ScoTTDALE (Pa.), May 4.-The coke re-
circumference by just such another scene as
has been feared for weeks since the
dreaded Morewood killing. Even at
this hour 1t is difficult to secure posi-
tive information owing to the excite
ment. The most reliable accounts, how
ever. agree that two Hungarians, who
had left the works, delayed their visit, and
Superintendent Gray became suspicious.
lie, with assistants and four Deputy
SheriffS, visited the house No. IL. where
their workmen were enjoying themselves.
Their entrance caused stampede among
the strikers. and one of them. Hungar ian,
rushed out and aroused other strikers, and
soon 200 persons were on the scene.
Gray and the deputies were followed down
the hill by an angry crowd, who were so
close that they were compelled to back
down with rifles presented. Mahan rushed
up to one of the deputies, and. scizing his
rifle, grappled with him. The deputy fired
and the balance followed suit. In the fusis
lade Malan was killed, while another was
injured.
There is great apprehension of greater
trouble at Leisenring and the force Of depu-
ties has been largely increased. After an
investigation the Coroner rendered yer.
dict that Mahan died from gun-shot wounds
fred by unknown persons.
On information of Worthy Foreman Nc
Sloy OF the Mine-workers Superintendent
Gray, Mine Boss Callahan and Yard Boss
Agney were arrested for murder and taken
to jail. Testimony adduced at the preliIni-
nary hearing placed the blame of the shoot
ing on Gray.
Some thirty families were eYicted to-day
at BToadf0rd, and more would have been
thrown out had not the deputies object to
being stoned and struck because they were
not allowed to use their revolVers on the
strikers. There is no doubt slow but
steady gain is being made on the men owing
to heavy importations OF laborers.
