CURED anywhere Brigadi2r General
Goblin was unusually alert, however,
and kept soldiers in readiness for in
slant use all day long Many stories
of threatened trouble reached him, hut

them down without sending ont n de-
tail of men.
officers around headquarters feel that
the tension is increasing and would not
be surprised il some Of the troops now
in camp here were sent into the sur
rounding region.
Probably the most important devel-
opment in the Shenandoah region today
was the arrest and commitment 20 the
county Jail of two wounded Lithuani-
ans who participated in the riot of last
week The arrest was attended with a
considerable show of military force,
they being taken into custody by con-
stables who were surrounded by a pla-
toon of infantrymen and being taken
through the streets under strong
guard.
The prisoners were located IN board
ing houses in the heart Of the foreign
quarter of the town Each had been
shot i'm the foot during the riot and
was unable to walk.
The constables feared that trouble
would result when they arrested them
and upon their suggestion General GO
bin sent platoon of company L of the
Twelfth regiment to protect them.
Soldiers Surround House.
The soldiers formed line around
the houses and the two men were car
ried from the houses and placed IN an
open wagon A crowd of foreigners of
different nationalities followed the sol
diers and the prisoners TO the Office of
SQUIRE Shoemaker, where the prisoners
were given a hearing.
The Lithuanians, along with fellow
countryman who was arrested late sat
urday night on the charge OF being a
participant in the riot. were then ar
raigned The principal witness was
Thomas r. Beddall, a deputy sheriff,
who was in the riot. He identified the
men and testified to having shot them
in the feet. The three men were then
held on 5000 bail each, and in de-
fault they were taken to the jail at
Pottsville.
During the night several shots were
heard in Shenandoah between brigade
Headquarters and camp This gave rise
to a rumor that the camp was again
being attacked. but an official lnvesu-
CATION proved the rumor to Oe untrue.
The provost marshal is making a
searching investigation as TO who did
the shooting.
The cavalry took another dash
across the country today for exercise,
this time going in the direction of
FrickviIle. The region generally re-
mains quiet.
Three members of company I of the
Twelfth regiment, who left the camp
last night without leave, were chased
by a crowd of men on the outskirts of
town, and sought refuge in the house
of Squire McGuinneSs at Frickyille.
The soldiers VIII be courtmartialed.

Ongh officials conferred today with
General Goblin and confessed their in
ability to cope with the situation in
the southern section OF Shenandoah,
where the Cambridge coHiery is To-
Gated, and asked that troops be sent
there.
The officials alleged that men gather
in that part of town and modest every
person. not excepting women, that
happens along Men could no longer
work there in safety, and threats are
openly made. General Goblin consent
ed to station two companies OF in
fantry in the locality.
