 time and emptied his revolver Two Of the shots took effect, one man peing shot in the leg and the other III the foot. The deputy and the other strike breaker were now compelled to fly for their lives and took refuge in the Phlla- delphia and Reading railroad depot' 1 The depot was soon surrounded py all angry mob of five thousand Whlch was becoming more threatening and delnon- strative every moments. Joseph Beo- dal a hardware merchant and cousin of the deputy sheriff, was seen making his way through the crowd in an e1tort to reach his cousin and the mop, olVli- ing that he was carrying ammunition to those inside the depot, seized him ana beat him with clubs and billies into in- 1 sensibility. He died en route to the miners hospital.
 | Shortly after this the entire borough police force arrived on the scene ana escorted the deputy sheriff and his man to an engine which had been backed into the depot for that purpose. When the mob realized that their prey was
 about to escape they surroundeo the engine and the engineer was afraid to move. In few moments, however the
 police fired a volley, dispensing the crowd for a brief period, and the en- gineer turned on full steam ana got away with his men. Stones were now lthrown thick and fast about the heads of the police, whereupon Chlef John Fry gave the order to fire. At the first yolIey the mob fell back and several were seen to fell.
 Their retreat, however was but mo- lmentary. They returned with revolvers' stones and even a few shotguns. They charged on the little band of policemen land made them fly for their lives. The nolicemen turned in their flight at short
 intervals and fired volley after volley at itheir merciless pursuers, but the mop
 seemed thoroughly infuriated ana
 smoking revolvers seemed to have no
 terrors for them When the Lehigh
 railroad crossing was reached passing
 freight train blocked the progress of the
 police. Two of them were caught ana
 brutally beaten. One or tnen' otihey
 Yacopsky, will die.
 It is estimated that upwards of one
 thousand shots were fired, and the won
 der is that more fatalities did not result.
 More than twenty strikers, all of them
 foreigners, were shot. and at least two of them will die. Many of the mer-
 chants and politicians are refusing to
 sign the call for troops fearing that the miners will boycott them after the trou-
 ble is over, and as the governor has made the sending of troops contingent
 on the petition of citizens there is some
 doubt as to whether they will be sent out.
 At il o'clock tonight the streets are still crowded with people, but every thing is quiet.
 The doctors of the town dressed the
 wounds of nearly forty strikers, all ot
 whom were foreigners. It is known al 2 midnight that four out of the six police ,, men were shot Chief Fry received g ! slight wound in the hand Yacopsky was shot in the neck and head and may
 die: Ringheiser was shot in the hand and back, not seriously; Laurites wa:
 shot in several places and he cannot re-
 cover.
