The Killedland Wounded i'm Thursdays
Encounter,

CHICAGO, July IA careful review of We g.
terday's work between the mob and united
forces Of police and mounted cavalry shows the
following list of reported casualties. They are
but part of the number who suffered from pis-
toll shots, sabre and club, but the rioters meth
cd of hurrying off the dead and wounded pre-
vents complete list.
Thomas eastman, baker, Thos. Cooley,
Chas. Leary, Edward Peters or Phillips, Mich
ael aassett, McCormic, A. Widney, J. Wal
lace, John Weinert, man name unknown,
Archer Avery, man name unknown lying at
the morgue, Wyentz Nowatholsky, Thomas
Cooley, George Fisher, missing and supposed

hemian who has headed the commune move
ment for years.
Rioters fatally wounded-A. Weany, shot in
the left lung; james McNally. in shoulder;
David Fitzgerald, hand; Frank Newhall.
The list indicates that theI policeAreceived
more injuries in proportion to their number
than the crowd. Such, however. is not the case,
as scores of wounds were inflicted by them and
their friends which were not even seen, much
less reported. The fact that man was acting
in reportorial capacity initiated against him
with the mob, and an inquiry directed to any Of
as to the name or circumstances of killing or
wounding was signal for suspicion of the en-
quirer, and for an attack upon him whenever it
seemed safe. Most of the reporters showed
personal bravery, and many of Them ran great
or risks of life and limb than any others Of the
law and orOer part or the crowd.
Among the incidents was the capture by
Superintendent of Police Hickey OF rioter,
about whose wrist he fastened, cord, and
mounting his horse, hurried the man away to
the station through a crowd of yelling and
opposing ruffians, who showered stones upon
him and his horse. The arrests weee numerous
and constant. Two officers combining them
selves to that branch of service, brought in
twelve rioters and others were not far behind,
A feature of the fights was the frequent par
ticipation OF women, who fired shots from
inside and outside5their houses, hurled invec-
tives, stones and mud Unfortunately at all
who wore white shirts or blue coats Much
dissatisfaction is expressed by the regulars, by
citizens, and by the police themselves at the
orders given the latter through the mayor to
avoid killing whenever possible. The general
belief is that could the mob be made to under
stand thoroughly that no blanks were carried
and no quarter will be given, their valor would
fade away and they wouldI disappear. 1t is
understood that the troops to-day, if called into
action, have given fair notice that when they
shoot it will be with the best aim and the direst
effect possible. 1t is also stated that should the
mob gather and meet the police again, that the
latter are instructed to spare no more lives,
Though the thoroughfares of the city have
been Invested of thieves, tramps and loafers
who usually infest them, and who now have
gone to join the mob, depredations are not
uncommon, and yesterday there were several
robberies in broad daylight. 1t is also stated
that tramps are coming into the city in hopes
of securing through hoped for incendarism
profits that have not accrued to the strikers.
The Mob DemOralized-severaI Riotous
Crowds Broken mp by the Police-The
Situation on the Railroads.
At noon it was reported that crowds were
gathering far out on the prairies, and contem-
plating descent with the stock yard gang as
allies. No cars were allowed to run on Hal
stead street north of the Viaduct. None were
running on Clinton and Jefferson streets, and
the rioters have tried to stop some other lines
but without success. The laborers at the Wes-
tern avenue stables who struck this morning
formed in line, intending to force other stables
into the strike, but were dispersed by the po-
lice. A meeting of sailors and steyedores was
broken up prematurely by the police. At 10 80
the guard of the south side gas works became
alarmed at rumors, and called for reinforce
ments, which were sent. Last night James J.
White, member of the Board of Trade, while
patroling his beat in Lowantale, suburban
village, discovered suspicious character and
arrested him. The tramp suddenly drew a re.
volyer, placed it to Whites forehead and in
st;antly killed him and then escaped. The reg
nlar and special police are at the centre of the
trouble. The citizens, with police powers, are
IN every section of the city. The railroads are
Iesomlng business, both freight and passen.

Their behavior is highly commended bv the
officials. The Michigan Central are runn;n9
all their passenger trains on time east and
west and on all their branches The freight
department will be ready to go to work with it's
old force as soonsas it is certain the company's
property will be protected from the mob.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy pas
senger trains are running along the Quincy line
without trouble. Freight trains are not yet
running n N othing definite regarding the time
OF running OF themiis known but the officers ex-
pect no further trouble.
The Lake, Shore and Michigan South IN is
sending passengers through as usual, but the
freights are small on that line. On the Chica-
60, Rock Island and Pacific business is resum-
ed on every branch and in every department.
All trains are on time. The Chicago and
North Western, although all disturbance has
subsidized, are only running on some of their
branches. The Chicago, Alton and St. Louis
will not move any rolling stock till it is abso-
lutely safe The Fort Wayne road will start
passenger train to-day, but freight is stagnant
with them.
