Officers Were Serving Injunction Notices Restraining Strikers
 from Interference RECKLESS MAN FIRED SHOT
The Marshals Responded and Noun. tains RaIM With Echoes of Win chesters-Strike Situation Is
 Assuming Serious Aspect

Huntington W. Va. June 2A-Today a posse of United States deputy marshals, led by A. c. Hufford of Blueheld, were fired on by the strikers and forced to flee from the coal fields at Mattewan. Yester- day afternoons the marshais, under the leadership of A. c. Hufford. set out for Bluefield to reach the scene of the min CTS riots. When they arrived within 20 miles of Thacker they found that they could proceed no further by rail on &C., count of the flood. The struck out across the mountains, encountering almost in- surmountable difficulties and late Sun day afternoon reached their destination Proceeding to work, they began serving 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 Down with gov- ernment by injunction"
 Men threatened the posse 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 strlk- CTS of all the coal companies but one. Fearing an ambush. the posse waited un- til morning and early today set out for Thaeker. Some time before noon they attempted to serve the injunction papers at the colliery. A mob followed, enraged to desperation at the sweeping character of the injunction. One reckless fellow fired the first shot and quick as light ming the mountain sides echoed and re- echoed with resounding reports that fol- lowed the crack of twenty or thirty rifles The deputies were forced to take refuge in flight and then barely escaped l with their lives. The strike situation Is assuming seri- ous aspect. Sheriff Hatfield has with drawn 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 field today 1t is believed they will be strongly reinforce ed and ready to fight when they again ap- pear to enforce the injunction. Tug River divides Virginia from Kentucky. On each side the mountains are almost perpendic- ular and the entire distance from brink to brink is not more than 500 yards. On the mountain side of West Virginia the collieries are located. On the Kentucky side are nothing but mountain paths. A lot of strikers. almost a thousand strong, have crossed over into Kentucky and are occupying the mountain passes. There they are out of reach of the deputy mar shals and command the entrances to the collieries. The strikers have nothing but hatred and contempt for the marshals, and 1t is said that at the mass meeting at Thacker on Saturday night they decided to ignore the injunction.

CANAL TREATY.
Secretary Hay Sounding Senators on
 the Subject of a New Treaty.

Secretary Hay has in hand several mat ters of negotiations that are very near his heart. For instance he has, after the most exhaustive investigation and sound ing of Senators. satisfied himself that he has been able to find firm foundation on which to construct another canal treaty to replace the Hay-Pauncefote treaty that failed, and one that will be almost certain to command the approval of the Senate. It is his ambition to re- move absolutely as a source of possible conflict in the future, the misunderstand- ings resulting from the efforts to apply the Clayton-Bulwer treaty to the condi- tions of today. This object is almost within reach. he feels. and his friends and intimates here are satisfied that he will allow no private affliction to inter- fere with the consummation of this plan.
 Officials feel warranted in denying that there is any foundation for the rumors of the intended resignation.

Vienna, June 25.--The Sonn Und Mon tags zeitung points out that even should the European powers form an European customs combination against the United States their position would be unfavora- ble because they would be obliged to con- tinue to import quantities of foodstuffs from the United States.

APPALLING NEWS OF DEATH AND
 DESTRUCTION IN FLOOD DISTRICT

caused by cloudburst along the head waters of that stream on Saturday, is a thing unprecedented in the history of that section and the destruction of property along the Elkhorn and Dry Fork and down the Tug river to it's mouth is ap- palling. The cloudburst occurred near the headwaters of the Elkhorn and Dry Fork rivers, whose confluence near Welch form the main Tug river.
 The Elkhorn Is followed by the Norfolk and Western Railroad for twenty miles and it is reported that for ten miles that road Is practically a wreck and several days will be required to repair the great damage which has been done. Along the coal regions of the Ellzhorn and the numerous big lumber plants lower down. box cars were swept away in the rushing flood and are lodged along the streams against the rugged mountain sides. Many of the cars were loaded, and with their cargo, are practically a total loss. All the lumber plants are great losers to an extent conservatively estimated at mil- lion and a half
 At Iages Station the river rose to the imfnensa> height of thirty-one feet inside of three hours, deluging every house in the little town and washing away many of the outbuildings In some instances dwellings were swept from their founda- AiOiiot bdl AOaSNo diOtA6 lAAO ilNSAi 0ts large. and more substantial ones. and were thus saved from destruction.
 Higher up the river the destruction is said to be even greater. At Vivian many houses were washed away and several lives are reported lost Not over 100 yards of the railroad between there and Ennis a distance of ten miles, appears to be left intact. All towns above there occupying lowlands were submerged and many houses were washed away Ritter's saw mills at Panther are reported to have been destroyed, and every lumber plant in Mcdowell and Mercer counties has suf- fered great damage. It is safe to say that not more than 100 persons have perished and it may be that not more than one half or possibly one-fourth that number have been lost.
 Much live stock has been drowned Among the drift and debris which fills the river are numbers of horses, cattle and hogs. Several horses, saddles and brides were seen to float by, rendering it proba- ble that the riders had either been drown ed or had been compelled to desert them and flee to the mountain side for safety.

Shot Leaders.

Bfueneld, w. Va~, June A.-Details of the fearful flood In the Pocahontas flat top coal region show that fifty dead bodies have been found. Thousands of people are homeless and 1t is feared are without food, or at best with only food enough to last at most several days.
 It is reported that Dr. Hatfield, a prom inent physician and a kinsman of the famous feudists of this section, was com pelled to shoot two negro plunerers who were robbing defenseless flood sufferers. The recovery of bodies in the past twen- ty-four hours has not amounted to many. The reason assigned Is that the corpses of the missing are hidden in mammoth piles of debris. Some of these piles are thirty feet high and cover in some in- stances as much as half acre of ground and it is the work of days to search them. It has been suggested that the best plan would be to burn these masses of debris, but friends of the dead are loud in their denunciation of the idea So bitter is the feeling regarding this matter that If it Is attempted bloodshed will be the re- suit. Up to tonight only some fifty bodies have been recovered yet the list of miss ing and reported drowned is 249.
 At Algoma a number of miners stand ing on a high point in water waist deep rescued twenty-three women and children as they fioated past
 Further details from the Clinch valley are to the effect that three members of the Vandike family are now dead from injuries received fin the flood.
 At Pounding NH four persons were drowned:
 John T. Tate, Mrs. Clara Hoops and two children.
 The town of Liberty Hill. in Tasewell County, was swept away, only two houses being left standing. When the wa tar had reached the second story of the Methodist parsonage W. L. Moore fas- tened ropes about the bodies of the wife and two daughters of Rev. MT. Wagner and dragged them through the flood to safety. Others were rescued in like man ner.
