ONLY ONE SHOT WAS FIRED Btrikers Were Persuading Deputies Not to Enter Colliery, When One of Them Fired at Close Range—Cool Heads Prevented Riot. Nesquehoning, Pa., Aug. 19.-—In a clash between striking mine and deputies here last night, Patrick Sharp, a striker, of Lansford, was shot and killed almost instantly by a deputy. erable excitement for a time, but or der was soon restored without any other persons being injured. A deputy charged with the Killing of Sharp, and was taken to the county jail at Mauch Chunk. The shooting occurred shortly after 6 o'clock. Five deputies were on their way to shaft No. 1 of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, just outside of the town. ers, who began persuading them not to go to the colliery. The officers did not stop, but kept on their way and | tried to prevent trouble. The strikers, it is sald, then began to abuse the men and followed them nearly up to the colliery. There are any conflicting stories as to what actually | brought on the clash, but just before | ground. The bullet entered his body close to his heart, and he died almost instantly, Wilnesses say shooting was done by McElmoyle, and that he stood only six or seven feet from Sharp when he fired ver. Only one shot was fired. The deputies immediately withdrew to the and a large crowd gathered about the place. When it was that Sharp was dead there was the greatest indignation among the strikers and other town people, and for a time it looked as though serious trouble would follow Cooler heads among the ers, however, prevailed upon the erowd to disperse, using the argument that if there is any bloodshed troops would surely be sent here from Shenandoah The crowd dispersed and tho town soon calmed down to its normal state, colliery learned Witnesses to the shooting went to | the office of W. R. Watkins, the jus tice of the peace, and made informa tion against Harry McElmoyie, charg: | ing him with the shooting of Sharp. The justice placed the warrant in the | hands of Constable Deckert, who found | McElmoyle at shaft No. 1, and, ac companied by a guard of other offi cers, took his prisoner to the county jail at Mauch Chunk. Another version of the encounter says that Sharp and three friends met the party of five deputies, who were on their way to work, and that Sharp walked up to one of the men, presum- ably McEimoyle, called him an “unfair worker,” and told him that he would | “be more of a man if he did not wear a star.” He then made a lunge at the officer, whereat the latter drew his re- volver and fired, and that Sharp fell | to the ground dead. After the shooting the five officers made their way to the Nesquehoning colliery, where they were employed among the strikers, and when the news of his death spread the entire Panther Creek Valley was thrown Into a turmoil ‘When his body arrived at his home in Lansford a mob of about 500 miners had gathered. After the dead striker had been carried home about half the mob started on a march over the moun- tain to Nesquehoning to wreak ven geance upon the deputies. Before they reached there the five officers were eépirited away and taken to Mauch Chunk under a heavy guard Baird Snyder, assistant superintend- ent of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, appealed to General Gobin, in command of the detachment of the National Guard now on duty at Shen- andoah, to send troops to Lansford to preserve order. He sald that the en- tire Panther Creek Valley from Nes- quehoning to Mauch Chunk was in a rictous state, and that serious trouble was feared. General Gobin sald that he could not send troops until an ap- peal had been made by Sheriff Gombert, Mine Guards Discharged.

They were held in $200 ball each for trial at court Frederick Warnke, the owner of the washery where the riot oceurred, says the acquittal of the deputios will jus tify him In starting up the washory again, and he has served nodes on Sheriff Jacobs that if he does not pro vide ample protection for his work. men and property tomorrow he will make an appeal to the governor for troops.
