BlTTLE TOOK PLACE BETWEEN
ITALIANS and TROOPERS.
Fight Took Place at Florence Mill
Near PUNK Suaawney, Pennsylvania
Sergeant Logan Had Been Order
ed to Arrest Member of Crew.
House of Refuge Besieged.

Punxsutawney, Pa, Sept. Sin a
bloody battle Sunday evening between
foreigners and 20 members Of Troop
D, state cOnstabulary, in which 500
shots were fired, two troopers were
killed and one fatally wounded, while
three other persons received bullet
wounds. The murderers were sur
round in a house at Florence mine,
seven miles from here, and at day
light the attempt to capture them will
be renewed. Ft(rther losd of life
is feared, for the besieged Italians are
well supplied with arms and ammuni-
ton.
The trouble began when Sergeant
Logan went to Florence to search for
Leopold Scarlet, who is charged with
shooting his brother in law
Salvatore Walzoch, who is said to be
one of the most desperate members
of the "black hand" started street
fight with a countryman and Logan
placed him under arrest An Italian
made an Intellectual lunge at Logan
with stiletto, when another Italian
opened fire on him with a magazine
shotgun. Logan returned the fire and
the two emptied their weapons at each
other. Logan received one buckshot
wound in the foot and one Italian was
perhaps fatally wounded.
Logan, believing he had a "black
hand man to deal with, telephoned to
the barracks at this place and a de-
tachment of five privates was detaile
to go to his assistance. The detach-
ment arrived at Florence at 4:3O
o'clock.
Private John Henry Immediately
started for the Waltzoch house, where
the trouble had taken place, but when
about 20 feet from it was shot down.
Chambers and Mullen, in attempting
the rescue of their comrade were shot
down before they reached him.
A telephone call was sent in for
the entire force and Is additional
troopers were hurried to the scene.
When the second detachment arrived
at $3.50 O'Clock and while IL of the
kept firing into the win
dows and front doors, six policemen
made a rush for the side door, which
they battered in. Three of the off
GERS, Zehriger, Gross and Cummings,
dashed up the stairs, but were con-
fronted by three of the desporadoes,
who opened fire. Zehringer fell at the
first volley. but the other two escaped.
Realizing that lives were being sacri-
feed uselessly and the storm and
darkness coming on, the troopers sent
for carbines and prepared to keep the
house surrounded until morning The
widest excitement prevails in Punxsu-
tawney and nearby town. Fifteen
troopers and several policemen, to-
gether with many citizens, heavily
are on guard.
The besiged Italians evidently are
to sell their lives dearly
Many citizens have brought the build
ing to atoms, but Lieutenant Egle Is
determined to capture the murderers
Of his troopers by lawful means. The
police have arranged powerful search
lights so that the entire building is in
plain view.

ROUTE OF NEW ROAD.
Line is Practically Settled for Chi
caao Milwaukee 6 st. Paul.

Line is Practically Settled for Chi
cago Milwaukee G. st. Paul.
Contracts for the building of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, from
the Bitter Root Mountains to the Col
umbia river have been let to H. Henry
of Seattle.
The route follows down the St.
Joseph river from the IdahorMont-
ana line to point below Farrell, or
st. Joe, Idaho, then goes on to Tekoa,
Wash, passes on to Rosalia, goes
along the south side of Rock lake and
then reaches Lind, on the Northern
Pacific.
From Lind the line will practically
follow the survey of the old Northern
Pacific cutoff from Lind to Ellens-
burg.
At Tekoa the st. Paul would con-
meet with the o. R. & N. If, as report
ed, the ST. Paul should come under
the Hartman influence, the st. Paul
might use the o. R. & NJ for getting
into Spokane, pending the completi-
ton of it's terminal line into here.
Tekoa is 40 miles from Spokane.
North Yakima, apparently, will not
be on the route.
From Ellensburg west the line
strikes through Snoqualmie pass, a lit
tie north of the Northern Pacifc's
pass through the Cascades, and then
goes on into Seattle
The route will traverse the great
wheat fields of the Spokane country,
and will give the Big Bend district an
entirely new route.
The distance across the state will
be much the shortest of any of the
roads.
