Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch |
SHAMoKIN, Pa, April 1O-Between fifty and
sixty Slav women were thrown in Shamokin
creek last evening by angry miners at Hickory
Ridge and kept there until thoroughly eX-
hausted. Many savage struggles occurred be-
tween the men and women and while none were
fatally injured, dozens will feel for weeks the
effects of the fight. The Slavs have peculiar
custom amounting to areligious duty by throw
ing water on people for two days after Easter
They think it bad luck for the thrower to fail
and that If successful, both VIII be blessed No
matter who passed along the highway the
Slavs at Hickory Ridge hurled water at them.

would be greeted by buckets of water in the

day the miners heard of an attempt by the
women to duck Holden Chester and William
Khmehardt, two BOSSES 1t was decided on
quitting work last evening that if any of the
men were attacked they would duck all the
Slav women in the hamlet.
The whistle sounded ''all home'' at 9 o'cloc,
and when the first four men gained the earth,s
surface they were almost drowned with water
from the buckets of a score of women The
angry miners were reinforced, and while a dozen
OF them rushed upon the women and dragged
them TO the creek, another squad went into
every house in the hamlet in search OF Slay
women. In short time the creek was filed
with struggling women, while the banks were
lined with hundreds of miners and English
speaking residents. Great care was taken that
none of the women should drown although sew

The Slavs are en-aged over the affair and
threaten vengeance.
