MINE WORKERS PROTEST.
| TIE mine workers are greatly incensad

assert that this action was entirely un-

| direction was taken this afternoon. when
| the following telegram was sent from
| here to Governor Stone:
1--WE. the officials Of the ninth district
| of the miners union. believe that this re-
| quest made to you to- send troops TO Shen-
| andoah was based upon exasgcration;
| ana as we are confirmed in this belief we
| respectfully request YOU to send a per-
sonal representative into this town to in
| vestigate the conditions, and after such
| Investigation, believe that you VIII learn
| that the presence of the troops in this
town is unnecessary, and that Inc order

DEPUTY SHERIFF RESPONSIBLE.
| It is said the mine workers officials in
tend to circulate among the citizens Of
the town for sigma lures a petition calling
| upon the Governor to withdraw the
troops. Miles Dougherty, National Board
| member OF the United Mine Workers
| f!om this district. told the Associated
| Press representative tonight that Dep
uty Sheriff Beddall. who is a nephew Of
the sheriff of the county. and who was
! eScorting wCrllmen along the street
| which action led to the riot was wholly
| responsible for the trouble Mr.. Dough
erty said Beddall had not good reason tC,

| UPON him. The firing of the revolver, he
said. angered the crowd. which soon got
| beyond the control of the peacemakers
| Beddall's brother, Joseph, who attempted
to so TO his rescue was badly beaten

/ said. because he was carrying several
boxes of cartridges to his brother, Thorn

ers will call upon the county officers to
| fix the responsibility fer the shooting on
! the part of the deputy sheriff
BEDDALL STILL LIVING
