It la estimated that by da; break there were several thousar minora encamped upon tho bills su rounding tho property of the New Yoi and Cleveland Gas Coal Company. Th<>y come from every direction head* by bratta bands. Large delegation* a rived from Wllllckf, Gastonville, Flnle: vllle and other parts along the Wheellr division. Nearly all of them carrU heavy walking sticks and some *ve armed. There were no threats of vl K-nee, however, and no Indications < drinking. Many were supplied wil food enough to last two days. Immediately upon reaching Oak HI the strikers prepared for camp. T1 scenes around Turtle Creek after ml< nlRht were strange. Poor clad miners stretched themselvi out In the softest spots they could fln and slept with their arms folded undi their heads for pillows. The ?qua< from each mine camped together stacl ing their formidable walking sticks ar banners together. Each detachment wt in charge of men selected before tl inarch began who acted as officer*. Tl foreigners had their own ofllcers and tl Kngllsh speaking miners theirs. Ordei were Implicitly followed. In the valley leading up from Turt creek to one of the New York and Clevi J.ind mines the company had a powerf farch Mght. It was kept uhlftlr about in hopes of flanking any movi ment of the strikers to creep withl reach of the mine unknown to the depi t1<*. who guarded thf approach. Long before daylight the strikers wei up and after eating their frugal mei prepared for the day's work. The Inter Hon was to see as many of DeArmltt men before they got Into the pits th morning as possible. About 4 o'clock 1.1500 strikers nssen bled at Turtle creek and headed hy thn brass bonds, with Hags and banners flj Ing, marched past the houses occupW by DeArmltt's minors.

The demonstration had no effect upc the mm at Plum Creek, and all wet to work. The strikers used all the powers of persuasion upon the digger but none were molested and no threa were made. Previous to the meeting Eugene 1 Debt, District President Dolan. Seen tary Warner and M. P. Carrlck wei among the strikers and counseled thei to keep within the bounds of the law ar preserve g<?od order throughout the da Their advice was received with gar grace by the men, who cheered the ofl clal* enthusiastically. President Dolan was made rhalrma of the meeting and In a short speech 1: accused Mr. De Armltt of insincerlt: Ho said that If Do Armltt's men did n< coino out there would be a sympath strike all over the United States. M. P. Carrlck was next Introduce and he said that working men all ov< the t'nlted States ar? Interested In th strike because It will have a tondene to raise wages everywhere. "If yo men of D? Armltt's mines will n< rnme out now we will march 60,000 me here and compel you to come out; n? by force, but by shame. We will shaft you out by our starving women an children. You are clogging the whee o; commerce, and the whole labor worl win strike In sympathy with us, If nei be. Resort to no violence, my friend Trust In your leaders, and we will wl ibis strike In other ways than by vl< lence." When Eugene V. Debs was Intrr dured there was prcat enthusiasm. II said: "l am not here to encourage pat slon, but to appeal to reason. You ni In the midst of the greatest contest tl world has ever known. Whether yti succeed or fall depends on yourselve In order to win you must remain absc lutely sober until this contest Is ove Whisky clouds the brain, robs you < your money and makes you brutal, an also makes you do Just what your ct emles want you to do."

Tl: pretence of tho deputy sheriffs was nr needed as there was nn trouble of an kind, .Mr. Do Armltt to-night innkes tl following slateinent. "A few of our men from th" Turtl Creek and Plum Jtun mines attend? the meeting. About forty of the younji er men in the Handy Creek mine wei present.

The crowd which rapidly assembled on the scene of tho murder was about to lynch Davis when a wagon load of officers rescued him with difficulty from the crowd and he was Incarcerated In tho city jail, a modern, strongly constructed building. Impossible of capture without great loss of llfo. All night long a desperate nnd determined crowd of men remained outside the jail, but they knew the futility of an attack and are waiting their opportunity when the prisoner would be removed.
