. TUESDAY EVENING,
was instantly killed and many othera
wounded, including spectators who
were not mineworkers or strikers.
The excitement was so (treat that
the Sherirt was unable to preserve the
pt»uce, ana ne appealed to Uovernor
W llliam A. Stone ior assistance rrom
the liuard. The tiovernor
ordered Atajor-ueneral Charles Miner,
commanding tne aiviuion, to detail u
portion 01 it tor the support ot the
onertii or Schuylkill county. General
Miner Immediately ordered Brigauier-
Ueneral J. f. s. Uobin, .commanding
tne 'i'mrd Brigade, to place part ot ms
brigaue in service, anu In a tew min
utes an order was issued trom brigade
neadquarters, caning out tne Fourth,
nflgntn and Tweitth Regiments ot In
lantry, Battery C aud tne Governor's
Troop.
Soon after midnight, Captain J. B.
Fisner, ot Company O, and Captain
Maurice J£. Finney, ot Company i, re
ceived telegraphic orders trom Colonel
Theodore F. Hollman, commanding
Eighth Regiment, to report tor held
service witn their commands imme
diately. I'irst sergeants were nouned
and the assembling ol the men began
at once. So rapid was the response
to the call that Companies D and I
were among the very first to repert
as ready to move and they were taken
to Shenandoah early in the morning
of the 22d, leaving Harrisburg about
7 o'clock and arriving at Shenandoah
at noon.
The regimental camp was pltohed In
a Held owned by Thomas Baird, super
intendent of the Thomas Coal Com
pany, located at the end o£ Shenan
doah's principal street. The field was
on the side ot Locust Mountain, where
the slope was about thirty degrees and
there was great difficulty in erecting
the tents on aocount of the grade
and the rocky character of the ground.
Tent pins were hard to drive and after
the camp was finished it was difficult
for the men to keep their equipment
and themselves from rolling out of the
tents and down the hill. Behind the
camp was a great sink in the mines
of the Kehley Colliery operation,
where the tunnel had caved in tor over
a mile, leaving a ravino nearly 200 feet
deep immediately behind the company
quarters. Over the edge of this sink
the latrines were constructed.
Companies D and I were located
close together in their battalion sec
tion of the regimental camp and were
soon very comfortably situated under
the circumstances. Qood camp
ground was very scarce in that region.
On Monday morning, the third day
on which the troops were in service, a
parade of nearly 2,000 men occurred
in Shenandoah In attendance upon the
funeral of a man killed in the riot on
tho 21st of September. Owing to the
presence of tho troops, there wei'e no
disturbances and no interference.
While on this tour of duty tho two
companies wore frequently on duty as
provost guard In Shenandoah and also
furnished numerous details for guard
ing collieries and mining properties all
through that section.
On one occasion the entire battalion
made a march to McAdoo, Beaver
Meadows, Audenreid and Yorktown
territory most of the men of Company
D were thoroughly familiar with by
reason of having been located at Au
denreid during the Hazleton strike in
1897. Reports had been sent to the bri
gade commander of trouble near those
towns, but when the battalion reached
there everything was peaceful and
they returned to camp at Shenandoah.
On another day the battalion made a
"hike" to Girardville.
After a service of thirteen days the
regiment was relieved and Companies
L> and I returned home on October 4.
The pay for the services of the men
of the two companies from the State
was: Company D (Captain Fisher)
$1,292.26; Company I (Captain Fin
ney), $1,369.03.
The names of the officers and en
listed men of the two companies who
were on this tour of Held service are
given in the rosters printed here with.
