 in the hollow with mountains arising high in the air all the way around.
 weston's accident happened about S:S0 o'clock while he and another deputy were in their tent. It apepars that the end of the barrel was resting against his left leg, and that the trigger became en- tangled in the springs on his cot. which snapped It. There are three surgeons in the camp and the injured man was given immediate attention. The bone was shat tered and there is fear that 1t may be necessary to amputate the leg near the thigh. Weston showed remarkable grit hardly a moan passing his lips.
 The courage of the young soldiers showed up splendidly during the grind they have been put through With prac- tcally no sleep they have marched and counter-marched across mountains, under a broiling sun, with remarkable fortitude. Most of them are youngsters who are en1- ployed in offices, stores and shops, and who are not exposed much to the wealth CT. The manner in which they stood the RTu61lllB WOTh DTOuSHl 1OIln Ildny CA- pressions of commendation from their of- ficers.
 The strike-b breakers are fed by the coal company, two large tents having been erected for use as dining halls, one for whites and the other for negroes. The soldiers and guards are also served their meals here. A large force of cooks and assistants are employed. The families of the strke-breakers are also being fed by the company.
 A large number of the strikers as- sembled here today but were unarmed. There were also large assemblies of the strikers at Coalburg, Republic, Brookside, Cardiff, Adamsville and other camps, but the edict sent forth by the sheriff that any man, other than an officer of the law or militiaman, having weapons upon him would be arrested, seeming to have effect. No report of any disorder was received Some slight friction arose between some of the deputy sheriffs and con stables of the various beats in this
  rested soldiers and special deputies for carrying a weapon smaller than the law allows This little difference is now believed to be smoothed over.
 Chief Deputy Sheriff Lucien Brown, who is also major of the guard, is at the camp and running affairs.
 Today was pay day here; also at Dora, and a number of other places Only about $500 was paid out at Bloss- burg, this being paid to the strikers There was a long stream of the strik- CTS pouring into the Blossburg camp all day long.
 When the soldiers and deputies ar rived at Adamsvlle at 2 o'clock this morning they found number of per sons at the railroad station. They were quickly dispersed and told to go to their homes.
 J. N. Crowley, president of Adamsvillo lodge No. of the union miners, expressed indignation at this and accused the deputies of trying to make life unpleasant. Said MT. Crowley: T have been living here nine years, am president of No. 1, and have also served a term as chief of police of Adamsville. The men in our union have been urged to use no violence. It was due to efforts of the union that Governor Conner called out the National Guard. We made this request because of the fact that the deputies have been caus- ing all of the trouble. For instance, last .~xb4 vile several of us had gathered at the depot to welcome them. None of us were armed and there was not thought Of anything else but hospitality Despite this as soon as the soldiers and deputies left the train the deputies approached and leveling their guns upon us ordered us to go home. It is such acts as these on the part of the deputies which is causing trouble.''
 The arrest of the 10 Italians at Bessie Mines was done upon warrants sworn out by Constable Goosby of that place. There was no 'mix-up," nor resistance to arrest The warrants charged intimidation, t being alleged that the Italians were nov ing among the workers and endeavoring to persuade them to strike.
 As to whether todays quietness is of any significance one way or the other is a matter which Is puzzling the officers It is said that the miners are able to as semble at least 600 men at any point in the district affected by the strike within two hours notice.
 While this fact might appear conster- hating to the officers of the law, the mili- tia officers state that they do not feel any fear about handling a crowd no more
