! Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. I. Twelve
hundred state troops are encamped
on a hill overlooking Shenandoa h
| Down in the town where rioters and
policemen fought the bloody battle
Wednesday night all is quiet, and the
indications are that SO long as the
militia remains the peace of the
| community will not again be broken.
The riot, which caused the soldiers
to be sent here, came like aafash and
was over almost as quickly as it had
started, and since then there has not
been single case of violence report
ed. The tens Of thousands Of idle
men and boys in this vicinity who
had been gathering in large num-
bers and marching from place to
place, did not repeat their demon
STATIONS Thursday, and the authori-
ties consequently had little or moth
ing to do. = {. i
Dies of His Injuries.
Joseph Bedall, who was so badly
beaten by the mob Wednesday night,
died shortly after ten O'clock Thurs
day night. He was a brother Of Dep
uty Sheriff Thomas Bedall, and a
nephew Of S. r. Bedall, the sheriff OF
the county. He was 35 years Of age.
and was member Of the Bedall-Tag-
CART company, wholesale and retail
hardware dealers of this city. The.
four policemen who were shot and
the strikers who were also hit by bull
lets will recover. Most of the wounded
strikers claim they were merely on
lockers. The district attorney and
the sheriff are prosecuting an investi-
cation with view of placing under
arrest all those who participated in
the riot. Several of the wounded
strikers called at the miners hospital
Thursday to have slight injuries
dressed, and after the doctors got
through with them they were arrested
and taken to the Pottsville Jail.
Will Encourage Operators
All the local leaders of the United
Mine Workers deplore the shedding
of blood and the calling out of the |
troops. They say the presence of the
soldiers will encourage the operators
to start up their mines, and after the
colEeries in the Schuylkill district are
put in operation it will only be ques-
ton Of time until mines in other parts
Of the strike belt will resume. .sta
President MitchelYs Statement.
$50 Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. SHORTY
after noon President Mitchell OF the |
Mine Workers issued the following
statements: r " sEI@ z,1s. , !; g H..
"Wilkesbarre, Pa, July s1.-Compiete
and authentic: reports furnished BY ma
tlonal officers Of our Organization To-
Gated at Shenandoah show that the sto-
ries OF the riot at Shenandoah were
greatly exaggerated and the facts much
distorted. It develops that no one was
killed or fatally injured and that theI|
entire trouble might have been averted
mad the deputies kept cool and used
greater discretion. While I greatly dep
recate acts Of lawlessness by anyone
par ticularly by those on strike, am
naturally pleased to learn that the trou-
Die Is not as serious as first reported. II
nave repeatedly warned the strikers that
my violation of law on their part would
initiate against themselves alone. and I L
am hopeful that there will not be a rep
etltlon of trouble Of this character. q
