meeting there at which President
Meyer of the Western Federation
of Miners was to outline peace
plan We're fired upon by sheriff's
deputies stationed in the hall and
three men were shot, one being
killed and two wounded, one prob
ably fatally.
The shooting of the three men
apparently took most of the nerve
out of the crowd at the time and
they quickly dropped back a disa
tance of two blocks from the hall.
A hundred deputies with sawed off
shotguns are holding the hall. The
sheriff asked for 500 volunteers as
deputies but no response was made
to the appeal
Miners are rushing for their
weapons and such arms as they can
| get. There is much shouting for
dynamite in the crowd and the
deputies fear the explosive has been

Ernest Nowy, travelling inspector
for the Montana Commission house
Of Demurrade was shot dead. He
was a bystander.
l A battle is progressing now. Sew
'ral miners are firing from the tops
I1f buildings into the hall. The
deputies are reserving their fire but
1 occasionally answer with a shot.
I An attempt was made to dyna-

Attorney H. L. Faulkner, who while U.

The princi- pal objection was the cost of employ ing extra guards to watch the prison CTS while at work. A conference was had with Col. w. P. Richardson while he was in Juneau the other day and Col. Richardson, as president of the Alaska Road Commission, agreed to furnish an employee of the commis- sion as guard and overseer for the prisoners.
