STRIKERS FIRED ON
NINETEEN KILLED AND FORTY
ONE WOUNDED.
Marching Anthracite Coal Miner* Come
Into Deadly Collision With a Penn*
Sylranla Sheriff and Deputies—
An Attack Made by Strikers
Upon Officers the Cause*
DIMS ter to Marching Striker*.
TTaki.etox, Pa.. Sept 13.—Nineteen
marching striking miners were killed
and forty-one wounded in a conflict
with county deputy sheriffs, led by
Sheriff Martin, on the highway at
Latimer yesterday afternoon.
All of the victims of the officers’
Winchesters were foreigners—Poles
and Hungarians—imported some time
ago to work in tho anthracite coal
mines of this region.
The shots were fired because the
strikers had refused to heed the sher
iff's proclamation to disperse and had
assaulted the sheriff and threatened
his deputies.
as a remit of the riot and further
threats of trouble, the Third brigade
of the Pennsylvania national guard,
commanded by General Gobin, the
new national commander-in-chief of
, the G. A. R., was at once ordered to
this section and the Ninth regiment
under Colonel Dougherty of Wllkes
barre, arrived this morning and other
regiments followed during the day, ,
until the whole prigade was here in
camp.
The strikers left Hazolton about
8:30 o'clock, and it wus their inten
tion to go to Latiner. As soon as this
became known, a band of deputies
was loaded on a trolley car and went
whirling across the mountain to the
scene where the bloody conflict fol
lowed. After reaching Latimer, they
left the car and formed into three
companies, under Thomas Hall, E. A.
Hess and Samuel It. Price. They drew
up in line at the edge of the village,
with a fence and a line of houses in
their rear.
Sheriff Martin was In entire com
mand, and stood in the front of the
line, until the strikers approached.
They ware seen coming across the
ridge, and Martin went out to meet
them. The men drew up suddenly,
and listened in silence until he had
once more read the riot act This fin
ished, a low muttering arose among
the foreigners, and there was a slight
movement forward. Perceiving this,
the sheriff stepped toward them and,
in a determined tone, forbade advance.
Someone struck the sheriff, and the
next moment there was a edmmand to
the deputies to fire.
The guns of the deputies instantly
belched forth a terrible volley. The
report seemed to shake the very moun
tains, and a cry of dismay went up,
from the people. The strikers were
taken entirely by surprise, and as the
men toppled and fell over each other,
those who remained unhurt stam
peded. <:
The men went down before the
storm of bullets like tenpins and the
groans of the dying and wounded
filled the air. The excitement that
fallowed was simply indescribable.
The deputies seemed to be terror
stricken at the deadly execution of
their guns, and, teelttg the living
strikers fleeing like wild and others
dropping to the earth, they went to
the aid of the unfortunates whom1
they had brought down.
Along the bank of the trolley road
men lay in every position, some dead,
others dying. Three bodies, face
downward, lay along the incline and
three others were but a short distance
away/ t On the other side of the road
as many more bodies lay. The school
house was transformed into a tempo
rary hospital and some of the wounded
were taken there. All along the
hillside wounded men were found on
the roadside and in the fields. Many
mlners who hud been carried to a dis
tance could not be found.
Martin Itoski, an intelligent Hun
garian from Mount Pleasant, who was
shot in the arm, was seen by a reporter
and gave' this version of the affair:
“We were going along the road to
Latimer and the deputies were lined
across the road, barring our progress.
We tried to go through tdein. and did
not attempt to hit or molest them,
when they fired upon us. We ran, but
they kept on shooting at us while we
ran. It it all their fault.'’

Atchisox, Kan., Sept. 13.—A feature
of the liryan meeting here yesterday
was the orator's capture of a pick

the stand after the speech, a pick
pocket got in his work through the
crowd until he had made his way up
to Bryan. The light fingered gentle-'
man tried to “touch” the orator while
giving him the glad hand, and was
seized by his intended victim, who
sang out: “Hold him, boys.” People
by the dozen discovered they had been
robbed. The first policeman to arrive
found Bryan hanging to the thief In
regulation “cop” style. The man is a
stranger in Atchison.

SHERIFF MARTIN’S STORY.
Bays **e Ordered the Oepatlee to fire
on the Uanitarleni—Badly Beared.
Wilicesbarre, Pa., Sept 13.—Sheriff
Martin arrived here on the 7 o'clock
train from Ilazelton. He was cool and
collected. He was met at the depot
by his legal adviser. The two got in
to a cab and drove to the court house,
where they were closeted together for
some time. The sheriff was at first re
luctant to sav whether he hod given
the command to fire, but aitevrard ad
mitted that he had. The sheriff’s de
tailed statement is as follows:
“I heard early this morning that
the strik crs were going to march to
the breakers at Latimer and compel
the men there to quit work. I re
solved to intercept them, and, if pos
sible, prevent them from reaching the
breaker. One of my deputies told me
that the strikers would probably be
heavily armed. I got my deputies,
seventy in number, to meet at a cer
tain place. They were all armed. I
told them to keep cool under all cir
cumstances. The trouble began at 3
o'clock. I met the marching column,
halted them and read the proclama
tion. They refused to pay any atten
tion and started to resume their
march.
men i caned on the leader to
•top. He ignored my order. I then
attempted to arrest him. The strikers
closed in on me. They acted very
viciously, kicking me, knocking me
down and trampling upon me. I
called upon my deputies to aid me,
and they did so, but they were unable
to accomplish much. I realized that
something had to he done at once, or
1 would be killed. I called to the dep
uties to discharge their firearms into
the air, over the heads of the strikers,
as It might probably frighten them.
It was done at once, but it had no ef
fect whatever on the infuriated for
eigners, who used me so much the
rougher and became fiercer and fiercer,
more like wild beasts than human
beings.
“The strikers then made a still
bolder move and endeavored to sur
round my entire force of deputies. I
fully realized that the foreigners were
a desperate lot and valued life at a
very small figure. I saw that parley
ing with such a gang of infuriated
men was entirely out of the question,
as they were too excited to listen to
reason and that myself and deputies
wontd be killed if we were not res
cued, or if we did not defend ourselves
I then called upon the deputies to de
fend themselves and shoot, if they
must, to protect their lives or to pro
tect the property that they had been
sent to guard.
“The next second there were a few
scattered shots fired into the foreign
ers, and a moment later the entire
force of deputies discharged a solid
volley into the crowd. I hated to give
the command to shoot, and was awful
sorry that 1 was compelled to do so;
but 1 was there to do my duty, and I
did it as best I knew how. and as my
conscience dictated. The strikers
were violating the laws of the com
monwealth and flatly refused to obey
tho proclamation that 1 read to them.
They Insisted on doing violence and
disobeying the laws, /.
‘‘The scene after the -shooting wa*
simply terrible, and I would have
willingly not had it occur, but, as a
public official,' I was there to see that
the law was obeyed and lived up to,
and I merely did my duty. ” '.■■■■
In another interview Sheriff Martin
said he first met the marching miners
at West HazcUon. He asked them
whore they were going and they re
plied: “We are going to I.atimer and
get the men out there.’* »
Then tho sheriff and seventy dep
uties, armed with Winchesters and re
volvers, boarded a trolly car for Lat
imer and, marching down the public
road, headed the column of Poles and
Hungarians.
According to Martin’s story, when
the strikers reached the line of dep
uties he ordered them to halt and dis
perse. One of the Hungarians said
in broken English: “Go to hell, you
Martin then attempted to arrest the
man who made the remark, and, as he
claims, was fiercely assaulted by the
man’s friends.
Then the firing began.
Mr. Martin was asked: “When you
met the men, were they on company
property or on the public road?”
He replied: "No, they were on the
public road.”
“Were they marching toward Lati
mer?” •
"Yes.” 1 1
“Had they, up to that time, com
mitted any overt act or acted other
wise than peaceably?”
"No."
“Why, then, did you order the depu
ties to fire?” ,
“1 did not order the deputies to fire;
some one else did that. First came a
single shot and then a volley. I gave
no order.” ■ *;
“How many were killed?”
"There were twelve dead when 1
left and about forty wounded.”
“Were any of your men hurt?”
“One of my deputies was shot
through the arm.”

Threshers Running Night and Pat Ereo
In the Early Fart of the Harvest—
A Tremendous Yield—Nebraska
Samples Helng Shown at the
County fairs fn Illinois*
1T« Speaks From Eiiwrlmer.
A Red Willow county correspondent
pf the Omaha Bee gives the following
account of the situation in that section
of Nebraska:
“Harvest lasted live weeks in Red
Willow county, and some machines
ran day and night, only stopping long
enough to change teams. The whis
tles of the steam threshers are heard
long before sunrise, calling the men to
work. They have been at it five weeks
and it looks as if snow would fly be
fore they get through. From What
has been threshed it is estimated that
2,000,000 bushels were raised in this
county this season and the land is not
half under cultivation yet. Some
farmers have 4,000 to 6,000 bushels.
There are thousands of acres where
the crop this year on one acre will pay
for three acres of nice, rich land. One
fine quarter, all under plow, lay idle
this year. Had it been sown to wheat
the crop would have paid for the land,
built a house worth 8600, a barn worth
8400, sunk a well and erected a wind
mill, paid for a team, harness and
wagon, a stove, three cows and a dozen
shoats.
A man rented some land last fall.
Seed wheat was furnished and he got
half the crop. He sowed fifty-four
acres, and his share brought money
enough to pay for a nice eighty-acres
and had 8100 left. Where seed is not
furnished the renter gets two-thirds of
the crop.
There are a good many fields where
the renter’s share of 100 acres will
more than pay for 160 acres of nice
land. I have farmed here f ’teen years,
but never saw so much wheat raised
here in any one year. Some seasons it
yielded a little more per acre, but the
area sown was not nearly so large.
Corn indicates a yield of forty to sixty
bushels per acre. Alfalfa will bq cut
three to four times. 1 have cut mine
twice and the third crop will be cut
soon. This is on upland, where it is
300 feet to water. I pick apples fresh
from my trees for pies and dumplings.
KEHRASKA CROPS LUP,
The Burlington has an exhibit of Ne
braska products at nearly all of the
county fairs in Iowa and Illinois and
reports from these gatherings show
that the Nebraska exhibits excel those
of the states named. The quality of
the products shown is declared better
than any grain in the states named
this year. Especially are the small
grains and the garden products at
tracting much attention.
In this connection it can be stated
that the nine land buyers who were
brought here from Illinois by R. N.
Johns of Pontiac, a Burlington land
agent, this week and taken over Ne
braska were well pleased with the out
look and several of them made pur
chases. September 7 Mr. Johns will
bring another party into Nebraska
from Iowa and Illinois with a view of
buying land. He states that the
farmers of the middle states are very
much interested in Nebraska land, and
that he expects that this fall there will
be many of them come here and locate.
Mot MoiUiuir tip Irturaae* Companies.
Lincoln dtsp&tah! It has been ru
mored lately that insurance companies
were being charged illegal fees by the
state auditor, and, that some of the
money thus taken was pocketed by in
dividuals instead of being turned 'into
the state treasury.
“I just heard of the rumor.today,”
said Auditor Cornell this afternoon,
“and I understand it is being widely
circulated in Omaha. I wish you would
say that any story that I am holding
up the insurance companies, charging
more than the law allows and putting
the surplus in my pocket, is untrue. If
anyone is interested enough to go to
the trouble to inquire at tne auditor's
office in reference to the charges made
to insurance companies, he will have
free access to the books and the as
sistance of the office force, that he may
inform himself as to the matter. It is
true that sometimes the clerks in the
office make copies of the records at
the request of the companies, but it is
no part of their official duty, and when
done after hours the clerks are entitled
to pay for the work. If any of them
have made overcharges 1 have not
heard of it.”
A* To Thurston's Resignation.
Touching the recent declaration of
Senator Thurston at the republican
state conveution, a story is afloat that
he contemplates resigning his seat in
the senate if Governor Holcomb can be
induced to appoint a republican as his
successor. It is claimed that Senator
Thurston haa talked the matter over
with Senator Allen and that through
the latter the matter has been pre
sented to the governor. Of course in
case the senator were to resign and a
successor be appointed, the appoint
ment would only run to the next ses
sion of the legislature. The reason
that political gossip assigns for this
alleged contemplated step by Senator
Thurston is that his position is too
severe a strain upon his finances. He
is anxious to return to his more re
munerative law nractiee.
Train* For State Fair Week.
The passenger department of the
Union Pacific has just completed ar
rangements for three special trains
from Nebraska points to the state fair,
to be run on each of the following days
of state fair week: September 21, 22,
23 and 24. These trains are so ar
ranged that every point in the state
will be afforded direct transportation
to and from the state fair.
The executive committee of the pro
hibition state committee met in Lincoln

MORE BODIES FOUND.
Th« Death Liu of the Emporia Wreck
Increasing—More Probably Horned.
Emporia, Kan., Sept 13.—The death
list of the wreck is increasing. Two
bodies were found yesterday afternoon
burned beyond all resemblance to hu
man beings. After the finding of the
body of the woman yesterday morn
ing the wrecking crew increased their
efforts and under the coaches found
two men. It is thought that many
more bodies are under the wreck, as
the odor of decomposing flesh is very
strong at various points.
The Wolls-Fargo Express company
recovered the safe which had been in
the wreck, and although it had been
in the fire for sixteen hours not a
package in it was injured.
Topeka, ICan., Sept. 11.—In refer

Patent Pointer*.
In a recent expired patent is shown
a clever mechanism, by means of which
a shaft was checked or stopped three
times during one revolution by means
of a swinging pendulum, provided with
four shoulders, as is shown. The shaft
was provided with three arms, which
worked within the pendulum, and al
ternately engaged the shoulders. The
second illustration shows two gears,
which are alternately rotated in oppo
site directions by the continuously ro
taing mutilated central pinion. Where
a thing is marked “Patented’- as of a
date not of its patent, but of the date
of an earlier patent to the same paten
tee, upon which it is an improvement,
the U. S. circuit court recently held
that the inventor had not complied
with the law and so could not collect
damages for infringement.
