captured him, with his brother Chris
and his associate editor, Michael Schwab.
An inquest over the body of one of the
dead officers resulted in the charge
against all three cf murder, and they
are tonight under lock and key. Bail
will be refused them. The police are
searching for Parsons, another Of the
Anarchist leaders. Mayor Harrison has
not as yet soughtaid from the Governor
and declares his ability to maintain or
der. He has issued a proclamation, in
which he warns all crowds TO disperse
when the order to do so is given or take
the consequences. The police are well
armed and it is thought that the law has
got the upper hand Of the law-breakers.
A vigorous policy is promised
MILWAUKEE, May 5.-Early this
morning a great number of Poles who
had participated in yesterdays riots at
Bay View were heen, singly and in pairs,
making their way toward the large
Polish church in the Southern part of
this city. BY G o'clock four hundred
men were assembled, each with huge
club, CrOwbar or some other implement
Of warfare. The men were formed into
line and at the order OF Forward,
marchl' proceeded in the direction of
Bay View, raising 6he cry as they went,
"kill the militia and burn the mills!'
Major Treamer ordered the four com
panies under his command from inside
the rolling mills enclosure, where they
had been in camp during the night, and
stationed them in the best position tc
check the mob. As the latter approached
,,,la 70
given.
Major Treamer repeated the order and
gave fam warning that to advance meant
certain death. Again the crowd, which
was now about l 300, ignored the caution
and pushed toward the bridge. When
lie gave the order to fire the four com.
panies emptied their guns with a steady
aim. The mob, seeing several of theiI
number fall wounded and dead, threw
themselves fat on the ground and sought
the shelter of the railroad embankment.
The level of South Bay street and Lin.
coin avenue being higher than the
marsh, was also sought by the frantic
men, who tumbled headlong into the
water.
The first yolley having such a salutary
effect the militia again stacked arms
and portions of the routed men returned
to the scene of the tragedy. A squad OF
police also put in an appearance and
began to assist the wounded. Several
of the latter were taken to neighboring
saloons, dosed with whisky and con
veyed 10 their homes.
The rioters in greater part retrcated
to the section of the city wherein they
reside, in the Fourteenth ward, and al
though numerous threats were made to
organize and renew the attacks OH the
militia they were not carried out. The
excitement throughout the Fourteenth
ward reached high pitch and threats
OF vengeance were heard on every corn
cr. Knots of men could be seen gesticu-
lating and discussing the tragedy in
front of eTery saloon, in front of the
victims houses and even at the church
and school doors. All were indignant
over what they called the unproyoked
murder of their countrymen. In the
western portion of the city the German
Socialists have given the police and the
militia reserve at the armOry great
amount of trouble. Three times have
they been called to Milwaukee Garden.
200 strong, to disperse crowd CT 1900
or more strikers and Socialists and each
time vigorous use of policemen's clubs
upon the heads and backs of the mob
were necessary. Two leaders of th So
cialstS have been arrested.
In spite of the determined opposi-
ton of MARTIN IRoNs, the Knights of
Labor have declared the strike on
GoULD's Southwest system at an end.
They were materially aided in arriving
at this conclusion BY the Congress In.
yestigating Committee.
