HALF A. DOZEN OF THE DISTURB
Frs WOUNDED, ONE PER.
HAPs FATALLY.
Fifty SHOTS FIRED IN MELEE
SHERIFF JAILs HIS PRISON.
Err BUT MAYOR ORDERS
HIS RELEASE.

Eveleth, Mimi. June s. - After
bloody and desperate battle with
mob of over 200 furious mine strikers.
in which half dozen Of the disturbers
were seriously wounded, Sheriff Butch
art and his deputies yesterday sue
ceeded in effecting temporary ces-
sation of hostilities at the Fayal mine,
and the officers returned to Duluth
late in the afternoon.
The trouble, which has been brew
ing for several days, broke out in full
blast yesterday morning, and the
struggle which ensued between the,
strikers and the officers was desper-
ate while 1t lasted AS a result two
men lie in serious condition at the
Eveleth hospital. one with a bullet
wound in his head which may cause
his death, and several others received
severe injuries during the progress of
the ARRAY. A fight between a Finn and
an Italian was primarily the
Cause Of the Fight.
The men were both former employees
of Drake & Stratton. and contro-
versy arose between them which Gull
minated in severe hand-to-hand con-
flict. Sheriff Butchart and his depu-
ties, who were on the scene early in
the morning, interfered and tried to
separate the men. One of the fighters
pulled gun on Deputy Horigan, but
when the latter in response pulled his,
the man surrendered and was arrest
ed. This was the signal for a general
attack on the officers. and the strikers,
already in the highest pitch of rage
and excitement, fell upon their vic
Tins like pack Of hungry wolves
Over fifty shots were fired in the
melee. and knives, clubs and rocks
were frequently resorted to by the
strikers. Owing to the fact that the
latter were scattered over wide area
Of land. while the officers kept togeth-
er, none of the deputies were wound
ed, although at numerous times
Bullets and Rocks Whzzed
closely by their ears. AS soon as the
mob realized that the officers had
prepared themselves we'll for the
emergency by bringing along an ample
supply of weapons and ammunition,
they gradually withdrew, scattering
widely over the surrounding fields,
while some retired to the city The Of
ficers did not pursue. but returned
with their prisoner to the county Jail.
Again gathering their scattered
forces the strikers marched to the Jail
and demanded that the prisoner be
given up to them. They did not re-
sort to violence this time. but their
request for the liberation Of the pris-
oner grew more and more urgent and
threatening, and finally, despite the
protests of Sheriff Butchart. the may
or ordered that he be released. This
was practically the end of the dis
turbance yesterday, but it is believed
that it may break out anew to-day.
