This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Statement on
Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") on or about January 17, 1997 (the
"Statement"), by James W. Sight relating to the common stock, par
value $2.50 per share (the "Common Stock") of Westmoreland Coal
Company, a Delaware corporation ("Westmoreland"). The
undersigned hereby amends and supplements Item 5 of the Statement
by adding the following information (capitalized terms used
herein without definition shall have the same meaning as set
forth in the Statement):
Item 5
In a series of transactions from February 3, 1998 to April 3,
1998, Sight sold 76,000 shares of Common Stock owned by Sight in
open market transactions at prices ranging from $1.75 to $1.94
per share. The details of such transactions are:
Number of
Trade Date Shares Traded Price Per Share
- ---------- ------------- ---------------
2/3/98 8,500 $1.8125
2/4/98 10,000 1.8000
2/5/98 6,500 1.8000
2/6/98 7,500 1.8125
2/10/98 2,500 1.7500

3/25/98 15,000 1.7917
4/3/98 11,000 1.9375
After the sale of the 76,000 shares of Common Stock, Sight is
currently the beneficial owner of 301,500 shares of Common Stock
and, based upon the information provided in Westmoreland's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
1997, his ownership percentage represents approximately 4.3% of
Westmoreland's issued and outstanding Common Stock.
Except for the sale of shares of Common Stock in the
transactions described above, no transactions in the shares of
Common Stock were effected during the past 60 days by Sight or,
to the best of his knowledge, any of the persons identified in
Item 2 of the Statement.
SIGNATURE
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my
knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in
this statement is true, complete and correct.
