Some Arrests Made by Sheriff of
Claiborne County and Worst

Knoxville, Tenn. Aug. 1S.-At midnight
the situation near Jellico. where the up
rising of white miners against negroes

Sheriff Hughes of Claiborne county.
Tennessee. today arrested five members
of the band believed to be the leaders,
and this has done much to relieve the sit
uation.
Early this morning the band drove thir-
ty negroes out of their homes at Camp
bells mine, near Anthras rousing them
from their sleep and forcing them to leave
hastily, some half clad.
1t is stated that the members of the
band have notified the negroes OF eight or
ten camps, scattered over several miles
TO get out within three days. or they will
be killed. Many negroes and some white
residents today continued to flock to Jel-
leo and other towns 1t was reported
also that some time last night a cabin oc-
cupied by an aged negro woman and five
children had been burned and all the oc-
cupants lost their lives, but this has not
been verified.
Threats were sent out today against the
negroes of the towns of La Toilette and
Jellico, but the authorities do not take
them seriously.
