A Slav named Michael Paloski was the
cause of the wholesale shooting of human
game. Early in the evening Paloski be-
came intoxicated, and going to the saloon
of John Moore started a quarrel. He
was ordered from the saloon and became
enraged at this kind of treatment, and he
started for his home to procure a shot
gun. He got the gun and on his way
back to the saloon he encountered Dan
Ryan, who was sitting on his porch, to-
gether with Lizzie Foski and Maggie
! Moore. Ryan advised Paloski to go
home, but the latter, who was in a terri
| bic rage, raised the gun and fired. The
two girls received most of the shots and
fell to the porch, shrieking with pain and
blood squirting from their wounds. John
Moore, who had been attracted by the
shooting, quickly picked up his sister,
and ltyan gathered up the E'Oski girl in
his aims and both made a rush for the
door TO escape the enraged Slav. Before
the men were able to get inside of the
door the drunken tiend emptied the con-
tents of the second barrel into the girls,

and Paloski was joined by two of his
cCuntrymen who were also supplied with
guns. John Jenkins attempted to arrest
Paloski, when he received a load OF shot
in his stomach. The crowd then rushed
upon the Slavs and attempted to disarm
them but the three men escaped into their
| boarding house and barricaded the door.
The three men thrust their heads through
! a window and threatened to kill the first
person who attempted to enter the house.
The crowd began to fall back, and as
they did so one of the three men fired,
but the shot did not take effect.
People living on the opposite side Of
the street were attra cted by the shooting
and had their heads out of windows.
One of these was George Sivoski. One
of the Saws, seeing the head of the boy,
took deliberate aim and fired, the full
charge striking the unfortunate boy on
the left side of the head, tearing half Of
his head and face away. The boy fell
dead. The other stricken neighbors closed
their windows and barrlcaded their doors.
The murderous Slays, finding no human
| beings to shoot at, turned their guns on
lighted windows. posts and trees and any
thing their fancy suggested.
After all had become quiet several men
armed with shotguns and reyolvers went
to the house to arrest the murderers.
The door OF the house was found open,
and the men. were nowhere to be found.
They had deserted the house. Two men
were arrested at Kingston this morning
| accused of having been connected with
the shooting Two guns carried by the
murtierers were found in a pond near by.
