HOllie time. As a result one llIan was
killed und anotJlel' mortally wounded.
Several mO\'o were shot , anel 40 of the
strikers are now under arrest in the
town hall at Hocleland.
The trouble started on Monelay ,
when the tmmmers struck for higher
( lay. 'rho miners and other employes
wantud to worl < , as they WJro satisfied -
fied with their wages , but elltl not for
fear of the tmmmors. 'rnesday night i
Shorlff McFarland and a huge parly !
of deputies who had been sworn In
at Ontonagon and HocJtlaud went to
the mine to guard the mell who de.
sired to worl. . As the miners went to
the ell' ) ' hOIlHe to put on their workIng -
Ing clothes several stones were
thrown at them ! J ' the strikers. After
changing their clothes the miners
started for the shaet house , when the
strikers attelllpted to rush them. ' 1'he
trammel's were armed with stones ,
clubs , knives and revolvers , In the
genernl melee seveml shots were fired
by strllwrs. 'rhe sherLff and dellutles
then returned the fire.
The battle raged fiOl'cely for a time ,
but the tranl1l101'S were soon beaten
