Deputy Sheriff Stewart and officer Guill were sent for yesterday to suppress a disturbance at Kingston Mines, which bid fare to amount to considerable of a riot. There being a strike at the mines for higher wages, the men who refused to work attempted to interfere with those who remained, got tight, threatened to burn the town, and kicked up a muss generally. Ten of them were arrested and brought by the officers to this city, and for want of quarters in the county jail, the prisoners were confined in the calaboose. Their examination will take place to-day.
