the guards, but there IL no doubt that others
are either dead or in critical condition, as
the guards had orders to fire to kill, and

DANGEROUS EXCITEMENT.
Reports late tonight from all over the
region indicate a fearfully dangerous and
excited condition of affairs, and word that

MANY DEPUTIES ARRESTED.
A large number of deputies have already
been a. rested. and the labor leaders say
they will not rest until all are taken care
of. The officers had great deal Of trouble
in finding a justice OF the peace who was
willing to issue warrants for the arrest Of
the deputies Master Workman Petor W.

concerned In the shooting at the Morewood
plant.
INTENSE EXCITEMENT.
MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, April 2.-The
Slavs and Huns are wild. All over the
region the most intense excitement pre-
walls. Great crowds are coming in on
every train. and the highways
are 80 thickly peopled as TO
almost resemble a passing procession.
1t was openly declared by the strikers this
afternoon that they would have revenge
for the killing Of their companions. They
have for the time being transferred their
attention from the plants TO the deputies,
whom they VOW they will kill. They say,
at the same time, that the works will surely
be raZed. Word has been passed to the
strikers all over the region that the shooting
was without provocation; chat no violence
had been offered; and their anathemas on
hearing these reports are deep and strong.
LABOR LEADERS ON THE GRouYD.
Peter Wise, master workman Of the dis
trict; James McBridge. secretary, and w.
=. Penna, vice president OF the United
Mine Workers of America, came here this
morning and visited the scene Of the shoot
ing and held a conference with several OF
the men. 1t is said that they are securing
the names of the deputies, and thai
warrants for the arrest of all Of
them, including Capt. Lauer, who was
in command, will be sworn out,
The latter claims that he ordered the mob tc
halt three times. and that he was answered
with three shots. After another command
TO halt the guards we're ordered to fire, and
the deadly volley was poured into the
crowd. The fire was returned hotly, but
the aim was poor.
REINFoRCEMENTs ON THE HILL.
From the hills the friends of the mob
down on the road could do nothing. They
could not shoot, not knowing the position
OF the combatants, and were compelled
therefore TO wait word Of the result of the
fusillade. They could not have reached the
ground in time to reinforce them to any
purpose for a circuit Of the works and
building on either side Of the road wal
necessary. IL was in this way that they
were enforced witnesses of the terrible
scenes in the valley below.
ALL OVER IN THREE MINUTES.
The firing did not continue more than five
minutes When the strikers saw le execu

knew that many Of their own number hac
