MINERS SHOT DOWN.
Deputy Sheriffs Fire into a Crowd
of 200 Hungarians.
4 Terrible Crisis Reached in the Strike
Situation at Hazelton. Pa--Estimat-
ed That go Were Killed and
About Forty Injured.

HAZLEToN, Pa, Sept. 1.-The Stri ke
situation reached a terrible crisis on
the outskirts of Latimer yesterday
afternoon, when a band of deputy
sheriffs fired into mob of Hungarian
miners. The men fell like sheep and
the excitement has since been so in
tense that no accurate figures of dead
and wounded can be obtained. Re-
ports run from Is to 30 odd killed and
40 or more wounded. One man who
reached the scene last night counted
13 corpses. Four other bodies lie in
the mountains between Latimer and
Harleigh. Those who We're not in jured
carried their dead and wounded friends
into the woods, and estimate is baff1ed-
The strikers left Hazleton about $50
o'clock this afternoon. and it was their
intention to go to Latimer. As soon as
this became known, band of deputies
was loaded on a trolley car and went
whirling across the mountain to the
scene where the bloody conflict fol-
lowed. After reaching Latimer, they
left the car and formed into three COM
panies. Sheriff Martin was in entire
command, and stood in the front of the
line until the strikers approached.
They were seen coming across the
ridge, and Martin went out to meet
them. The men drew up suddenly,
and listened in silence until he had
once more read the riot act. This fin
ished, a low muttering arose among
the foreigners, and there was slight
movement forward. Perceiving this,
the sheriff stepped toward them and,
in a determined tone, forbade 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 terrible volley. The
report seemed to shake the very mo an
tains, and a 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 before the storm
of bullets like tenpins and the groans
of the dying and wounded filled the
air. The excitement that followed
was simply indescribable. The depu-
ties seemed to be terror-stricken at the
deadly execution of their gums and,
seeing the living strikers fleeing like
wild, and others dropping to the earth.
they went to the aid of the unfor-
Inmates whom they had brought down.

NEWCASTLE, Col, Sept. 13.-Frank
Burbank, conductor, and Engineer
Ostrander, deceased, of the Colorado
Midland railway, are charged by the
coroner's jury with being responsible
for the frightful wreck which occurred
here Thursday night. The jury de-
cided from the evidence that the con-
ductor and engineer attempted to ar
rive at Newcastle siding upon the
time allotted by order of train dis

the ruins have convinced him that
from six to ten more met death in the
awful accident This materially re-
duces the original estimates.

day passed off without serious disturb

some disposition has been shown

MINERS REsUMING AROUND PITTSBURGH
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. ia large

yesterday and a still larger number
will be in working order to-day. At

Der of river diggers will also resume.
President Patrick Dolan yesterday met
the men of the Wheeling division at
Finleyville. He made a speech to l.
900 of them at the Hacket mine. He
did not commit himself to the men
as he had done to the operators to
the ten-day clause, but as a
suit they unanimousl agreed to
start work to-day. With the excep-
zion of the Anderson mine all of them
will be usy while the convention is
being held in Pittsburgh. Everything
is in an uproar there. The operators
are telegraphing for cars and they
want men-all they can get at 65 cents

that his mine will be working full to-
day The Keeling Coal Co.'S mine at
Kicks run was working yesterday and

REFUSED TO OBEY A JUDGE
Novel Point to the Power of Courts
Raised in Nebraska.


PENDER, Neb., Sept "A At a late
hour Saturday night jury caused a
scene in the district court by refusing
to return verdict which the court had
directed. 1t was in the case of the
county against ex-County Treasurer
Hollis bOndsmen to secure an alleged
shortage of $3.50 The case had been
previously reversed by the supreme
conrt and Judge Thomas ordered the
jury to find for the county. The jury
as a whole refused, declaring that it
was a matter of conscience in which
they could not permit the court to in
terfere- The court was inclined to
think the jury in contempt, but they
positively refused to sign the verdict
the court ordered the clerk to make
the record show that the verdict was
really returned by the jury. The de-
Tense will appeal and a novel point
will be tested in the supreme court.
The practice of a judge ordering juries
to bring in a verdict was never before
questioned in Nebraska and has be-
come very common.
