aged IT; and Thomas McAllister, aged %.
Each of them received at least two
wounds, but none were dangerous. Nc
Allister suffered the most. He carries
eight wounds. At first it was thought that
he was fatally injured, but when visited
last night he talked cheerfully and was
suffering nj pain.
The man who did the shooting is named
Frank Msndel. He is better known as big
Frank" and is employed as Waterman at the
"~strippings'' by Contractor Rickert. The
shooting was done with double barreled
shot guns loaded with small pieces of lead.
Sadusky, the boy, was shot in the left
leg, near the knee, and his scalp was grazed
by one of the bullets. When asked about
the shooting he said he and other boys
were in the bushes near the t%rotting park
picking flowers. Near by was a gang of
young fellows gathered about a keg Of
beer. A quarrel arose over a dog and
while it was going on an Italian from one
of the neighboring shanties tried to steal
the keg. The young fellows attempted to
stop him and a fight ensued. Then big
Frank appeared with shot gun and fred

Ringheiser was found in bed at his home.
His wounds are four in number, one in the
left leg above the knee, two below the
knee, and a flesh wound on the left wrist.
When asked for his version he said, We

Then there was a fight"
McAllister was found OIL a sofa at his
fathers home on Chestnut street. He has
four wounds in the left leg above the knee,
one near the right ankle. One bullet passed
between the index and second finger of
the left hand and inflicted two flesh wounds,
and another bullet entered the left side of
the face just below the cheek bone. This
bullet is so located that probing for it
would be dangerous.
Madden had the back of his head grazed
by a bullet and received a flesh wound
under the left eye.
McAllister and Madden say that the
gun used mus. have been loaded with a
number of small pieces of lead and they
scattered when fred, as all the wounds
were inflicted by two discharges. They
say hat other Italians dischared revolvers
directly at them, but they were loaded
with blank cartridges. This brings the
shooting down to one man, big Frank"
McAlister, Ringheiser and Sedusky
were carried to town by young men who
escaped the shots.
Upon their arrival in town Squire Mon
Afghan prepared warrants for the arrest of
the Italians and handed them to Constable
Toomey, who went out TO the shanties ac-
c%ompanied by the paid police and several
specials. They rsided the shanties and
placed under arrest fourteen Italians, but
failed to find .'Big Frank" who had dis
appeared over the mountains in the direc-
ton of F~rackville, and the police con-
cluded that he went to Poltsville to seek
the aid of Contractor Rickert. The men
arrested we're brought to town and placed
in the lookup for the night.
The wife of big Frank a negress, at
tempted to use a large knife when Police
mar MeGrail arrested one of the Italians,
and the officer was obliged to draw his re-
volver to keep her at a distance,
The keg of beer which caused the
trouble was found in one of the shanties.
Contractor Rickert arrived in town to-
day and it is believed that some range
ment will be made by which big Frank
will be surrendered.
At noon to-day Squire Monaghan gave
the Italians a hearing. Sadusky and Ring.
heiser were carried to the office in chairs.
MeAllister was unable to attend.
Sadusky and Madden identified three Of
the men under arrest as being in the crowd
that did the firing.
The three men identified stoutly denied
that they did the shooting and asserted
that big Frank and Frank Zero, who
are still missing, were the guilty parties.
Madden's version of the affair, as given
to the Squire is this; The Italians stole
the keg of beer from the young fellows,
who gave chase, but were driven back by
