The cause oí all of this military gathering was for the purpose of prolecting the men and property at the mines at Ishpeming, it having been decided to btart the steam shovels at ,he mines. The mining companies ïad asked their men to report for vork, but they refused and when the companies announced that they would start the shovels with other help the strikers became very threatening. Sheriff liroad and Mayor Johnson, upon consultation, agreed that they could not muster force enough to iect property and workmen and hnally decided to ask Gov.

G. of Houghton, Capt. McArthur. SS men. Total 887 men. Col. Lyons is the officer in charge. i'romptly at 7 o'clock the steam shovels were started 'at the Lake Angeline, Lake Superior and Salisbury mines. The presence of the troops seemed to have a quieting effect upon the strikers ior although they assetnbled on the surrouuding hills in great numbers they did not venture dangerously near the picket lines. The wointn were out in force and were more demonstrative than the men. They gathered in groups and crowded towards the stook piles, where the men are employed, and keep up a continuous cry of "black leg"and''scab." Their converbation was of the most inflammable natuie. The parade of the strikers to Union park was very largely attended by strikers from both Ishpeming and Negaunee. President Coad, of the miners" union resigned and John Hoberts was chosen as his successor. Desperate Mnrder and Suïcide.
