CHICAGO, May 5.-A horrible outcome Of
the excitement resulting from Tuesday
nights riOting, occurred last evening shortly
after six o'clock. Two officers had been
stationed on the Desplaines street viaduct,
near the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
freight yards, to prevent crowds gathering
and idlers from guylng the men at work in
place of the striking freight handlers. The
officers noticed two particularly suspicious
looking individuals slowly cross the viaduct
and enter saloon on Desplaines street
near Carroll avenue. Officer Michael Mad
den, of the Desplaines street sta
ton, who was somewhat closer to
the saloon than the other two
policemen, was given a signal
TO keep his eyes on the ugly pair. At this
moment q revolver was thrust from the
saloon door by one of the men and shot
fired into the street in the direction of the
officers. Madden at once stepped briskly to
the saloon door and grappled with the man
who held the revolver, while the two other
officers hurried to his aid. In the scuffle the
man with the revolver pressed its muzzle to
Madden's breast and fired. Madden reeled,
but, steadyng himself, instantly brought his
own revolver into proximity with his
assailant'S head and pulled the trigger.
Madden and his prisoner, locked in each

ficers DAILY and Hartnett running reached
the saloon. The companion of Madden's
assailant had vanished. Both Madden and
his prisoner were taken to the county hos
pital. The doctors say the man was sOme-
what under the influence of liquor and the
result of his injury can not yet be told. A
paper found on his person shows that his
name is John LOeffehardt, a noted anarch-
list of EnglewoOd, a railroad station just
south of the city. Officer Madden's wound
is mortal.
CHICAGO, May 6.-Mob violence again
asserted itself in the southwestern portion
of the city yesterday morning. About nine
o'clock groups of men, women and children
began gathering at the corner Of Eighteenth
street and Center avenue. These groups
soon aggregated 5000 persons. On one OF
the corners is the drug store OF Samuel
ROsenfe!dt. 1t became apparent that the
owner of the store was the object against
whom the crowd were bent Oh venting their
spite. Men surged toward the building
with threats and violent language.
"Tear down the place." they yelled.
''Kill ROsenfeldt; he's police spy"
came from the Threats of all.
The fury of the mob was directed against
the druggist because he had a telephone in
his store, and they had an idea that he was
giving tips to the police. Some police Of
ficers in the vicinity telephoned to the Hin.
man street station, and a wagon load of
police was soon on the scene, and, taking
Rosenfeldt and his family into the wagon,
they conveyed them to the station, leaving
guard in the vicinity.
Shortly after noon the police made an
other raid on the Office of the Arbeiter
Zeitung and arrested man who, upon be-
ing searched, produced large revolver and
dirk knife. He was placed under arrest.
In the Office were discovered several boxes
of dynamite, with a number of red flags
and incendiary banners. These were all
seized.
A mob of from six to eight thousand per-
sons reassemDled near the corner of Eight
zenith street and Center avenue at noon and
raided Rosenfeldts store, carrying off every
thing portable in the store. Then they
raided liquor store in the near vicinity
kept by w. Eiskopf, carrying away or
drinking the liquor. Women and children
joined in this raid. The police returned to
the scene and succeeded in dispensing the
mob.
Another outbreak at the corner of Eight
teenth street and Center avenue occurred
about nine p. m. Crowds lined the side
walk for several blocks, but were being
kept in motion as much as possible. Sud-
denly bottle was hurled from the vicinity
of 0e drug store at several police who were
standing on an opposite corner. The officers
Immediately drew their revolvers and fired.
The mob scattered in every direction.
Whether any one was seriously injured or
not it was impossible to ascertain.
