Hazleton. Pa. Sept. 2i-The Lehigh re-
gion to-day seemed 20 concern itself more
about the possibility OF trouble than any
osher one thing Wherever one went in
this district the belief was general that
an outbreak viii occur. There was. how
ever. no outward evidence anywhere that
such a thing is likely.
This feeling was no doubt produced by
the disturbances at Shenandoah and the
arrival In Hazle,on and on the north side
OF large numbers OF deputies who are said
to be prepared for any emergency. IL was
known that oil the coal companies In the
district had increased the number Of
watchmen around their collierles, and Il
was also known that small number OF
deputies had been distributed through the
south side by the shcriff Of Carbon coun-
~. but nothing was thought OF this.
The deputies who arrived at Freeland,
twelve miles north OF here. during the
night from Wilkesbarre, are said TO mum
her about 30. They are distributed along
the public road between Frscland and
Jeddo. AZ noon a carload Of them ar
rived IN this city over the PENNSYLVANIA

are all being lodged In different parts
