The coroner held an inquest this afternoon on
the body of Charles Kister, who was killed in
Tuesday nights riot 1t was supposed that he
was shot by the police. Two witnesses were ex-
amined, and then it was discovered that instead
of being shot, the man had been stabbed. It is
low thought he was killed by Anarchists, as the
evidence disclosed the fact that Kister was re
spectacle citizen and not rioter. The coroner
ordered the inquest adjourned until later, and
the body was taken to Kisters house, on Indiana
street, near Peoria.
The forms" of the Arbeiter Zeitung were
carried to the Office Of the Burgess Print
ing Company, this afternoon, to be printed, as

Captain O'Donnel, of the Twelfih-street sta
tion. was informed to-day, in quiet way that
wounded Socialist was concealed at No. 16
Fisk street. The Captain and a patrol-wagon
load of officers were driven to the place to make
an investigation, and Joseph Michaelski was
found He was in bed when arrested. and had
an ugly wound in the right leg, below the knee,
the bullet having passed through from the left
side of the limb The wound was in
rather unhealthy condition, and was
undoubtedly made by thirty-eight caliber ball.
The man was sleeping with revolver under his
head. He said he was a Russian Pole and had
been in America since September. On Tuesday
evening he went with friend to the meeting on
Desplaines street, and received the wound in
fha fron &ho<o &c l;c
ing to the meeting, he claimed, was to learn the
English language. After being shot he was
driven to his boarding place in carriage. When
asked who employed the carriage. he
said that he did not know the mans
name. They were both badly wounded,
ball having entered his companions face
close to the nose, and passing out below the ear.
Michaelski, when in the old country, was tele-
graph operator. He says he came to this coun-
try because he could get better wages. His
alleged reason for having his revolver under his
pillow was that he had been told that America
was very dangerous country. He was taken
to the Cook County Hospital.
Officer Geo. Miller, wounded during the Hay
market encounter between the Anarchists and
the police, died at 1880 tonight in the county

panied by his fellow prisoners, Sam Fielden,

heartened, depressed and detected. AS they filed
out of the squad-room, they did not lift their
eyes. A crowd began to gather, but the patrol
wagon was waiting to convey the prisoners and
their escort to the county Jail, and thitner they
were taken They were provided with separate
cells in the main Jail, and no one WAS allowed to
communicate with them.
