LIVELY BATTLE At THRooP
Deputies and Strikers Exchange Shots,
But Hit No One.


Scranton, Pa, Aug. IA lively
battle occurred last night between
deputies and strikers at Throop, an
isolated mining village six miles
north Of here. Scores Of shots were
exchanged, but as far as Is known no
one was hit. The one colliery in the
village Is operated by the Pancoast
Coal Company, branch of the On.
tario and Western coal department.
Last Tuesday the washery was start.
ed under the protection OF armed dep.
uties. There has been some stone
throwing at the deputies and clubbing
Of workmen, and on several occasions
the deputies discharged their guns to
frighten away the boys who pelted
the washery with sling.shots.
Yesterday at noon the four depu.
ties guarding the company's pumping
station, located on the river bank.
were driven to cover by a volley Of
shots from the opposite shore. They
returned the fire and silenced the at.
tack. Last night when darkness fell
the attack on the pump house was re-
newed. The company anticipated II
and had big force of deputies on
hand. For an hour bullets few thick
and fast. The attacking party seemed
to concentrate its fire on the pump
house, for it was fairly riddled with
bullets. The deputies shot into the
bushes on the opposite shore, only
100 feet away, making target of the
spot where the flashes OF the assail.
ants guns were seen.
The strikers evidently quit because
of their ammunition being exhausted
and this put an end to hostilities.

What actuated them do not know.
A newspaper said that 1t had something
to do with my attitude on the trust

sonal to me and my family, and were
of such a character that could do
nothing but resent them.
IL understand that after l left the
restaurant at the conclusion Of the diff
fculty, the walters suppressed the
crowd with some energy"
A gentleman who was a member OF
Mr.. Knox's party said that after Mr.
Knox escorted the ladies from the res
taurc Mt and returned he expressed his
opinion of the actions OF the party In
a vigorous manner, whereupon one OF
the men seized him roughly. District
Attorney Young, quick as flash.
struck over Attorney General Knoxs
head, landing on the assailant. He re.
taliated and seized Young by the
throat. One Of Mr.. Knox's friends
dealt him chopping blow on the head.
The walters rushed forward and threw
themselves upon him, bearing him to
the ground. 1t was all over in an in
slant. 1t was purely personal affair
and politics had nothing whatever to
do with it.
