1t was generally understood at the
time the troops were ordered out that
Muscatine county would be held for
the entire expense, and 1t was for that
reason that many of the citizens there

called upon for such expense as was
entailed by the local company, which
was called out by the sheriff.
The Des Moines company was re-
placed on the second instance in which
troops were ordred to the scene bv the
Fairfield company on request of the
citizens with the understanding that
the expenses would be met bv the

WATER IN MINES.
Workmen Tapped a Great Fountain
at Hawkeye Last Week.

The English Creek Coal company
of Oskaloosa, had considerable trou-
BILE with water at their mines at
Hawkeye last week The Knoxville
Journal says: Monday evening the
wOrkmen in the new slope struck an
abandoned prospect hole that was full
of water and appeared TO be connect
ed with a regular fountain. During
the night the entire works were flood
ed, the water extending back along
the new entry galleries distance Of
200 feet and from four inches to six
feet in depth, depending upon where
the measurements were taken. At the
head of the drift the entire mine was
full. This incident has no effect on
the main works of English Creek Co.,
which are situated some distance
from the new works. Pumps have
been put to work and the entry driv-
ers will soon be able to rturn to their
labors. Since the slope was put down
to the coal the entries through the
vein have been extended back about
200 feet. These figures give some
idea of the amount of water in the
mine Tuesday morning"
