TWO STRIKERS ARE WOUNDED
DEPUTIES ARE PLACED UNDER
ARREST ON A CHARGE OF
RIOTING.
NINE WORKERS BLAME DEPUTIES
SHERIFF. WILL SEND A STRONG
FORCE TO PRESERVE
ORDER.

Wilkes5arre, Pa, Aug. ia riot oc-
Cured at the Warnke washery at Dur
yea yesterday. Trouble had been brew
ing since early morning. Before
o'clock 500 men and boys collected
about the place and threatened to in
terfere with those who wanted to go to
work. Sheriff Jacobs had a number Of
deputies on the ground and they held
the crowd back. The works were
started up but remained in operation
only short time. The crowd outside
threw stones over the stockade at the
deputies who were on guard within.
Several times the deputies were tempt
ed to fire. Rather than have any
trouble work was suspended for the
time being. The deputy sheriffs re-
turned to Wilkesbarre at noon report
ing all quiet at the washery when they
left. They had hardly reached Wilkes
barre, however, until the
Deputies on Guard Were Attacked.
Several men in the mob also attempt
ed to climb over the barbados. The
deputies warned them to go back and
when they did not volley was fired,
out the most of the bullets went high
into the air. Harry Collins was shot
through the right leg. Andrew Mar
lack, a Lithuanian, received a flesh
wound, and another foreigner had
narrow escape bullet passing through
his coat.
Deputy sheriffs from Luzerne and
Lackawanna counties went to the scene
of the rioting, but when they arrived,
all was quiet, the mob having dispersed.
An eye witness says the attack, the
shooting and the retreat did not last
more than five minutes. Warrants were
sworn out before the burgess charging
the depties with rioting and
Felonious Wounding.
The constables went to the washery
and placed twenty-five men under ar
rest. They were arraigned before
Burgess Burlington last night and held
in $4,000 bail each. They could not fur
rish bail and We're brought to the
county Jail here. The United Nine
workers say the shooting was uncalled
for and the deputies alone are to blame.
If it is decided to resume operations
at the washery again, the Sheriff VIII
have guard strong enough to preserve
order ana give enough protection 10
those who want to go to work.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-The first step TO-
ward the realization of the long-talked-
of ship canal to st. Louis yesterday was
taken when the board Of army engl-
GERS appointed by the federal govern
ment to conduct a survey of the route

the members of the board consider the
canal feasible. While the board Will
act in both a judicial advisory capacity

of Yesterday would indicate that the

GREAT ALARM AT HOPKINS.
Community Is Threatened With I
Quarantine.

Quarantine.
Minneapolis, Aug. Is. - Secretary
Bracken and other representatives OF
the state board of health are greatly
exercised over the discovery of singu-
lar, most alarming and almost unex-
plainable condition of things at Hop
kins, a station OH the Minneapolis Il st.
Louis road about six miles west of Min
neapolis. DR.. Catherine A. Burns,
health commissioner of Hopkins, claims
to have discovered twenty-seven cases
of scarlet fever in five dwellings. It
is said that this unfortunate condition
is attributable to the Incompetence OF
physicians of that place. 1t is also re-
ported that the disease has been COM
municated to a considerable number OF
people in Minneapolis. The state board
of health IS acting upon information
furnished by DR.. Burns. The latter
maintains with absolute positiveness
that it is scarlet fever. The local ply
sicians, It appears, do not agree with
this diagnosis Of the cases. DR.. Brack-
en- seems disposed to accept DR.. Burns
diagnosis. The state board will prop
ebly establish a close quarantine.

ignite Operators willing to EN-
ploy Pemnnylvanin Miners.

ploy Pennsylvania Miners.
Ignite operators in North Dakota
want help, and are willing to employ
,trking miners from the disturbed an
,hracite region. The congeniality Of
harvest work, coupled with the good
wages and liberal inducements in trans
oortation offered by the railroad COM
oanies, is attracting most Of the men to
the fields, and away from mines, rail-
rcuds and other industries.
So serious has become the situation
IN the ligaite coal fields Of North Dako-
ia, that the manager of one of the
mines has appealed to an employment
agency IN Minneapolis, and asked that
men be sent there at once. He informs
the agent that while it has always been
the custom of the company to employ
only American labor, the need is so
Great that he will hire Italian or Rus
sian miners If they can be secured. He
also suggests the idea Of importing a
humber of striking miners from the
Pennsylvania coal region.
The railroad companies are also COM
claiming of not being able to get men
enough foe extra gangs to carry out the
improvements planned. Every induce
ment has been made to get men to go
into these extra gangs, but many who
have been so employed are now leaving
and going to he harvest fields. The
Milwaukee road alone is said to need
1900 men to carry out it's projected
work.
Another appeal for laborers comes
from the brickyards of North Dakota.

made to get men to go to North Da'
