tween Baldomer Mendenez, editor of

challenge was sent the Vera Cruz
editor, which was promptly accepted.
A place just south of the city was Sc.

principals arrived here quietly and
proceeded at break OF day TO the
chosen spot.
Both men were armed with heavy
army pistols. They took their respec-
tive positions and exchanged hine
shots each, when the battle was stop

The editors had satisfied honor. The
men were very poor shots and the only
damage done was a slight flesh wound

SCRANTON, Pa, July 16-General
Master Workman Powderly has ad.
dressed n letter to President Harrison
and another to Governor Pattison call
ing attention to the fact that the laws
of the United States and Of Pennsyl-
vania have been violated by the inva.
sion of the Pinsertons on July G. In
his letter to the president, Mr.. Pow
derby sums mp that armed bodies, not
acting under the United States flag
and not acting under the Legal
authority of the state or any
county or municipality, had come
up the M~onongahela river and
opened fire upon the citizens Of
Homestead, killing n number of per.
sons. Mr.. ~Powderly says that who
ever usurped the functions of the com.
mander-in-chief Of the army of the
United States in ordering these men
to invade Pennsylvania is guilty of
tire son and should be punished ac-
cordingly and he therefore asks for an

Robert Pinkerton. who alone were re-
sponsible for bringing in armed men,
and he asked that the punishment

Powderly names is that as the armed
men came altogether from outside the
state, and as such could not hold
offices, they could not be sworn in rs
deputies.

some weeks past the infant victim OF

structed in a disused challi-pit. the
Tiers of seats being cut out Of the solid
rock and each labeled with it's appro-

self the only alteration was the omis-

greatly enjoyed.
