The nailers, however, suspected trouble, and refused to open the door. A shot was fired, it is claimed, from the outside, when the men from their inside barricade opened np a rapid firing from the heavy revolvers with which they were «tfmed. Some fifteen shots were fired, and the windows were badly riddled, but fortunately no one IMS hurr, so far as known. _ The watchman claims that'the men ware' masked and all armed. The probability is that most of tbs crowd o*me from Ashland, where the samj trouble exists.
