AT 10 o'clock this morning tho First and

mand OF General Fi'ysimmons ard
Colonels Kuox and Wheeler. Their
orders were to disembark at ThirLy-ninlh
street and march to FdTguson's packing
house, v hich Is to be their barracks and
headquarters during the time they remain
Ut tho yards. All seemed in good spirits,
the prevailing opinion being tnst no active
duty would be required, the moral effect
Of their presence rendering little limo.
cent patrol duty amply sufficient to pre-.
serve the peace and protect the property.
The First Regiment carried their gattling
gun.
AS the morning progressed the crowds
surrounding the entrance to the yard in.
creased, thU strikers became more obstin.
ale, and the Deputy Sherids found greater
difficulty IN dispelsing them. Armour &
Co. had about ono hundred and fifty Ol
their old men, who have refused to etrike,
at work killing hogs, but this was the
only hog house in Tho yard running.
NoN.uNIoN MEN ASSAULTED.
About o o'clock the crowd at the yards
got more turbulent and assaults on non

VIM. Oakley passed Thirly.eight and
Laurel streets on their way to work at
Armour's. A crowd Of over 200, the lead.
ers OF whom are alleged 10 be Collins and
Sullivan, attacked the two workingmen.
Oakley was almost killed, the assallants
jumping on him and kicking him In q
lrightiul manner. But for the arrival OF
officers FlRnuigan and Mcliraw, who
drove the crowd back at the point Of their
reyolvers, the two men would probably
have boen killed.
