Hazelton, Pa., Sept. 18. 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.

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-

view to aiding tho civil authorities in

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

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

At St. Michaels the condition of

On August 20 the Kxeelsior left St

amounted to a million dollars. Soon
after leaving St. Michaels the Excelsior

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

There are in all probability
human being in the burning mass.
Shortly after the collision occurred
the baggage, day coach and tourist
sleeper caught lire, while one Pullman
! and a special car from the minimal
St. .Joseph railroad remained on thu
I track.
The fault is said to lie with the train
! crew of the extra.
; Detail of the wreck are hard to oh

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.
As the passenger und trainmen re

they looked for the injured and dead.

women were armed with baseball but,

lucted themselve in such a belligerent
manner that the DeArmitt were glad
to remain within door while the evio

J men and women if they would permit

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
