Me Attempts to Evict Strikers and is At- tack ScorrparE, Pa.,April 23.—Shortly after noon today Sheriff MeCormick with deputies began making evictions at Leisenring, No.3. While attending to his duties a Hungarian woman named Glasko shot at him, the ball inflicting a painful flesh wound in the hand. The sheriff grappled with the woman and wrested the revolver from her. ‘The infuriated woman then secured an ax, and as the sheriff persisted in his attempts to evict her she attacked him with the weapon, giving him an ugly cut on the foot. McUor- mick then drew a revolver and shot the woman in the leg. By this time a great crowd of strikers bad gathered and one Hungarian made for the sheriif. McCormick pluckily stood his ground and shot the man in the mouth. ‘The deputies were gathered in'a knot by this time and the evictions were carried through. It is not belioved any one of the three partics shot is fatally injured. Sheriff McCormick is still at Leisenring, No. 8. Capt. Frazer and the greater part of com- my © are there.

The reaction was sharp enough to wipe out the early gains in some cases, and in the Goulds and industrials, which advanced so rapidly yesterday, to cause declines of 3 to 3¢ below the opening figures. The market steadied toward the end of the hour, however, and at 11 o'clock it was again steady to firm and active at small fractions above the opening prices. Money is casy at 3!ja4 per cent. The stock market continued very active after 11 o'clock, although there was a marked decrease from the exceptional business of the first hour.
