had the courage Of lions, they were poor
marksmen
The stable where the bodies are lying has
Deem surrounded al day with strikers and
th0ir friends. Persons who understand
their language say their threats are fearful
They swear TO be avenged.
REFUSAL TO ARREST.
Peter Wise, district master workman. ap-
piled 70 Justice Now uliams TO arrest the
deputies for murder but the Justice refused
70 do so. Wise denounced the shooting as
cold-blooded murder. and said there was no
protection for the working man. Physi-
clans say forty strikers were wounded,
many OF them mortally. The excitement
10 increasing, and prospects for another out
break are growing every hour.
ANOTHER RAID EXPECTED.
The report that q second attack took place,
in which four more were killed, Is pro-
nounced untrue, but another raid is ex-
peoted at any time Squire MoCabb con-
sented TO issue the warrants prayed for,
charging the deputies with murder, and the
warrants were served this afternoon. Gen.
eral Manager Lynch Of the Frick Company
and Superintendent Ramsay of the More
wood plant are made accessories before the
fact The deputies were arrested and gave
bail at once.
LAUER's HOUSE SURROUNDED.
Tonight the streets at Mount Pleasant
and the roads nearing the works at More-
wood are crowded with strikers. There has
been an ugly crowd numbering at least 400
about the residence of Capt. Lauer all
day, and tonight the numbers run
into thousands. Capt. Lauer was the leader
of the guards who fired on the men, and the
mob stands ready to tear his house down
over his ears. Fortunately for the gentle-
man, Capt. Lauer has disappeared. He
left his home and the city soon after the
shooting at Moorewood and has not been
seen since. He Is the man who was burned
In effigy the other day, and 1t is conceded
that his departure was well advised, IL not
brave.
A STRIKERS STORY.
An astonishing story is told tonight by a
striker named Dunn, who was among the
leaders Of the riot He said; II was with
the body Of men on the bridge and
stopped a moment 20 light my cigar.
There Is no doubt that rumors Of bombs had
fired the minds Of the guards, for they took
the lighting of my cigar as portending
somethlng dangerous. The guards then
fired directly toward the point where
I stood. and the men fell
around me. We fed instantly, only
leaving men enough TO stand by our fallen
comrades, some twenty in all. After the
shooting ! heard the one in command Of
the guards exclaim, "Don't be too quicklp
Another statement made was that Capt.
Lauer said he was ordered to
fire by Deputy Sheriff Mcconnell.
The fact Is, tonight some very
strange stories are told on both
sides Of the rioting gang in regard 10 the
provocation offered tho guards before the
latter fred. They will have an opportunity
to repeat them, however, in court, as the
guards are being arrested as rapidly as
possible.
A BIO CROWD AT MT. PLEASANT.
At least 5000 men are In the vicinity OF
Mount Pleasant tonight, and the feeling
generated by the appearance of several
companies Of the Eighteenth and Tenth
regiments tonight is one of security, both
among the strikers and citizens The foreign
element, however, is very uneasy, and there
is very PLAIN talk here among some of their
representative men that higher power
than the state will be called in. They in
innate plainly that their mother country
may have something to say as to their
treatment by the guards, whom they say all
belonged TO the national guard of Pennsyl-
vania, captained by Lauer II is impossible to
get the operators or guards side OF the sltua-
ton, as the guards are either invisible or
under arrest, and the operators say nothing
except that the firing was justified. But
one thing was plain to their mind, the
strikers surrounded Moorewood this morn
ing from no pacific motive
Coroner Wakefield will hold an inquest
early in the morning. Deputy Sheriff Nc
ConDell insists that Lauer gave the order to
tre, which the latter so strenuously denied.
