MT PLEASANT, Pa, April 8-This town
was shaken to its very center at S25
o'clock yesterday morning. At that hour
seven Hungarian rioters were shot dead
and twenty or more wounded by deputy
sheriffs. The greatest excitement pre-
walls. The stable in the rear of Under
taker Zimmermar's store was used for a
morgue and streets and alleys near IL
were crowded with anxious Huns and ma
tives. As fast as the bodies were recog-
nized friends took them. and the moaning
and wailing of the relatives was heart

Gathering of the Strikers.
At about 2:S0 o'clock yesterday morning
about 1000 men gathered around More
wood. The deputies were keeping sharp
lookout. Their orders were definite. No
one was to fire unless attacked, or when
an advancing enemy failed to halt at the
command. Finally, at almost 8 o'clock,
about 500 strikers arrived on the More
wood road from Standard. This isthought
to have been the last arrival. Each man
in the crowd of 1 900 or perhaps more was
armed. Some carried sticks, some fence
rails, some clubs that looked like small
battering rams AS the Standard men
and their allies drew up on the road lead
ing past the company's store, the other
forces on the hills gradually drew nearer
stationed, besides at the above named
places on the hill west of the works, called
old Fort Defiance, and Immediately in
front of the store
Dash for the Company Fence.
@Your reporter followed the Standard
crowd and halted on hill to the east of
the store. From there fair view could
be obtained. The moon, which had been
hiding behind a cloud, suddenly APP
peared and threw its rays across the scene
of the conflict The column advanced to-
ward the Norwood store The guards
were in charge of Deputy Sheriff McCon-
nell and Capt. Loar. The latter had been
sworn in as deputy, as were also some
twenty men from Company Z. They
were stationed at the west side of the
company's store. The deputies under
Mcconnell were at the east side As the
Huns advanced making but little noise,
the deputies remained silent. Then the
Huns passed, but they were bent on mis-
chief. The column had not all passed
when those in front made dash on the
company fence.
Huns Fire the First Shots.
Capt. Loar cried "Halt," but not Hun
stopped. Their answer was fusillade of
revolver shots. One bullet whizzed past
Capt. Loar's head, and two men standing
near him each felt the hot lead pass their
bodies. The deputy sheriffs then came to
the relief of the soldier deputies. The
Huns dashed down the road and broke
for the company's stables. Another CON-
mand to halt. Another answer to the call
by pistol shots The Infatuated men kept
their course toward the stables. The
command was given to fire and the depu-
ties came to aid Capt. Loar. The strikers
replied, but there were too many shots
from the repeating rifles. The air was
alive with bullets. How many shots
were fired will probably never be known.
When the Smoke Cleared Away.
When the smoke cleared away and the
men ventured near the dead it was found
that seven men had fallen, and one will
die from the effects of bullet. The sur
viving strikers fled with remarkable rap
idity Soon physicians and undertakers
arrived and the bodies were examined and
those wounded given all possible aid. The
exact number of wounded cannot be
given, but DIR. 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. These men did
nobly. It is not thought that they are to
blame, although prominent labor leaders
telegraphed to one of the national leaders
that "seven Hungarians were killed with.
