Ger, but about o'clock this morning the
prisoners made break for liberty, and four
teen escaped. Warrants were issued for the
arrest of the whole Weston party, including
Milton Weston. DR.. ]. L. Crawford, Albert
Beeson and Henry Ramaly, all prominent
persons. information was made against
them for murder. The names of the vic
tins of the riot are as follows: O. V. Hay
maker, dead; James p Watson, Charles
Stager c. T. Ray, John McCleliand, injured
the last three fatally
This morning fifteen armed men belonging
to the Weston force arrived, and are now on
the ground, but have not attempted any vio-
lence. Fourteen of Weston's men who par

taken to Greensburg, where they will be
given a hearing.
This afternoon Bcwser was charged with

NOUS assault. Everything is quiet at the
disputed point, and both claimants have
been notified to keep off the grounds by the
sheriff The feeling is intense, and favors

his release from jail he proposed organizing
a company and take possession of the we'll

phone wires were cut between Murraysville
and Pittsburg, and communication is sus-
pended.

fire, and that the Haymaker party were I'M
armed and acted entirely upon the defensive.
The verdict rendered charges Bowser with
murder and the others with feloneous as
sault with attempt to kill. A preliminary
hearing was given fifteen prisoners at Green's
burg, after which they were lodged in Jail to
await trial by the court. The leaders are
