Sheriff Mccormick started out on his evic-
ton tour yesterday in the Pennsylvania coke
region and was himself evicted before his task
was completed. He met with no trouble in
setting out six families at NIorgans, but at the
Trotter works in attempting to Gust the family
of Fred Strausach, a stalwart Polander, he met
with lively reception. A crowd of strikers
kept the deputies from entering Strausachs
house. while the sheriff himself was met in the
house by Strausach's wife and five other women,
who charged on him furiously. They threw
hot water and hot coffee on him, and then
pitched him out through the door. They were
armed with new axes and mining picks, and
would have killed the sheriff had he persisted.
Subsequently Strausach went to Connellsville
to prosecute the sheriff, when he was arrested
and taken to Jail. Mccormick will make
another attempt today with larger force and
