He addressed the crowd, telling them that although his sym- pathics were with them tie was bound to do iis duty. He iad placed armed guards at the mines and had ordered them to protect the properties and the men at work upou them. 1f he found that his deputies we powerless to guard the property in the county and the lives of its citizens “he would s0 inform the governor and the executive could put 500 militia upon the ground in Whree hours. 1t was uselesssto atinck the men at work, he said, and he ordered the mob to disperse.
