BIG RIOT AT II, PENN
Men, Women and Children Involved
in Desperate ltattlo.
NONE SERIOUSLY INJURED
It Orew Out ofR AVrestlluc Mntoli nnd
Wns a Hot Ouo Soventron I,nw
hults Instituted Acntnst
Participants.
The ordinarily peaceful hamlet of Win.
l'enu was stirred up Saturday night ly a
riot in which men, women and children
participated, and several of them suffered
from Hying rocks, although none were
hurt seriously. Several pistol shots were
fired hut no one was hit. Constable "Joe"
Peters had a narrow escape from one of the
shots. No less than seventeen law suits
have followed the affair. The combatants
have sued each other on charges of assault
and inciting riot.
Justice Williams had one of the cases
before him yesterday, but only as commit
ting magistrirte and no evidence was heard.
Lewis Bender, the hotelkeeper of Wm.1
Peun, was arrested by Constable Phillips
on a charge preferred by William Taggert,
who says Bender discharged a revolver
during the riot and threatened to kill
people. Bender was put under 5500 bail.
Eight cases were Instituted by Bender
and his friends, Saturday night, before
Justice Green at Win. 1'eun against
William Taggert and his family and
several friends. All were put under bail
to answer charges of assault and battery,
disturbing the peace aud inciting riot.
Today Constable Phillips went to Wm.
l'enu to execute nine warrants in addi
tional cases instituted by the Taggerts and
others against Bender and several who
sided with him In the melee.
According to what appears to be one of
the most reliable versions of the affair two
men named Jacob Metz and "Brock" Tag'
gart were wrestling iu front of Bender's
hotel when somebody threw a stone that
struck Jletz on the head. This precipitated
a clashing of factions that brought forth a
volley of stones and several of them shat
tered the windows of Bender's hotel. It
Is stated that Bender, without waiting to
ascertain the cause of the attack on his
place, commenced throwing beer glasses
through the shattered window panes and
then rushed out of the saloon to the road
with a revolver In one hand and a Mllet in
the other, threatening to "cleau out the
patch." It also appears that several women
In Bender's house ran out and filled their
aprons with stones, declaring that they
would , help the saloonkeeper to "kill the
Englishmen." Bender fired several shots
from the revolver, but whether they were
directed upwards into the air or at the
crowd ' lias not been learned. Nobody
was hit, however, by the bullets. A hot
aud goueral fight followed and several of
the participants wero injured, but none
seriously. A boy named Francis, who
seemed to sutler more than anybody else,
had his upper Hp so badly spilt that his
teeth were exposed. It is alleged that
Bender subsequently went to the house oc
cupied by Justice Green and while there
discharged his revolver recklessly. One
bullet was spent at Constable Peters' head
and barely missed it. Several windows In
the house of William Richards were shat
tered by stones duriug the riot.

The parade of thu Columbia II. & S. F
E. Co., which took place Saturday after
noon was quite n success, although not ns
large as it would havobeen had the weather
permitted it on Friday. Many of the mer
chants had prepared displays and closed
their places of business for tho tlmo origi
nally fixed nnd could not afford to repeat
the preparations for Saturday. Tho line of
parade was as follows:
Chief Marshals.
Police Force,
i Grant Baud,
j Rescue II. & L. Co.
jPhiuulx Hose Company.
(Columbia Hose Company,
f Fantastlcs on horseback.

Darktown Fire Brigade.
Floats of Ed. Breuuau, A. Womer,
Thomas" Waters, Columbia Brewery, Ed
mund Harris, Chas. Hooks & Son, John T.
Graf, J. P. Williams and Indian Ridge
colliery!
The displays were very creditable and
showed that the businessmen of the town
are capable of getting up an excellent
industrial parade when disposed to do so.
Unfortunately for the company t heplc-
nic was not a financial success, although
no actual loss was sustained. It was the
first picnic held by the company during Its
existence of twenty-five years that failed
to achieve financial success.
On Thursday the company will have
its twenty-fifth annual outing aud the
members, their families and friends will
spend the day at Lakeside. The Grant

FATAL 0ASE OF SUNSTROKE.
Itnttlirnn's Funeral Took I'lnco nt
Girardville Today Children's
Dny In tho United Evan
gelical Clmrcli.
People who wero passengers on the west
bound car of the Schuylkill Traction lino
that passed Cleary's crossing, at about ten
o'clock last night, received a bad scare.
The fright was not without cause, for the
car roso In tho air and threatened to topple
over an embankment, and It was close to
n trestlo where n drop might have had fatal
efl'ect. Tho autics of the car were caused
by a cow that attempted to cross tho track.
AVhen the accident occurred the car was
running at a pretty lively speed and was
not half a dozen feet from tho trestle. It
struck tho cow with great force. The front
end of the car rose high in the air, throw.
ing the passengers towards the rear, aud
the rear wheels kept in motion, so that
when the car descended the motor pinned
the cow to the track by the apparatus
uuder the middle of the car.
It required some work to get the car
right again and when this was done it was
found that the cow was dead, but had no
marks upon it. The supposition is that tho
weight of the car In its descent crushed
the life out of the animal. The passengers
wero pretty well shaken up, but none
sustained Injury. When thoy saw how
close to the trestle tho car was several
seemed to become affected by fright more
than at the time of the accident.
