 HELD IN READINESS
 FOR FIELD SERVICE
(Continued From Page One.)

Logan deputies and volunteers corn manded by Sheriff Don Chafin.
 While everything was reported quiet on the Logan side today, ad- vices indicate much restlessness on the part of the armed band just across the ridge.
 7 A special train, one coach of which was loaded with arms and ammuni- tion, arrived here at o'clock to- night. coming from Charleston. The munitions were guarded by deputies
 Munitions Unloaded
 After being unloaded the nuni- tions were taken to the courthouse where the men began cleaning the weapons. In the meantime, armed guards were thrown around the building and no one but constituted authorities was permitted to enter. It was expected that during the nigh; the guns and ammunition would be placed in automobile trucks and taken to the border line over the same roads that today were traversed by similar vehicles carrying sup plies to the guardians on the Logan siGe of the ridge. Scores of noun tain men and others from the low lands, armed with rifles, pistols and Browning guns. patrol the roads over which the trucks passed.
 The approach of nightfall brought with it increased tenseness and addi- .tional men were sent from here to the hills to reinforce the border pa trol. Those in command expressed the opinion that if the men across the line were aware of the fact that in jection of federal troops was a possi bility September 1, an attempt might be made to cross tonight.
 Women of the town were doing their bit" preparing and serving food, coffee and other necessities to arriv- ing reinforcement.
 Four hundred and seventy addi- tional Mcdowell men arrived on x special train at 9:30. Included in tho detachment were two physicians and three nurses. The detachment was moved from Welch to Mallory in au- tomobiles. At Mallory a special train awaited. Another detachment of 300 was expected later in the night.
 A mighty cheer went up as the oc- cupants of the special train stepped from the cars.
