Close by his side was another Hungarian
workman who bent over to assist his
fallen comrade. AS he was in the act OF
raising him the second workman dropped

both would probably die. Five more
strikers are known to be desperately
wounded. They were spirited away by
their friends and their names are not yet
known. The shots of the strikers and
their friends were also well aimed and five
of the Pinkerton men are reported TO have
been dangerously wounded. The Pinker-
ton men made no attempt to land until
some time after the battle.
AT o'clock all was quiet and the de-
tectiyes had not yet succeeded In making

1t was precipitated by the detectives
making another attempt to land. In the
second engagement Engineer Henry
Steragal was killed and others were
wounded.

essary TO prevent the destruction OF the
other barges by the workmen.
The widest excitement prevails in the
town. Many people are hastening away
and others are crowding in from ad-
jacent places. The strikers are being re-
inforced, and unless the detectives are
withdrawn another bloody fight is looked
for every minute.
Sheriff McCleary has wired Gov. Patti
son that he is unable to cope with the
Homestead mob. The situation, he says,
is very grave, there being 5,OOO strikers on
the ground, and unless something is done
promptly there will be great loss of life.
