DEPUTIES IN A LIVELY BATTLE
Scores of Shots Exchanged With
Strikers at Throop, Near Scran-
ton, Pa.-No One Hurt.

Scranton, Pa, Aug. PA lively bat
tie occurred tonight between deputies
and strikers at Throop, six miles north
of here. Scores of shots were ex-
changed but so far as known no one
was hit. Last Tuesday the washery of
the Panecast Coal company was start
ed under protection of armed deputies
There had been some stone throwing
at deputies and clubbing of workmen
and on several occasions deputies dis
charged their guns to brighten away
boys who belted the waShery with
sling shots. Today the deputies guard
ing the company's pumping station
were driven to cover by a volley of
shots from the other shore. They re-
turned the fire and silenced the attack
Tonight an attack on the pump house
was renewed. The company antici-
pated it and had a big force of depu-
ties on hand. For an hour bullets flew
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
a hundred feet away, making a target
of the spot where flashes of the assail-
ants guns were seen. The strikers evil
IDENTIFY quit because their ammunition
was exhausted and this put an end to
hostilitirs.
Several houses in the village were
struck by bullets from the deputies ri
fees. Sheriff Schadt went to the scene
but on account of darkness was unable
to do anything. He will take steps to-
morrow, he says, to prevent a repeti-
ton of the scene.

Saw Bartholin Julv 30.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Dovelopments to-
day indicated that Bartholin may have
made a survey of the field where Minnie
Mitchells body and clothing were
found. William Waldrop told the po-
lice that on Wednesday, July 80, he met
William Bartholin at Seventy-fourth
and State streets within a few feet of
the spot where the dead body of the
girl was found. Waldrop talked with
Barth olin. The last he saw of him was
when he boarded a north bound State
street car. 1t is supposed the murder
of Minnie Mitchell took place the same
night. Bartholin's presence at the field
where the body was found later gives
color to the theory that the murder was
planned in cold blood.
