McLuckie Could Not Be Found.
The following telegram was received
from Youngstown last evening:
Recently there arrived here stranger
who represented that he was erecting roll
ing mill machinery at Struthers. He
boarded at frst-class hotel, and his story
was believed until certain suspicious cir
cumstances started an investigation that
discovered him to be a Pittsburg detective,
laying for Burgess McLuckie.
In order to prevent his mission here be-
ing known, the detective, who gave his
name as Summers in the transaction, went
before country Justice of the Peace and
swore out a warrant on which to arrest
McLuckie when the opportunity offered.
The detective is still here, but he has OBJ
tanned no clue to McLuckie's whereabouts,
and the exile" is enjoying himself until
his case is set for trial at Pittsburg.
At the mill last night it was stated that
B. V. Hillman, John Schultz, Charles At
wood, Michael Havican, William Nc
Broom, LLOYD Shelton and five Slavs went
to work and Samuel Woods applied.
The Locked-Out Mems Side.
Members of the Advisory Committee say
that Atwood, Woods and Shelton are yet
out; that while Atwood went to the mill
in the morning he has not returned to work.
That seemed to be the condition of affairs
yesterday. The desertion of Schultz is con-
ceded to be severe blow to the strikers.
Personally, he was one of the most popular
men in Homestead.
Giuseppe Ancola, an Italian who works
in the mill, was assaulted on Dickson street
He was struck in the breast and head and
knocked unconscious. He was rescued by
Deputy Sheriff Bowman, who took him to
the mill where his wounds were dressed
Ancola had an armful of bread when at
tackled, and that was scattered over the
thoroughfare. His scalp was cut, and he
was bleeding from the ears and nose when
picked up. His assailants escaped.
Final meetings, both Democratic and
Republican, were held last night, and at
both it was stated that the borough would
be carried.
