temporary hospitals. At II o'clock twenty
policemen lay on the floor of the Desplaines
street station. all disabled, and probably
half that number seriously so. Others were
| reported to be still lying in the open square,
either dead or badly wounded. A telephone
message from one of the hospitals
says that a wounded officer brought
| there has since died. Officer Joseph
began died on his way to the station.
Later reports at the Desplaines street sta
ton indicate that even more than at first
estimated were wounded among the social
lists. The scenes at the station are heart
rending. In one large room lie some tif
teen officers, and doctors are dressing their
wounds. The wife of one of the men in
jured has just come in, and, upon learning
that her husband was among the wounded,
fell down in faint and had to be carried
home.
11:30 p. m.-More firing has been heard
near the
SCENE OF THE FORMEB TROUBLE
and large force of police has Just left the
station for the place. Some fifteen shots
were heard. 1t is reported that August
Spies is in saloon on Lake street, and
detail of police has been sent to arrest him.
The relations of the officers. Timothy
Flairn. George Miller and Keddin came to
the station short time ago accompanied
by priest and administered the last sacra-
| ments to the three men, who are in dying
condition. In the basement of the station
there are some ten socialists who are haV-
! ing their wounds attended to.
| Inspector Bonfield has just been seen at
! the DesPlaines street station, and says
after Parsons had concluded his speech,
| Sam Fielding, another notorious Socialist,
mounted the wagon and began to address
the crowd. His address was of
the most infammatory description. He
called on the men to arm themselves
and to assert their rights. He finally be-
came so violent that word was sent to the
station, which was only block distant and
Inspector Bonfield at the head of 125 men
| marched to the place where the meeting
| was in progress. Bonfeld called
upon the crowd to dispense, and
Gielding shouted out to them from
the wagon. ITO arms" The officer once
more called ON them to dispense, when sud-
| denly from behind the wagon which was
tsnot fifteen feet from the front rank of the
police,
TWO BOMBS WE'RE THROWN,
| in between the second and third ranks of
| the men, with the effect as already stated.
The second firing which was heard about
an hour ago proved to be nothing of conse-
| quence. No one was hurt.
! On table in the station house, where
| the wounded policemen are, one poor
fellow lies stretched ON table with ter
rible bullet wounds in his breast. A few
| feet distant man with tattered clothes
| and mortal wound in his side is lying iu
sensible On a cot. Around the room in
| chairs, with their legs bandaged up
and resting on supports of different kinds,
are some fifteen or twenty of the officers
who were wounded by the bombs. Not a
groan or complaint is heard from any of
them. Another officer who was fund lying
in doorway where he had been carried, or
where he had dragged himself, has
just been brought in frightfully wounded.
! There are some twenty of the Socialists in
the cells in the basement. Nearly all Of
| them are wounded and one of them, young
fellow of about 20, is dead.

THE LIST OF CASUALTIES,
so far as can be learned, foots up as fol-
lows: One socialist dead; two officers
dead; four other officers who may not sur
vive till morning, and thirty police who
have wounds, many of most serious char
acter! In addition to this probably fifty
people, nearly all members of the social
| ist crowd or citizens of the vic
| Unity, were shot or otherwise
wounded. The compilation of detailed
| list is made almost impossible. the con-
fusion and excitement is so great and
the attention of officers and populace is
so taken up with the care of the
injured. A great number of
these were quickly taken to different hospi-
tails and to private houses. so that it may
be days before the full extent of the horrors
can be brought to light.
Mayer Harrison arrived at the station as
soon as possible after the bombs had been
thrown, He walked around among the
wounded officers and spoke encouraging
words to them.
