Yesterday morning ruror gained

the No. colliery. where the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation company is min
ing and cleaning coal. The colliery is
at the west end of Panther creek VAL
ley. and the Governors troop was or
dered to that point. Companies F and
X, of the Twelfth regiment. were
placed on trolley cars and run through
the valley. When the cars reached
Summit hill they were surrounded by
mob of strikers who hurled rocks at
the soldiers and called them hard
names. The troopers started back to
camp, and as the cars rounded a curve
just outside of Summit hill, at point
where the cars take an abrupt dip,

a mob had gathered there. and for
time it looked like a riot. AS the
first car was passing through the mob
Capt. Gearhart was struck on the right
shoulder by a stone. Several soldiers
jumped from the car in pursuit of the
stone 1hrower. After an exciting
scuf1ie they captured Joseph Mccain,
a young miner.
They proceeded again, but had not
gone far when another crowd was
encountered and the soldiers were
again tainted and stoned. Half a
dozen soldiers jumped off and captured
three men who. it is alleged, were
urging the crowd to attack the troops.
The officers of the regiment all agree
that the situation is serious. They
say the feeling against the soldiers is
very intense in Coalsadel, Lansford
and Summit Hill.
