teamster, who worked about the stock yards
and took no part in the strike, was MORALLY
wounded by tie Pinkerton fusillade, and
another man, whose name is not given, was
wounded and carried away. When the train
left the stock yards the butchers were In the
front cars, the guards I'm the three at the rear
end. The latter had their rifle muEzles pointing
out OF the windows. There was a stop at Hal
stead and 10th streets TO attach some other
cars, and the train was switched back some lit
tie distance, Quite crowd had assembled,
and, as the inmates of the train were recog.
nized, there were some jeering remarks made.
As the train repassed this point a PinkerIon
man pushed his rifle out aiming at the crowd,
and, raising the hammer, the man fired his
weapon, ana Terry Begley fell MORALLY
wounded. In a moment IL was followed by q
regular yoley from the other rifiemen, and the
children, fled in panic. In the flight man fell
and was hastily carried away by his friends
As the train steamed by Captain Marley, of the
Town OF Lake police, was at hand with a few
men, and would have arrested the man he saw
nre the shot, but feared TO stop the train, a. a
riot might have resulted. He telephoned TO

tify who shot Begley.

made the assault first with stones and then
with revolvers, and that they made no attack
until they mad been fired upon. Capt Markey
said. however, that the Piukerton men did the
first shooting without any provocation. When
the specials were lodged I'm the Harrison street
station the city police began the work OF assort-
ing the ones who did the shooting Capt.
Marley, three boys and man who were pres

who shot Begley. The specials were made to
march before them and two were picked out as
participators in the shooting. The weapons Of
the specials were seized by the police.
