strikers Occupy Mountain
Passes.

Huntington, w. Va, June 26.-Yes-
terday a posse Of deputy United States
marshals, led by A. c. Hufford of Blue
field, were fired on by the strikers and
forced to flee from the coal fields at
Matewan. Sunday afternoon the mar
shals set out from Bluefield to reach
the scene of the miners riots. When
they arrived within twenty miles of
Thacker they found that they could
proceed no further by rail on account
Of the flood. They struck out across
the mountains, e~ncountering almost
.insurmountable difficulties, and late
Sunday afternoon reached their desti-
nation. They began Immediately serv-
ing notices Of the injunction which had
been issued by Judge Jackson. A mob
of strikers followed armed to the teeth.
On all sides could be heard the cry
down with government by injunc-
tion." Men threatened them with their
weapons, women called down the VEN
geance of heaven upon them and chill
dren hurled stones. When nightfall
came notice had been served on the
strikers of all the coal companies u
one, and that was to be served at
Lick Fork Coal and Coke company at
Thacker.
Fearing an Ambush,
they waited until morning, and early
yesterday set out for Thacker. Some
time before noon they attempted to
serve the injunction papers in the
above named. colliery.. A mob followed
enraged to desperation at the sweeping
character Of the injunction. One reck-
less fellow fired the first shot and quick
as lightning the mountain sides echoed
and re-echoed- with the cracks of twen-
ty or thirty rifles. The deputies were
forced to TAKE refuge in. flight and then
barely escaped with their lives. The
strike situation is assuming a frightful
stage. Sheriff Hatfield has withdrawn
all his deputies because it is said he
does not believe in the policy being
used to put down the strike. The
United States marshals have been left
alone, and after being chased from the
fields yesterday, 1t is believed that they
will be strongly REINFORCED and ready
to fight when they again appear to en-
force the injunction. A lot Of strikers,
almost a thousand strong, have crossed
over into Kentucky and are occupying
the mountain passes. Here they are
out of reach Of the depaty marshals
and command the entrances to the
collieries.

young woman to whom he was engaged
went out in a thirty-foot sloop and
when rounding Keyser island noticed
the approach of a squall. The sails
were lowered, the little craft anchored
in the lee of the land, and the party
had just taken refuge in the cabin
when a sudden gust of wind fairly
lifted the yacht out of the water ano
dropped it back again, broadside up
permost. Col. sloan's companion was
rescued, but his body was only found
after successive dives on the part OF
searchers.
