Wolcott Station.
At 1880 today Mrs. Olstrom, who was

wooden bridge by which the line of
rails crosses a gulch was on fire. The

1t was stopped few feet from the
burning bridge, which was so weak
,ned by the flames that it would not
have carried the train across the gulch.

Fatal shooting AFFRAY
Constable Wolf Is Very Handy with
Gun.
HE PEPPERS THE hUNGARIANS
In Their Anxiety to Make an Arrest Con.
stables Judge and Wolf Get Into
Serious Trouble Judge
Committed to Jail.


Special to the Scranton Tribune
Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Sept. IA shoot
ing aifray which will probably cost the
lives of two men took place at Ed
wardsvile this morning. the men who
did the shooting being two constables,
Bruce Wolf and Michael Judge. Judge
is an old constable, but Wolf has only
been appointed four days,bu in that
time has made fifteen arrests.
Saturday was pay day at the Ed
wardsville mines, and in the evening
a crowd of Huns who board with John
Bywaris got together, and before they
broke up they Were intoxicated.
About O'Clock in the morning the
two conStables, Judge and Wolf, were
coming down Main street, and saw the
crowd in front of Bywaris' boarding
house. They were somewhat under the
influence Of liquor, but according to
the testimony of the neighbors, were
not raising any disturbance.
Judge and Wolf thought they We're
too noisy and attempted to arrest the
whole crowd. The Huns protested that
they We're doing nothing Illegal and re-
fused to accompany the officers to Jail.
An alteration cnsued and Wolf, draw
ing his revolver, which was six
shooter, emptied its entire contents into
the crowd.
The Bullets Took Effect.
Four of the bullets took effect. Two
struck Mike DakyZses, a young man q
years of age. one in the chin and one
in the neck, inilicting wounds that will
probably prove fatal. Two others
pierced the body of John Bywaris, the
boarding boss, a man 40 years of age,
one entering just over the heart and
the other in the leg, He, to5 will prob
ably die.
The Huns, enraged at the unprovoked
shooting. started for the constables,
both of whom fled. Judge went to his
home in Kingston and Wolf followed
him down the main street. When near
the Kingston line, Wolf met Chief of
Police John Thomas. of Kingston, who
had been attracted by the noise of the
shooting and came ITO ascertain the
cause. Wolf tried to borrow Chief
Thomas revolver, but Mr.. Thomas,
who thought the constable was half
drunk. refused to loan it to him. Wolf
then fled and up to tonight nothing has
been heard of him.
Judge was arrested tonight and COM
mitted to Jail for hearing tomorrow.
Wolf has evidently left town, for, al
though the constables searched for him
all day with a warrant for his arrest. he
could not be found. There is great in
dignation at Edwardsville over the
shooting, which, from the testimony of
those present, seems to have been en-
tirely unprovoked.
The Hungarians, 1t is said, when ac-
costed by the constabes. offered to GO
home. but refused TO go to jail, as they
held that they had been doing nothing
wrong.
