MINING TOWN
SWEPT BY FIRE
BUSINESS DISTRICT
OF ESKDALE IS GONE
One Hundred People Home
=, less-Soldiers Sent to
Scene as Guards.

CHARLESTON. ". Va, July g.
Fire originating in an oil stove started
a disaster this afternoon at 1880
o'clock which swept the little mining
town Of Eekdale, near here, DESTROYED
practically the entire business section
Of the town, rendered over one hun
dred people homeless and caused a
loss in buildings, estimated at approx
imately $4,000. which does not in
clude the stock and furnishings In
several OF, the stores.
Appeals for aid were sent TO this
city and tonight Adjutant General
John c. Bond is on the scene direct
ing relief work. and Colonel Morrison,
acting upon orders from Governor
CornEell. sent a squad OF soldiers
from the Second West Virginia reEi-
nent TO act as guards. Every avail
able tent was taken to the scene TO
afford shelter from the elements TO-
night and relief work will be fully
organized tomorrow.
The fire swept down the main street.
consuming twenty-four business houses
and dwellings in its path. Volunteer
fire lighters fought vallantly. bur la
boring under the handicap OF a strong
wind sweeping down Cabin Creek. II
was necessary to dynamite some
houses and to redouble efforts to pre-
vent the Gre from consuming the en-
tire toRn.
Only lhrce stores are left in the
town. they being isolated from the
business sections. The heaviest loss
vas sustained BY \. Joseph's depart
nent store. which was valued at $2O.-
non. Risk Brothers store and three
dwellings. valued at s10.ooor were de-
s,royed. Other losses were sustained
ranging from $4,000 10 $500.
This is the second disaster TO risli
Eskdale in a year. a flood having
swept the little town last summer
causing loss OF life and general devas'
tation. The town was just raising its
head from the effects OF the previous
calamity when the fire occurred.
The only injuries thus far reported
we're some slight burns sustained oy
the fire fighters.

COAL OPERATORS USE VAGRANCY
LAW To KILL MINERS STRIKE

SUTTON, ". Va. July 2.-The nrst
arrest under the vagrancy law In
Braxton county occurred to-day. E. E.
Coulter. q miner employed by the West
Virginia Coal & Coke Company at tts
Bower mine. was apprehended on
charge Of violating that law.
Coulter is a leader among the MI
ners at that point. and for the last
month Is said to have been endeavor-
ing to organize the miners working
with him and induce them to Join the
United Mine Workers organization.
By reason Of this alleged activity he
and several others whom he had In
duced 10 join were discharged June
10, Since then they have been work
ing gardens and are said to have Kept
up their effort 10 unionize the local
miners.
Last Friday Coulter came to Sutton
TO defend himself against an eject
ment suit, the purpose OF which was
to eject him from the mine house he
occupied. Later. warrants were Issued
on oath Of the mine superintendent
charging Coulter and four others with
yagrancy. There is strike at this
mine, and the questions involved in
the vagrancy charges will be strenu'
ously contested in the courts. The
most important question is whether
unionized labor can strike and the men
remain idle without violating the stSt
ute against Yagrancy.
