UNIoNTowN, Pa, April 22.-The coke
strike yielded another pathetic murder
this morning. At Tricks Adelaide
Works, across the river in Dunbar town
ship, Deputy Sheriff Crawford and a
posse who sought to make a lot of evic-
lions were stoned and driven back by a
mob of Hungarian strikers. A subse-
guent requisition, through Sheriff
Mccormick, brought Company @, Tenth
Regiment, with 80 men. Then, with
the military drawn up in line, the eyic-
tons proceeded to the end.
About o'clock one family re-entered
house, and when the sheriff attempted
to put them out second time a mob as
sembled and beat him and his deputies,
The leader of the Huns tapped his pis-
tol and said; "Me shoot id Ameri-
CAMP
The sheriff grappled with him, and
Deputy Crawford coming to his assist
ance, struck the Hun over the head with
his revolver.
The Hun now started to run, and the
sheriff sped after HIM amid shower of
stone. When he was nearly within
reach of him the Huns sweetheart, a
girl of about IL, ran between him and
the sheriff. just then two shots were
fired, and the girl fell. Two women
came to her side, she got up and walked
with them into house, and in few
minutes afterward she was reported
dead. Deputy Crawford thinks her
lover fired the shot in trying to shoot
the sheriff.
Another shot was fired, which cut
Sheriff McCormick's thumb.

CoNNELLsyiLLE, Pa, April 23.-Blood-
shed and riot follow in the wake of the
great strike in the coke regions, as the
bloody conflict to-day between the county
officials and strikers at LeisenTing No. 8
fully attests This morning Sheriff Me-
Cornick, accompanied by 80 members of
Company c, under Capt. Erasher, pro-
ceeded to Leisenring No g. where Is fami-
lies were to be evicted.
The militia were marched to the top of
the hill overlooking the works. while the
sheriff, with 10 deputies proceeded to the
block of houses known as "the barracks"
and commenced the UNPLEASANT task of
evicting the striking cookers and their fami-
lies.
The most of those to be evicted were
Huns. 1t was feared from the start that
trouble wollld ensue. from the fact that
those to be elected in this case have re-
sisted eviction at every point.
There were no demonstrations Of yio-
lence which meant mischief until the
eleventh house was reached. Here the
sheriff was resisted by Andy Blassko and
his wife. They occupied d part of the
house, but not the part of which the
sheriff had taken possession.
The sheriff was standing on the ton stem
at the kitchen door when the infatuated
female mounted the steps and made M III
tempt to gain admission to the house. The
sheriff ordered her to leave but She re-
fused, and tried to gain an entrance Nv

steps by the sheriff. This was repeated
several times.
Finally, the woman,s husband went IL
aid her. The sheriff was then comnelled

Then the woman uttered d Mild, pecnlisr

The sheriff drew his revolver and or

his command and pressed on, Realizing
that words were useless, the sheriff onened
fire upon the mob. They fled il all direc-
tions.
After clearing the ground the sheriff re-
turned to his most, only to be attacked
more iiercely than ever BY the women.
While irvine to keen them back some of
the men renewed the attack with clubs.
