WHOLESALE MURDER
-Four Men Killed in Speak Easy" at
Windber, Pa.
Two OTHERS SERIOUSLY WOUNDED
Cause Of the Difficulty is Shrouded
in Mystery.
THE MURDERER UNKNOWN

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, April 16.-Four per-
sons are dead and two are dangerously
wounded at the mining town of Windber
near here, as the result of a drunken row
in a disorderly house there last night One
| Italian is charged with the wholesale crime,
but it is believed that he is already be-
yond the reach of the law, as a man an
swering his description was ground under
a train at South Fork this morning The
dead are:
John Halverson, Swede.
Ed. P. McCauley an American.
Gust Grieyback, a Slav.
Samuel Shives, an American.
Some of these are victims of a revolver
and some of the deadly stilletto; the two
wounded men, Thomas kipling and Jerk
Buckwalter both being wounded with the
latter instrument.
Fight in "Speak-Easy."
The row occurred at the home of a
French woman known Mrs. Stuck. Two
weeks ago she married an Italian. The
place has been known as a "speak-easy,"
or unlicensed saloon, and has been fire.
quented by both foreigners and Americans
employed in the mines of the Berwind-
White Coal Co. Yesterday seems to have
been banner day throughout, but no par
ticular demonstration was made until about
1918 o'clock last night, when a man ap-
peared at the door and cried that he had
been stabbed, ran few steps and then fell
over dead on the street. He was followed
by a second and then third. The fourth
man who was killed died in the house and
the two wounded men were found there.
There was a dozen or more men in the
house when the ARRAY occurred, but none
of them can be found, and it is impossible
to learn even the name of the murderer or
any facts concerning him beyond that he
wore a SLOUGH hat, slightly creased. 1t Is
believed that he would naturally flee to-
ward Altoona, however, and as South Fork
is on the road there, 1t is generally thought
that he was the man who was killed this
morning.
Three Women Arrested.
Mrs. Stuck and two other women who
and the place is being guarded by men with
Winchesters. Various stories are afloat as
to the cause of the row, but the women re-
fuse to talk. One story is that Mrs. Stuck
angered the murderer by giving too much
attention to other men, and that the fight
was over game of cards, and a third that
it was the result of bad blood over the
strike at the Horatio NINE The town Is in
a state of wild excitement. Hundreds of
people stand around the house and the
pools of blood on the streets where the men
died.
Rough treatment will probably be ac-
corded the murderer If it proves that he is
still alive and if he is caught The fact
that he was able to do so much execution
without himself receiving harm is accounted
for on the theory that he was probably the
only one of the party armed, and that he
was perhaps not so drunk as the others.

Thousands on the Grounds.

AS the hours wore on the crowd in
creased, until at o'clock, when the Marine
Band, under Lieut.. Santelmann arrived
there were probably 5000 persons within
the grounds. A great many well-dressed
colored people were noticeable this being
the anniversary Of Emancipation day as
well as Easter Monday.
Probably no one enjoyed the scenes more
than Mrs Mckinley. whose love for the
little ones is SO warm and earnest She
viewed the throngs for some time from a
south window of the White House and
watched the romping children with smiling
interest. Mrs. Hobart and Miss Barbour
were with her and the President Joined the
party several times and looked out on the
glad gathering.

A Mail CLERK Received Serious Injuries and

wreck at Watrous. The switch at the
station was left open and the train,
which was going at fair rate of speed,
ran into some box cars. The engine,
baggage, mail and express coaches were
derailed and smashed to smithereens.
John L. Gay, mail clerk OF La Junta,
was caught in the wreck and badly
injured internally. The nature of his
injuries is such that their true charac-
ter can not be learned, but it is thought
he is in bad condition. He was taken
to the hospital at Las Vegas. Strange
to say, this was the only casualty, al
though the passengers were badly
shaken up and considerably scared.
The mail and baggage was placed in a
passenger coach and in this manner
brought to Albuquerque.
