wounded and ten killed; six police were
wounded.
1l.3O a. m.-Two boys were killed at
Halstead Street Viaduct. One policeman
is reported killed. The mob has dis
persed.
Development, running few trains and
making no terms with the strikers. A
notice has been posted on all u. S. proper
ty by Marshal Hildrup, warning the
rioters that they will be summarily pun
| ished for interfering with it. This in
cludes the Chicago Il Pacific railroad
which is under the military. The power
| of the government will be invoked to en-
force this order. The Audubon Cur club
has called meeting of sportsmen to aid
in preserving order
All cigar makers in the city have struck.
AT this hour the police have dispersed
the crowd on Halstead street where the
fight occurred this morning. Everything
| is quiet there. Mounted police are pa
trolling that section and allow no gather
ing of any kind. The truth about can
non firing seems to be that the artil-
lery z did FIRE two shots
but that the guns were loaded with moth
ing but powder. The number of casual
ties reported is large and the names will
be sent in as soon as obtainable. At pres
ent the mob seems to be pretty well
broken up but probably will gather again
before night.
CHICAGO, July 26.-The mob of last
night gathered in force on the south side
this morning and renewed its depredations
and acts of violence, They began with
some 1000 and swelled to a multitude
before noon They showed savage bravadc
and seemed fearless of death itself. How
ever, when some 300 police under Officer
Ramey charged them they broke up after
a hot encounter, they rallied again shortly
and prepared for another encounter. A
10th street and Halstead Viaduct, an in
terchange of shots, stones and i2vectives
succeeded. then the police being reinforced
broke into the mob with yell that was
heard for blocks away. The reinforce
mentS consisting of new squads o
police and company of armed cavalry
under Col. Agramont began in coniunc
ton with the police deadly onslaught
, the result OF which are imperfectly know
and are reported variously. One repor
which was probably exaggerated, says /.
killed and $50 wounded; another say
three killed and fifty wounded. There ar
certainly more than three killed, n
names can be learned This broke up tn
mob for a time, but they soon gathere
again.
A gang of the mob ran passenger trai
} off the track at 18th street this morning
and after allowing the passengers to es

the several cars. The second regiment

force of Chicago are on the scene of th
= battle. The governor this morning az
piled for L. s. troops.
At 1l.40 the artillery left their quarter
for the scene of conflict, which is now o
