AN END.

The Great Packing House Strikers Return
TO Work on the Ten Hour system.
CHICAGO, October 1S.-ShOrtly after noon
a special train was made up at the stock
yards to convey the PinkertoI4 men back TO
Chicago, it having been decided to dispense
with the service of 800 OF them e lay. As
the men marched into the cars they we're
greeted with yells OF der ion by the crowd
of strikers that surrounded the trains. As
the train started the crowd yelled, grOaned
and threw stones. The same scene was re-
peated at EOrheth street. where the crowd
very large and abusive. AT this point
of the RinksrtOp men, ezasperatsd by
the jeers pushed a Winchester rifle through
the window and fired into the crowd. The
shot struck Dennis Bagley, a Well-tO-dO
teamstei of the town of Lake, and it IS be-
Geved he Is fatally wounded. The crowd
made a desperate rush for the trsln, which
started on at high rate of speed and has
now reached Chicago.
Captain Joy was in charge of the PlpE5r
ton men when the shooting occurred. He
was standing on q rear platform. He said
the men picked out by the city police were
not the guilty parties. He said also that the
strikers gathered about the car 400 strong,
just as they were about TO start, and began
pelting them with stones, and some of them
shot also. 1--WE were sent down there,
said Captain Joy, "tO preserve peace, not to
disturb It, but when some OF my men were
fred upon, they returned the shots,
thinking, perhaps, that the lives or the
employees who were IN their oherg6 we're
in danger. I was standing on the
rear platform of the train at the time.
L rushed into the train and ordered them to
stop firing. l did not know what injury
was done until came into the city" VII
liam A. PinkertOn says he has ample proof
that his men did not fire upon the crowd IN
til they had been fred upon. Charley Beck,
one of his men, who was IN the car ahead Of
the one from which the shooting was done,
says the crowd fred at least i've shots be
fore the fire was returned. One of the bull
. ID
self in the opposite wall. Bricks and stones
were then thrown until the side or the car
was battered up. Mr.. ElnkertOn says the
men had been subjects Of constant assault
and abuse while in the yards, and two Of
them are now laid up with wounds that may
prove fatal.
CH1cAao, III October 21-It has been
decided to hold an inquest on j. Begley,
killed by the PinkertOu men, tomorrow
morning, at the Twenty 55COld street police
station. Einkerton did not think it would
be advisable to hold the inquest IN the town
of Lake, as the feeling there lie so fierce
against his men that it might result in in
jury to them by friends Of the deceased. II
is the opinion Of the officers in charge of the
PinEertOn agency that the men arrested Tor
the shooting Of Begley Will undoubtedly be
held to the grand jury. The original reports
given TO the newspapers appear to have been
rather one sided. The cars IN which the
PinksrtOn men were being brought to ths
city are all battered In and many windows
DrOkens showing 5Nlu5Acr5 OF the s--7-lt-
made by a large body of men. The Piuker-
ton men all assert that this assault was
made before a shot was dFed, and they
thought their lives in danger.
CHICAGO, III, October 21.-Statements
from different eye witnesses are unfavOrable
to the PinkertOn guards who did the shoot
ING, as they we've leaving the stock yards
Tuesday. Captain Markey, of the Town Of
Lake police, sayss "lhe shooting vas ut
! tsrly uniustifable; and there are seventy
witnesses to prove it. When the train
pulled out Of the yard near Allerton, the
| Pinkerton men raised the windows and
called the switchmen and others in the
I Vicinity all the rames they could think Of
have the names OF atty police who can
IDENTIFY a large number Of them as dis
