One of the Mexicans is said to have told the officers that when Portenzio Mora heard that his younger brother had been shot he became encrazed and stepped into the room, shooting wildly at everybody. The shots went in various angles and men were crawling in every direction to escape getting hit, while others were standing up emptying their guns at each other. Windows were broken and men tried to escape through them. Others hid under the mattresses in the bunks while others again crawled out of the bunkhouse.

Bullets were whistling in every direction, going through the partitions of the bunkhouse, into mattresses, through pillows on the beds and through the ceiling. Surprise was expressed by the residents of the camp when they learned that Protenzia Mora and his younger brother Antonio figured in the shooting. The brothers have been at Dividend off and on for the past three years and have been in every respect. With the exception of gambling they are not kown to have had any bad habits. They had seldom been seen drinking and always carried themselves at gentlemen. Both o fthem were careful and neat dressers and their wardrobe contained many costly suits. From the fact that those who were injured in the shooting and those who were present in the room when the trouble started are loath to reveal very ninny of the details o ftlin shooting, it has been difficult for the officers to clear up the little English an interpreter been assisting the officers.

As guests of the Koppers company and the Columbia Steel corporation these men wiU watch with interest the beginning of actual operations of the new plant. No one with the exception of the invited guests and the steel officials will be permitted to le present at the blowing in of the plant. The completion of the coke oven is an important, perhaps the most important, event of the entire operations of the steel corporation. Upon the results obtained, it is said, rests the future of the activities of the Columbia Steel corporation in this section. If the results are up to the expec-atioof its producers, it is said that the byproducts plant may be the chief part of the activities of the steel corixirntioii and instead of it being secondary to the blast furnace, the blast furnace may be oper ated for the sake of the that may be obtained. Should this be the consequence then hundreds of industries never liefore figured into the program of operations may come to this section and build their plants.
