Meanwhile a large body of attack
ers made straight for the coal tipple
which they soaked with oil, a match
was applied and the big structure was
soon ablaze, the flames eating their
way up the incline and attacking the
head house.
Miners Return Fire With Cannon
A steady fire poured into the horde
of miners by the guards was answered
by the strikers WHO procured small
cannon and fired several balls into the
Richland Co. store.
Outnumbered about 40 to i, the
guards were soon driven back, but they
fought to places in buildings nearby
and poured a whitening fire into the
rapidly scattering ranks of the miners.
Hurry calls were sent to Wheeling
and Wellsburg and fresh forces of depu-
ties were rushed to the scene. The
strik ers took to the hills.
