and the Miners union, two rival organiza-
tions a the little coal mining town Of
Newcastle, eighteen miles from Seattle.
Trouble arose over Miners union man
being given preference over knight.
Friday the Knights OF Labor began an at
tack upon the Miners union. A force of
thirty knights cut the telegraph wires,
stationed sentinels and began assaulting
the men at the mines. The attacking
party afterward boarded the 8 O'Clock train
at Newcastle, armed with rifles, and rode
to Coal Creek. At that point the regular
force of the Miners union was attacked by
the knights with every kind Of missile.
The train was on trestle, and some Of
the leaders were driven or thrown off,
falling seventy feet or more. They then
returned to Newcastle and assaulted
the men there again. Foreman Dun
can Ross was badly injured. Terrace
Mularkey was using his Winchester upon
the unionists, so the Miners union
brought out their rifles and opened fire on
the knights. Three fell. Their names
are not given. The sheriff with posse
went to Newcastle in the afternoon, and as
the firing was very fierce, called for the
militia. The latest reports are to the
effect that the trouble is about over. A
train arrived late that night with one
corpse. Personal experiences were pretty
severe, and S. J. Crobut, Of the Miners
union. who was injured, says he was first
saved by bad shot Of knight, and was
then clubbed down by the butt Of the gun.
Others jumped on him and he was badly
injured Other experiences were like this.
