eompany's property inc then cut the
telephone and telegraph lines II tho
coke company. ~ that no warnings
could be sent % Moorcwood About 3
o'clock a party Of rioters, between 400
and 800 strong, marched b Moorcwood
In the meantime the compauy's en-
ployes at the Standard works hurriedly
repaired the telephone lines and cent
word 20 Moorewood that thu strikers
would attack the works In three places
and had a well laid plan TO destroy tho
whole plant
The deputy shcriffs were soon In
readiness 20 receive the attack. The
men were divided into three parties,
Capt Lauer having charge of the party
which was placed behind the big gates
Of the barn and stable inclosure. As
the rioters passed the company's store,
they made an attack upon Il and raided
IL as FAR as they could in a brief time,
breaking the windows and doing other
damage. They then marched % the
barn inclosure and attempted to break
down the gates. They succeeded In
doing this and as they entered Capt.
Lauer called out 10 them 10 halt or he
would fire upon them. Their answer
was TO fire a rafting volley in the d.
rection Of the deputies. None OF the
deputies were seriously hurt Capt
Lauer then gave the order 10 fire. Two
volleys were fired before the mob broke
and ran. Seven men fell dead in the
public road and fifteen were found
wounded. The rioters then broke up
into small groups and made their es-
cape Ia various directions.
Those killed were:
Paul Dohannis, slav, of Standard
works; unmarried.
Valentine Zeidel, Slav, Of Donnelly;
unmarried.
james Brochley, Pole, of Tarrs; un-
married.

Fifteen are wounded, but their names
have not yet beer obtained. They are
foreigners. None Of the dead We're nat
uralizcd.
The dead men were carried into the
company's store at Moorewood. The
strikers reassembled and demanded the
bodies OF the victims, but were refused
and the place was surrounded by an
armed mob Of over 1000 men. who said
they would burn everything on the
premises unless the dead bodies were
given up.
During the night the strikers were
preparing for the raid. Deputations
headed 10y drum corps marched to and
fro TO places of rendezvous. An oc-
c%asional shot in the distance was nc.
ceptcd rs a mysterious signal. Now
and then n rocket flashed into the air.
and from an adjoining hill top a
swinging light could be seen. The
guards did not know what these signals
meant They were accepted as evil
dcnces of danger, however, and the peo-
pie at and about the various works did
not retire during the night. 1t is said
that the miners were prepared TO blow
up the mine ut Moorewood
Mr.. II. 5. Frick, the owner of the
Moorewood plant. was seen at his office
in Pittsburgh, and in an interview said:
1--WE placed our men and property in
the hands of the lawful authorities for
protection. The sheriff in the Moore
wood case has done his duty: the gov
crnor is doing his. This is no quarrel
about wages. but only whether our men
ut work are to be shot down ut mid
night and our property destroyed by
rioters. The authorities must settle
this, and we will know whether mob or
law is TO rule"
Labor officers deny the men ut Moore
wood were killed for good causes and
warrants have been issued for the dep
uties on the charge of murder, with
General Manager Lynch, of the Frick
company, and superintendent Ramsey,
of the Moorewood plant, charged as ac-
cessories before the fact.
A large mum Der of the deputies have
already been arrested and labor leaders
say they will not rest until all are taken
care of.
