HISTORY OF SCOTIA
By Harry M. Williams
In about 1806 there Was quite an
excitement around the Scotia mines
When the morning train arrived
from Tyrone two detectives got off,
walked up to the company office
and inquired if there was a man
working there by the name of Sim-
eon Gunshot
They were wid that he worked
at the ore washer, After a few min-
utes conversation with the superin-
tendent and the foreman, they ask-
ed If they could go up and talk with
the man. They were taken up to No
1 grate bars where Mr. Gunshot
was working
Upon their arrival there they
looked things over and one of the
detectives walked over to Mr. Gun-
shot and read a warrant to him, and
since he was not able to understand
English very well an Interpreter
translated the warrant to him. He
at once tried to make a getaway but
to help, as this man wis very pow-
erful. He was handcuffed and tak- there were about twenty of them, pridge, one end of it dropping into
“Yes, yes, these all my the river, Of some 18 persons on the!
where he was questioned very close- brothers!” But this got to be an old span at the time of the accident,|
en down to the company office
but during these minutes the son
was outside asking permission to be
in with his father and mother but
was denied the privilege. An elderly
lady who was standing outside
opened the office door and shoved
the boy In*This boy had a great love
for his father and with a pocket
knife he tried to cut the ropes and
free his father, but was overpowered
and put outside and told to stay
there. Mr. Gunshot was taken away
on the evening train and nothing
more was ever heard of him
During the earlier years of the
operations of Scotia, quite a number
of Hungarians worked there as well
as some other foreigners. Ohe of the
Hungarians had asked the boss to
employ his brother until there began
to be quite a number of brothers, or
at Jeast the boss thought so. So one
day Mike came to the boss to get
having just landed there at the
mines and the boss sald, “Mike, are
these fellows all your brothers?” as
