IN THE PRESENCE OF AN EXCITED
THRoNa.
Chicago, June 30-The usual two car
loads of Pinkcrton men arrived at Root
street shortly after seven O'Clock this
morning and business was Immediately
started by the Lake Shore company.
The entire Pinkerton force, with the
exception of a dozen men are now armed
with rifles and a guard is sent out with
every train and accompanies it some
distance.
While there seems no likelihood Of any
trouble around sChieago to-day, except
perhaps at the stock yards, there is con-
siderable anxiety manifested as to the
probable action to be taken by the Lake
Shore switchmen at otheripcints.
MOVING AN ENGINE.
Chicago, June 30-Engiue number
44S, escorted by thirty special police
men, at eleven this morning, was sent
into the stock yards. On arriving near
the packing house intense excitement
prevailed. Every window of the the
packing house was crowded With work
men, who yelled offensive epithets at the
guards. 1t was feared there would be
trouble when The workmen went to
dinner.
HOSTILE DEMONSTRATIONS,
At 2 O'clock q Lake Shore engine at
tached to q tool car and caboose was
stopped behind the Chicago pack
ing ana provision eompany's slaughter
house by o train of cars in front.
AS the packing house whistles blew the
signal for the dinner hour a crowd OF at
least 1000 employees gathered in the
vicinity and the windows of the packing
house, Immediately beside the train,
were thronged with workmen, who be-
Igan to yell at the officers. In q few
moments the widest excitement pra-
vailed. Some offal thrown from the
windows struck one of three of
the Pipkerton men who were on
top Of the cars. This was the signal for
SHOWER OF STONES N CLUBS,
which were thrown from the windows
and roofs of the buildings at the officers.
Mike Begeley wax struck On the jaw by
one OF the clubs and seriously injured.
| Pinkerton's men raised their rifles to
shoot, but were restrained by a deputy
sheriff. A shot at that moment would
undoubtedly have preoipitated q serious
riot. The crowd was finally broken up
and when the whistles summoned them
back to work OF 1870 The train was
started up and moved behind Armour &
Murphy's packing houses amid o shower
OF missiles, which did no damage.
