FIRST ENCOUNTER FIERCE
The attack on the deputies at the
shaft was exceedingly fierce for few
minutes. The deputies were unarmed.
There was a scrimmage in which sew
eral of the deputies were knocked down
by blows on the head or body. In this
fight Unsworth, Danblom and Trestail
were injured. All were placed In am
balances and taken to the Calumet and
Hecla hospital for treatment.
The successful rioters continued
through the Calumet mine property to
the Hecla shops. where the foundry
machine and carpenter shop forces were
at work. The strikers evidently in
tended to stop their operations. but
many of the employees OF the shops,
forewarned OF the approach of the
strikers. left their benches. A few re-
fused to leave and they were beaten
and taken to the hospital. William
Grierson, a machinist was the most
seriously injured Of the men.
PEACEMAKER Is MAULED
August Beck, formerly sheriff of
Houghton county and special officer in
the employment Of the Calumet and
Hecla company, was beaten IN severai
scrimmages Wednesday night and to-
day. Beck was active in his efforts 10
prevent rioting. He tried to argue with
the strikers against violence and sur
fered physical reply.
There were numerous rumors today
that he had been killed in the riots,
but. wearing bandages, Beck was on
duty tonight. Twice In the excitement
a revolver was stuck in front OF Beck's
nose and numerous threats against his
life were made
No effort was made to operate any OF
the mines or to work any OF the prop
critics beyond that absolutely neces-
sary
whether the strikers yielded to the
advice of their leaders or were frfsht-s
ened by the call for troops, they ceased /
their demonstrations this afternoon
More than 500 miners from Ahmeek
marched to Calumet and paraded the
streets shouting for the union, but they
attempted no violent maneuvers.
ARMED MEN IN MEETINGS
Several mass meetings were held and
great enthusiasm was shown when
the speakers exhorted the men to re-
main faithful to the strike orders. Sew
eraI men were observed TO be armed
with clubs and some are said to carry
knives and revolvers.
Leaders of the Western Federation
of Miners have sent out repeated re-
quests to the men to desist from car
rying arms or interfering by violence
with any one about the mines.
After mass meeting in Calumet this
afternoon strikers marched to the Red
Jacket shaft of the Calumet and Hecla
company and chased away three watch
men Then a loyalty meeting was held
and speeches were made in English and
Finnish The orators beseeched the
men not to use violence, but to stand
together until the demands for more
wages better working conditions and,
chief of all, recognition of the union,
were granted.
At Hancock a body of strikers this
afternoon went to the Park Brewing
company's plant, operated by nonunion
men since a strike some time ago, and
