The strikers in the Tanana district yesterday committed several crimes, among which was the holding up of the stage from Valdez carrying mall and passengers. Fifty men armed with clubs and guns were Implicated. Most of the passengers were nonunion men coming to work in the mines. The hold up occurred at the Thirty-mile house. Word waa sent here for help and United States Marahal Perry sent a strong force of deputies to the scene with orders to arrest every man who took part In the delaying of the United States mails. When these deputies get 10 me xnirty-miie house It Is expected that serious trouble will occur, as the strikers are In an ugly mood and are being constantly reinforced, by new ar rivals at their camp. The holdup was the second to occur within a few days. The strikers have possession of many firearms and have a liberal supply of dynamite which. It Is feared, they may use by springing a mine on the stage carrying the non unionists ' and their guards to the diggings.
