Tho Chicago Anarchists Begin to
Fulnn Their Threats,

And Use Dynamite with Fearful Erect
Upon Squad Of Poliee--Terribis Reta-
astion-Seenes Among thewOund-
ed and Dying Policemen
CHICAGO, May 5.-The lawless element
Is still industriously at work in the lum-
her region. One or two threatening
crowds were dispersed yesterday morn
ing BY the police without blQodshed. The
police entered upon their service with
spirit and the engagements were short,
sharp and decisive. In the afternoon, in
a rain storm, about seven hundred strik-
ers marched upon the paint works Of
Cary. Ogden & Parker, 276 to 2S4 West
Eighteenth street. The four special po-
licemen on duty were pelted with stones
and bricks, and soon fed for their lives;
One of them stumbled and fell, and while
living on the ground fred into the ap-
preaching rabble. The rioters halted for
Q moment, until one of the leaders waved
Y rusty saber over his head and urged his
companions to kill the PROSTATE officer.
About this time the Hinman street and
Twelfth street patrol wagons filled with
officers ratified down the street.
When the blue vehicles neared the
rioters, the officers took aim over each
others shoulders and fred vOlley after
voiley over the strikers heads. The
effect was amusing. Men with their
pockets filed with stones, and men with
Slavonic boards and wooden swords hud-
died behind barricades no more sub.
stantial than picket fence; others
darted down Eighteenth street to Center
avenue, near which is sort of rem
devious for the thousands of foreign
strikers in the neighbOrhOOd. Here the
mob made a desperate stand. Officer
Small, of the Hinman Street station,
lcaped out of his wagon and started after
one of the leaders of the riot, who was
yelling to his comrades to blow up the
police with dynamite. lie ran into the
crowd and grabbed the Anarchist by the
neck. The latter screamed for help.
The rioters surged about the Off
Ger and his struggling prisoner,
and then fell upon the former
with stones and clubs. Officer Small, to
defend himself, fired several shots into
the crowd, but without effect. The
shooting then became hot and indiscrim-
mate. Small's comrades ran to his assist
ance, but before he was rescued from his
perilous position he was shot through
the hand. His prisoner escaped. Re-
ports Of exploding cartridges came from
every quarter and the air was filed with
smoke.
"KILL THE HIRELINGS,"
5awled a man with red whiskers, as he
pointed an ancient revolver at Officer
Small. Before he could pull the trig-
ger Detective Michael Granger struck
his hand and the weapon fell to the
ground. The mob then pounced upon
Granger and dragged him into the muddy
street. A rock "a large as cOcOanut
whizzed past his check and brick hit
him in the forehead. The detective fell
to the ground with stream of blood
pouring from a jagged wound. The re-
maindcr of the officers becoming exasper-
ated at the resistance displayed by the
rapidly growing mob, fired score OF
shots into the surging, bowling mass.
One man was seen to drop, but his
picked him up, and hurried
through ncighboring alley. The sight
OF Anarchist blood seemed to ill
the rioters with fear, for as soon as they
learned that one of their number had
been shot they fed precipitateiy.
The officers then charged upon them
and captured seven of the leaders. They
were taken 10 the Twelfth and Human
street station.
Rain fell necessarily during the nSht.
After the officers had departed with their
prisoners, the clouds rolled away ana the
sun shone brightly. Inc httie chiidrch
OF the Anarchists came out OF their houses
and played ON the sidewalks. An hour
later the wives OF the Anarchists huhs
themselves over the SaieS OF tneir front
fences and talked wildly to each other.
Then the Anarchists themselves crcpt Out

of the prowliug Anarchists recognized
them. The scsbs did not know this.
When the scabs reached the corner the
two Anarchists bounced on them and
threw them to the ground. Other An.
arcbists then came up and began to beat
the PROSTATE men with clubs. The
screams of the unfortunate men were
heard bv Officer Ouigley, of the Twelfth
street station. He ran to the rescue, but
was driven hack nv a shower of stones.
A shot was fred by one of the Anarchists,
and then a cobble.stone struck the officer
