Another gang went to the molding-room and
broke the TASKS and destroyed castings; others
visited the superintendents and shipping clerks
Offices and wrecked them. The fire hose was cut
so as TO render it useless. The announcement
that troops were coming stopped the work of
destruction which already amounted to thou
sands of dollars. Whenever watchman or an
employe who wanted to work was found he was
maltreated. The foremen of departments had
to fee for their lives. D. S. Hoffman, at
the head of the shipping department, was
met by a delegation, examined to see If
he was armed, and his life threatened
if he came near the works. Aug. Yonquist, a
Swede and foreman in one of the paint shops,
was made to run gauntlet between rows of
Polanders who beat him with clubs until he fell
exhausted and insensible Charles Anderson a
Swede and superintendent of construction, had
to flee for his life. Mr. Stoch, the time keeper,
was seriously injured. He fired his revolver at
his assailant, but was overpowered and had it
wrested from him. George Sutherland, Swan
Krussel, Abe Kentner NJ Blum and several
other employees were mercilessly beaten by the
Poles before the arrival of the troops. After
their arrival the arrests began, and fifteen of the
Poles were secured and marched to the Jail, where
they are at present The Poles threaten to
rescue them to night, but have not yet made an
attempt A detachment of troops is guarding
the jail, and mob will meet with warm re-
cepton. Another detachment is on duty at the
Oliver works. and Mayor Loughman has.made
arrangements to call out additional men by
alarm bells, in case they are needed.
At 8 o'clock tonight the Veteran Guards of
Eikhart arrived here On special train. A part
of them are quartered at the G. A. R. hall to
aid in protecting the Jail, and the rest at the
Oliver works The Poles are quiet night
but boast they will attempt to attack the works
in the morning at daylight.
The Poles claim that the victory is theirs to-
day; that they are satisfied with the
situation and in the morning pur-
pose making another demonstration If
they do, bloody work will follow, for it has been
determined that no more property shall be
destroyed or workingmen who are willing to
work injured. The Poles acknowledge that the
sole cause of the trouble is that they want
