CHICAGO, June 25.-The Daily Neaos
this morning prints an interview with "a
well-known resident Of the west side,
going TO show that the Bohemian anarch-
ists are not Mt all subdued by the happen
ings OF the past two months. The gem
tleman claims that within the last month
at least so shooting galleries have been
opened within the ueighborhood mile
square in the Bohemian quarter and that
they are much frequented by people Of
that nationality, He also claims TO have
discovered that large numbers of them are
drilling secretly in different halls
and have pickets stationed for three
blocks from their meeting place TO give
warning OF the approach Of strangers.
When asked what he knew of their num-
bers he said. 'Not man less than 300
are we'll drilled, but l don't think the
drilled men will exceed | 200 in number.
Those are the fellows who are drilled in
marching movements. Twice that number
are patrons Of the shooting galleries. The
Twelfth street and Hinman street police
know there is something going on among
the Bohemians, but what can they dor The
Bohemians avoid them as If they had the
smallpox and you can't get man,
woman, or even the children 10 say q
word TO stranger. The men who travel
beats in the neighborhood are glad enough
to get through the night without prying
into the secrets Of the anarchists. The
return Of Parsons has emboldened them
wonderfully, and l know several Of Tho
more intelligent ones say that the anar-
chists would come out of the trial
stronger than they went in. l have told
you nothing but the truth; nearly every
Bohemian there thinks the Haymarket az
fair was q victory for their cause"

cured an exceedingly important witness
in the anarchist case. Directly after the
| Haymarket massacre, William Hoyt, q

or two" This came to the ears Of officer
and he has been taken into custody.
