Shenandoah (Pa) Dispatch: The strik-
ing miners here have NJ Inst ovorstepped
oil bounds and have been rioting upand
down the streets in full possession OF the
town.
At 3 o'clock when the non-union min
ers left their work in the Shenandoah
City and West Shenandoah collieries
lot OF striking Polandors attacked them
with stones. A squad Of half dozen
coal and iron police went at once to
their assistance, They caught one OF
tho rioters and were hustling him of
when tho strikers rallied and rescued
him and began TO handle tho officers
roughly. Later, however, they sue
ceedod in breaking away and started for
the Shenandoah City mine, followed by
o crowd of riotous strikers, who now
numbered about one thousand and who
continued their attacks on the men and
boys coming from the mine The six
policemen accepted the long odds against
them and returned TO the attack. They
made n sharp fight and took n couple OF
prisoners, one OF whom they landed in
Magistrate Shoemaker's office, but the
crowd rushed for the two policemen
with the other prisoner and began to
club and beat them.
Finding themselves down and their
lives in danger they drew their revolv-
ers and fired into the crowd, which
scattered in oil directions. Mix Heff-
ron, n young man, received ball in the
mouth and is badly injured. John Car
ther, an iron founder, was shot in arm,
and Polander was shot behind the
ear. A borough officer then arrested
both police for shooting in the crowd.
They were taken before Squire Mona

sworn out by Polander, charging them
with assault with intent TO kill.
They plead guilty and were awaiting

Some bruised bodies resulted. The
town is in perfect uproar. Men are
mad with passion and drink and no one
seems to have any power to quell them.
| The borough authorities are powerless
and no one can say how the mob fury
may yet assert itself. Captain Christian
will mass his whole force of coal and
iron men here tomorrow, together with

night swore in three fire companies as q
posse -comitatus preparatory for trouble

instructed the chief burgess to
swear in special officers for an emer-

at the Kohinoor colliery, was shot at this
evening but escaped injury. His assail-
ant was arrested.
At midnight the mob dispersed and
everything is quiet.
