 Regardless of his role in the events , Chafin remained sheriff after the battle and began to round up and arrest a number of the leaders of the miners . While some of the top leaders arranged to be arrested in other jurisdictions to stay out of Chafin 's hand , others including Frank Keeney , a top UMW official , and Bill Blizzard , the so @-@ called general of the miners , surrendered to Chafin and were put in jail in Logan County . The trials eventually were transferred to other jurisdictions , and the prisoners passed out of Chafin 's hands without incident .
