that strikers had forcibly shut down
GAMER, Heaths d Co.'s salt block, and
assistance. He responded with a
number of deputies, and reached the scene
as the strikers were leaving. He ordered
them to dispense, at which they yelled and
hooted at him. He proceeded to talk to
them, bu. they refused to dispense, where
upon he undertook to arrest the one he
thought was the leader. The strikers
interfered, and for some minutes great
disorder reigned. Clubs we're drawn and
used on the officers, and they pulled
revolvers. Sheriff Brennan was shot in
the forehead by an unknown man in the
back Of the crowd. The ball grazed the
skin as the officer happened to turn his
head. He also received a blow on the left
side of the head with a club. He fired two
shots from his revolver, and a few other
shots were exchanged by the officers and
the rioters. When blood began to flow the
rioters began TO dispense in all directions.
The deputies arrested nine men, and now
have them in Jail. Three or four Of the
rioters were wounded This is the first
bloodshed since the third day of the
strike.
Is 1t All q Conspiracy?
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 13.-The defense of
Maxwell, the alleged murderer of Arthur
Preller, will probably be that no murder
was committed at all. About a month ago
a report was published that his life was
heavily insured, and that the companys
had refused to pay the money to his
relatives, claiming that it was a put-up job
to get the insurance, and that the body
found in the trunk was not Preller's at all,
but q subject for a medical college. Ac-
cording to q telegram from San Francisco
Maxwell now says that the conspiracy
theory was correct, and that in due time
he will produce Preller alive and we'll, and
show where he got the body found in the
trunk. The police here boot at this defense,
and still hold that the evidence against
him is sufficient to convict, though they
do not claim to have any other evidence
than what is known to the public. They
do not believe that Preller's life was in.

will arrive here next Sunday.
