CHICAGO, June 26-About 4:3o p. NJ the
Lake Shore railway people made another
attempt to send out train A number of Lake
police and Pinkerton men, as well as railroap
officials, mounted it and 1t steamed slowly
down to Enelewood, followed by about one
thousand strikers. At Englewood the train
pulled out fast, aud it had not gone beyond
Grand Crossing when an engine filed with
strikers was seen in the distance. The train
pulled out faster and faster but the strikers
were gaining on it; when they just had caught
up their steam went out and they fell back to
the depot at South Chicago while the train of
four freight cars proceeded to its destination.
AS the cars were passing South Chicago large
crowd of strikers there began throwing stones at
she police. who were seated on the car tops The
police fred at the crowd, and 1t is reported tnat
several men were wounded.
The steam of the strikers engine did not, as
rs first reported, give out at the city limits.
Two engines, one in front and one behind,
were propelling the four freight cars, sand
wiched in between, which the strikers were
striving to overhaul The strikers en-

on top Of the boiler and on the roof OF
the cab they hung in all positions. When the
four cars were reached the strikers shouted hike
mad men. Soon the engine in the rear OF the
four cars hitherto of little use, was given full
head of steam and the cumbersome cars groaned

eremes In short time the freight was mile
ahead. When sufficiently in advance, the police
deposited detachment of their number, unob-

by the strikers, but they had two powerful
road locomotives pitted against them drand
crossing was finally reached, and then long

waiting upon the track down which the strikers
were tearing If they persisted, collision
would inevitably follow, which meant certain
death to all on board. Suddenly the strikers

the engine. Jumping into the cab, Captain Hunt
covered the engineer with his revolver. He and
Eve others were thus caught in the cab. The

given chase on foot, but only four of them were
captured. Besides this group, many small
parties Of strikers scattered throughout the
Bwamps were followed by separate squads of
police who used their revolvers freely. 1t was
this shooting that probably gave rise to the re
port of firing at South Chicago. If any of the
strikers received bullets, they have not been
unearthed by the police up to late hour. The
net result of the struggle was one train of
freight forwarded to Elkhart and one other
train brought into the city About twenty-five
