All the collieries around Shenandoah,
Lost Creek and William Penn are
closed down. Not a mine in the region
is working today. This, the operators
claim, is because their men are afraid to

William Penn and the latter claim the
mines closed down on that account.

troops sleep in their tents tonight This

state arsenal authorities at Harrisburg

the entire third brigade under orders to
have the paraphernalia ready in case of
emergency.
