CONFUSION.

5000 American miners formed here
last evening and stoned foreign mine
workers, most of them shovelers. I'M
til score or more Of the latter were
injured, one critically. A report that
one foreigner had been killed persist
ed, but could not be certified as the
foreigners have scattered into the out
lying districts. Sheriff T. H. Adams.
Of San Francisco county, denied that
there had been death.
More than 100 shots were fired. Win.
dows OF shaft houses Of the Doerson
& Federal Land company were partly
smashed, doors were torn from their
hinges and homes of foreigners were
wrecked.
The Americans stoned every foreign
er sighted and marched from shaft
house to shaft house with the avowed
purpose of driving out every foreign
mine worker Most of the gunfire,
however. was for effect. as only one
man is known to have been wounded
by bullet.
Dissatisfaction among the mine
workers has been apparent for the
last three days owing to the alleged
preference of the employers for for
eign labor. Agitators have made
canvass Of the men and have urged. 1t
is said, the elimination OF all but
American labor. Reports that the out
break was melted by agents Of the
Industrial Workers of the World were
