Everett, Wash. Nov. 5.---At least
ak men were killed and forty others
wounded to-day IN figh. at the Ev-
erett city wharf between $50 mem
bcrs OF tie Industrial Workers of
the World vino came here from Sc
attic on the. steamer Verona and 81
posse of $50 citizens headed by Sher-
III Don McRae. Sheriff McRae is
among the seriously wounded. .-.....---.
The number of casualties aboard
the Verona is not known. After the
shooting. in which about 900 shots
were exchanged, the Verona turned
around and started back to Seattle.
Many men were seen to fall on the
deck of the steamer and others, pam
io-stricken, jumped overheard. Some
were taken from the water but 9TH
ers disappeared, and it is believed
they were drowned.
The Verona reached Everett short
ly before 2 o'clock. The coming Of
the party of invaders had been an
nounced in messages sent to Ever
cite from Seattle headquarters. a
call to Industrial Workers of the
World members from all over the
State had been issued earlier in the
week and the citizens of Everett at
meeting held Saturday night plan
ned TO meet the invaders and deny
them privilege of landing.
When the Verona reached the city
wharf Sheriff McRae, who was back
cd by o posse of Deputy Sheriffs and
citizens, stepped forward and in
formed the men on the boat that
they would not be permitted to land.
One of the men, evidently spokes-
man for the party, began arguing
with the Sheriff and then made
speech.
Apparently as a signal the man
dropped his hand and armed men on
the steamer opened fire on the posse
assembled on the wharf.
The first man to fall was Sheriff
McRae, seriously injured.
One man was killed instantly, and
in moment the crowd on shore was
panic stricken. Deputy Sheriffs on
the wharf quickly rallied their
forces, however, and returned the
fire. Men on the wharf and on the
boat We're seen to fall, and the We
roma immediately backed out of the
dock and started back toward Sc
attic.
