.'woRKINGMEN TO ARMsil!
'Your masters sent out their bIoodhounds
the police; they killed six of your BROTH

killed the poor wretches because they like
you. had the courage to d sobsy the supreme
will of your bosses. They killed them because
they dared ask for the shortening of the
hours of toll. They killed them to show you,
Free American Citizens, that you must be
satisfied and contented with whatever your
bosses condescend to allow you, or you will
get killed!
You have for years endured the most abb

anmeasurable iniquities; you have worked
pangs of want and hunger; your children you
have sacrificed to the factory-lords-in

slaves all these years. Why? To satisfy the
lazy, thieving masterl When you ask them
now to lessen your burden, he sends HIS

the second company, but was not SO now.
The society drilled and exercised in arms;
that was all. He remembered when
the bomb was thrown May 4,
in the evening. The night be-

he was in Greif's hall, 81 West Lake street.
He went there at eight o'clock, on account

had been killed at McCormicks Then it
was discussed what should be done the
next few days. Mr.. Engel introduced
a resolution as to what should be
done, and said if there should be an
encounter with the police, then
there should be meetings at various places
to aid the strikers; that the North side
had resolved on that. If some thing should
happen the word "Ruhe" was to be pub
lished in the tter-box, and that was to be
the signal for meeting. If there should
be disturbance, they were to meet
in Wicker park, armed. Then com
mittee was appointed to watch the
movements in the city and report if
any thing happened, and if riot
should occur we should storm the po-
lice stations, and cut the telegrap phi
wires. Then We should shoot down every
thing that came out Then if one police
station was stormed they should do the
same with the other moving down
all that came. They were to
commence at the station on North
avenue. Engel said the easiest mode would
be to throw bomb in the station. Nothing
was said in the meeting about
where the plan originated. It was
decided to call a meeting of the working
men the next day in the evening. Mr..
Fischer proposed as a substitution to wit
ness motion that the meeting should be in
the daytime, that it should be at eight
O'Clock in the evening. The meeting was
intended to cheer up the working men, so
they would be prepared for a conflict. 1t
was decided that as a body the armed Sec
ton should not participate in the Hay
market meeting, but should meet
at our regular places, while only
a committee would be at the Hay.
market. If the committee re-
ported that something happened the po-
lice were to be attacked where it had been
arranged for each group to do so. In ad-
dition to the police an attack was to be
made on the militia and the fire depart
ment. Attacks were to be made in all Sec
tons of the city at the same time.
Witness stated that he was at Zepf's
Hall, about half block from the scene of
the tragedy, when the bomb was exploded.
After the explosion he went home, STOP
ping at Engle's house on the way to in
form him OF the occurrence.
Mr.. Ingham then asked the witness if he
had ever had any bombs. This was OBJ
jected to by Mr.. Foster, and lone. argu-
ment ensued. The court finally allowed
the question to be asked. The question
was then repeated.
Yes" responded Waller, "about six
months ago Fischer gave me one. 1t was
piece of pipe eight inches long. I don't
know what it was filled with. 1t was at
Thaiia Hall. A number of members OF the
Northwest group were there Fischer had
a large number of bombs and distributed
them. All members OF the Lehr and
Wehr Verein were known by numbers
and not by their name. Ny mum.
Der was nineteen. These numbers were not
kept secret and not much attention was
paid to them Quite a number of us took
bombs that day.. I remember Fischer, En-
gle, Breitenfeld, Huber, Rheinhoid, Leh-
man, Herman, Schrader, Gruenswald and
Huebner."
At this point in the witness testimony
th" court adjourned.
The San Antonio Liqht saws that
the State of Texas should bestow a
handsome pension upon Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacinto Sanchez, Of San Antonio, and
grant them exemption from the paw

Mrs. Sanchez on Sunday presented her
husband with fine triplets, two boys
and a girl.
Noah Myers. of Woodland, CAL,
lost valuable ring while fishing at
Bartlett Springs last year. He recent
ly heard that a fisherman in the mount
aims had found ring inside of a trout.
Correspondence followed, and the re-
suit was that Mr.. Myers got back his
ring quite unchanged and the fisher
man got ten-dollar bill.
1t was worth while to invite the
