Iron, and she struck ono Of the Pinker-
ton men over sthe head with It. The
leaders of the strikers could not keep
the people away, from the gprisonesr,
Scenes that almost beggar description
were enacted all the way to the rink. 1t
was the general supposition that the
men would be given speedy trial and
convicted by Judge lynch jury.
While the men were being formed in
line for the march to the rink, a portion
of the strikers boarded the boats. They
ransacked everything, and secured 800
Winchesters. The men just took from
the boats what they thought was Of
value and then burned the barges. In
one boat was found everything in the
way of edibles. There was enough pro-
visions to last a regiment week 1t
did not take the barges long to burn
after they were fired.
There was little pity expressed for the
captured guards.
The workers finally landed their cap
tives in the large skating rink and opera
house, where they were kept under
heavy guard. The leaders then sent
word to Sheriff McOleary to come in
person and take charge of the Pinker-
tons.
Sheriff McCleary is on the scene, and
will take them to Pittsburg, when they
will be charged with murder.
Shortly after l2 o'clock this morn
ing it was rumored about Homestead
that the prisoners were to be taken to
Pittsburg on a special train brought up
by Sheriff McCleary.
ABOUT 1880 President Weihe of the
Amalgamated Association appeared in
the Opera House and ordered the hall
cleared of all outsiders.
Hugh O'Donnell of the Advisory
Committee, took charge and formed the
men in ranks.
A few minutes later the procession
started for the depot.
The wounded brought up the rear,
several being carried in chairs, and no
demonstration was made ON the way to
the station.
The trip down to Pittsburg was made
quietly.

train and removed to the West Penn
Hospital.
The train was then taken to the 2Sth
street station of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, another engine attached, and the
train pulled out eastward.
How far East they will be taken, or
their destination, is not at this time
made public.
