BLUEFIELD, W. Va, Aug. 2s.-It was re-
ported to-day that two strikers and two
guards had been killed and several men
wounded In a fight at the Crane Creek col
Heries. Investigation shows the report was
greatly exaggerated, though there is con-
siderable excitement on Crane creek and
Simmons creek over the recent shootings.
John Ruble blacksmith employed by the
Sycamore Coal and Coke Company, was
the only man killed by striking miners to-
day. Ruble. in company with Barney Shu-
mate, of this city, who had been employed
as a guard, left the company store TO go to
a point on the works TO stand guard. the
company feared a visit from the mob. En-
route they were fired and Ruble fell.
Shumate was armed with a rifle and opened
fire on the miners. who. after their first
volley. ran. None of them has been ar
rested. The nonunion men who took the
strikers places are terrorized and good

entire Second Regiment, State troops, ar
rived here this evening and tonight are
being distributed about various coal opera
tions on which trouble resulted yesterday.
Three companies of militia will be sta
toned at Rush Run, two miles west, where
yesterday five hundred shots were fired
across New river between strikers and
guards. The strikers opened fire on non
union men going to work and the guards
returned the fire None Of the guards was
was injured and so far as known no strik-
er was seriously hurt. The strikers gath
cred in the woodlands and rocky cliffs on
New river on the opposite side from Rush
Run mines and kept up a continual fire
throughout the day This led to the mill
tia being ordered out. Sheriff Daniel thinks
the strikers are becoming more determined
and that il was absolutely impossible to
deal with the situation. Almost every mine
in the Kanawha and River River districts
is being operated on a SIMILAR scale. In
these fields probably two thousand miners
are at work and six or eight thousand idle.
Considerable property has already been de-
stroyed and it is believed the sending of
the troops will tend to enrage the strikers
more than ever and bloodshed may soon re-
suit The operators are determined, and
state empha tically that they have no fnten-
tion of considering a single demand made
by the strikers

ACTION OF THE GOVERNOR.
Ordered Out Troops Merely to Protect
Life and Property.

CHARLESTON. w. Va, Aug. 2S-Gov-
ernor White ordered the Second regiment of
troops to Thurmond, New river strike dis
trict to-day. The troops are from Parkers-
burg. Huntington, Milton. Charleston and
Ronceverte. They have established head
quarters at Thurmond. The situation is
very acute. Sheriff Daniel, who is here to-
day from Fayette county, says he is pow
erless TO Tepress disorder and property and
life are in constant danger. Nearly every
body refuses 70 act deputy sheriffs to
assist in the eviction of the striking miners.
and hence the sheriff made a request for
troops. Men concealed along the mountain
sides fire at the guards and miners going
TO work and then disappear Governor
White says he sends the troops TO protect
life and property. but not to settle the
strike. That. he says. belongs to the min
ers and operators. Great danger of a seri-
Gus outbreak is imminent in the New river
fields.
Governor White to-day gave out the fol-
lowing statement: II ordered the troops
sent because the sheriff of Fayette county
made formal demand in writing upon me
and came in person 10 see me. stating that
he was powerless with a posse comitatus

Head to a Gas jet.

ly by means of heavy cords wound tightly
around her neck. Then she turned on the
gas When her husband came home ne
