Rumor Of Suicide

Until the Montrose arrives the host

and the nervous residents can do nothing
but wait. Meantime the lighthouse is
kept aflame at night, while the steam
horn bellows its warnings through the

Montreal that Crippen had committed
suicide on board the Montrose. This
caused considerable uneasiness, although
it came absolutely without foundation. A
number of wireless messages inquiring
about the truth Of the report were ad-
dressed to the Montrose, but they were
stacked up beside the operator tonight
waiting to be sent.

Reds Left Crushed.

A ten-minute respite was called for by
the umpires, who made their notes and
then allowed the battle to be resumed.
The next move by the Blues crushed the
Reds left into nothing. From the cover
of a splendid oak forest the best compa-
MES of the ID Regiment swept the
cornfield, and actually captured a ma
chine gun battery belonging to the regu-
lars in the Red army. There was no
more left wing for the Red army, and
Col Ourand was spanking the other wing
with great ease and JUNCTION. The Blues
had ii all their own way, according to the
white-banded umpires, SO the victory was
given them. and the recall was sounded.
This battle is the fourth successive VIC

in command of the District National
Guard. According to Gen. Wotherspoon,

LED INTO DEATH TRAP
OFFICERS LURED BY FIRE SET
BY STRIKING MINERS.
Were Fired Upon From Hilltop as
They Gathered About Blaze.
One Man Is Killed.

GREENSBURG, Pa, July 3O.-Follow-
ing defeat in an alleged plot to draw a
score of officers into a death trap early
today. it was reported that striking min
ers near Export were mobilizing an army
of nearly 1000 to avenge the loss of one
man and the injury of many more in a
battle with the deputies and the fifty al
legged strikers today.
While it was still dark early this morn
ing fire was set to a vacant building
near the mines, with the purpose, it is
alleged, of drawing the officers within
range of it's glare. Meanwhile fifty arm
ed miners stationed themselves on hill
in the shadow 200 feet away.
Three state policemen and fifteen depu-
ties came hurrying to the blaze to find
themselves the objects of downpour of
shot from the darkened hill top. State
Officer George Davis fell with wound in
the leg.
The other officers charged the hill
despite a raining fire, and their faster
guns drove the miners to retreat. 1t was
not until daylight, two hours later, that
the officers found the body of a miner
on the hilltop. His head was almost sew
cred from the body by shot s,u. Bioodstains
thicket nearby indicated that others had
been shot and wounded.
The victim mentioned was later iden-
titled as Sam Yucoback. He was crippled
several years ago by his work in the
mines.
Will Lose His Leg.
In the vicinity Of the shooting were
several hundred shells, left on the ground
when the fighting miners deserted their
position. George Davis. the state police
man, who was shot, will lose leg. A
"A caliber bullet shattered the bone and
amputation will be necessary.
A report reached Sheriff Shields tonight
that a body of miners numbering 1900
from the various points in the strike
zone were marching upon this locality.
Sheriff Shields was not alarmed. He
promptly placed in the Jail corridor fifty
repeating rifles, and is prepared to use
them to prevent a delivery of the fifty
miners placed within the Jail within the
past few days.
The strike of 1900 miners in the Irwin
fields mas been on since last March and
has frequently broken out into rioting.
The sheriff stated tonight that the in
functions granted for the coal companies
at Export and other mining districts had
been violated and that he intended to
force peace at any cost.

Reds Left Advances.

Finally the left wing of the Reds dared
show itself. for it's officers saw but few
of the District of Columbia men in front.
Out Of the corn field they came boldly and
would have had everything their own way
had 1t not been for the fact that down a
deep. gully on the left of the Reds two
battalions of Blues from Col. Simms'
command were hiking as fast as legs
could take them over wheat stubbles
This Ranking party crawled I'D behind
rail- fence overgrown with weeds and sur
prised the Reds. The firing was at very
close range and would have moved the
Reds down mercilessly. There was little
cover for the Reds at that point and their
left wing was driven back into the corn
Had 1t been war the fatality would have
been enormous. The umpires saw it, and
cease firing" was sounded by the bu-
glers. At that time the farthest line of
the Blues had pierced beyond the firing
line OF the Reds and the whole Red wing
was in danger of humiliation. Col Our
and's LIST Regiment was holding the resu-
lars on the left of the Blue line, leaving
Col. Simms free to advance to Bonneau-
vile.
