STRIKE VIOLENCE.
Continued from Page One.)

The chief disturbance that set the
troops in motion was an assault on
the deputy sheriffs stationed at the
mines of the Calumet and Hecla to
protect property.
None of the mines has attempted
to operate but the strikers seemed to
object to the presence of tn deputies.
About 800 strikers, few armed with
fire arms, marched to the No. 2 con-
glomerate shaft and stripped the
deputies of stars. They then proceed
ed to the Hecla branch mine and di-
vested the deputies there of their in
sigma of authority. The deputies,
outnumbered, offered little resistance,
but there were many fights after the
stars had been collected and several
persons were severely beaten. A few
men were taken to hospitals. The
strikers then surrounded all the sur
face plants of the Calumet and Hecla,
Co, and forced suspension of auxili-
airy operations in these plants.

Cape, two hours after sunrise, but
as she was moving slowly II was some
time before she was abreast of this
point and the extent of her injuries
We're discovered.
1t was apparent that following the
collision. the Deering had been headed
off shore before the wind in order To
repair damages and that when she was
in a condition to head for port she
was many miles to the eastward of
the Cape
The schooner showed signs of having
been through a severe experience. In
addition to having her bow complete
ly shattered, she had lost all her head
gear, While her cargo of railroad ties
had been thrown forward by the shock
OF the collision. The steam pump was
throwing over quantities of water, but
there did not seem to be any commo-
ton among the crew and off here there
was no means of aseertaining whether
any member of the crew had been in
jured in the accident.
