Encounters, in Which a Captain Is Hurt. .
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Bluefleld, W. Va.. Aug. 2S. John Ruble, a
blacksmith employed by the Sagamore Coal
and Coke Company, was shot and killed by
strikers here this morning.
In the intense excitement that followed
the shooting it was reported that several
persons had been killed, but the rumor
proved to bo erroneous.
Ruble, In company with Barney Shumato
of this city, who had been employed as a
guard, left the company store to go to a
point on the works to stand guard, as the
company feared a visit from tho mob.
En route they were fired on and Ruble
fell.
Shumate was armed with a Winchester
and opened fire on the miners, who, after
their first volley, ran. None of them has
been arrested.
The nonunion men who took the strikers'
places are terrorized, and a good many of
them are going away
W. H. McQuail, president of the Turkey
Gap Coal Company, was fired at through a
window, but was not hurt.
More guards have been engaged and are
being rushed into the field to give protec
tion to tho men who want to work to
morrow. Nearly everybody refuses to act as Dep
uty Sheriffs to assist In the eviction of
striking miners, and hence the Sheriff made
a request for troops. Men concealed along
the mountainside fire at the guards and
miners going to work and then disappear.
Governor White says he sends the troops
to Drotect life and property, but not to set
tle the strike.
