on Japanese Steamer August 3. TALKS OF THE DIFFICULTIES Says the Greatest Trouble to the Allied Forces Will be Supplies, Fuel
 and Water-Wil1 Have to
 be Transported
TALKS OF THE DIFFICULTIES

New York, July 29.-Brigadier-General James H. Wilson departed tonight for San Francisco where he will embark on August 8 on the Japanese steamer America Maru for China. He was accompanied by his aides, Lieutenants J. H. Reeves and G. Soulard Turner.
 When asked if he thought that the various foreign forces in China could be merged in homogeneous whole, the gen. eral said that such thing was possible, and that it depended largely upon the skill and tact of the generalissimo. In view of the pressing needs of the situation he said that he felt sure that there would be no great difficulties in the organization or forces.
 He said that there would be much prep aration required for the advance on ac- count of the scarcity of forage along the routes to Pelzin.
 'It will be necessary said he, flor an army to take great quantities of supplies. The country Is poor. It is a low plain, almost devoid of vegetation. There are no trees of any account which could be used for firewood The natives even scrape the bark from the trees to get fuel They
 
 to be got by foraging, and there is practi- cally nothing to plunder, and an army would have to take supplies of every k1nd including fuel and water. The question or supplies is, in fact. the principal one.
 Further than that it is difficult to say much and I do not wish to be placed in the position of judging the situation be- fore I am thoroughly familiar with 1t. There are no mountains or other natural obstacles There are no strong fortifiea- tions It is easy, of course, to throw up entrenchments The Chinese will have the same difficulties to contend with as far. as supplies are concerned as the allies must encounter. It will be impossible to main- tain great hordes of men without some thing on which they might feed.
 Tn these military operations the great base will be the sea. Supplies can be brought up the Pei Ho river and it's branches to within twelve miles of Pekin and then there is the railroad Even if 1t is torn up some, it will not be so difficult to get it into operation
 "The Chinese have only a vague notion of western tactics. They have had Ger man drill masters, but, generally they have been drilling only when they felt like it. They are good fighters when they are winning, and they take killing we'll They do not do so well when they begin to lose and are easily stampeded.'

INTERESTING LETTER
From an Agent of the American Bible
 Society

New York, July 29.-The American Bible Society has received a letter from Charles S. Gamnon, it's agent in Tien Tsin, dated June f. MT. Cannon, after detailing the events up to the date of the letter, includ- ing the killing of the missionaries, says:
 '4The missionaries at Pao Ting Flu have thus far and wisely too, refused to leave there. With the railway destroyed and boat travel certainly fatal they cannot leave, and with the government so utterly helpless and the soldiers so thouoghly in sympathy with the Boxers, there is cause to fear for their safety, although the Min ister has warned the officials to give them protection The railway authorities are fighting hard to maintain communication with Pekin Ohe heads of the departments being British) but the line is daily inter rupted by the burning of bridges and sta- tions, and trains are frequently returning being unable to get through The Chinese troops sent to guard the lines have failed to accomplish anything and even if they were not in sympathy with the present anti-foreign movement and largely mem- bers of the Boxer movement there is every reason to believe that they have secret fn- structions not to resist or punish the Boxers"

 ON BAD MORTGAGES Warrant Has Been Issued for Ar rest of Edward Swazey. DISAPPOINTMENT GENTLEMAN swazey is Said to be on Board Steamship Sailing for South

 Mind is Unbalanced
DISAPPOINTMENT GENTLEMAN

Kansas City, July 29.-A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Ewd. Swazey, charging him with attempt to defraud, by selling to the Third National Bank of Springfield, Mass, a mortgage of S259 on 261 head of cattle owned by J. H. Kenny of Hemphill County, Texas It is alleged that Swazey represented that the mortgage was first lien. whereas it was second lien. If true. the operation is Identical with that pursued by Grant Gillett, the Kansas plunger. who mortgaged cattle to the amount of over million dollars. Gill let crossed to Old Mexico, where he has since resided.
 According to a report from the officers of the Bankers and Cattlemen's Protec- tive Association, the Swazey irregularities approximate $70,000. Until the time of it's financial collapse, MT. Swazey was a mem Der of the local commission firm of Ladd, Penny and Swazey.
 Swazey, who is well known in Kansas City and throughout the cattle country steamship Hermase, sailing for Buenos Ayers, South America, having gone on board July D. just two hours ahead of De- tective Kirk. who followed him from Kan sas City to New York. armed with a. war rant which was issued by the authorities here. At the time of the failure of the cattle firm of Ladd. Penny and Swazey it was impossible to discover the amount in- volved. especially the company did business over such a wide range of coun- try. Three days afterward inquiries be- gan to come in and simultaneously reports of the mental as well as the physical condition of the junior member of the firm. Joseph Ladd, senior member of the firm, makes the following statements.
 T do not know the present whereabouts of MT. Swazey, but have been informed up on what seems to be reliable authority that he has left for South America If 1t is true l cannot account for his depart ure. I do not believe MT Swazey has done anything criminal. As far as we know at present his books are all straight and we have no reason to suspect that he has been in any way dishonest with the firm
 MT. Swazey was the financial man of the firm. He handled all the papers and had exclusive control of that department of the firms business. In the latter part or June we discovered that we had become overloaded with paper and it was then that MT. Swazey informed us of certain big loans made in Oklahoma which proved to be bad. This was short time before his mind collapsed, which I believe was caused from worrying over these bad loans. His failure to inform us of the threatened financial crisis was probably due to his proud disposition rather than any intentional wrong
 Soon after Mir Swazey suffered the coliapse or his mental faculties he was taken to Chicago. I later heard that he mad been placed in an asylum in Mary land"
