A Slav named Michael Paloski was the
cause OF the wholesale shooting of human
game. Early in the evening PaIoski 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
y. -
Moore, who had been attracted by the
shooting, quickly picked up his sister,
and Ryan gathered up the Foski 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,
Moore receiving part of the load in his
knee
The shooting attracted a large crowd,
and Paloski was Joined by two of his
cOuntrymen who We're 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 attracted 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

their windows and barricaded their doors.
The murderous Slavs, 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 revolvers 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
murderers We're found in a pond near by.
