BLOODY MASSACRE.
CowardIy Sheriff Kills Defenseless Miner
In Cold Blood.

CowardIy Sheriff Kills Defenseless Miners
In Cold Blood.
There was at Haselton, Pa, last
Wednesday, a massacre Of coal miners
which, on account of its extent and
cold -blooded brutality, has sent thrill
of horror throughout the entire coun-
try.
The fact that the coal mining region
of Pennsylvania has been demoralized
for weeks OH account of great strike
among the miners, is already we'll
known to our readers. Sometime ago
several injunctions were issued against
the miners. One of these injunctons
prohibited the marching of the miners
in bodies along the public roads.
On last Friday, Sheriff Martin. who
had Jurisdiction, got notice of the in
tention of some 200 strikers to march
from Haselton to Latimer's, in Lu-
zerne county. The alleged object OF
the marchers was to compel the miners
at Latimer's to quit work and join
the strike.
Immediately on getting the informa.
ton, Sheriff Martin collected his depu-
ties to the number of 102 and went on
to Latimer's ahead of the marching
miners. Dividing his deputies into
three companies, he took up posi-
ton on the outskirts of town and
waited for the miners to come up.
When the miners came up, they pre-
sented the appearance of a struggling
mob. The sheriff advanced for par.
ley and read the injunction against
marching along the highway. The
crowd listened, and then after the
reading was concluded, marched for.
ward.
Just about the instant the miners
started forward, the deputies fired Il
volley. The miners were taken com.
pletely by surprise and went down
like tenpins. Many were killed in
stantly. The balance were terror.
stricken and turned and fled. The
deputies continued to fire as long as
there was miner in sight, and killed
many as they ran. In all, about 2C
were killed and some 80 or 40 were
wounded.
After the horrible tragedy was over
the sheriff told two stories about it
One was to the effect that after he read
the riot act to the miners, they rushed
on him, tried to killed him, and he
ordered his deputies to fire. The 9th
er story, which was told subsequently
was to the effect that the miners at
tackled him and beat him up considera
bly,; but he did not give any orders tt
fire. How the firing happened to com
