WIFE HE GOES TO AID SERVES DIVORCE WRIT Feeling Tense in Strike District as Inquest Into Deaths of Seventy-two Goes On, CADUMET, MICH., Dec. 30.—A tens* situation had developed here to-^ay with more than 500 armed citizens walking the streets looking for an outbreak on the part of the striking copper miners and their sympathizers. Intense bitterness has developed over the testimony at the Coroner’s inquest into the death of 72 victims of the Christmas Eve panic, which tended to show that the man who shouted fire in Italia Hall wore a citizens' Alliance badge. This testi mony, however, has not been abso lutely convincing and controverting witnesses are looked for this after noon. The feeling i«? further intensified by the continued arrivals of strikebreak ers. principally from New York, and the Citizens’ Alliance is just as bitter against the strike leaders. Houses of the more prominent mer chants are guarded by detectives and officers of the mines and members? of ihe Western Eederation of Miners walk the streets with two or three husky gunmen following closely. Nor has the theft of the moving picture films of the big funeral tend ed to Improve matters. The film operator reported that his room in the hotel where the pictures were Kept had been broken into and the films stolen. The theft is being vig orously denounced as an attempt to stifle publicity for the cause of the miners. Representative members of the cit izens’ organization to-day declared that the Western Federation of Min ers’ agents would be driven out of the Calumet region, and that Charles H. Moyer, president of the union, who is now in Chicago recovering from a bullet wound which he says was in flicted by one of a mob of citizens who drove him from Houghton last Friday night, will not be permitted to return to the district. The inquest proceeded to-day and just before Attorney O. N. Hilton, representing the Western Federation of Miners, left for the Red Jacket town hall he said confidently that he would produce several witnesses who would swear that the alarmist who started the Christmas Eve panic was a member of the Citizens’ Alliance.

Y.; Grant Hamilton, organizer for the Federation, now in this city, and James Roach, another organizer, who is in Albany.
