warning could be sent to the peo
I le at iMoovewood. About three
o'clock the party marched to
Moorewood. In the meanwhile
tbe wiies were hurriedly repaired,
an i word sent to Moorewood that
the strikers would attack the
works in three places, and had a
well laid plan iti destroy the
plant. T:ie ,s!,eri!l w.is f-oi.ii in
readme".- to receive :m attack.
The mi n were divided into three
parli-v. Captain l.auer, having
i linr-.-e the parly, vuis placed
..(-hind I he big gale of the bain
and stable enclosnie. An the riot
cih pa.s-ed the enniptiiy's store
they ruided ita:el matched to tbe
ha. n and attempted to break the
.'.ite. They Kticeeeded in doing i!,
an 1 as they enteitd Cajitaiu
l.ina r called" out to them to halt
or be woul 1 lire. Their answer
was "lire!'' and a rattling volley
in the direction ui the deputies,
:i iii. ol whom were Keriolis'y
wounded. C'aptiin l.auer then
gave the word to lire, and two
volleys were tired before the moh
broke and ran. Kleven men fell
dead )n the road, and the wounded
ate estimated as high as twenty
seven. The deputies v b took part in
the riot are experienced men,
armed to the teeth. l.uM night
Superintendent Pickard told them
i laid was contemplated on the
wefks, and pre.-enled each man
with a Winchester. "I have
promised protection,'' he said, "to
o . r men, and I must give it tj
them; when the laiders come
u'.cv me. l ire ttie Inst Hliot in
lir. If they dj not retreat, lire a
second shot, and keep tiring w line
you have ammunition. 1'rotect
the property, protect tin; men at
work, and protect voir likes. A
man in my employ who runs 1
will shoot dead. Any loan who is
not willing to accept my terms
will please drop into the rear, and
I will send ill tik home under :
guard. Is everybody s.itisiied .""
asked the superintendent.
"Yes, yes,'" rang out all along
the line.
Kach man was supplied with 20
cartridges, and, under command
of ten sergeants, m.uche 1 to a
convenient point.
All night the strikers were pre
paring for a raid. I cl(va!ions.
headed by drum cjrps. marched
to and fro to the places of ren
dezvous. Occasional pistol shoti
colli I be heard in thedistance.now
and then a rocket Hashed into the
air, and from the hill tops around
lights could be seen. There were
three parties of sti iker-; i re came
from Sleeneviile.and another froui
Moorewood, and the otiier from
the mines in the neighbor. iood.
The were very noisy, cheering
and shouting and beating drums
as they came. The three patties
met, and decided to make a march
on the works.
Some of the strikers say to-day
that there was no intention of l -ing
any damage, but they marched
to the works to intiauda'e the men
at woik.
The dead this morning were
carried into the. company's stole at
Moorewood. The etnkers de
manded the Indies, Lilt were
refused, and the place is now sur
rounded by an armed moh of 2000
u.on, who say they will hum
everythinir on the premises, unless
lilt dead l.odies are given tin m.
The feeling is vety bitltr among
tli ! woiktnen, who denounce the
.iciion of the deputies in no uncer
tain terms.
The Slavonians and Hungarians
pre wild. Ail over the region the
most intense excitement prevails.
ireat en wds are coming in on
eveiy tiain, and the highways are
thickly peopled. It is openly de
clared by the strikers thhl they
will have reveice for their com
panions. Tiny have transferred
their attention from the plant-" to
the deputies, whom they vow they
w ill kill. They say at the same
time the works will be demolished.
Word has been passed to the strik
ers all rver the region that the
shooting was without provocHtion ;
that no violence had been ottered,
and their anathemas on hearing
these reports are deep and stiong.
Ominous signs of a gathering
sorm in the coke region have
been observed for sonr- time, a- d
at two o'clock this morning it
burst at Moorewood plant. Two
rounds of cartridges were tired by
a band of sixty-live guards, and
i-even of the charging mob of
strikers fell dead, while at least
forty others were wounded, how
badly cannot be definitely stated,
as they were all taken awav by
their comradef. The suikers
killed instantly were: Cre..o
lliniro, Italian; John I'udora ;
Antonio Kist, Pole; Jacob Shuck-askvj-l'ole
; James I'.rochto, Pole;
Valentine Zeidel, Slav; Paul lo-hani-is,
Slav.
The firing on both si ii ' co.if.i
ued hardly threo ininuies. The
volleys from the guards had a ter
rible effect on the compnet mass of
strikers, while the latter made an
attempt to return the lire with
what weapons they possessed, but
without ellect. 1 lie dead wete
left lying on the load, while the
wounded, (Bi.nated at between
forty and fifty, were either assisted
or bodily carried away into the
hills by their fellows. All day
the entire coke regions have pre
sented scenes of the wildest ex
citement. The foreign element
has especially been driven frantic
by this woeful result of their antic
ipated victorious raid. Always
turoulent, sullen, and ready for
despbinUj measures, they are not
lt-it -cowed by the death of
several of thl-ir number, and
many of whom were wounded
unto death. Anathemas lou i and
deep have been heard on every
side ail day, and word lias Keen
sent by secret means all over the
region I hat their comrades w ere
fiied on and mowed down without
any 1'iovocalion, and tha deally
.ef'geance on each and every
member of the guards has been
swore to. This all comes from the
foreign element.
It will be noticed that ad tbe
men killed bear foreign names
and it is a fact that not one of
them was a nat nralized cili.i-n of
this country. It is also supposed
many of the wounded were .for

Late to-night word was received
here that two more men concerned
in the riot had died in the strik

As tbe men killed were all un

arising have been freely discussed.

Some of the acts of the late
legislature seems to have been
misdirected. For instance it is
said by the Statesman repoiter
that in attempting to extend
Salem's city liuiites, tbe late
legislature made an oversight
which (ids oil' a portion of territory
which has been inside the limits
for many years. Recorder Goodell,
in making the assessment of city
property , discovered the comission.
Forme ly tbe store of W. L. Wade,
in Norib Salem, was a part of the
city, but under tbe new law this
store and all of whnt was formerly
known as I'.oon's island is omitted.
This island lies between' North
Mil! creek and the old race and
tmorac.es the iMincan planing mill,
the meat market, Wade's store,
the bheksmith shop, the old
woolen mill site, and several houses
about them. In all about $12,000
of assessable property which uwed
to be in the city is now out in the
cold and is once more a part of
North Salem. Fortunately much
of the island is unoccupied, or the
assessment would Ik st:ll fntker
reduced.
