CRIPPE CRLEK. Col.. May 25 Hieven men killed, with a strons prohahility that the number of dead will be increased when all Is known, is the record cf the first day of trouble here, although real fighting has rst yet begun, as the deputies are awaiting ivinf rements before beginning active operations. At 10 o'clock this morning eleven men Ftarted to work in the Strong mine on Battle mountain. Shortly afterward a large party of strikers b'.ew up the shaft house with powder, causing a loss of $25,0Ö0, and then dropped 1" pounds of fdant powder down- th shaft, which was also exploded, killing all the inmate. Not more than 3') yards from the Strong shaft house sixteen men w.io had been engaged to go to work in the Independence mine were surrounded in their bunk house and efter a lor.g parley agreed to surrender. Each one was armed with a rifle and a trace of revolvers. The arms are now in the possession cf the strikers. It is rumored that the strikers attacked the Anne Lee mine, overpowering the guards, after which they blew up the chart house, but the rumor has not been verified. "When the deputies are finally massed and the two forces come together a most desperate battle will doubtless be fought. The situation at 6 o'clock tonight is one of most painful anxiety. Not a few believe the town will be a smouldering mass by another sunset if the strikers be not restrained. At Victor, six miles away, where fully 1,000 people resid?, a reign of terror exists. Within half a mile of the corporation limits of the town all day lorg fully 300 union miners armed with rifles have paraded up and down the side of the hill. Occasionally a detour into the village, would be made and people whom the miners thought to be objectionable were ordered to leave the place. The guards from Denver upon arrival at Victor went into camp on a neighboring hill. The strikers threw out a picket line entirely surrounding them, but at a distance that guarantees them safety from the deputies' rifles. It is said the strikers have planted under their breastworks on Bull hill a quantity of dynamite with the intention of blowing it up if it should be taken and occupied 4 by the deputies. One of the largest mine-owners in Colorado Springs Is authority for the statement that the mine-owners have planted a rifled cannon on a hill commanding the breastworks and that It will be used to dislodge the etrikers from that position. CRIPPLE CREEK. Col., May S. The first clash of arms between the striking miners of the Cripple Creek district and The deputy sheriffs occurred at 3 a. m. today. William Rabldeau, deputy; another deputy, whose name is unknown; Hiram Crowley, "Dynamite Shorty," and two other miners were killed. Prank Maon, Fred Todd, P. D. Dunn. William Bailey and K. M. Hassell, miners, were taken prisoners by the deputies and are now held at their camp. Klx of tri deputies were captured by the miners during the fight, but are thought to have been released. The trouble was precipitated in an enfleavor on the part of the deputies to make a night march and gain possession of the city of Victor with the intention of using It as a basis of operations in future attacks on the miners. When the deputies retreated Friday afternoon thirty-live armed miners were detailed to follow them and watch their operations, guarding against Just such an attack as was attempted by the men yesterday. The deputies retired but a short distance down the railway and encamped to await the arrival of the dark hour Just before dawn before attempting their coup d'etat. The pursuing miners deployed in picket line and along the top of the hill from the railway to Nipple mountain. AM was nuiet until about 2:45 when the train tearing tha deputies steamed down lia:- the r.iiiiers' line and stopped. The deputies disembarked 12S strong and advanced on the miners in full force. They were met with volley after Volley from the Winchesters carried by the miners and the fire was briskly returned. The ripht was dark and much of the fire was wasted. The fighting waged fiercely for half an hour. The deputies finally succeeded in driving the strikers back. Crowley was killed early in the fight by a bullet which ' entered his right cheek. After he fell his comrades, crazed with rage, fought more fiercely than ever, "Dynamite Shorty" having part of his right ear shot away while one of the other miners had an arm br-ken by a ball. The third received three balls, but fortunately all were flsh wounds and not serious. At what time during the Iray the two deputies were shot is not known. Itabldeau's body, containing three balls, one through the heart, was found near the railway tracks this morning by the construction gang as they went to work. He vldently had been deserted by his comrades. The body of the other man was carried to the flat Cars and sent to Florence. By the killing of Rabldeau the miners avenged themselves for his bearing toward them while acting as deputy at CriatJa Cresk. during the past year and

his efforts to break up the strike. A few weeks ago he was beaten, run out of camp and warned never to return. It was thought at 5 p. ITU a Kittle between the miners and deputies would 3urely occur after dark, but both sides seemed to have weakened and it is now predicted that no further trouble will occur at the Victor side of the camp tonight. DENVER. Col.. May 2. At 4:40 o'clock this afternoon the entire state militia, consisting of two regiments, was ordered out by Governor Walte to proceed to Cripple Creek and suppress the troubles there. The troops will proceed to Cripple Creek at the earliest moment. At a late hour this evening Governor Waite is tied a proclamation directing the armed deputies to disperse. DENVER. Col.. May 28. The mine owners have decided not to arbitrate differences with the Cripple creek miners and trouble may begin at any moment. CRIPPLE CREEK, Col.. May 21 If trouble breaks out again, and it is impossible to see how it can be avoided, the results bM fair to be far more terrible than those already witnessed. Th armistice declared yesterday was mad1? use of by the sheriffs to increas thir forces. Nearly 400 men have hi en recruited in Denver and only await the slightest outbreak to be forwarded to Cripple Creek and be sworn in as deputies. The strikers seem to have taken courage from the action of Governor Waite and affect to believe that the militia would tend to aid them in carrying out their purposes. Be this as it may the entire district is terrorized and the strikrs. being encouraged by the temporary withdrawal of the deputies, are becoming bolder and more imperative and intolerant. There is no dinger that a non-par-ti.-an will be fired upon without first being warned, but when ordered to stop it means that he must stop Just where his feet are resting. It is but a step from this attitude to one of most reckless bearing and people living in the camps fear th: outcome. All day strikers have been searching for aims and ammunition In the mining camps, and wherever arms, ammunition or provisions were found they were confiscated and receipts given for them. No one about the camrs except strikers are permitted to carry arms and the strikers, who rein supreme, have isrued the order that every able-bodied man fund in ramp when the real c ntest comes wll be forced to carry arms in their ianks. The result is that many people are moving away I'roni th-- camps to the city of Cripple. Cr.-- k and elsewhere. Twn and county rfi: i ils :tr utterly unable to do anything in the face of such an overwhelming number of !.!; rate men. Panks 'f ljien who are in sympathy with the mine-owners h ive gone to Midland, where they will meet the deputies and conduct them through the be.-t routes to the strongest points about the scene of the trouble. A lar.ee party of strikers have also gone toward Midland to meet the deputies and retard th' ir progress as nach as possible. The country -about Hull Hill. th strikers' st ronehold, for eight miles square, is held and patrolled by the strikers. In a, sensational sermon on the labor troubles of the country the Rev. N. II. Warner, methodist, last night said: "If it is true, as I understand from the best authorities which I have been able to obtain. thU the present trouble in Cripple Creek is due to the fact that the mine owners will not appoint half a dozen catholic: bosses, and if it Is true that an organization which might .settle th difficulty has refused to do so on this account, then I tay that the A. i A. was not organized any too soon." There was a chorus of amens and the congregation broke into vociferous applause. Alexander Mcintosh, state organizer of the Western federation of miners, says the published reports that the miners' union of Cripple Creek is composed almost exclusively of foreigners and catholics is untrue. Over 80 per cent, of the members, he says, are American citizens. Less than one-sixth are cathodes. The president is a presbyterian.

MARRIAGE UNDER DIFFICULTIES. SrnsntinnnI i:iiprmrnt of the Ilev. Mr. Shrively Sinter. BUFFALO, N. Y., May 27. The northern part of th" city, known as Kensington, is all agog with the story of the elopement of pretty Nellie Shrively and the exciting pursuit mode by her brother, the Rev. William Shrively, pastor of the Kensington methocist episcopal church. Miss Shrively lived with her brother until yesterday. She was in love with a young carpenter namd Bert Sayles, but her brother disapproved of the match, and when he found the lovers meeting clandestinely he put a close watch on Nellie. Last night he looked out of his study window where he was preparing his sermon for today and saw the couple making their way rapidly up the street In the rain. The parson was only partly attired. He opened the window and shouted to his sister to come back. Instead, Nellie and Bert started across fields, through the dep grass, the preacher after them, without hat or coat or vest. He overtook the couple half a mile from the house. Young Sayles grappled with him, threw him down, sat on him, and cried: "Run, Nellie, run!" Nellie did run and took refuge in the hous of J. J. Warren. Then Sayles released the preacher and ran. He and Nellie went into the garret of the Warren house, but when the Ilev. Mr. Shrively arrived Mr. Warren ordered them out. Sayles refused to po. but was forced to do r-o by two policemen, leaving Nellie behind. Then Mr. Shrively took his sister by force and put her into Warren's bugiry. which stood in front of the house and made a dash for his home. Sayles ran along behind the carriage, and, as the roads were muddy, managed to keep up with the horses. When the buggy drew up in front of the house Nellie jumped out and run into the house and slammed and locked the door behind her barring out her brother. Then she ran to the rear door and passed out into the stable. Her brother did not discover her escape until he had searched the whole house. In the meantime Sayles had Joined the Klri and they ran all the way to his brother's house, on Hill-st!, where they were married at 11 o'clock last night by the Rev. James .Harry, pastor of the church of the Good Shepard, who is not on the most friendly terms with Mr. Shrively. Mr. Shrively preached to the largest congregation he had ever known at the Kensington church today, for the story had spread and there was some curiosity. SAND0W WINS IN 'A JIFFY. Ill Contest 'villi the Hon "Commodore" Quite a Fiiree. BAN FRANCISCO. May 23. Over three thousand people assembled at Central park last night to witness a wrestling match between Sandow, the "perfect man," and Col. Daniel K. Uoone's tame lion "Commodore." "Commodore" ' was muzzled, his paws being encased in big boxing gloves, and he was so handicapped that free action was almost impossible. When Sandow entered the iron cage the Hon was lying on all fours and no amount of teasinj? could get him to stand up or lose hia temper. Sandow lifted him from the ground and swung him around, but it was of no avail. Aftr ten minutes of this farce the match was given ta t; an low.

MORE BLOOD SHED

In the Mining District of Pennsylvania. Fierce Fight Between Deputies and Miners, In Which Four of the Latter Are Killed. MANY WORE ARE WOUNDED While Cut Three of the Deputies Suffer Injury. All the Dead Strikers Slavs Except One. Another Chapter In the Irrepressible Conflict. The nioo.ly Strngale a Iteproncli to the Baroni Who Prodt by High Protection and Import Cheap Forelsrn Lnlior-Further Trouble In the Coke HckIou Is Kenred. UNIONTOWN. Ta., May 24. The long threatened attack by striking miners on the pits of the Washington coal and coke company at Sickle Hollow, in the fourth pool district, on the Monongahela river, was made this morning, involving another of the grim tragedies that characterize the irrepressible conflict. The tight was one of the fiercest in the history of the mining troubles in western Pennsylvania and in the section where it occurred as well as throughout the whole coke region, the situation it has developed is one of the most intense excitement and dread uncertainty. Tonight four strikers are lying dead and double that number are badly wounded, some of thorn mortally. Thomas Kenan of Woods Run is the only American killed in the encounter with the deputies. The other dead men are Slavs. The wounded men who fell under the first volley were taken off the field by the retreating strikers, and even now the actual number of wounded is net definitely known, their friends having the strongest motives for concealing them. It is. perhaps, too soon to attempt to apportion the responsibility for the killings. In the mass of confessed and contradictory statements there Is testimony to show that the strikers while threatening an attack had committed no overt act of lawlessness beyond the possible offense of unlawful assembly; that the deputies fired on them absolutely without provocation that would warrant the use of deadly weapons, and that some of the killings were particularly cruel and unjustifiable. Then there is equally abundant testimony to show that the deputies simply defended themselves and their charge from the rushing assault of an armed and bloodhirsty mob. The strikers furnished the dead men. Not a deputy was fatally hurt and only throe of them wounded. Ti e lisht occurred at daybreak in the public roadway leading to the Stickle hU..w plants. Two thousand strikers, after camping near the works all night, came out there to intercept the men on their way to work to induce them to come out and help win the strike. A few of them carried Winchesters, while fully fifty others were armed with shotguns, muzzle-loading rifles and revolvers. Ilecause of their threatening demonstrations and the fact that they had given notice to the company that they had come to drive off the deputies, if necessary, there were ball cartridges in the Winchesters carried by the guards and the entire outfit at the works was in general readiness to receive raiders. The deputies had specific orders, and it Is admitted that the company had conveyed to them directions to shoot to kill. Sixty-six of the strikers were placed under arrest and taken back to the company's ground, where they were closely guarded during the remainder of the day. The whole lot of them were later placed in box cars, which were closely nailed up, and kept there until this evening when they were brought here to the jail in charge of twenty-five deputies. The men arrested are nearly all nativeborn citizens. Intelligent-looking and several of them are known to be men of influence and good reputation in the fourth pool district. The situation at th mines tonigat is alarming and more serious trouble is expected within the next twenty-four hours. Reports late tonight are to the effect that 3.000 strikers from the lower end of the fourth iool were marching on Ftiekle hollow thoroughly armed for the purpose of storming the works, regardless of consequ3nees. Dut these reixrts have not been verified. None of the dead except Kenan have been identified. It is impossible to larn about the others who are dead. Fear muzzles the survivors and seals the lip.s of even the children of friends of the men in the fight. They will not even claim their dead, and nobody has come forward to speak for the remains of the poor fellows who are lying where they fell. John Troy of Fayette City was badly wounded and will die. He is a prominent citizen of that place and was formerly a school director. DKTAILS OF THE TIlOri)LK. Three Volley Fired lit Clone Rnngre hy the Deputies. Shortly after midnight last night 2,000 strikers assembled at the Stickle hollow plants, doming from Lucyville, Fayette City Freeport, Alienport and many other points on the Monongahela river. Some of them were armed, but the majority were not. They went Into camp near the plant, where they remained until 3 o'clock, when they adjourned to the public road leading to the works, and over which the workmen would have to pass to the pit. Here they formed a line to Interrupt the workmen and attempt to get them to return home. According to the plans they stopped the first delegation of miners, and by a little persuasion induced them to joint the strike. The men turned, and about the time they were starting back home with their dinner-buckets the deputies, who were on guard and witnesses to the affair, were ordered to shoot. They fired three volleys into the mob at a range of only about firty yards. The first volley brought forth no response from the etrikers. who were thought to be well armed, but instead they ran In every direction, leaving the dead and wounded lying in the public road. The deputies followed with two more voileys uud were ehoot

ing when the last striker disappeared. The report of the affair given by the officials of the company is to the effect that three Etrikers were picked up dead In the road after the shooting and a half-dozen wounded ones were carried away by their comrades. The reports say that six men were killed and sixteen wounded. The plant Is 60 far back in the country that the actual facts have not yet been received. The company officials say that the strikers served notice on therm that they expected to assault the works, and acting on this information the deputies considered this interference with the workmen as the betrlnnini? of the assault Justifiable, and for that reason fired on them. Last night was one of mortal terror to the citizens of the Stickle mines. The strikers kept up the threatening demonstrations, and even threatened to visit the houses of the Vorkmen and frlve them their choice to quit work or meet death in the presence of their families. Camp-fires were built and scouting parties were sent out to keep a close watch on the plants. The force of deputies was increased, all the available men in the community, being sworn in. In addition, a man drove hen at 1:30 o'clock this morning for the sheriff to go down and take charge of the men and also to take with him more deputies. The sheriff did not heed the call and did not go down. Deputy Sheriff Richards had charge of the men and Sheriff Wilhelm considered him capable cf holding the fort. The latest new from the scene of the trouble says that the strikers have all gone and that the situation is peaceable today. The workmen have not gone to work, but are willing to do so as soon as the excitement subsides. A battle was narrowly averted at Fairchance last night. Sheriff Wilhelm sent five men to that place as deputies for the Fairchance furnace. It is the custom of strikers to assemble at the station when a passenger train arrives to see if any new men arrive and to take charge of them as soon as they get off the train. When the deputies got off the train, having no gains, the strikers thought they were workmen, and, surrounding them, took them to the camp. They held them prisoners until the other deputies charged the camp and put all the strikers to flight. UNIONTOWN. Pa.. May 23. Since last night one of the strikers wounded in yesterday's battle has died, making In all five dead. Following is an accurate list of dead and wounded: Dead: li.

The republican convention of the Tenth district ended in a row at dusk in the ball park here this evening. Outside of Lake county Landis had a majority and had a majority on the committee on credentials. This majority reported In favor of seating fifteen Landis and fifteen Johnston delegates from Lake county. After almost three hours of uproar and bad talk the report was adopted by a small majority. The thirty Johnston delegates from Lake then withdrew and fifteen of their places were promptly filled by Landis delegates. Porter and Jasper counties each followed the lead of Lake and withdrew from the convention and all swore vengeance upon the nominee. It was then dark, it having taken four hours for the committee to prepare their report, and three more to secure its adoption and an adjournment became necessary and was taken until 9:20. At that hour the convention was called in the opra house. The Johnston forces did not answer to the call. Fulton county, all but one from Jasper, four from Cass and six from Newton and four from Pulaski and all of Iake and Porter, together with fifteen from Lake, were absent. Upon a call for nominations C B. Landis, M. L. Bssex andJudges Gould and Hammond were placed in nomination, but the names of Gould and Hammond were withdrawn. A ballot resulted In ninety-nine votes (all present) for Landis. This being a majority of the full number of delegates. Landis was declared the nominee and then one of the bitterest lights ever witnessed in Lake county or the Tenth district ended. This means a democratic congressman from the Tenth district. ROCKPORT, May 24. Special. The democratic congressional convention met here today and renominated the Hon. A. H. Taylor. The proceedings were harmonious, ringing resolutions were passed and good feeling prevailed. TER RE HAUTE, May 24. Special. It looks late tonight as if the republican primaries In thl3 city had chosen delegates favorable to the nomination of Grand Master Sargent of the firemen for congress. Mr. Sargeat says he will accept if nominated. Republican sentiment has turned to his candidacy very strongly within the last few days. BROOKVILLE, May 23. Special. The joint senatorial and Joint representative conventions of Franklin, Ripley and Union counties, and the Judicial of the former two with Fayette, met here Saturday. F. M. Alexander of Franklin was nominated over Nicholas Cornet of Ripley for state senator. Moses Remington of Union was nominated over vV'illlam Flemming oü Ripley for Joint representative. George L. Gray of Fayette had no opposition for prosecutor. The attendance was unusually large, every township of the four counties being fully represented. The members of the convention report a first-class condition of the democracy in their several communities and when the speakers referred to the need of harmony their remarks were heartily - applauded. JASPER, May 2S. Special. At the Joint convention of Dubois and Perry counties, held at Rockport lat week, the Hon. Michael A. Sweeny of this city was nominated for state senator. Mr. Sweeny Is sure of being elected as the majority here is about two thousand. The Hon. Thomas J. Nolan, the man named by the republican county convention, refuses to accept the nomination and the chances are that Mr. Sweeny will have no opposition. This, however, he doeB not like, as he wauted to make a Joint canvass of the district on issues set forth by. the Chicago, convention.

T AT Id SALLE Strikers Clash With the Sheriff and Deputies, A Number Being Injured in the Fight. SITUATION VERY SERIOUS. Governor Altgeld Deciding to Call Out the Troops And Orders Are Issued for Five Companies. Report That There Are Five Hundred Strikers En Route to La Salle to Assist Their Friends, he Rioter riot to Kill Sheriff Helm, Who Is Already Wounded. LA SALLE, 111.. May 24. A mob of 1,000 coal strikers, none of them Englishspeaking, raided the shaft of the La Salle county carbon coal company here this evening and In a conflict with the sheriff and his deputies, five strikers, Sheriff Taylor and Deputy Sheriffs Tom Hoolihan and John Dwyer were painfully wounded. The mob closed in on the officers and a hand-to-hand fight ensued. Three men were arrested, but one of them was released on the men threatening to tear down the Jail and burn the city hall. The situation is alarming and the governor has been telegraphed to with a request for state aid. The fight occurred this evening when a great crowd of miners began to congregate about the shafts. Sheriff Taylor warned them that they must keep back, but the mob, with a wild shout, rushed forward, throwing a volley of bricks and stones at the deputies. Sheriff Taylor gave the order to fire in the air and the mob scattered, but, seeing th3 deputies fire at blank space, they rushed in again this time firing revolvers, accompanied by another shower of rocks, and for a little while there was a hand to hand battle between deputies and strikers. In the melee Sheriff Taylor was knocked down and badly beaten and kicked. He has a severe ga.h on his forehead and is badly bruised. Deputy Sheriffs John Dwyer and Thomas Hoolihan were both wounded by bullets fired by the strikers. Dwyer was shot in the thigh and Hoolihan has a bullet in his groin. The Injuries of the latter are quite serious and may result fatally. SPRINGFIELD. 111., May 25. Governor Altgeld has been in telegraphic communication all evening with the county and municipal officials at Centralia, LaSalle and other points where strikers were tioting during the day, and shortly after midnight decided that troops must be called out. Sheriff Taylor of La Salle county wired at 11 o'clock the situation was very serious, that his force of deputies was unable to cope with the rioters and that a mob surrounded the hotel in which he was lying wounded. Sheriff Helm of Centralia sent a report similar in character. Orders are now being telegraphed for five companies of the Fourth infantry to report at Centralia and four companies of the Seventh to report at La Salle in the morning. Adjt.-Gen. Orendorff will go to La Salle and Assistant Adjt.-Gen. Boyle to Centralia, LA SALLE. 111., May 23. 2 a. m. Word has just been received that Spring Valley has organized, armed and sent to La Salle, in response to a call from the strikers here, 500 men. They are now on the inarch, and are expected in the morning. They come to liberate the prisoners taken 5n the riot. It was said that the sheriff's life would be taken, and he was removed to Ottawa in a closed carriage late last night. LA SALLE. 111., May 25. This city is in a state of excitement tonight and there will be Mttle sleep. The citizens are greatly alarmed over a report that has just come from Spring Valley to the effect that that place is greatly excited, over a dozen of its miners being captured by the militia here this afternoon. The report says they are organizing for the march and swearing vengeance on the soldiers. It is pretty generally believed here that if the 500 French anarchists from Spring Valley come here the militia will have to do some service, as' they are Just desperate and ignorant enough to make a dogged resistance. Gen. Orendorff received a telegram tonight stating that a mob cf 30 striking miners has captured a passenger train on the Illinois Valley and northern branch of the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy railroad at Ladda, Bureau county, and at the point of revolvers had compelled the conductor to carry them to La Salle. By a ruse, the train crew made the men believe they had arrive at La Salle when Peru was reached and they got off there a mile east of this city. After a conference 'between Sheriff Taylor and the military staff it was decided to head 'he memberR off in Peru and five companies of militia were ordered to fall in. The march was commenced with the wounded sheriff riding with several deputies In a closed carriage ahead, behind the advance guards. Col. Bennett in command. The troops were divided and eent along Second and Third-sts. and the visiting mob was encountered near the Peru line. An order was given for the miners to throw up their hands, but being strangers to the English language, they did not understand and started to run in all directions. The troops were sent in pursuit and although there were several hand-to-hand encounters, nothing serious occurred. Only one shot was fired, and that by a crazed Belgian named Feron. The bullet whizzed past Capt. Smith's head and lodged in a tree clos by. He had no second chance to shoot. In an instant a corporal had knocked the weapon from the infuriated man's hand and he was under arrest. Feron then began crying "d when he had been dragged over to the guard line he knelt down In the dust, threw off his hat. and began

to pray, thinking he was to be court martialed and shot. In the meantime other officers were in conflict with others of the

rioters, who were trying to evade arrest, l It was a wild and warlike scene and I caused great excltment. many people running terror-stricken from their homes. Some of the rioters had hidden in barn3 and outhouses and pickets were sent to make a thorough search. When all who could be found had be?n capturel the order to march was again given. The prisoners were compelled to march, hands up. in single file until after they had been searched. In Peru another halt was made and a thorough search of the men's clothing was made by the officers. All kinds of weapons were found upon them; some had revolvers, others knives, but the most curious discovery was dynamite. On three men were found bombs, any one of which would annihilate a regiment Thence to the Bureau county line, two miles, the march was made with an occasional halt to pick up stragglers from the mob's rank?. In many cases there were exciting chases, but few escaped, and altogether over a hundred rioters were placed under guard. When the county boundary was reached the prisoners, who were Poles. Italians, Russians, Belgians and Bohemians, were placed in line and were addressed by the sheriff, who warned them to keep out of the county and advise them not to engage in lawlessness. They were then marched double-quick time between guards Into the adjoining county, excepting those who had been carrying arms and dynamite. These were taken back to La Salle and are now under a strong guard. LA SALLE, 111.. May 23. Everything is quiet her tonight. The most exciting events of the day were the arrests made by the sheriff. Ten participants in Thursday's riot have been gathered la and are under a strong guard at Camp Matthlessen. They will be taken to Ottawa jail tomorrow. The man Byrkowski. who was so terribly beaten by his fellow-countrj-men Friday, is missing and it Is feared that he may have been murdered. STRIKERS DESTROY PROPERTY, Eighty Riotous Miner Arrested at Odin, 111. Some Escape. CENTRALIA, 111., May 24. About five hundred striking miners from Duquoin and the St. John's mine arrived in this city today on an Illinois Central freight train and proceeded to . the Big Four mine operated by Pottinger & Davis in the northern limits of the city. They demolished considerable of the machinery and filled the shaft with about fifteen feet of debris. Every glass and sash in the buildings were smashed. The total damage to the property is estimated at $2,000. The Big Four mines have for the past three days been running with about thirty men. and yesterday they refused to come out at the request of the local committee. The Duquoin strikers boarded a freight train in this city and forced the engineer, Charles Stewart, to haul them here. Sheriff Helms was notified at Salem that the men were coming and a special engine was sent to convey him here, but he had not arrived in time to prevent the destruction of property. After the strikers had completed their work of destruction they left the city and two miles north separated in two gangs, one party going to Sandoval and the other to Odin. The mines ore running at Odin and It was expected that destruction of property would follow their arrival there. Sheriff Helms swore in 125 deputies and after arming them chartered a train and started to Sandoval, where the west gang was overhauled, already headed for Odin. The train was quickly transferred to the Baltimore & Ohio track and the deputies reached Odin a few minutes in advance of the two branches of the mob. The strikers weresurrounded and a few shots fired, but no harm done. A portion of the mob surrendered and the remainder fled. About eighty men were arrested and brought here. This evening twenty more were brought in and all are now locked in the city hall. CENTRALIA. 111., May 2S. The four companies of state troops that have beenquartered here since the destruction of the Big Four mine by Duquoin strikers left he city today for their respective homes. The bailiffs have all been released from duty. The last prisoners were bailed out by friends today, and everything indicates that the troubles here are ended.
