Inspector Bonfeld has just been seen at
the Desplaines Street Station, and says con-
corning ton gifts troubles in the old Hay
market: After Parsons had concluded his
speech, Sam Fielding, another notorious So
cialist, mounted the wagon and began to ad-
dress the crowd. His address was of the
most infiammatory description. He called on
the men to arm themselves and to assert their
rights. He finally became so violent that
word was sent to the station, which was
only a block distant, and Inspector Bon
field, at the head of 125 men. marched to the
place where the meeting was in progress.
Bonfield called upon the crowd to disperse,
and Fielding shouted out to the men from
the wagon: ITO armsu' The officer once
more called on them to disperse, when sud-
denly from behind the wagon, which was
not fifteen feet from the front rank of the
police two bombs were thrown in between
the second and third ranks of the men, with
the effect as already stated. The second
hiring, which was heard about an hour ago,
proved to be nothing of consequence. No
one was hurt.
On table in the Station house, where the
wounded policemen were. one poor fellow
lies stretched on a table with terrible bullet
wounds in his breast. A few feet distant
wound in his side, is lying insensible on
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 groan or complaint is heard from any
of them. Another officer, who was
found lying in a doorway where he had
been carried, or where he had dragged him
self has just been brought in, frightfully
wounded. There are some twenty of the So
cialisls in the cells in the basement. Nearly
all of them are wounded, and one CT them,
young fellow of about twenty, is dead.
CHICAGO, May 5.-The following named
Socialists all of whom are wounded, have
been placed under arrest: Joe Kucher,
Emil Lobe, John Uellend, Peter Lay, John
Frazer, August Iaka, John Lachmaun, Rob't
Shultz, Franz Wroch, B. Lepant and Chas.
Schumacher.
The list of casualties so far as can be
learned foots up as follows: One Socialist
de ad; two officers dead four other Off
ing, and thirty more police who have
wounds many of a most seriou, character.
In addition to this probably fifty people,
nearly all members of the Socialist order,
were shot or otherwise wounded The COM
pilation of detsiled list is made almost
impos sible, the confusion and excitement
is so great and the attention of
officers and populsce is so taken up
with the care of the il jured. A great num-
Der of these were quickly taken TO different
hospitals and to private houses, so it may be
days before the full extent of the horror can
be brought to light.
MsyOr Harrison arrived at the station as
soon as possible after the bombs had been
thrown. He walked around among the
officers and spoke encouraging
words to them. 81 was" said he, ''at
the meeting for while during the
tirP Parsons was speaking. / went
from there to the Dies PLANES Street Station,
and learning that there was no indication of
tro uble l went home to bed. had hardly
done 81 when 1 heard of the BOMBS thrown
and came directly to the station
'@What action will he taken to subdue the
sOcialistic element" he was asked.
II can't say now. have not had time to
think of any plan since this affair. You can
say, however, that the entire police force OF
the city will be used to maintain order, and
unlswful gatherings AT which speeches are
made threatening property will be DIS
persed.
