Steubenville, 0., June 5. —While the situation in Jefferson county, 0., is most pacific relative to the miners' troubles at Dillonvale, Plum Run and Bradley as well as the other mining towns in the vicinity of which a battle occurred between the striking miners and armed guards early in the morn ing, the fear is general that the sit uation will become most acute when the troops that were ordered from Co lumba's arrive. At Dillonvale the strikers are in a most turbulent mood. It is ieported that they and their sympathizers dur ing the day made large purchases of rifles, revolvers and ammunition Every attempt is being made by the leaders of the mine workers to hold the men in check, but the failure to pay strike benefits, coupled with their straitened circumstances and the out break of thAnßFning have had the effect of inciting the foreign element to desperate measures. Deputy Sheriff Murray, who is sta tioned at the Bradley mine, telephoned to Sheriff Vorhees saying that the min ers threatened to "clean out" the guards before the troops arrive and that he was expecting trouble at any minute.
