A terrible rict occurred in the Stickle Hollow Pennsylvania coke region. Thursday morning. Strikers attacked the workers and were repelled by deputy sheriffs. The battle occurred at daybreak, when 1,890 strikers attacked the deputies in Washington Run. Eight strikers were killed and ten wounded. The strikers madlf’ two ineffectual attempts this week to bring out the men. Wednesday the strikers arranged to meet with the Youghioghenv and Fourth Pool men and attack Washington Run in a body. The men left Fayette City at 11. o’clock Wednesday night, and were joined by others enroute. Most of the strikers were Hungarians and Slavs. The plant is so far back in the country that the actual facts have not been received a: this hour, although late reports say that eight were killed. The first case against O’Malley, at Crown Point, came to an abrupt termination, Thursday, and the jury was discharged because of charges made against juryman Stearns,who was cited to appear and show cause-why he should not be fined for contempt of court O'Malley’s trial will not bo resumed until the last week in August.
