have left the mountain range probably
forever.
The people of the town of HaZelton
are up in arms on account of what is
generally termed the brutal butchery" |
by Sheriff Martin and his 20 deputies.
The town is practically under martial |
law tonight. Brig. Gen. Goblin, COM \
handing the Sd brigade, n. G.. p. is in |
command of the town. at the head of a |
Well-drilled and well-supplied army of
2700 men.
Soldiers are to be seen everywhere.
The outskirts of the city are guarded
by the military. Five large military
camps have been established Com
panies are marching hitherand thither.
Drums are being beaten. and alto
gether it looks as though a dangerous
enemy was expected to swoop down
upon the city at any moment. But the
soldiers have not been called upon to
10 anything. They wonder why they
we're called here. There appears to be
nothing for them to do.
That the shooting and killing of the
Il strikers was nothing less than
,utchery is made apparent by the fact
hat nearly every one Of the kelled was
shot in the back Out of the II bodies
Examined at the morgue in this city
.oday, but one young man of 90 was .
shot in front. He had not less than {
Xix bullets in his forehead and face.
Every other body bears bullet marks I
n the back. Men who have searched
he bodies of the dead and who have
Xamlned the clothing of the wounded !
II the hospitals says that all they
ound was one small revolver. This !
vas loaded, showing that it had not
'een fired. But few of the men carried
hubs or sticks or other dangerous
Weapons with which they could defend ,
Another fact pointed out by the peo-
lie is that the attack was made on the
ublic highway. The best that can be
aid by the sheriff's people is that they
ost their heads and that they believed
hat the strikers would overpower |
hem or were bent on murder But the !
trikers appear to be an orderly crowd
hey have seen their brothers and rel
tives and their friends slain. and not :
single hand have they rised to aver
sc the death of their beloved ones.
