Logan, w. Va.-An army OF from
1000 to 5000 armed miners is slowly
but steadily advancing over the hills
toward this city. Washington was in.
formed that unless federal troops ar.
rived here, Logan would be taken by
the miners. Great loss of life and
property is feared il invasion is &C.
complished.
Firing has been reported on four
points surrounding the city. Incom.
plete reports Of casualties have been
that three Logan men were shot and
killed and that the miners suffered
heavy losses.
List Of Dead.
The sheriff's Office announced the
known dead to be:
John Gofago and Jim Munse, volun.
teers, aiding county authorities main.
tain order, and John Gore, a deputy
sheriff.
Hidden in machine gun nest, q
newspaper correspondent aided by
field glasses viewed the fighting along
Crooked Creek. The nest was part of
the Logan county |defenses and the
gun was manned by deputy sheriffs.
Men constantly were seen scurryine
about the mountain passes OF the ad.
jacent county of Boone. During the
correspondents stay he saw two mem.
bers of the opposing force fall after
being shot and the gunners told him
they saw two men go down prior to
his arrival.
Nest Overlooked Valley.
The Crooked Greek line extended for
a distance of three miles on the ridge
between Logan county and Boone. To
get to it from Logan the route was
over two miles of level country and
up a steep path four miles long, over
which reinforcements toiled carrying
ammunition and provisions. The ma.
chine gun nest was about in the mid.
die of the line. 1t overlooked valley
below. A mile distant were several
buildings which protected the bands
of armed men as they made an attempt
to outflank county officers and get be-
hind the ridge.
Time and again they tried to accom-.
plish this spur but at each attempt,
machine gun and rifle fire drove them
back. It was during one of these sor.
ties that the correspondent saw two
men fall in the roadway.
Detail Driven Back.
On another occasion a band of about
so men came down the road between
the buildings. A heavy fire from the
ridge, however, caused them hastily to
retreat, carrying four or five Of their
comrades on their shoulders. Whether
those being carried had been wounded
could not be determined.
An airplane flying over the noun
tains bordering the Guyan river drop
ped INT bomb over the camp of in
vading miners and the explosion was
terrific. Effect on the camp is UNI
known. This was announced Officially.
