this morning on the Italian boarding
house located above s reefs Run, and oc.
cupied BY gang Of laborers employed in
grading for the approaches TO the new B &
y. bridge over, the Monongahela river al
that point This las. raid resulted In the
arrest Of thirty-two men, all Of whom were
brought to the city 10 wagons which
mad been sent for that purpose. When
the officers appeared at the shanty the oc.
curanta were all asleep, and "a a M as they
were arouse d they wee bsndcaffe'. The
suddenness OF the attack CAUSED the great.
ct excitement in the camp, some OF The
prisoners being Impressed with the idt a
that hostile band was upon them, auq
they began to take active measurea
lor defense. A small boy was the
t1st to discover the presence Of the off.
GERS, and he gave shrill cry Of alarm that
aroused the whole gang. he was promptly
qaleted, however, and in describing The
scene said every man hal two yolyers,
and they snapped the things around the
mems wrists before they we're fully awake
The man were finally made to understand
that they had been arrested and would
have to 20 to town, and then they made no
further efforts at reeiHtance. They were
followed to the city by John Oronin, the
grading boes, and it wes not until he
reached town that he was informed OF the
reason OF asreat. .>isI S ly:Es-,l
At the Mayors Office be said: "I'm sure
my men had nothing whatever to 10 With
the woman. because the party who watches
over the camp st night would have known
II she had been made i prisoner in the
ehanty. Some Of them saw 'her coming
down the road on Monday morning, when
they were on their way to WORK, bat
they did not ,nolest or even speak to her.
as few, il any Of them, can talk any Ens.
lish. I think they are entirely innocent,
and it seems to me that Il il an Outrage
to drag them from their work am.
ply because the woman happened tc
be seen wandering about the line Of
the grading. When she Was seen on
Monday morning she appeared to be in a
dazsd coIdition, and although her clothes
were OF good material, she wes in a
W1etched looking plight, and seemed to be
hunting tor something to eat or drink. II
there is any positive information against
them 1t is all right, but 1t is bard TO make
the innocent suffer ior the crimes Of Others.
The arrest will seriously Interfere with the
work in progreee1. aud II they are kept in
al yat;l 4rxs Friday before they have q
htsring, We will be required to have u new
tapg, as they have no person here to 20
bail for thsm. The only occupan' Of the
shAnty not arrested were four boys en-
ployed in carrying water." E1@t 3g
