DEATH OF GENERAL ALBERT PIKE,
LABOR RIOTERS SHOT,

Eleven Killed and Many Injured al Mt. Pleasant, Pa.-Raid of a Moh of 500 Men on tho Standard Works Routed After. the Second volley from the Deputy Sheriffs.
 MT. PLEASANT, Pa., April 2.-At about 2:45 o'block this morning a mob of five hundred men began rioting at the Standard works. They destroyed some of the company's property and then pro- ceeded to cut the telephone and telegraph lines of the coke company so that no warnings could be sent to the people at Mol ewood. About o'clock a party of rioters between 400 and 800 strong marched to Morewood.
 In the meantime the company's en- ployes at the Standard works hurriedly re- paired the telephone lines and sent word tack the works in three places, and had a we'll laid plan to destroy the whole plant. The deputy sheriffs were soon in readiness to receive the attack. The men were di- vided into three parties, Captain Lauer having charge of the party that was placed behind the big gates of the barn and stable enclosure.
 AS the rioters passed the companys store they made an attack on it and raided it as far as they could in the brief time, breaking the windows and doing other damage. Then they marched to the barn enclosure and attempted to break down the gates. They succeeded in doing this and as they entered Captain Lauer called on them to halt or he would fire upon them.
 Their answer was to fire volley in the direction of the deputies, none of whom were seriously injured. Captain Lauer then gave the order to fire. Two volleys were fredbefore the mob broke and ran. Seven men fell dead in the public road and a number was found wounded. The rioters then broke up into small groups and made their escape in various directions.
 The Slavs and Huns are wild. Their gestures, fiery eyes and quickened language surely indicate their anger. All over the region the most intense excitement pre- vails. Great crowds are coming in on every train, and the highways are so thickly peopled as to almost resemble a passing procession. It was openly de- clared by the strikers this afternoon that they will have revenge for their con- panions. 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 raised Word has been passed to the strikers all over the region that the shoot ing was without provocation; that no vio- fence had been offered and their anathe- mas on hearing these reports are deep and strong. Peter Wise, master workman of the district; James Mcbride, secretary and w. P. Penna, vice president of the United Mine Workers of America, came here to- day and visited the scene of the shooting and held conferences with several of the men. It is said that they are securing the names of the deputies and that warrants for the arrest of all of them, including Captain Lear, who was in command, will be sworn out.
 The latter claims that he ordered the mob to halt three times and that he was answered with three shots. After another command to halt the guards were ordered to fire and deadly volley was poured in- to the crowd. The fire was returned hot ly, but the aim was poor.
 The stable where the bodies are lying has been surrounded all day with strikers and friends. Persons who understand their language say their threats were fear full. They swear to be avenged. The re- port that second attack took place in which four more were killed is pronounced untrue, but another raid is expected at any time Squire McCabb issued warrants charging the deputies with murder, and the warrants were served this afternoon General Manager Lynch of the Prick com pany and Superintendent Ramsay of the Morewood plant are made accessories be- fore the fact. The deputies were arrested and gave bail at once. Among those most seriously wounded are: Albert Brosek Casper Seman, Josef Schultz, Albert Gid
