STRIKERS LAWLESS
Farmers Complain Of Repeat
ed Depredations.
PRODUCE AND POULTRY CARRIED OFF
State Protection Demanded = Fani-
lies of Miners, Complaining of
Hunger, Are Daily Fed at
the Soldiers Camp.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Aug. ~,
Complaint has been made to brigade
headquarters that strikers are foraglng
In the rich agricultural district of the
Catawissa valley, which spreads It's
broad and fertile length along the 9th
er side of the mountains north of this
city. The life Of one farmer has been
threatened because he attempted to
protect his property, and the RAIDS
have reached such serious proportion
that the farmers are preparing to take
some concerted action to stop further
depreda ton. 1t is not unlikely thaC
cavalry will be sent into the district
for the purpose of stopping the raids.
If the cavalry is sent there, it is prob
able that platoon of the troopers will
be left in the valley to patrol the farms
day and night. The farmers are draw
ing up petition asking for protection,
which will be sent to the sheriff In
case General Goblin decides not to send
the troops into the valley.
Lucien Munbeck, farmer, reported
that for some time past raids have
been made on his place by parties of
men. Early yesterday morning he
caught a man tearing out whole stacks
of corn He ordered the man off the
place, and as he was leaving he fired
two shots at the farmer. The latter
was armed, but did not shoot.
A widow who owns a farm reported
that several men came on her prem
ises and started to dig potatoes She
ordered them off the patch, but they
paid no attention to her and did not
leave until they had taken all they
needed. One farmer has several men
patrolling his farm day and night. The
foragers do not confine themselves to
stealing crops, but also take poultry.
The soldiers in camp are daily feed
ing several hundred women and chill
dren. They come there saying they are
hungry, and as there is more than
enough food in the camp to supply the
wants of the men the officers permit
the soldiers to give something to the
needy applicants. The number that
came last week was small, but is in
creasing every day. Some lof the iwo-
men and all of the children come to
camp in their bare feet. Many of them
bring baskets to carry the food home.
1t is common sight to see some of the
women and children take scraps from
the leavings of the soldiers. Colonel
Hoffman of the Eighth regiment was
asked if all these persons were foreign
ers, and he replied that a good many
belonged to the English speaking
classes.
The officials of the Mine Workers
union deny there is any actual want.
They maintain the local unions are
well able at this time to take care of
all cases of distress.

A Lively Battle.

SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. IA lively
battle has occurred between deputies
and strikers at Throop, an isolated
mining village six miles north Of here.
Scores of syots were exchanged, but as
far as is known no one was hit. The
one colliery in the village is operated
by the Pancoast Coal company, a
branch of the Ontario and Western
coal department. Last Tuesday the
washery was started under the protec-
tion OF armed deputies. There has been
some stone throwing at the deputies
and clubbing of workmen, and on sew
eraI occasions the deputies discharged
their guns to frighten away boys who
pelted the washery with sling shots.
Yesterday the four deputies guarding
the colIiery, located on the river bank,
were driven to cover by volley Of
shots from the opposite shore. They
returned the fire and silenced the at
tack Last night when darkness fell
the attack on the pumphouse was re-
lnewed. The company anticipated it
and had big force of deputies on
hand. For an hour bullets flew thick
and fast.

numors OF Opening CoIIieries,

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. r.
The striking miners had their pickets
at number of mines in the region
yesterday morning, but when it be-
came evident that no attempt would be
made to resume work they quickly
withdrew. The Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal company is said to be get
ting things in readiness to resume
work at one of its big mines this week.
Inquiry was made at the Office of the
company about the matter, but the Off
Gals in charge refused to give out any
Information. The operating of the
breaker at the Mount Lookout colliery
of the Temple Coal and Iron companp
at Wyoming creates no uneasiness at
strike headquarters, but some of the
strike leaders are said to be apprehen-
sive that an attempt will be made by
two OF the companies some day this
week to start up colliery or two in
the region.
