CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Two anti-mountaintop removal activists came down from a pair of Raleigh County treetops Monday morning, after a week protesting blasting by a Massey Energy mining operation.

Nick Stocks and Laura Steepleton were arrested after separately descending from the platforms where they took up residence Aug. 25 as part of an ongoing campaign of civil disobedience against mountaintop-removal coal mining.
