ANOTHER RIOT
The Pent Up Feeling

Fifty Shots Fired I'm a
Mob of Strikers.
Nobody is Reported to
Have Been Killed.
A Quarrel Between Union
and NOn-Union Men.

HOMESTEAD, Pa. Nov. l3.-The per-
iod of comparative quletness which has
prevailed IN Homestead since the mlli-
TIA left died out today. and the pent up
feelings of the strikers broke out xfresn
IN not in which st least fifty shots
were fired, but mirscnlously no person
was killed, though a score were nat
by flying bullets. A party OF seven
non-union colored men were en-
their way TO their boarding houses
about 4:45 O'Clock thIs afternoon, when
a man, supposed TO be a striker, at
tackled two of the negroes, Charles
Carroll and Fred Lewis. Lewis WAS
knocked down. This was q signal for
large crowd 10 gather st the scene OF
the trouble. Lewis companion came
10 his rescue and a terri ble rot took
place between the colored men on one
side and the crowd. supposed TO be all
strikers, on the other.
The Two sides fought desperately and
fired their reyolvers and slnshed each
other with knives at close quarters for
several minutes, when the negroes
made dash through the crowd for
their boarding house. They were fol-
lowed by the hootng, blood -thirsty
crowd, which by this time numbered
at least two thousand men, including
many women and children.
The crowd fired and threw
stones at the fleeing negroes and
they in turn returned the fire on the
crowd. How so many escaped instant
death is a miracle. At least two dozen
people were injured by flying missiles,
but ss far as can be learned none were
killed. The seven negroes and . num-
ber of strikers have been arrested. Tho
greatest excitement prevails here to-
night and more deputies have been
asked for

tend the annual meeting Of the order

MIR. Loucks said that the coming meet

fact that the last annual meeting at

charge of heresy, will begin tomorrow
morning. DR.. Smith has refused to

Gus defense. He will claim that by
holding that there il inerrancy in the
scriptures he has not violated the con-
fesslon of faith of the church, nor has
he violated his obligation as n minister
of the gospel. He will insist that
ne believes that the Bible Is the
word OF God, and the infsllible rule of
faith and practice. but that such belief
does not essentially demand that every
word of the Bible Is literally true ana
inspired. DIR. Smith will not retrsct
anything that be has said In his
