Tragedy at East St. Iouis

ST. Louis, July 2l-[special - This
morning there occurred in East 81. Louis
tragedy that, by some, is attributed to
the telegraphers' strike. At about 3 O'Clock
this morning Watchman Mclean. of ths
Baltimore q Ohio Telegraph companv
reached his station, about half a mile ilorib
OF the railway depot. Two men are EN-.
ployed there to watch the wires during The
night, and Mclean relieves them M the
hour above named. He saw three man
lurking behind some freight cars standing
on the Wabash track, Mclean got up on
enc OF the cars TO see what the man
were doing, and was promptly greeted
by pistol shot, which strnck
his left arm below the elbow. He called
out to the men, "For Gods sake moi To
shoot again." as he was not molestinv
them. Their reply was another pistol shot
which struck him In the back Of the hand,
then load Of buckshot was fred, tearing
his LETT side fearfully. He fell from the car
and was found little after O'Clock IN an
unconscious condition. After being revived
he told the story Of the shooting. There IA
no lust reason to attribute the shooting 10
the striking telegraphers, although Mclean
was in the employ of the telegraph com.
pany. He says he thinks the men WIRE
car thieves. At dark Mclean was stiII
alive but with small prospects Of recovery,
