SEBREE, KY, April 23.
\ telephone message was received
here from Boonville, Ind, last night
stating that the miners of that sec
ton were reorganizing and expected
to return TO Kentucky some time
this week. The message stated that
the invaders would return some time
this week with force of 800 or |, 900.
The citizens of Sebree are agitated
over the matter and preparations are
being made for their reception in the
event that they return. Several of
the employees of the Sebree Coal Co.
are kept on duty as guards at night,
armed with Winchesters and shot
guns, ready to meet the situation in
case of any trouble. The operators
are not looking for any trouble, but
since the first invasion strong de-
| termination to enforce the law is in
the minds of every citizen and
should they return again serious
trouble may be expected. 1t is sin
cerely hoped that no further trouble
will he had but the citizens of Se-f
bree, like those of other parts Of the
state, ito not propose to be dictated
to by any class of invaders from any
| state. The farmers of the commu-
nifty have expressed their willing
further trouble arises. With all
these things in view it will be safe to
| state that it will he best for the In
diana miners to remain on the other
side of the river.
