One of the most ridiculous situations
which at the time bring the coldest

after remain with him rs "a constant
sct-ce OF mirth occurred to Shelton
merchant. He thought he would take

denly the top hocp of the tub burst with
"a sharp report, and the man saw to his
! horror that the whole contents of the
tub would soon be flooding the floor. At

AN LAWFUL TRAGEDY

An awful tragedy was enacted near
HaZ,eton, Pa last Friday, when sew
eral thousand striking, coal miners
started on q march to place named
Lattlmer, where they expected TO
force 1900 miners TO quit work and
join them IN marching from mine 70
mine, forcing every miner TO quit
work. The road and highways are
made and kept up at public expense
for people to travel acd march over.
but they are not kept up for a lot of
men to march over from place to
place to drive men from their work
aud force them to join the marching,
iawisss mob. Il was q mob, pure
and simple that did not understand d
their own rights and the rights of
other people. Sheriff Martin, who
before his election to the Office of
sheriff was mine boss, had for Il pc
Rod of four days previous urged Ger
tain of the strike leaders TO cease
their agitation to march from place
to place and force men to quit work,
but all IN vain. So when he beard
OF the march on Lattimer, he has lily
collected seventy-two deputies and
armed them with Winchester rifles,
and by short cut across the cou1-
try, placed his men across the road, s.
short distance out of L,ttimer. When
the rioters came the sheriff read the
law to them and ordered them to re-
frain from marching further, and or
dered them to return to their homes
in a peaceable manner. He was push
ed aside and knocked down and the
rioters attempted TO force the way.
The sheriff ordered the deputies TO
fire. They fired twice and no more
effective firing was ever done. Six
ty-ope men fell. Twenty-one were
killed and forty were wounded. 1t
is scarcely necessary to say the mob
scattered. 1t was an awful tragedy
and to attempt to describe the dis
tressing phase of the deplorable &C
currence, would only intensity the
feeling and astonishment at the state
OF society in tie Hszleton region that
requires such a drastic remedy to pre-
serve order and make men safe in the
possession of life and property, and
make them safe from insult and in
timidation while in the exercise of
their every day work. The mo5
