II was thought at FIRST that somebody
had been caught and drawn over a pull
ley, and the first man to look up the ele-
vator shaft to discover where the cries
came from was shocked at receiving
stream OF blood upon his face.
There was wild rush TO the upper
fioor and there the Evans boy was found,
with his right foot caught between the
edge OF the elevator car and the floor OF
the shop.
The lad was quickly released from his
terrible position and DR.. Lester s. Hill
was telephoned for.
AS soon as DIR. Hill examined the boys
foot he decided IL was a case calling for
hospital treatment and the ambulance
was sent for.
The ambulance surgeon agreed with Or.
Hill that no bones were broken. The foot
had been badly squeezed the ankle bone
was exposed and completely denuded OF
flesh.
The foot was temporarily bound UP and
Willie was sent TO the X. I hospital
Some idea OF the squeezing the lads
foot received and the wonderful escape
he had from foot so badly mashed that
IL would have to be taken off, can be de-
rived from the fact that his shoe splin-
tered off a piece OF the front of the car.
The boy is spoken of in the highest
terms by his employers. and they we're
much pleased that Willie had escaped be-
ing manned for life.

Headed by Women and Girls,
Made a Big Demonstration
Marched and CountermarChed-- --Ch0ered
When the Whistle Summoning Men
to Work Was Unanswered.

IBazelton, Pa, Oct. 6--Nearly 1000 strik-
into Lattimer early this morning and
completely tied up the two collieries Of
Calvin, Pardee & Co., located at that
place. II was the greatest march that
has taken place during the present strike.
The crowd was made up OF strikers
Hazelton on the south side and from Har-
wood, Elbervale. Jeddo, Freeland and Up
per Lohigh on the north side.
The women and girls came from the
now famous borough of McAdoo. Sheriff
Harvey and a handful of deputies were
at Lattimer when the strikers arrived
and they kept the marehers constantly
on the move.
There was no disturbance at any time,
the men and women being well behaved.
NO RESPONSE TO WHISTLE.
II was little before six o'clock when
the one thousand south side men entered
Lattimer headed by a fife and drum
corps and the women. The leader OF the
females. a pretty Polish girl, carried
large American flag.
They marched and countermarched on
the public road until a. m. when the
whistle blew for the starting of work at
the collieries.
great shout went up from the crowd
when IL was seen that no one responded
TO the call.
Shortly after this a crowd, which proved
north side marchers who had gathered
on the opposite side OF the town, burst
through gate on the farther end of
the companys property. They came
streaming in by the hundreds and

spot where the p marchers were shot by
deputies in 1897
WOMEN IN THE VAN.
The combined forces after a short rest
formed two by two and with the women
and girls in the lead, started on another
parade through the town. The women
called the Lattimer men hard names,
while those thus assailed remained mute
for fear OF being attacked. This was kept
up until clock when the marchers be-
gan TO leave for their homes.
Just before the whistle blew at z
o'clock the McAdoo women gathered on
the public road at the junction OF a pri-
vate lane leading from the companys
stables TO the mine, TO prevent the driver
boys from taking mules into the slopes.
TROUBLE AvERTED.
An official of the company quickly sum-

The above is a statement made by Mr..
ID. l.. ID. Granger, the private candidate
of a few men who are working for their
personal ends, and it indicates that Mr..
Granger Is determined to go TO any
length providing that he can obtain q
nomination for office.
He appears to realize that his chances
OF receiving the Democratic nomination
for mayor are growing beautifully less as
the days pass, and as people realize the
fact that his hackers are acting entirely
without authority.
Ii is a somewhat striking fact OF the
weakness OF the cause Of these self-ap-
pointed lretald-be- -IneuldeIs- -af public epiH-
ion, that no mention Of Mr.. Changers
name was made at the meeting OF the
Democratic city committee last
evening and this In spite
OF the fact that the meeting had
largely been called to procure the rati-
fcation OF the resolution endorsing Mr..
Granger, which was squeezed through
the meeting of the executive committee
OF the city committee with difficulty.

ing the danger which threatened II, in

There Is some conjecture az TO what
