ST. LOUIS, May 23-The Anarchists, F. H.
Bergeman, Martin Frank, Otto Fricke and
Gott.ieb Jaborosski, for whom warrants were
issued yesterday, were arrested TO-DAY and
placed in Jail to await trial on the charge of hav-
ing melted and urged the adoption of, at
lawful assembage, resolutions indorsing the
actions of the Anarchists during the Haymarket
riot in Chicago 1t had been stated, previously
to their arrest by detective who was working
on the case, that these men knew more concern
ing the whereabouts of the noted Chicago agita-
tor Parsons, than they cared to reveal. This
detective states that he knows positively that
Parsons passed through small town in northern
Kansas soon after the riot, with tie intention OF
escaping to Canada but was obliged to change
his course account of the serions delay to
travel by washouts on the railroads, and started
for the South, passing through this city on the
way, and comforting with his brethren while
here. If this should prove to be the truth Of the
matter, the arrests made here to-day are i'm
portant. and tend to substanriate the statement
telegraphed from Florida. that Parsons had been
seen there. presumably on his way to Cuba.

ST. JOSEPH. May 23.-Charles Hatch was
killed to-day by Grant Glascock. Both men
were well-to-do farmers living two miles south of

penning up some hogs belonging to Glascock.
Hatch went and notified Glascock of his action
on Friday, demanding 50 damages. which elias
cock did not want to pay until they
could call in some neighbors to settle the
trouble. Hatch would not agree to this;
the men had some words, and sepa-
rated. On Saturday Gascock went to Hatch's
house and demanded the hogs. Hatch refused
to deliver them until he had paid him the So, and
said if Glascock did not pay it he would take 1t
out of his hide. He asked Glascock to go out
into the road and they would fight it out. The
men started, but before they got out of the barn
lot Glascock picked up club and Hatch, seeing
this action. stopped to get one also while doing

Explosives Discoyared.

CHICAGO May %. Ever since the night of the
riots and the day following when the search OF
houses commenced. the police of the North ave
nue. station and residents of that district have
been finding bits of dynamite, gas pipe cart
ridges and rife-cartridges in houses on the prai-
RE and under the sidewalks in their immediate
vicinity. little over week ago a number of
dynamite cartridges, wrapped in piece of red oil
cloth, were found under the sidewalk; next,
boy on Quad avenue found some rife-cartridges,
and two days after this another boy took
to his mother for her inspection some
fifty rounds that he had picked up on the
prairie. To-day come small boys were playing
ball on Robey street, near the old Chicago d
Pacific railway, or Bloominsaale track. when
the ball went into gutter and under the side
walk. boy had to crawl under. and while
looking for his bali, found piece of gas-pipe,
and reported more where that came from. He
told his father and the police were notified.
They searched and found that under the side
walk on the east side of Robey street and less
than two feet south of the railroad track, small
hole mad been scraped out. In this hole
thirty-one pieces of gaspipe, Il inch in diane
ter and one to ten inches long wrapped I'D
in piece of oil-cloih. Of these thirty were
loaded with dynamite, being stopped at the end
with round blocks of wood. fuse about
eight inches in length was attached to each. and
all were ready for immediate The last
piece of pipe was not loaded. but seemed to-
have been very recently CUT, as the oil was still
on its end In the hole also found two
boxes of dynamite caps and a fourquart tin
dpper pail, containing large quantity of fuse
and some water proof. The explosive outfit was
taken to the Chicago-avenue station The gas
pipe cartridges were exactly similar to those
captured by Captain Setback in Louis Lingg's
house. 1t is believed the stuff vas placed there
by of the Anarchists who live II tho
neighborhood. and who feared that their houses
might be searched 1t is evident that the one
placing it there desired to it again, from the
care with which it was wrapped up.
