Everett Citizens Deny Them Landing. The Verona reached Everett shortly short-ly before 2 o'clock. The coming of the party of invaders had been announced an-nounced in messages sent to Everett from Seattle headquarters. A call to Industrial Workers of the World members mem-bers from all over the state had been issued earlier in the week and the citizens of Everett at a meting held Saturday night planned to meet the invaders and deny them privilege of landing. When the Verona reached the city wharf Sheriff McRae. who was backed back-ed by a posse of deputy sheriffs and citizens, stepped forward and informed inform-ed the men on the boat that they would not be permitted to land. One j of the men, evidently spokesman for the party, began arguing with the bUUUlL itUU l 11 U1UUU U. SlUUULl. Apparently as a signal, the man dropped his hand and armed men on the steamer opened fire on the posse assembled on the wharf. The first man to fall was Sheriff McRae, seriously seri-ously injured. One man was killed instantly and in a moment the crowd on shore was panic-stricken. |
