CHICAGO. May 5.-A man who WAS stand
ing in the crowd OF rioters last evening
received o pistol ball in his thigh. and was
brought 20 the Central Police Station. He
says that during the progress OF q speech
by one of the Socialists, a squad OF oihcers
marched by close to the speakers stand.
Some shouted: "Kill the - -
-" Almost as soon as the words had
been uttered three bombs were thrown
near the stand into the midst of the squad
of officers. They exploded instantly, and
five policemen fell. Others were
and several Socialists did not Escape. An
officer who shortly arrived
from the scene said that there was naroly
any doubt bu. that at least hve ofncers
were fatally wounded. Persons living on
the west side many squares from the scene
Of the disturbance report the explosion OF
tho bombs as terrific. 1t was instantly
flowed by a fusilade Of revolver shots.
No estimate OF casualties can now be
given. but the police at Desplaines Street
Station state that fully so were wounded.
TIL drug stores in the vicinity were
for a time crowded with people hurt
and doctors we're ~telephoned Tor
in ALI directions. Before the firing ceased
the nejghboring police stations were turned
into temporary hospitals. At IL O'Clock
90 policemen lay on the floor OF the Des-
plaines Station, all disabled. and probably
that number are seriously so. Others are
reported to be still lying in the open
souare. either dead or badly wounded.
1.3O Moore firing has just been
heard near the place OF the former trouble,
and a large number OF police have Just lett
the station for the place. Some 10 shots
were heard.
The list OF casualties. so far as can be
learned, foots up as follows: one Socialls'
dead, two officers dead. four officers VINO
may not survive until morning, and ~
more police who have serious wounds In
addition to this probably so people. nearly
all members of the Socialists crowd or
citizens OF the vicinity, were shot or other-
wise hurt. So great is the panic and ne
cessitv for caring for the wounded that IL
may be a day before the full extent OF the
disast ter is made known.
A report has lust been received that slX
policemen have been killed 10 Haymarket'
where the Anarchists are holding q meet
ing.
LATER.-The excitement OF the genera
~populace is intense, growing as u Is OUT o.
the massacre planned and carried out Dy .
small band of Anarchists thelt piluo
followers last night. The city outwardly
is very quiet. In street cars, at ever,
point of gathering in the city the events o.
last nigh. are seriously discussed anu 'n'
conservative element OF the popuistion' !
is proper to say, has never seriously CON
templated that an outbreak OF suen SER
GUS proportions and atrocious chsractel
could be meditsted by any class III TN
community. The words heard on ever,
side this morning are OF utter u az
horrent condemnation OF the assauit ol
the police. The occurrences OF Mondal
and last night are ascribed IN inc puoii'
mind TO the teachings and recent utter
ances principally of three men, Angus
Speiss, A. R. Parsons and Samuel FEEDERS
the speakers OF last night. They have
been pointed out by every paper in thu
city during the past four days, and thu
tragic elimination on Desplsines stree
only appeared to emphasize these warnings
Their arrest has been repeatedly de
msnded. When the firing began las
night Parsons was the only man seen to bt
recognized. He was in a liquor store or
the corner OF Desplaines and Lake streets
the Socialists headquarters, within LOT
feet of the point where the deadly bomt
WAS thrown among the ranks of the police,
Firing ut the police came from the same
direction, and it is surmised the criminals
obtained their guns and made this Social
lists hall q rendezvous, n from thence
they proceeded to make their assault
They were concealed behind boxes and
barrels on the sidewalk, ~leveling their
guns and firing. During the confusion
following the explosion Parsons was seen
in the place, accompanied by his negro
wife, for only a moment, and then he dis
appeared with the other Anarchists. Tho
police searched for the three men all
night, but did not succeed in finding them,
A little after 8 o'clock this morning all
three were found in a close room in the
Office Of the Arbeiter Zeitung, a news
paper, at No. lit Fifth Avenue. They
were in consultation when the officers
came upon them. They exhibited
alarm, but made no resistance. They
were taken quietly to the Contra
Police Station, a block away, and up to
o'clock the public had not been made
aware of their arrest. They are KEEP
closely guarded, and no one is permitted
TO see them. 1t is not known what, if any,
charges have been made against them, and
what il the exact policy the city author
| ties intend to pursue.
Another great strike was i%naugurated
this morning. Seventeen hundred men EN-.
ployed at the Deering Harvester Works
stopped without notice or warning OF any
character. and without making any de-
mands. Whether the men had been in
fluenced by recent riotous events directed
against the workingmen remaining at their
post Is not known. The managers OF the
works asked for police protection. The
works are located in a section largely pop
ulated by foreign-speaking people.
