STORY OF THE BATTLE.
Thousand Shots Exchanged and Many
Persons Wounded.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 1.-The first
fatal rioting in the coal region since
| the great anthracite coal miners
strike was declared took place here.
A thousand shots we're exchanged
| and fifty casualties resulted.
The bloodshed started with a clash
in which a nonunion worker was beat
en- almost to death.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Beddal was
escorting two mine workers through
the lines of strikers pickets. One of
the men was jOstled and forced to
drop a bundle which the strikers dis
covered contained a miners blouse
and overalls. The owner was dragged
into a crowd and kicked and beaten.
Deputy Beddal opened fire and then
fed into the railroad depot which
was at once surrounded by a mob of
5000 strike sympathiZers.
A cousin of the deputy, Joseph Bed
dal, a leading merchant of this bor-
ough, tried to make his way into the
depot. He was beaten into uncon-
sciOusness and is in a critical condi-
ton.
The entire police force of the bor-
Ough was marshaled at this juncture
and Chief John Frye
Led the Officers to the Rescue.
The police escorted the imperiled dep
uty to a locomotive. The mob pressed
around the engine and then the police
fred volley.
The rioters fell back long enough
to permit the locomotive to steam
away with Beddal. But the mob re-
turned and attacked the police
Chief Frye gave the order to fire.
At the first lolley the mob fell back
and several were seen to fall.
But the throng returned to the at
tack and charged the policemen.
The officers retreated, turning in
their flight and firing at their pur-
suers.
Two of the officers were caught and
beaten. One of them, Stiney Yacop-
sky, will die.
Policeman Ringheiser was shot in
the hand and back; Policeman Lau-
ritas was shot in several places and
cannot recover.

Rock island Company Incorporates at
Trenton,

Trenton, N. j., Aug. 1.-The articles
Of incorporation of the Rock Island
company, capital $15O,000,000, which
were filed in the office of the clerk of
Hudson county, N. j., Wednesday,
were recorded with the secretary Of
state during the day. A filing fee OF
$4,000 was required to have the incor-
poration made a matter of state rec
ord.
The object of the new corporation is
to control North and South traffic.
This will develop the Rock Island
into giant corporation, which will
array itself against the Northern Sc
curities company, and no doubt precip-
itate lively war.
The plan provides for the consolida-
tion of the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific and it's auxiliaries, the Mexi-
can Central and the St. Louis and San
Francisco lines.
The combination perfected, there
will be a continuous line from st.

ids and Northern, the Rock Island and
the Mexican Central to the isthmus.
The system will extend from Mime
sofa through Chicago and as far as
Birmingham, Ala, in the Southeast, to
Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas on the
west, the alliance with the Santa Fe
will give it communication to the Pa
cifc coast and will create a system
which the parties behind the Northern
Securities company will have to reck-
on.
1t is said that the company is the
result of e arts of the Moore inter.
ests in the Rock Island to secure con-
troll of and merge all the important
Western railroads that have up to the
present time escaped J. PierpOnt Nor

LITTLE TOWN OF LOS ALAMOS,

BY EARTHQUAKE.
PEOPLE WARNED TO LEAVE

President of the University Of Cali
fornia Advises the Residents to
Quit the Town at Once as Distinct
Shocks Are Occurring at Intervals.
Every Brick Building in the Place
Either Destroyed or Badly Wrecked.
Los Alamos, Cal, Aug. 1.-The
most severe earthquake in the his
tory of this place occurred at 1:2O
a. m. It is not possible as yet to esti-
mate the damage, but it is very heavy.
No lives are known to have been lost,
though there were many narrow es-
capes. Every brick building in town
was destroyed or badly wrecked. In
nearly every house windows were
broken. The Presbyterian church, a
large and handsome brick structure,
was razed to the ground and similar
fate befell the general store of W. S.
Wickenben, also a brick building. The
shock seemed to have spirit motion.
of stores and piled in the middle of
the rooms Even such heavy articles
as desks were thrown about. Not a
chimney is left standing in the town.
All brick walls are badly damaged, but
frame structures generally escaped Sc
rious injury. In the drug stores not a
single bottle escaped and KOhn's sa-
will from
broken bottles.
The whole town was aroused and
people fled from their homes to the
streets in a panic. There have been
several light shocks since July 27,
when the first heavy shock occurred.
1t lasted thirty seconds and threw
people from their beds.
Los Alamos is a town Of about 600
inhabitants in Santa Barbara county.
Residents Quitting the Place.
The people of Los Alamcs and vi
cinity are terror-stricken and are flee
ing from their homes to places of
safety on account Of the increasing
severity Of the earthquakes that have
visited this section since the night of
the 9th inst, since which time it is
estimated seventy-fve distinct shocks
have been felt. The people are panic
stricken and many are leaving town by
train and in all available vehicles.
Three distinct shocks were recorded
between and 7:30 a. m. and the lat
ter disturbances add much to the ter
Tor of the inhabitants. President Ben
jamin Ide Wheeler of the University
of California was communicated with
by telephone and advised the people
to quit the town as soon as possible.
Scientists of the university were away
on vacations, but President Wheeler
advised that the people be ready to
fee at a moments notice and that the
doors Of residences and places Of busi-
ness be left open so that those in doors
might escape to the streets without de-
lay in the event Of further disturb
ances. The advice of President
Wheeler was communicated to the
people at once and was Immediately
acted upon.
1t is impossible to estimate the f.
nancial loss at this time with any de-
gree of accuracy but it is believed that
the disturbances Of the last three Or
four days have damaged at least $780,,
OO0 worth Of property.
Reports from other sections Of the |
valley probably will increase this |
amount by many thousands.
