800 SHOTS FIRED
Battle TOOK PLACE BETWEEN
ITALIANS and TROOPERS.
Fiqht Took Place at Florence Mill
Near Punk Suaawney, Pennsylvania
Sergeant Logan Had Been Order
ed to Arrest a 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
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. Further losa of life
is feared, for the besieged Italians are
we'll 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 a stiletto, when another Italian
opened fire on him with 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 detail
| 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 $50 o'clock and while ~ of the
constabulary 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
armed are on guard.
The besiged Italians evidently are
preparing 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

origin: After the MOors first invaded

population became so mixed that it
was difficult to say which were Moors
and which Spaniards. The Spaniards
could at once distinguish their breth-

longer and they allowed tuft of hair
to grow below their under lips. so that
their boards formed the rude outline
