wan I down into tho mine on Monday
morning, have muntlnled and are j
holding 1,\ guard* :?s ho.stniJoSL TliO.v J
refiiso to Tot the guards come to the
surface? until Wardeil TamliiisAS. jvva- |
snlsea to give thorn better food. They
threaten to kill the guards if their de
anamls are not complied with. The
mines are worked by tho worst class
\
of convicts and among those who have
mutinied are twenty life prisoners.
Warden ToiullnSon has refused to
want the demand., There was great
consternation Tuesday afternoon
among tho families of the guards who
are hold by the convicts. All the peni
tentiary shops have been' dosed and
the convicts have been ordered in
their cells, In order,, to have all the
guards In readiness for an emergency
t.o handle the convicts should they at
tempt to rush from the mine.
Many complaints have beeu made
hy the prisoners be^au&o of the grado
*>f ffKvl furnished (hem. and to this
dissatisfaction l$)s been added allega
tions of mistreatment. No outbreak
wy'x attempted, however, until the men
?who had entered the mine, refused to
veturn .unless their demand* were
granted. They killed the mules used
in the mines ajxl arc living 011 this
meat.
Serious trouble lsj apprehended If it
1s found "nerCesary to send deputies
intOJthe collery. The miners have
threatened to wreck tli-e mines* hut tho
threat is laughed at Warden Tomliu
son, who says they would not aUfcuVjH
?this, as such action would endanger
their lives. Tie say's liO will starve
them cut. A communication was re
ceived from QPc of the guards stating
that Jhcy weie hungry and tired, but
so far as ho could learn all were alive.
Tho first, outbreak in the mine took
place shortly after the noon meal Tu
esday and was Sttarted by the convicts
Jn division -No,\8. Of the 19 men In
this division, 16"V^ized th? guard and
overpowered him announced that [
they bad dwided 10 strike. They told
*lj?> guard that they had decided to
till no two instead of three ears Of coal j
as a day's work in tho future and that
they proposed to have better food, j
This guard Was left in charge of two
*>f the convicts In the mutiny while
the others marched to he adjoining di
vision and called on the convictB there
K> join the revolt. The convicts were I
soon marching through the mine from j
one division to another, yelling and
swinging their lamps and picks. Oth
er desperate convicts entered into tho
tsplrit, while the shoi^-term men gen
erally o/fenvl no opposition to tho |
* mutineers and quictl]^ joined Ihftm. I
So far ye can be learned no opposition
of ?ny kind was offered the convicts. |
Tho offlcc/^ .being unarmed, wec^l
helpless, 4nd the life of any wotnrf*!
have hcen VorfelUd had he tried evefri
to check thovmad spirit of the con
victs. \
' Guard M<Sha\c. oiv^of^ the 15 hos
tages, was hoisietTTO the mirface to
night, tho striking convicts permitted
it because of hiS being 111. lie re
ported that the prisoners have been
careful to avoid anw violent act. The
other guards, he said, are in good
condition and will hold out as long as
long ns the convicts rtnialn mutinous.
An hour later a signal came up from
below and one convict, not in sympa
thy with the strike, was hoisted out.
As the cages w*ere half the distance
from the bottom of the shaft the pris
oner w-.is forced to climb 400 feet,
crawling up on the shaft timbers to
reach the cages. The convict surtd the
men in the mine had had nothing to
eat since noon yesterday except some
(tfltw^offee, which was made from
? corn used to feed the mules in the
mine. The mules, he said, will be eat
en unless the strike Is ended soon.
1/ate Tuesday night another convict
' was hoisted to the surface to confer
with tho warden. Warden Tomlinson
?a<=.y that he will force the convicts to
surrender, unconditionally, much at
