Another Man Is Expected To Die At Bradley
Coroner Campbell was summoned to Bradley on the Fourth after a telegram stated that Frank Kainasara, one of the miners shot on Sunday, died there in house No 2. Sheriff Vorhees reported quiet at Bradley as arrests were made for a later hearing. A mass meeting in Canton set for July 11 aims to shape the Columbus agreement with about five thousand miners expected. A bald headed fake from Wheeling warned of an armed clash at Dillonvale, with six hundred foreigners planned to march to Bradley and demand miners leave as guards. Guards were boosted, and a Gatling gun rumored to be en route. Walker’s Dillonvale store remains a focal point for strike talk and revolutionary sentiment while 150 Winchester rifles moved quickly to an unknown foreign buyer.
