, svmpathizing and half-crazed inhabi-
tants.
A reporter who soon afterward
reached the scene found the road lead
ing to Lattimer filled with groups OF
frightened Hungarians. Some sur
rounded dying companions and others,
fearful of pursuit, chung to the new
conner and begged protection.
At Farley's hotel there were two
men lying on the porch. Both had
been shot in the head, and one had
three bullets in him. His groans and
appeals for doctor or death were
heartrending.
All along the road the wounded men
who were able to leave the field of
battle.scattered themselves and sought
the shade of the trees for protection,
but there was no need of that then.
Approaching the place where the
shooting occurred, people were met
wringing their hands and bemoaning
the catastrophe. They could not talk
intelligently and it was with the
greatest difficulty that information
could be cleaned.
Along the embankment of the troll
ley road men lay in every position,
some dead, some dying.
Three bodies, face downward, lay
along the incline, and three others
were but a short distance away. On
the other side Of the road as many
more bodies lay. The school house
was transformed into temporary hos
pital, and some of the wounded were
taken there. The colliery ambulance
was summoned to the place as soon as
possible and Immediately upon its ar
rival two men, both shot through the
legs, were loaded into the wagon. All
along the hillside wounded men were
found on the green, on the roadside
and in the fields. Many others who
had been carried to a distance could
not be found.
AS soon as the news Of the shooting
reached Hazleton there was conster-
nation. Within ten minutes the streets
were blocked with excited people. The
Lehigh Traction Company Immediate
ly placed a number of extra cars on
the Lattimer line, and the doctors and
clergymen responded promptly.
The rush of the people to Lattimer
was so great that vehicles along the
road were impeded
Amid the excitement, the deputies
turned their attention to the wounded
and carried many of them to places
where they could be more comfortably
treated.
Martin Roski, an intelligent Hun
garian from Mount Pleasant, who was
shot in the arm, was seen by re-
porter on the car coming over, and
gave this version of the affair:
I'VE were going along the road to
Lattimer and the deputies were lined
across the road barring our progress.
We tried to so through them and did
not attempt to hit or modest them,
when they fired upon us. We ran, but
they kept on shooting at us while we
ran. 1t is all their fault"
Citizens meetings were held in
various parts of the city tonight.
Opinion was divided about the respon-'
sibility for the shooting At one meet
ing held in Van Wick's Casino, attend
ed by bankers, coal operators and
prominent business men. resolutions
were adopted calling on Governor Has
tings to send the militia here imme-
diately.
AT other meetings attended by thou
sands of people. the sentiment was
against bringing the troops here, and
it is asserted by these that there was
no necessity for having the deputies
here.

go back. The strikers answered that they
were not doing any harm and began to
brush by Martin. Immediately a volley
was fired and when the smoke cleared
away eleven dead and thirty-eight wound
ed were stretched on the ground and the
remaining miners began to scatter to all
points for shelter.
In the meantime women living in the
vicinity began to care for the wounded
and many of the miners began to carry
some of the wounded away from the
scene. Within thirty minutes a troIly car
carrying a number of doctors arrived
from Hazleton and the wounded were
placed on board and taken TO that city.

Sheriff Martin arrived home on the Z

He was cool and collected. He was
met at the depot by his legal adviser.
The two got into cab and drove to
the court house, where they we're
closeted together for some time
At first the sheriff refused to say
anything, but finally consented. The
sheriff was at first reluctant to say
whether he had given the command to
fire, but afterwards admitted that he
had. The sheriff's statement is as fol-
lows:
Il heard early this morning that the
strikers were going TO march to the
breaker at Lattimer and compel the
men there to quit work. / resolved to
intercept them and if possible prevent
them from reaching the breaker.

Hazleton, Pa, September 10.-The
strike situation reached a terrible
crisis on the outskirts of Lattilner this
afternoon, when a band of deputy
sheriffs fired into an infuriated mob
of miners.
The men fell like sheep and the
excitement since has been so intense
that no accurate figures Of the dead
and wounded can be obtained.
Reports run from Is to 20 odd killed,
and forty or more wounded.
Many of these will die.
One man, who reached the scene to-
hight, counted thirteen corpses.
Four other dead lie in the noun
tains between Lattimer and Harleigh.
Those who were not injured carried
their dead and wounded friends into
the woods, and efforts to make an
estimate is baf1ed. Some of those
KNOWN TO BE DEAD ARE:
MIKE CHESLOLL, Harwood.
FRANK CHECKA, Harwood
JOHN STANISLAU, Crystal Ridge.
GEORGE KULICK, Harwood.
STEVE HORICK, Harwood
THREE BODIES, unidentified.

The strikers left Hazleton at 1856
this morning, announcing their inten-
ton to go to Lattibler AS soon as
this became known band of deputies
was loaded on trolley car and went
whirling across the mountain to the
scene where the bloody conflict fol-
lowed.
After reaching Lattimer they left the
car and formed into three companies.
under Thomas Hall, E. A. Hess and
Sam B. Pierce.
They drew up in line at the edge of
the village with a fence and line of
houses in their rear.
Sheriff Martin was in entire com.
mand and stood in the front of the
line until the strikers approached.
They were seen coming across the
ridge and Martin went cut to meet
them.
The men drew up sullenly and lis
tended in silence until he had once
more read the riot act This finished.
q lew muttering arose among the for
eigners and there was a slight move
ment forward.
~Perceiving this, the sheriff stepped
toward them, and in determined tone
forbade the advance.
Some one struck the sheriff. and the
next moment there was a command to
the deputies to fire
The guns OF the deputies instantly
be,ched forth terrible volley. The
report seemed to shake the very noun
tains and aear of dismay went up
from the strikers.
The strikers were taken entirely by
surprise. and as the men toppled and
fell over each other, those who re-
manned unhurt stampeded.
The men went down before the
storm of bullets like ten pins. and
the groans OF the dying and of the
wounded filled the air. The excite
ment that followed was simply indie
scribable.
The deputies seemed to be terror
stricken at the deadly execution of
thetr gu2s and seeing the living strik-

A most interesting topic for the present is
what styles are likely 10 prevail during the

on the Russian blouse style; the droop d: the
belt runs all round; the sleeves express the
latest trend OF fashion ard the decoration is
simple but effective. IN the Illustration will
