PITTsBURG. Pa. August 26.-One man was killed. another was prob ably fatally wounded and an unknown number of others were injured at midnight tonight when citizens of Carnegie, a suburb. and robed mem bers of the Ku Klux Klan cIashed at Glendale bridge at Charters creek. Quiet had not been restored two hours later but all available deputy sheriffs and police and Allegheny county policemen were guarding the streets. A motorcycle had been sta toned at the edge of the borough to prevent any further attempts of the klansmen to enter the town and officials expressed the belief that they would soon have the situation in hand.
 The man killed, who was wearing a white robe. has not been identified and at the morgue it was said there was nothing on his body to identify him. The most seriously injured was Steve Zarsolbeck who, hls friends say, was discharged few months ago, from the regular army camp after six years of service. He was a member of the party opposing the parade and was shot through the ab- domen, William, Williams, another ex-soldier, and member. of the oppoS- ing force, was picked up and hurled lAlp NAAeAt I4SAo VI o~A@-

 The robed klansman died in the of- flee of pr. F. B. Jones as he was placing him upon the operating table to probe for the bullet through the head. Three other klansmen, wear ing their robes. appeared later for treatment of minor injuries They left with the robes hidden under their coats. the physician said. Burgess 4Ha fc frFCr 141H no permit had been issued for the parade. It was estimated that 10000 klansmen had gathered on the bill above Carnegie and marched in the parade
 The klansmen had been gathering all afternoon and evening for wha1 is understood to have been 8 state meeting on 8 hillside overlooking Carnegie. Early in the evening their leaders were told, police said, that parade through Carnegie would not be permitted.
 Moves Over Hill.
 About II o'clock, however, the pa- rade was seen to move owe rthe hill and start toward the town. In order to enter 1t the klansmen had to cross the Glendale bridge, which spanned a small creek. A crowd gathered tt were run on 1t and stopped, effec- lively blocking the structure. When the automobile leading the parade reached the bridge 1t stopped. The klansmen immediately made no at tempt to proceed and paid no atten- ton to the cries to lower the Ameri- can flag which headed the parade. Neither did they make any move to turn back.
 After the impasse had existed for perhaps a half hour the leaders of the marchers seized an opportune moment and made a wild dash for ward. The automobiles were rolled off the bridge and the crowd sta tioned at the one end swept back ward. The parade continued for two blocks with only isolated instances of bricks and stones being hurled at the marchers. When the opposing crowd seeming to have collected their forces, rushed forward, bedlam tt once broke loose. All kinds of mis- sles were hurled through the air and firing began. One white robed man was seen to fall. He was picked up and carried into a doctors office where he died.
