the strikers and driven away. Rein
forced by Sheriff Mccormick and a
large force the deputies returned, when
a pitched battle took place between the
Sherlf's posse and about 300 Hungarian
men and women in which Hungarian
Girl was killed and others injured, among
whom are several deputies.
The battle occurred about O'Clock
this afternoon. While the members Of
Company c. were lunching down at the
boiler house, the deputies were trying
to keep the uungarians from carrying
back the household goods which had
been thrown out Of the houses. In the

fighting with the deputies when Sheriff
Mccormick started to arrest him. The
Hungarian saw him coming and tried to
shoot. The girl who was killed was a
lover Of the big Hungarian and was

young tigress. The deputies say the
pistol went otIin the hands ofthe Hunga-

have doubles been injured, ii not killed.

thumb by the bullet that killed the girl.
