SAILORS TAKEN FROM SHIP.

Armed Force Pays Visit to Vessel in Aberdeen Harbor.

ABERDEEN, Aug. 22. — A party of men armed with rifles and headed by William Gohl, agent for the Seamen's Union, boarded the Watson A. West last, night: and took two sailors ashore. There was no firing. Gohl and other men are under arrest now for the attack upon the schooner Fearless, the State having taken up the case. Last night a squad of police awaited the return of the armed party from the lower harbor, but the men came back to the city by car, and the policemen, who were in boats, missed them. The body of the man who was drowned Monday night when the attack was made on the Fearless has not been recovered. The belief is growing that the three watchers left aboard, of whom the drowned man was one, deliberately deserted the ship to permit the attackers to board her.
