One of the troopers was injured and several other members of the congregation were hurt also. Expecting some steps to be taken by the trustees, several hundred members of congregation assembled, determined to block every effort of the trustees. Burgess Madajewski fearing trouble would ensue, -communicated with the State troopers and asked that a detail of men be sent to Nanticoke. This did not have the effect that was desired and another message sent for troopers, when ten more hurried to Nanticoke. In the meantime Sheriff Kniffen heard of the trouble and journeyed scene of the disturbance.

The sheriff addressed the mob and resto ed crder, withough scores of men loitered about church property until morning.
