Trouble Looked For.
BLOOD FLOWS AGAIN.
Uniontown, Pa., May 25. The long
threatened attack by striking miners
on the pits of the Washington Coal &
Coke company at Stickle Hollow was
made Thursday morning. The flht
was one of the fiercest in the history
of the mining troubles in western
Pennsylvania, and in the section where
I it occurred as well as throuchout the
whole coke region the situation it has
developed is one of the most intense
"excitement.
Four strikers are lying dead, and
double that number are badly wound
ed, some of them mortally. Thomas
Kenan, of Wood's run, is the only
American killed in the encounter with
the deputies. The other dead men are
Slavs. The wounded men, who fell
under the first volley from the depu
ties, were taken off by the retreating
strikers, and even now the actual
number of wounded is not definitely
known, their friends having the strong
est motives for concealing them.
The fight occurred at daybreak in
the public roadway leading to the
Stickle Hollow plants. Two thousand
strikers, after camping near the
works all night, came out to inter
cept the men on their way to work
and induce them to come out. A few
of them carried Winchesters, while
fully fifty others were armed with
shotguns, muzzle-loading rifles and re
volvers. Because of their threatening
demonstrations and the fact that they
had given notice to the company that
they had come to drive off the deputies
if necessary, there were ball cartridges
in the Winchesters carried by the
guards, and the entire outfit at the
works was in general readiness to re
ceive raiders. The deputies had specific
orders to shoot to kill.
The strikers stopped the first delega
tion of miners and after a little per
suasion induced them to join the
strike. The men turned back, and
about the time they were startingback
home with their dinner buckets
the deputies who were on guard
and witnesses to the affair were
ordered to shoot. They fired
three volleys into the mob at a range
of about 50 yards. The first volley
brought forth no response from the
strikers, who were thought to be well
armed, but instead they ran in every
direction, leaving the dead and wound- I
ed lying in the public road. Thedepu-
ties followed with two more volleys j
and were shooting when the last strik- !
ers disappeared. j
The report of the affair, as given by j
the officials of the company, is to the j
effect that three strikers were picked
up dead in the road after the shooting j
aud about a dozen wounded ones were j
carried away by their comrades. The j
reports say six men were killed and )
sixteen wounded. The plant is so far !
back in the country that the actual ;
facts have not j-et been received. j
Sixty-six of the strikers were placed ;
under arrest and taken back to tho I
company's ground, where they were '
j closely R-uarded during the rest of the J
I day. The whole lot of them were later I
j placed in box cars, which were nailed 1
up, and kept there until this evening
when they were brought here to the j
jail in charge of twenty-five deputies.
The situation at the mines is alarm-
ing and more serious trouble is ex- !
pected. Reports from there are to the
effect that 3,000 strikers from the lower .
end of the fourth pool were marching j
on Stickle Hollow, thoroughly armed,
for the purpose of storming the works
regardless of consequences.
AN ENGINE ON FIRE.
Thrilling Kldo of a Burlington Engineer
and Fireman.
Galeorurg, 111., May 25. On account
of the lack of coal the Chicago. Bur
lington fc Quincy railroad made the
experiment Wednesday night of run
ning the fast mail from Chi
cago with oil. When the train
was 4 miles east of Kewanee
and running at the rate of 50 miles an
hour, the glass in the lubricator can
broke and instantly three quarts of
kerosene were spilled by steam pres
sure through the cab. Striking the
hot boiler head, the oil was ignited
and the next moment the whole inte
rior of the cab was filled with flames.
The fireman, Edward Martin, was
standing in front of the lubricator,
and his clothes, saturat?d with oil,
were quickly all ablaze. He rolled on
the cab floor to extinguish the flames.
Engineer V. E. Giddings thrust one arm
aud leg and his body from the cab win
dow, and with the other foot set the
brake and brought the train to a stand
still. Martin, before the train
stopped, jumped from the floor, and,
with flames streaming from his clothes,
rushed to the water tank, raised the
cover and jumped in, extinguishing the
flames. Giddings jumped from his en
gine and rolled around In the wet
grass.
Martin was put on a freight train
and brought home. His clothes, save
his undershirt, had been destroyed by
the Are. He was horribly burned and
is in a precariouscondition. Giddings'
left hand was badly burned, and the
flames devoured his overalls and trou
Rers, onl3' his drawers saving him from
serious injury.
BAD GANG BROKEN UP.
Well-Known Citizen of Oklahoma In
dicted for Horse Stealing.
Oklahoma City, O. T., May 25. Thir
ty well-known citizens of TecumseU,
an Indian town 50 miles east of this
place, have been indicted for horse
stealing. Of this number seventeen

and officers are in close pursuit.

over this discovery and the breaking
up of one of the most remarkable crim
inal organizations ever known in
this country. The grand jury ia

CALLED OUT THE TROOPS.
Illinois Militia Sent to Quell Labor Riot
at La SaUe and Other Points.
S r ring fie li, 111., May 25. Gov. Alt
geld has ordered Col. Bennett, of Jol
iet, to report at La Salle at once with
one company from Ottawa, one from
Streator and two from Aurora to
quell the miner's riot there. Adjt.
Gen. Orendorff was ordered to take
command there.
Through requests made by the sheriff
of Marion county the governor ordered
Col. Smith, of Greenup, to select fivo
companies of the Third regiment to re
port at Centralia. Col. Bayle, assist
ant adjutant general, will go to that
point at once to take command.
Sheriff Taylor, of La Salle county,
telegraphed the governor the condition
of affairs at the La Salle County Car
bon Coal company's mine. He said he
with a large force of deputies had been
attacked by several hundred miners
with stones, revolvers and other
weapons, shooting three of the
deputies, severely injuring several
others, including himself. He was
unable to quell the riot, and there
was imminent danger of great loss of
life and destruction of property
if immediate action was not taken by
the governor. He appealed to the
governor for such military aid as j
could be furnished. There are 3,000 ;
striking miners at Spring Valley, Ladd
and Seatonville, who are likely to '
come there at any time and continue j
the riot. A mob is surrounding the I
hotel where lie is lying wounded. j
The telegram was confirmed by one
from the mayor of La Salle, F. W. Mat-
tnison, wlio states the moo Has re- ;
leased one of the arrested strikers '
from jail. Later the sheriff telegraphed :
that the strikers were running riot and :
to forward troops at once. j
Sheriff M. J. Helms, of Centralia, '
telegraphed that he had arrested sev- j
enty-five men for conspiracy in de-!
stroying property, that he has 200 1
armed deputies. The mines at Sando- '
val, Kinmuudy and Odin are threat- I
ened with destruction by approaching
miners, who are also determined to re-
lease those under arrest. j
La Salle. 111., May 25. An attack f
was made Thursday on the La Salle ;
County Coal company's shaft by a mob j
of 1,500 striking miners. Several depu- j
ty sheriffs and some of the strikers !
were shot. The miners had been at- j
tending a meeting and in passing
the shaft on their way home
a crowd assembled and the men .
soon became riotous. Twenty-five '
deputy sheriffs were on guard '
at the shaft and Sheriff Taylor warned !
the men off the private property of
the company. The crowd becoming
more ugly the sheriff gave his men
orders to fire into the air. The crowd
scattered, but soon returned and
threw stones. Then there was a hand-to-hand
conflict in which many shots
were exchauged. Sheriff Taylor Mas
knocked down, trampled on aud bally
kicked and beaten. His injuries are
not serious. Deputy Sheriffs John
Dwyer and Tom Hoolihan, both of Ot
tawa, were severely wounded. Hooli
han's injuries muy prove fatal. Five
of the strikers are thought to have
been hit by bullets and seriously hurt.
The mob was finally dispersed with the
aid of the local police and three rioters
were arrested.
The miners determined to free their
comrades and marched to the hotel,
where they demanded the liberation
of the prisoners. But the sheriff had
sent two of the men to Ottawa, where
they are now confined in the county
jail. Being assured that the prisoners
were not in the hotel the mob pro
ceeded to the city jail, where a third
one was confined, and with threaten
ing cries demanded that the man be
liberated. The men said they intended
to tear down the jail if their demands
were not acceded to, and the man was
set free.
The wounded sheriff is unable to
leave his hotel, though he is not dan
cerously hurt. The situation is so
serious, owing to the mood of the min
ers, that an urgent appeal was made
for troops. There has been no trouble
since 9 p. m.
Centralia, 111., May 25. Thursday
was a day of great excitement here.
The miners who stole a train at Du-
ouoin Wednesday arrived here at 3
o'clock a. m., and at 5 o'clock
they assembled at the Big Four
mine and commenced destroy
ing things. The engine was
wrecked, the dynamo injured, the
office furniture demolished, the tracks
torn up, the cages and cars with all
loose timber and rubbish piled into the
shaft. The damage is estimated at
$5,000, and it will take a month to
clear out the shaft. Aiter com
pleting their work of destruction
the crowd loafed around for an
hour or so. when it started north on
the railroad. At the junction the party
divided, a part going to Sandoval and
the rest to (Klin, intending later to go
to I'ana. The sheriff swore in 100 dep
uties and started on a special train to
Sandoval. There he talked to the
men, who started to Odin, the sheriff
following.
The crowd stopped half a mile south
of town, where it was surrounded by
the deputies, who had warrants for
600 rioters. The crowd started to run,
and about fifteen shots were fired,
which demoralized the mob, and 100 ar
rests were made. The prisoners were
inarched to the city and quartered in
the opera house, where they will be
held for trial. The question of their
disposition is difficult, as the jail will
hold only twenty-five prisoners.
