Disease Feared At Pana

Pana, Ills., Sept. 6.- Guarded by four deputy sheriffs, Operators David J. Overholt and Louis Overholt went to Taylorville to attend the injunction proceedings against mine operators. The Springside negroes are sickening. Half a dozen are 111, several with malarial fever. It is said all the sewage from Pana runs into the pond near the mines, and it is believed the negro quarters will be a pest hole in a few days. An attorney for the rainers thinks the further importation of negroes can be prevented by la. Efforts at compromise are not proving successful. A petiton is being circulated for citizens' signatures for Governor Taner to make a visit here and investígate the situation before sending the Galesburg battery to protect life and property. Owing to the prospect of contagious disease originating in the negro camp and spreading to the city, efforts will probably be made to have the state board of health investígate conditions at Springside and break up the camp. Sheriff' Coburn began swearing in 100 extra deputies for city patrol duty, with consent of Mayor Nenwell. It is reported that the sheriff will take charge of the city.
