THE HOME GUARDIANS.
Lodge No. I, o. H. 6. Organized Last
Friday Night With Large
Membership.

If a good start is any criterion as to
what may be the ultimate outcome of
an enterprise, surely the Order of
Home Guardians will be a grand sue
cess. This new fraternal insurance
order of Canton held its first meeting
last Friday night at which time local
Lodge No. /, o. H. G.. was organized
with a large membership. The meet
ing was called for the K. p. hall, and
at an early hour applicants, both ladies
and gentlemen, soon filled the hall. 1t
was readily seen that these quarters
were two small to accommodate the
crowd and it was decided to arrange to
adjourn to the Odd Fellow hall. but on
account of that order being in session
it necessitated a"delay and twas quite
late before the meeting was called to
order. While the weather was very
disagreeable there were enough to fill
the hall to it's utmost capacity. The
order starts out with fine member
ship in its local lodge. Lodge No. 1
was organized by the election of the
following officers for the ensuing year:
Rev. John Hamerson. Pres; Miss Clara
Nash, Vice-Pres. W. J. Byrnes, Secy.;

Reported Invasion Denied.

indianapolis, April 1S.-Re-
garding the report from Earring
ton, KY, that the union miners
in the bituminous coal fields
about Evansville are making
preparations for an armed inva-
sion of the Hopkins county, Ky.,
district for the purpose Of fore
ing the miners there to Join the
organization, Secretary Wilson,
Of the United Mine Workers, said
today:
The report is all bosh. con-
slider it an excellent pipe dream.
However, there is probably some
thing else behind it. IL looks
like an effort on the part Of the
Hopkins county operatOrs to pre-
judice the miners against the or
sanization. There is nothing
whatever in the report and the
organization does not pursue that
policy. Men who have to be
forced out make poor strikers.

said:
If such n movement was on

You can say for me that there

This Is simply an excuse of the

Sebree, KY, April l9.-The tug
and barge load Of Indiana miners
came up Green river early this
morning, landing two and one
half miles from Sebree. Two
hundred and fifty men marched
in through the mud and back
water and attempted TO reach the
mines of the Sebree Coal Com
pany. They were met at the
railroad near the mines by Sher-
ill' Hubbard and Marshal Biggs,
with forty or fifty deputies, and
warned to disperse. The party
was first met by Marshal Biggs
and stopped, after which the
sheriff came and took charge.
The invading party retreated
and tramped back over the hill
toward the river. Warrants are
in the hands of the officers for
the arrest of the party, and, it is
said, will be executed if the in
vaders come again. Large num-
bers of them were armed with
revolyers, but the determined at
titude of the officers put a sud
den check to their progress.
The business men of Sebree
and citizens generally are eX-
pressing Indignation ut the inva-
sion, and are standing solidly
behind the officers. The EN-
ployes of the Sebree Coal Com
pany are doing guard and police
duty today.

Evansville, Ind, April 1S-The
coal mining situation assumed
an alarming phase here this eve
ming. Several hundred miners,
many of whom are armed, left
here this evening by special boat
for Western Kentucky, where
they go to enforce the Indiana
scale Of wages. The United
Mine Workers are responsible
for the present trouble. Several
secret meetings have been held
here this week, with the result
that Il steamboat was chartered
and stocked with food, and the
men go to enforce demands that
have failed through peaceable
means.
The miners will 20 to East

from that point they will invade

Darlington, Ky., April 19-The
invasion of Indiana Union miners
forecast in dispatches from here
last night happened today in ex-
actly the manner predicted. The
barge and tug from Evansville
touched at Spottsville Oh the way
and picked up re-enforcements
which swelled the number to $50
or 400. Reaching ford quar-
ter of a mile below Eastwood
Landing, two miles from Sebree,
about I O'Clock this morning,
about 250 disembarked and
marched 20 Sebree through mud
and water. They reached the
city limits at 6 80 and proceeded
toward the shaft of the Sebree
Coal Company.
On the railroad, near the shaft
at the edge Of the company's
property, they were halted by
City Marshal Biggs and party and
told they could go no further.
Sheriff Hubbard then took charge
Of the warrants and told the in
vaders they would be arrested if
they went on the cornpany's prop
erty; that they could talk to the
men il the men wanted to talk
with them, but they could not go
on the property to do it. The
Sebree miners called ont to the
crowd tnat they did not want to
talk with them, and the officers
notified the invaders they must
leave. The party was only in
Sebree about one hour.
1t then marched back to the
river, embarked and dropped
doen the river, passing Spotts-
vile at 2:l5 o'clock. At $50
the transport was laid up above
the Illinois Central incline above
Evansville and did not reach that
city until after dark. 1t is re-
liably reported that they fired
several hundred shots in the air
as they dropped down stream
from the landing.
BY request Of City Marshal
Biggs, of Sebree, several men
went from Darlington last night
to assist him as deputies in the
emergency. There we're only
about forty men sworn in as posse
men, and a number OF these were
not put on daty at the mines.
Threats of invasion to shut down
non-nnion mines in the Hopkins
county district have been made
for wears. This is the first at
tempt ever made to carry such
threats into effect. 1t was
