STRIKE HORRORS.
FIENDISH BRUTALITY. By Telegraph.—Press Asan.—Copyright. New York, June 23. The latest reports from Herrin show that the massacre was more ghastly even than at first believed. The bodies of five women, some with infants in their arms, were found beaten to death. One refugee declared that he saw 15 miners’ bodies thrown into the lake with rocks round their necks. Others, tied to gether, were dragged behind a motor-car down a rocky road, and then allowed to lie in the hot sun with their wounds unattended to. They were refused water. Two thousand troops are mobilised at Chicago and Springfield ready to proceed to the mine-fields in case of renewed outbreaks.
