of it read as follows.
"If any person, owing allegiance to tie

THE HOMESTEAD STRIKERS
STILL STANSINCI OUT.
Tha Advisory Board Issues an Address).
More Troops Recalled. What
It Has Coat Both Sides.
The beginning of the fourth month of tht
world famous Homestead strike finds tha
situation still decidedly Interesting. The
Carnegie Steel Company Is as determined
as ever to operate Its works with non-nnloa
men. During the pant three months up
ward of 4,000 men have been given employ
ment at the works. Of this number abcul
2,200 reciuln and are being instructed, at
great cot t to the company. In the art of
making irteel. The company does not claim
that the new men are operating the plant
successfully, but It appears determined to
slick to It, cost what It may, until the plan t
turns out the old-time product. It is cstl
tltnoted by some that up to dale the strike
has cost the firm over l,7.r0,000.
There have been defections from th
ranks of the strikers to the number of about
200. but the main body claim to be In act,
although a wavering spirit has manifested
Itself. Some Idea of the loss the men have
sustained may be hod from the fact that
about 30,000 wo paid out In waf.es every
two weeks prior to the strike.

THK ADVISORY ROARD IHSItKS Alt AIHlREi-B.
The a visory committee Issued the follow
ing: "The opening of the fourth month of
our tight finds us more sanguine than on the
a till of August. We are yet umply supplied
with money, and what is mora Important
at this time, with enthusiasm. We rind
among the very large mujnritv of our men
a surprising amount of energy In working
lor our side. They are indefatigable and
teem to divine Instantly where it is iKissibla
to score a point from the firm. Very many
desertions of skilled men have been brought
about by energetic proselyting on the part
of the rank and rile, who watch for weeks
for an opportunity to confer with the work
ers, and when once brought face to face
with them are S'icc ssful iu their argument.
"There has not been a single desertion
from the ranks of the Amalgamated Associa
tion. The reports that five men went back
iu ihe past two days is untrue, for not one
of the live was in the organization. Tha
mechanical departments meet to-night to
lomple'e their organization, and also to
deny the statement that the machinist do
sire lo work at the company's terms. Al
together tbe advisory board feels Justified,
at the Inception of another month in th
wage struggle. In extending congratulations
lo the lockeJ-out men and strikers, ex-p-essliigcuuA&AW
in ultimate victory."
AN OUTLAW'S DEATH-
Frank Cooley 8hot a-d Ins'antly Hill
ed Near Fairohance, Pa
Frank Cooley, the leader of the notorloui
Cooley gang, was shot and killed Instantly
Sunday afternoon about 5 o'e'ock at the
lr.uue of hit father, "Lute' Coiley, between
Fuirchanco and Mnithllald, Pa.
Tbe authorities some time ago decided
that their frequent raids into the moun
tains would never capture the gang, and
they changed their tatics. George Fisher,
a United States secret service detective from
Hagerstown, Md.; Frank Pegg, of Union
town; Policeman Hartley, of Falrchance,
and other have been lying about the
neighborhood for the past three week a
Tbey observed that the gang came down
from their mountain retreat to old man
Cooley' every Sunday for three Sundays
nndatp'sed themselves playing cards aud
drinking.
The Sherif) concluded that they would do
this again lust Minduy mid prepared to nmk
a capture. F.uriy in tho morning Sheriff
McCoriniik antra few deputies irom here
llipiied out quietly to Fuirchance before
daylight to avoid tliespirs of the gang, and
Joined the watchers in the fie d. Frank
i'ooloy and "Jack" Ramsey, the two most
daring of the gang, came riding down in
the Cooley house about noon, and in the
afternoon went buck of ihe house in'oa
field which had been lately cleared of tim
ber and wus full of stumps.
When the Sheriff's party came down Oil
them Ramsey and Cooly were both hslf-ly-ing
and hull-sitting against stumps, with
their Winchesters beside them. HlierifT Mc
cormick wus in advance, and while some
distance oil Cooley spied them. He and
Ramsey fired five times at the Hheriff with
out getting up. but all their bullet missed
blm. The Sheriff had meantime taken ref
uge behind a tree, and from this place fired
Ihe bull that pierced Cooley's heart as i e
lay against the stump, killing him instantly-
A number of shots were fired at the out
laws by other members of the Sheriffs
posse. Rumsey started off on a run as soon
a he saw his chief was killed, with some of
the Sheriff's party ou hi heels, racing ufter
him and firing a they run, but he gjt
away. Coroner Holbert, of Fuirchance,
was summoned and held an inquest on the
body of the outlaw, an I he now lie at the
home of hi father. The greutest excite
ment prevails in the southern end of the
county, and a feeling of relief is felt over
the death of the outlaw leader.
Frank Cooley is tbe second of the gang (o
die a violent death, his brother Juck bein
shot with a spring gun a few mouths ago
while trying lo rob the spring hou-e of a
furmer named Collier. John Rumsey
is the only member of the original lobber
now remaining. Rriutou Freyo
and the Montanan have Joined
him and Ramaev during the pat year.
If heescaies tiuully from the officer h
will naturally become the leader. He is a
comparative struuger to the people of the
district iu which the desperadoes have been
operating, and so r the remaining mem
ber nt the iiuug. Coo y wa raised umoini
them mid Ihe official have complained that
Ihe people of lieorgea township, or a great
u umber of them, were shielding him.
