back Of the head and felt the fracture
Of the skull at the forehead they
thought they would have no difficulty
In finding the bali. They searched and
searched however, without discovering
even a splinter OF Il. They fairly cut
the head into mince meat but their
search remained unrewarded. At sup
per time they gave up the search COM
pletely puzzled. Today they will make
another effort.
SEARCHING FOR BULLET.
Much depends on the finding of the
bullet and realizing this the doctors
propose to take heroic measures to lo-
cate II. The opening in the back Of the
head Is of such dimensions that 1t
might have been made by a rifle ball Of
large calIbre. The hole, however, is ir-
regular and could have been made by
small pistol ball.
The dead mans light colored slouch
hat has a bullet hole in its rim. 1t Is
supposed he had the rim turned down
on account of the rain and that the
hole was made by the bullet before 1t
entered his head. 1t is possible, how
ever, that this hole was made by an
other bullet.
Both the bullet which killed Vinazza
and the bullet which ripped the rim of
Betetto's hat apparently came from the
rear and took an upward course. 1t is
not impossible that they were shot In
mistake for deputies but the more
plausible theory is that deputies shot
them.
No arrests have as yet been made.
District Attorney Lewis said yesterday
afternoon he did not care to make ar
rests until he had arrived at salts
factory theory of how the killing oc-
CURED. He supposes, he says. that
some guard at the colliery did the
shooting but is not yet satisfied that
this is not an erroneous supposition.
MINERS OFFICIALS INVESTIGATE
A number of the officials of the Uni
ted Mine Workers went to Lackawan-
ma yesterday to investigate the shoot
ing with "a view Of causing the arrest
of the deputies District President
Nichols said yesterday that If their in
vestiga tions satisfy them the shooting
was done by the guards, prosecutions
will be brought against them. Some
action will likely be taken today. when
the investigating committee will make
it's report.
There was much indignation among
the foreign residents over the shooting
and they made all sorts of threats
The guard at the collery was doubled
last night and Sheriff Schadt went
down in the evening with special
posse to preserve order. When dark
ness came thousand people collected
in the vicinity of the mine and an at
tack might have been made on the
guards had not the sheriff's posse kept
the crowd in check. Consul Tiscar ad-
dressed the crowd and induced them to
go home.
A number of carpenters and laborers
who We're employed to build a new
breaker for the Lehigh Valley Coal
company at it's Mineral Spring mine
went on strike yesterday because the
company would not grant them an s.
hour day.
A telegram was sent from strike
headquarters to President Mitchell in
the West today that there was no truth
in the reports that the strikers were
weakening, on the contrary the situa-
tion was stated to be about the same
as when he left and that the miners
were putting up noble fight.
GET BACK THEIR MEN
Three of the big coal companies in
this region now claim they have all the
engines and pumpmen they need. The
Delaware and Hudson company has
surplus of engineers. There is no ques-
tion but that the companies are grad
ually getting back a great number of
the engineers and pumpmen who quit
their services June .. Two engineers
and two tiremen returned to work at
the Mount Lookout colliery of the
Temple Iron company yesterday morn
ing.
Nelson Daley, an imported Goa! and
iron policeman, was jailed in Wilkes
Barre by Deputy Marshal Snyder for
attempting to pass counterfeit coin.
