MT. PHEASANT, Pa, April 3.-This
town was shaken to its very center at
S:25 o'clock yesterday morning. At
that hour seven Hungarian rioters were
ehot dead aud twenty OF more wounded
by deputy sheriffs. The greatest excite
ment prevails.
The stable in the rear of Undertaken
Zimmerman's store was used for
morgue, and the streets and alleys near
1t were crowded with anxious Huns and
natives. As fast as the bodies were rec
ognized friends took them, and the
moaning and wailing of the relatives
was heartrending. Following is list

Binero, italian, of Tarrs; shot through
the breast.
The Strikers Appear.
At about 2:30 o'clock in the morning
doubtless a Thousand men gathered
around Morewood. The deputies were
keeping a sharp lookout. Their orders
were definite. No one was to fire un-
ness attacked, or when an advancing
enemy failed to halt at the command.
Finally, at almost 3 o'clock, about 500
strikers arrived on the Morewood road
from Standard. Each man in the
crowd was armed. Some carried sticks,
some fence rails, some clubs that looked
like small battering rams.
Opposing Forces Meet.
Your report er followed the Standard
crowd and halted on hill to the east
OF the store. From here fine view of
the conflict could be obtained. The
column advanced toward the Morewood
store. The guards were in charge of
Deputy Sheriff Mcconnell and Can't.
Loar. The latter had been sworn in as
a deputy, rs were also some men from
Company l.. They were stationed at
the west side of the company's store.
The deputies ut the east side were un-
der Mcconnell.
As the Huns advanced, making but
little noise, the deputies remained ST.

were bent on mischief. The column
had not all passed when thoss in front
made dash for the compuny's fence.
Capt. Loar cried "Halt," but not man
stopped. In answer to the captains

Ing near him each felt the hot lead pass
their bodies. The deputy sheriffs then
came to the relief of the soldier depu-
ties. The Huns marched down the
road and bioke for the company's
stables
The Air Alive With Bullets.
Another command to halt. Another
answer to the command by pistol shots.
The infuriated men kept their course
toward the stables. The command was
given to fire and the deputies came to
aid Capt. Loar. The strikers replied,
but there We're too many shots from the
repeating rifles. The air was alive with
bullets. How many shots were fired
will never be known, but when the
smoke cleared away and the man ven
tured near the dead it was found eight
men had fallen, one of whom is now
dying from the effects of bullet.
The surviving strikers fed with re-
markable rapidity. Soon physicians
and undertaker5 arrived and the bodies
were examined, and those wounded
were given all possible aid. The exact
number OF wounded cannot be given,
but DR.. Marsh said that at least fifteen
were disabled. The Huns were careful
enough to help those away who were
able to travel. No deputy or guard was
hurt in the least.

deputies opened fire upon them, killing
three and wounding twenty five. This
last attack has increased the excite
ment. The deputies are well armed
and can easily hold their ground.
