GOLD SEEKERS DEFY TROOPS.
over n Hundred Miners Arrested For
Working Along the Beach.

Working Along the Beach.
Seattle, Aug 3.-The Times says:
The first serious trouble between the
military and prospectors in the north
this year resulted in the arrest of over
100 of the miners who went to Top
kuk, about so miles south of Nome
City. The clash occurred July II. 1t
was the result of prolonged claim
contest and cases of alleged claim
jumping. About week previous over
100 miners were forced to quit work
along the beach at Topkuk by soldiers
who were landed from the United
States transport Seward. Soldiers
were regularly detailed day and night
to guard the cliff from being torn
away by the miners, who were only too
eager to get at the rich pay streak,
which was already uncovered for a
width Of several hundred feet.
Under the conditions of suspension
Of work the miners were allowed to
work their dumps, which work was
about completed. That having been
done, the miners held a consultation
and determined to defy Uncle Sam and
ioluih W "Oih. Inc SoluleTS were dill
mustered out on the beach, and with
bayonets fixed attempted to force the
men to leave, but not a man stirred.
A parley ensued, with the result that
80 or 40 miners submitted to arrest
and were put under guard Others
quickly took the places of the arrested
ones, and were in their turn arrested,
until the soldiers have now more than
they can attend to.
A perplexing problem now IS how to
feed and house the arrested miners.
II they are not fed the soldiers are in
danger Of being overpowered until re-
lieved by revenue cutters or trans
ports. Ten were taken to Nome on
July 20 and released on bonds.

Brooklyn, n. Y, Aug. S.-Daniel
Creel. who Anthony Comstock says is
a prince of green goods men and leader

saw Comstock in the court he fled.
His bail was forfeited and Montgomery
was held for the grand jury. Creel
was recaptured yesterday and was sent
to the tombs today. The telegraph
