West Virginia Governor Sends
Them to New River
District.
TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY
He Says, and Not to Settle the Strike.
Situation Became Quiet In Panther
Greek, Anthracite Region, Last
Night, After Rioting During Day.

Charleston, w. Va, Aug. 29.-Gov,
ernor White has ordered the Second
regiment of the West Virginia ma
tional guard to the New River dis.
trict, not, as he says, to settle the
strike, but to protect life and prop.
erty. Colonel Morrison, at Parkers-
burg, was given orders early yester
lay to call out his regiment and pro.
coed by special train to Thurmond,
which will be headquarters. The
cause for this action by the governor
is the appeal of Sheriff Daniel, of
Fayette county, for assistance, on the
ground that many citizens refuse to
respond to his summons to act as
deputies to enable him to execute the
orders of his court and his declaration
that he is powerless to protect life
and property. He communicated with
the governor Wednesday, when his
deputies were fired on in the vicinity
ii Red Ash, where they were eyict-
ing miners who are strikers and who
are in arrears for rent.

BACHELORS BACK.
Another Party Home from Cal
ifornia Excursion.
Saw no Prettier Town than Morgan
town-Met w. ). Montgomery-Left
Married Folks in Chicago.

Another party of the tourists to
California and other parts OF the far
west arrived Thursday night, glad
TO see the old familiar home town.
Most of the bachelors came in this
group. One of them, Max Waters
lett the crowd in California and
came back by way of the Santa Fe
Route to visit friends IN Kansas
Those arriving last night were:
S. F. Glasseock, L, Ray Ollie. Van
A. Barrickman, DIR. w. c. Kelley
and son Samuel
All the twenty members of the
party who went from here had
splendid health and have gotten lots
OF enjoyment out of the trip. DR..
Kelley SAYS through that Morgan
town the last one on the trip is the
prettiest, so the excursion has been
pretty well arranged to keep the
best till the last. Messrs Ed Snyder
and wife, George Vance and wife,
and Parker S johnson and wife
were left by the bachelors at Chi
cago from whence they went to An
derson Indiana to visit friends. Mr.
Snyder had not learned of the death
of Mr.. Piekenpaugh till be went to
the office Of Mr.. Ray Dering in Chi
cago. DR.. Kelly and those with him
did not learn of it till they reached
Pittsburg.
Some members Of the party visited
Red Bluff California, where w, S.
Montgomery, formerly proprietor of
the Montgomery planning mill Of this
place lives. He is living on small
fruit farm two miles from Red Bluff,
and carrying on the business OF a
contractor in the town. He is report
ed to be doing very well.
Harvey Fisher was left sitting on
the porch of hotel at Mr.. Shasta.
He was looking around for an invest.
ment in timber lands that would
promise good returns. He had not yet
learned OF the death of his brother
Clark Fisher at Cooks Hospital when
this party left him.
On the whole trip DR.. Kelly says
they travelled about 5000 miles at
total cost for railroad fare little
more than $73 which is less than |
cent per mile.
Samuel Kelley can tell you probably
more about the trip than any other
member of the party. He was the
junior member and he was close
observer. He always knew the name
of the railroad the party was on at
any given time, and hour their train
was due at the next stopping place.

TROOPS ON GROUND
Second Regiment w. v. NJ G.
Patrolling Riotous District.

Gov. White Issues Statement of Caus-
es impelling him to Call cut Sol
diers-Laws of the State to be Strict
ly Enforeed-CoaI Company not TO be
Favored above Workmen.
CHARLESTON, Aug. 29-The Second
Regiment of the West Virginia Ma
tional Guard embracing two compan-
les from Parkersburg, three from
Huntington, one from Milton, one
from Ronceverte and one from Char
lesion, the latter including signal
corps, are now at Thurmond, having
been ordered out by Governor White
for the purpose OF preventing disorder
in the New river mining region. Gov
ernor White gives his reasons as fol-
lows:
81 ordered the troops sent because
the sheriff of Fayette county made
formal demand in writing upon me
and came 10 person TO see me, stating
that he was powerless, with posse
comitatus, to control the situation
and keep the peace and preserve per-
sons and property in Fayette county
from violence and destruction, be-
cause repeated attempts at assassina-
tion had Teen made, several men had
been assaulted and wounded and con-
ditions existed, owing to the topogra
ply OF Fayette county and the NUM-
erous operations which made IL im-
possible for him To effectively repress
disorder.
"He demanded aid to keep peace
and order, and from Investigations
made by me and the outbreak yester-
day at Red Ash / felt 1t my duty To
respond to the call of the sheriff for
aid, believing that he had exhausted
every effort and tried To do his full
duty.
II have instructed my private sec
rotary who accompanies the troops to
the New river coal fields to explicitly
state to all concerned that the milit la
is sent only to suppress lawlessness
and to protect life and property and
not for the purpose OF breaking the
strike nor to act in any sense as guards
or policemen for the coal operators.
My purpose only is TO enforce the laws
of the state.
lin addition TO all this / have Civ
en- verbal and written instructions TO
the commanding officers TO exercise
wise discretion in preserving the peace
and protecting the property and peo-
pie from violence Eand destruction at
the same time requiring that they be
firm in maintaining order.
Personally | regret very much the
necessity for taking this step, but
when called upon by the chief law Of
ficer of Fayette county for aid there is
no other alterna tive but to render
such assistance as the military arm Of
government can give

paratiOns For the Start Now Being
Made Seven New Teachers.


Made Seven New Teachers.
After the teachers examination
Thursday and Friday, conducted
by Prot. Gallup, Prof Deahl and
Prof Hodges, preparations will
be made for opening the public
schools on Monday.
The urchins are hunting up their
book satehels, busting off the old
readers and grammer,s and the
mothers are getting their better
clothes in order, ready tor the nine
months of Imprisonment which be-
Gin September first.
The boys and girls have had a
fine summer for outdoor exercise.
They have been comparatively free
from sickness and robust by a good
use of the simmer vacation.
Many new faces will be met by
both teachers and students this
year. There are seven new teachers
for all the students to meet, and
many new pupils who haye moved
into the city since the close of the
schools last winter. The same gen
iallov of children is here for super
intendent however and the same
gen tie kind hearted principal. sc
there need be no cause for dreading
the new conditions that may be en-
countered.
Monday will be a lonesome day
for many mothers, who have been
accustomed to having from two to
four youngsters about the premises
all day long. And it will be no less
difficult for the children to stand
confinement after the free out door
lie to which they have become ac-
customed.
All will hope that the schools
may be free from the interruptions
caused by diseases which caused sc
much loss of time last year.
Two new rooms will be opened in
the main building and room for pri-
mary work on Wiles Hill will be es-
tablished.
1t is hoped that parents will not
permit their children to start for
school at too early an hour. Ne
pupil should reach the building be-
fore $50.
All children entering school for
the first time are requested to bring
from their parents their names and
the date Of their birth.
The pupils will assemble in the
same rooms they occupied last year.
The superintendent will he glad
TO see any parents OF pupils who de-
sire to consult with him Saturday
a. m at the school building. Teach
ers will meet Friday at 1880.

have offered a reward of 500 for
any news of him or for his recovery
