Th strike Ituttion reached terrible criaii on the outskirts of Lfltlm-r this afternoon, when a band of deptuy sheriff fired into a mob of miner. The men fell like so many sheep, and the excitement ha been o intense that no accurate figure of the dead and wounded can tie obtaind. Iieiort run from IS to 20 killed and 40 or more wounded. One man who reached the icene to night counted 13 corpse. Four other Isslie lay in the mountain between Lutimcr and llarleigh. Those who were uninjured carried their dead and wounded friend into the wood. Esti mates are hurtling. Three bodies were found tonight on the road near Latimer. The striker left II and ton about 8:30 o'clock this afternoon, and it waa their intention to go to Latimer. A soon a tit in became known, a band of deputies waa loaded on a trolley car and went whirling across the mountain to the scene, where the bloody conflict followed. After reaching Latimer, they left the car ami formed into three companies, under Thomas Hall, K. A. lies and Samuel H. Sercy. They drew up in line at the edge of thu village, with a fence and a line of house in their rear. Sheriff Martin was in entire command und stood in the front of the line until the striker approached. They were seen coming across the lidge, and Mar tin went out to meet them. The men drew up sullenly and listened in alienee until he hud once more read the riot act. This finished, a low muttering arose among thu foreigner, and there was slight movement forward. Perceiving this the sheriff Mtcppod toward them and forbade them to advance. Some one struck thu sheriff, and the next moment the command waa given to the deputie to tire. The gun of the deputie instantly belched forth a terrible volley. The rcsirt seemed to shake the very moun tain, ami a cry of dismay went up from the people. The striker were taken entirely by surprise, and a the men fell over each other, those who remained unhurt NtiiiuN-ied. The men went down he foio the storm of bullet like tenpins, and the groan of the dying and wound ed lillcd the air. The scene that followed waa simply indescribable. The deputie seemed to be terror-stricken at the deadly execu tion of their gun, and seeing the liv ing striker lleeing like wild men and Other dropping to the earth, they went to the aid of the unfortunate whom they had brought down. The coplo of Latimer ruhsed jh-II-inell to the scene, but the shrieks of the Wounded drowned the eric of the sym pathizing and half-crazed inhabitant. A reNirtur who noon afterward reached the scene found the road lead ing to Latimer tilled with group of frightened Hungarian. Some sur lounded dying companions, ami other, fearful of pursuit, clung to the new comer and begged hi protection. At Farley' hotel were two men lying on the potch. Hot li hart turn nhot in the bead. One had three bullet in the thigh. Hi groan and appeal fur a dis-lor were heartrending. All along the road thu wounded men who were aide to leave the Held of bat tle scnlteicd thcmsclvc and sought the shade of treoe for protection, but there was no need of that then. Approaching the place where the shooting occurred, people were met wringing their hands and Isinonning the catastrophe. They could not talk intelligently, and it was with the great est dimVulty that information could bo gleaned. All along the bank of the trolley road men lay in every position, mime dead, others dying. Three bodic, face downward, lay along the incline, while other were but il short distance away. On the other side of the road as many IkkIics lay. The aclnsilhouse was trans formed into a temporary hospital mid some of the wounded were taken there. The colliery ambulance wa sum moned to the place as soon a possible, and upon its arrival, two men, bot' shot through the leg, were loaded int the wagon. All along the hillside wounded men were found, on the road Ride ami in the Held. Many miners who had been carried to distances could not be I uiiid. As soon us the new of the shooting reached llaelton, there was consterna tion. Within 10 minutes, the streets were blocked with excite. I people. The Lehigh Traction Company immediately started a number of extra car on tho Iiiitimcr line, and doctors and clergy men responded promptly. During the excitement, the deputies turned their attention to the wounded, and carried many of them to place where they could be more, comfortably treated. Martin Koski, an intelligent Hun garian from Mount Pleasant, who wa shot in the arm, wa Keen by a reenter, and gave tins version of the affair: "We were going along tho road to Lutimcr, and the deputie wore lined acres the road, barring our passage. We triisl to go through them, ami did not attempt to hit or molest them, when they tired upon us. We ran, but they kept on shooting at us while we ran. It is all their fault." Citizens' meeting were held at vari ous part of the city tonight. Opinion wa divided aUmt the respousibilty for the shooting. At one meeting held in Van Vvckle'cnsino, attended by bunk era, coal iterator and prominent men, resolutions were adopted calling on (Jovemor Hastings to semi militia here. At another mass meeting, attended by thousands of people, the sentiment was against biinging the troop here, and it is asserted by these that there will be no real mccssity for having deputies j kept here.

" A BRUTAL OUTRAGE. DISTRESS AT DAWSON. WlL WRECK Turtur I'urblu Meillelns Man Cruelly ll Aged HqUBr. KantaFe.N. M., Sept. 13. Major Nordstrom, United State agent in I'harge of the Pueblo Indians, returned this morning from Zuni Pueblo, where he hu been examining in to a ieculiar saae. Under tho influence of Chief Nioie, and bucked by the religion or ganization in the village known a "the priest of the bow," the most bar barous outrages have been committed by these Indiuu from time to time. Their last offenre occurred when they suspended by the wrists a female mem ber of the tribe, aged 78 years, and ex--lorted from her a confession to the effect that she had bewitched the nos trum of the medicine man, and pro vented them from curing an Indian of a faint lies. Major Nonlstrom say the only mo tive for assaulting the woman waa to strengthen the hold of the medicine men and their colleagues, the priests of the bow, Usm their superstitious fol lower. Tho woman's life wa saved by kindly nursing, and it is the inten tion of the ugeut to arrest ami punish the ringleader of the assault. To this end, and in compliance with Major Nordstrom' recommendations, the interior department has called Umiii the war department to concen trate four troop of United State cav- alrv at Zuni on tho 15th inst., with a view to aiding tho civil authorities in the arrest of Chief Niope and live of hi associates. It I thought that a battle will follow the invasion of the village by troop on Wednesday next. The Zuni number some 1,G00, and can muster about il.iO warriors, who are well armed with Winchesters. Their village i a veritable fortress, built especially (or protection against Apauliu and Navajo. STOLE HER HUSBAND. Hu leclre Mrs. John O. Van Arhaark, nf New York. New York, Sept. 13.

The steamer Cleveland has arrived from St. Michaels, bringing with her from the Yukon gol.l fields a story of distre 1 and disaster. The miners she bus on Ismrd and officer in charge of the ship tell a stroy of disorder and di tress at Dawson. Winter hu set in at the mining city of the frozen north, and the two great stores of the place have closed their disirs, for they have nothing to sell. Those w ho have Is-en reeking gold must now seek for fissl or starve. While there may be a tendency to exaggerate the actual communis oi affairs, there can lie no question that famine threatens all the venturesome men and women who made their way to tho Klondike. Hundreds of linrulv spirit are flak ing to Dawson. Threats of violence are being made on every side. hnormoii prices are now Isung paid for ftssl at Dawson, and it is imisis- siblo thut more than four vessel with provision can reach that camp lieforo the river free7.es. Indian ition meetings, heuvy with murmured threat of vengeance, have la-en held at SU Michaels by those who see no hoo of advancing up the river, ami less of getting back to civilization. Thu llrst sign of w inter are apparent on the river Yukon, which is U'gin niug to fieez, und in a few weeks will be closed against all navigation. A mishap has come to the Kxeelsior, and from the frozen north comes the story of another disaster in which 4i men lost their lives. On thu Cleveland there are SH pas sengei who have come from Dawson City. There are few miners in this party that are able to tell of prosjs'nty. Most of them wish to exaggerate their possessions, and if ono were to Udievo the imleli'.iite stories they tell hu would K.iy the treasure ship with which they come carried f li, 000, 000. Captain Hall, of the Cleveland, say he has f 1 00, 000 inhissafe. The purser be lieves he can account for (150,000 on board. The Cleveland left Ht. Michael August 'iU.

When the announcement was made con sternation seized u Kin tho people of Dawson, with gold seekers crowding in at the rate of 'JO to 30 per day. Drunk enne a und disorder, gambling and idleness wero rampant. At St. Michaels the condition of affairs is also thu cause of gravest con cern. There are not enough structures in town io nccoinmoilute the crow. I, and scores of the cople are living in tent. Shortly Isfore the Cleveland left St. Michaels two eXeditions, those of the National City ami of the South ('oast, held indignation meetings, threatening dire vengeance upon those who had brought them there and then were unable, to carry them further. On August 20 the Kxeelsior left St Michael with a large number of min ers and a largo quantity of gol.l. lie ports wero current that her treasure amounted to a million dollars. Soon after leaving St. Michaels the Excelsior was caught on the dangerous Mat of the Yukon and broke two propeller. When the Cleveland reached Ounalaskit she found the Kxeelsior un dergoing repairs. It is probable she left Ounalaskii last Monday. Shortly before the Cleveland left fir Seattle on her journey home the United I States revenue cutter Hear put into St. Michaels to tell another story of death and disaster in the ice-bound Arctic. The Hear had on board Cap tain Whiteside, his wife, tho first and fourth ofll cers ami four seamen of the steam whaler Nevach. They are all that remain to tell u terrible story of death in mi ice pack. Other crew were lost. Thirty-one were crushed in the ice und ten frozen to death. The Hear saw the vessel's signals of distress near Point Harrow, and went to her assistance. The captain, his wife, two ofllcers und four seamen were persuaded to leave the crippled ship, but nine others positively refused to go. They were left on a desolate field of ice, and it is feare.l jieritdicilwith their comrades. The terrible tale of suffering told by Captain Whitesides and his officers forms but an incident in the story that the t levelaml brings. It was believed Caused by the Disobedience of Orders.

Accident In EmKiria, Kan., Sept. 13. Twelve known dead, one missing (probably incinerated) and 14 injured, two of whom will likely die, i the record of the terrible head-end collision on the Santa Fe, as known tonight. It is not positively known that thu list given is complete, and it is believed thut several were burned to death and nothing left by which they could be recognized. The bodies of 11 huve been taken from the debris, three burned beyond recog nition. Nothing could bo found of the re mains of the Wclls-Fargo messenger, J. F. Saner. A handful uf charred Ihiiics taken from tho wreck, however, are supposed to be his. Near them was found his watch. Human ghouls delved in the burning wreckage ami plundered the baggage ami mail sacks which strewed tho ground. One man tried to snatch a ades of her diamond from the breast of an Emporia doctor who, weak und nervous, was creeping slowly out of tho debris. Ho had strength enough left to hit the brute u blow in tho face, which made him turn with u curse and sneak away. Mail sack wero dragged into tho corn field ami rifled. The reHirt of the Kansas City inist- oflice is that practically all of the mail on both the wrecked Santa Fo trains was destroyed. Ono pouch, however, for Southern California, on the west Uuind train, is said to have been saved. This train carried a large mail from New York city H California. Colorado, New Mexico atfd Arizona. No official report has lieon received here. Trains over the Santa Fo will be run by way of Ottawa for a few days. The cost of the wreck to thu railway i esti mated at 100,000.

Their furniture wa car ried into the house again, and Puke, his family and several friond installed Ihemselve there, prepared to make ! trouble for the deputies if they again attempted to evict them, i At 1 o'clock Superintendent Samuel C. und Thomas DeArmitt, with Deputy Sheriff Young and a Msse of 23 special deputies apK-ured, and the eviction wa j nil done over ugin. A party of 20 , women from the neighborhood hud withered, and nearly all of thu striking ; miners from Cump Isolation were pres ent. They jeered the DcArmitts. The women were armed with baseball but, ' pick und other things. They con lucted themselve in such a belligerent manner that the DeArmitt were glad to remain within door while the evio , tion was going on. Mr. DeArmitt ' :ame out on the porch, and asked the J men and women if they would permit j him to muke a few remark. They con tented to hear w hat he hud to say, und he entered into an explanation of the contracts which the miner hud made I with the company, the purpose being ' to show to the assembled people thut the company was not doing more than I it had a right to do. Then he launched j into a discussion of the strike, and said the men hud only themselves to blame ; for their troubles, for they had allowed themselves to be led, and their leaders had simply sold out again. Mr. De Armitt concluded by inviting Dilling ham, leader of the striking miner ut Plum Creek, to reply to hi charge. Mr. Dillingham accepted the invita tion, and the result wa a period of warmth that threatened to become a riot. Dillingham made a denial of Dc Armitt's accusation, and asked fur proof of the charges. Ho wound up his remark hy denouncing Thomas li. DeArmitt us a "grinning liar." Cheers came from the assembled miners and wouieu, and Deputy Sheriff Young came from tho house. Young essayed to place Dillingham under ur rest, but that man appealed to somo ol the deputies who wero in a wagon to prove his assertion that DeArmitt hud invited him to make a speech. The striking miners moved forward to the support of their leader, and Young con cluded not to make the arrest. Dillingham succeeded iu getting the strikers to return to their camp, but the women remained, and remarked that they wished to get at the Do Ariuitts. Tho latter stayed iu the House to avoid double. The evicted families moved theii goods into stables in the neighborhood, and began housekeeping in these quar ters. Late tonight it is resirted from Hraddock that a number of deputie, who had been concerned in tho evic tions at Plum Creek, got into n row with a crowd of strikers, the result be ing that threedeputies are under arrest.
