CAPTURED merchant vessels manned by
prize crews The F1otil1a spread out

Janeiro and Bahia.
ION the morning of October &c, after
we left Bahia we saw gray war ves-
sci coming in our direction at great
speed. Soon we found out that the
warship was the Karlsruhe and that
the Van Dyck was prize of war. In
the wake of the cruiser there came
the steamship Farm, which we learned
later was a captured vessel.

TROOPS GUARD
NON-UNION MINERS
by ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Prairie Creek. Ark, Nov. 1e.-Thirty
non union miners accompanied by a
deputy United States marshal stopped
at Prairie Creek about s o'clock today
and then mysteriously disappeared. A
search finally located them at the
Griffth's Shaft, a quarter-mile from
the troops. Later they proceeded to
Prairie Creek mine No. 4, where they
were housed in shacks belonging to the
Bache- -Denman Company.
Apparently the presence OF the nom
union men was unknown to the union
men in Prairie Creek. Even when
they were located, there was little IN
terest shown by the union men.
Leaders of the Bach forces, after a
conference with Major N. F. Mcclure,
commanding the troops decided TO
keep the workers well within the lines
or the company property. It is believed
the first work will be done at the Grif-
nths shaft Another detachment OF
non-union men, it is said, will leave
Fort Smith today.
