and sixty Hungarian women were thrown
into the Shamokin creek last evening by the
angry miners at Hickory Ridge, and kept
there until thoroughly soaked and exhausted.
Many savage struggles took place between
the men and women, and, while none was
fatally injured, dozens will feel for weeks
the effects of the fight. The Hungarians
have a peculiar custom, amounting to re-
ligious duty, which requires them to throw
water on people for two days after Easter.
They think it bad luck in the thrower to fail
in an attempt to cover the victim with
water II successful, both viii be blassed.
Too Gallant for Awhile.
The custom obtains among the most ig-
norant Hungarians who thickly inhabit the
hamlet of Hickory Ridge No matter who
would pass along the highway, these Hun
garians would hurl the water at them. As
each wear passed the American miners would
invariably be greeted by buckets of water
in the face as they emerged from the mines.
OF course fl ghts occurred when the Hunga-
rians thrs W the water, | ut the miners We're

Lost Their Chivalry, However.
Tuesday the miners heard of an attempt
by the wo men to duck Holden Chester, Jr
and William Rhinehart, two of the bosses.
Ii was decided on quitting work last even

!, they would duck all the Hungarian women
in the hamlet. The whistled sounde "all

almost drowned with water from the buck
cts of a score of women. The angry miners
were reinforced, and while dozen rushed
upon the women aud dragged them TO the
creek, body went into every house IN the
hamlet in search of Hungarian women
Filled the Greek with Them.
The fight that ensuel was very exciting,
and the scene a strange one. In short
time the creek was alive with struggling
women, while the hanks were lined with
hundreds Of miners and English-speaking
residents. As each woman climbed the banks
some workman would rush at her, pick her
up in his arms and throw her back into the
stream. Great care was taken that none of
the women should drown, although quite a
number of them tainted
Daddened the Huns.
The Hungarian men We're not strong
enough TO show fight, and remained mad
dened spectators at a safe distance When
the invasion OF the hamlet occurred three of
the women armed themselves with weapons
and rushed from house to house shrieking
for their sisters to band together and drive
the men back In an interview with one of
the miners he said: 1--WE would not seriously
hurt the women for worlds, but the practice
must be stopped. In our estimation the duck
ing will have its good effects The Hun
garians are enraged over the affair and
threaten vengeance.
