wounded, and about 80 more are being
seereted by their friends who fear that
they VIII be sent to Jail Twelve Of the
ringleaders were brought before JUS

ers, and how many the other physi-
clans cared for is not known. Three
other men have been reported dead
but this cannot be verified as yet on
account of the uncommunicative nature
of the participants.
The story Of the riot is as follows.
Several hundred Polanders board at
William Culacabbage's hotel on Sec
ond street. Joseph Cavendish Is pro
prietor of a hotel at the east end of
town, where several hundred more Po-
landers make their headquarters. Bad
blood has always existed between
them, and the recent strike troubles at
Hazleton lmbittered them still more.

brating pay day The Cavendish men
ascertained that their foes We're march
ing on them and arrning themselves
hurrledly, awaited their arrival After
a demonstrative march the Culacab-
bage contingent arrived and immedi-
ately stormed the saloon.
Then a bloody battle ensued The
men fought like demons. The shoot
ing was fast and furious. Axes. knives,
clubs and other weapons were used
with deadly effect. The battle lasted
almost an hour, when the Culacabbage
gang was routed, leaving their wound
ed behind.
Everything in the house was smash
ed, and the floors were strewn with
wounded men. The walls were bespat-
tered with blood and shreds of human
flesh
After the routed rioters had returned
to their headquarters, the Cavendish
men armed themselves to the teeth and
marched to their enemies rendezvous,
where a battle still bloodier than the
first ensued. The police force and the
constables of the surrounding region
were called to the scene but We're una

continued hostilities for severalahours
The residences of many citizens were
damaged, and several outsiders were
wounded
