FELL LIKE TEN-PINS.
Awful Execution Done by q Dep
uties' Volley.
Scores of strikers Bite the Dust-A scene
of VIE Terror aud Confusion-The
Deputies. Horror-strickeD at the
Result, Aid the Fallen.

HAzELroS. Pa, Sept. 10. strike
situation reached a terrible crisis on
the outskirts of Latimer this afternoon
when a band of deputy sheriffs fired
into an Infatuated mob OF miners. The
men fell like SO many ten-pins. IA the
excitement since has been 81 intense
that no accurate figures of the dead
and wounded can be obtained.
Report runs from IL TO 20 odd killed.
and 40 or more wounded. One man
who reached the scene tonight counted
IL corpses. Four other bodies lie in
the mountains between Latimer and
Harleigh. Those who were not injured
carried their dead and wounded friends
into the woods, and estimate is baf-
fed.
The strikers left Hazleton at $3.50
o'clock this afternoon, announcing
their intention to go To Latimer. As
soon AS this became known IA band of
deputies was loaded on a trolley car
and went whirling across the noun
tain to the scene, where the bloody
assault followed.
After reaching Latimer they left the
car and formed into three companies
Samuel Il. Price. They drew up in
line at the edge of the village, with a
fence and a line of houses in the rear.
Sheriff Martin was in entire com
...,l o,I etAAl -, front af the line nm
til the strikers approached. They
were seen coming across the ridge, and
Martin went out To meet them.
The men drew up sullenly and lis
tened in silence until he had once
more read the riot act. This finished,
a low muttering arose among the for
eigners. and there was a slight move
ment forward. Perceiving this, the
sheriff stepped toward them and in a
determined tone forbade them to adj
vance. Some one struck the sheriff,
and the next moment there was "a COM
mand to the deputies to fire.
The guns of the deputies instantly
belched forth a terrible volley. The
report seemed to shake the very noun
tains, and u cry of dismay went up
from the people. The strikers were
taken entirely by surprise, and as
the men toppled and fell over each
other those who remained unhurt
stampeded. The men went down be-
fore the storm of bullets like ten-pins,
and the groans of the dying and
wounded filled the air.
The excitement hat followed was
simply indescribable. Deputies seemed
. to be terror-stricken at the deadly exc
cution of their guns, and seeing the
living strikers fleeing like wild men
and others dropping to the earth, they
went to the aid of the unfortunate
whom they had brought down.

DISTRESS AND DISASTER
The Beginning of What Promises to bet
Tragic Chapter at Dawson city.


SAN Francisco. Sept 1.-THE Ex-
aminer prints the following:
OTTER POINT, Il. c., Sept 1.-THE
steamer Cleveland has arrived from st.
Michaels, bringing with her from the
Yukon gold fields n story of distress
and disaster.
The miners she has on board and Of
ficers in charge of the ship tell the
story OF disaster and distress at Daw.
SON.. The winter has set in at the min
ing city of the frozen north, and the
stores have closed their doors. for they
nave nothing to sell. Those who have
been seeking gold now must seek for
food or starve.
While there may be a tendency to
exaggerate the actual conditions OF
affairs. there can be no question that
famine threatens the adventurous
men and women who made their way
to the Klondike.
Hundreds of unruly spirits are flock
ing to Dawson. Threats of violence
are being made on every side. lndig-
nation meetings. heavy with muir
INJURED threats of vengeance. are held
at st. Michaels by those who see little
hope of advancing up the river and
less of getting back To civilization.
The first signs OF the winter are
apparent on the river Yukon, which
is beginning to freeze, and in a few
weeks will be closed.
Enormous prices are now being paid
for food at Dawson, and it is impos
sible that more than four vessels with
provisions can arrive before the river
is a mass of ice.
