CHICAGO, May S.-Some time during
Thursday night Anarchists hanged po-
lice officer in effigy at the corner of Eigh-
teenth and Paulina streets. The strange
looking object was dressed in suit Of
blue with brass buttons and tin star on
the breast of the coat. The effigy was
suspended from telegraph wire span.
ming Eighteenth street, and hung there
nearly all day.
Little frowsy-headed children of the
Anarchists pelted stones at the dummy
and plastered the coat with mud. A
squad of Human officers was sent to cut
1t down, but when they arrived at the
corner the effigy had mysteriously disap
appeared.
There were but two officers on duty at
the corner of Eighteenth street and Cen
ter avenue during the day. One of them
carried two revolvers, the butts of which
protruded from either side of the row of
brass buttons running down the breast Of
Ms coat. In his belt he carried a knife
with blade twelve inches long, which
he had found in the drug store wrecked
by the Reds Wednesday morning. He
was not molested.
The leaders in the attack on Rosenfeld's
store are under police surveillance. They
arc known to be intrenched on the east
side of Centre avenue between Eight
zenith and Twentieth streets, and it is
probable that their nest will be raided be-
fore tonight. They are said to be in
possession of dynamite and firearms. One
of the number, who has been arrested, had
a dynamite gun in his breast pocket. The
strange looking weapon is at the Twelfth
street station. No ncendiary fires were
kindled in tire lumber districts last
night. Two special watchmen guarding
the yards of one firm pursued two men
who were seen lurking around planning
mill, but did not oVertakc them.
Nearly all of the copies of the mayors
proclamation which were posted on the
dead walls in this portion of the city have
been torn down.
Captain O'Donnell made another raid

feel certain they will eventually lay hand
on the daStardly assassin who threw tn

that the determination of the Socialists

growth of plot in which Spies, Schwal
Fielder and Parsons were the prin
movers. 1t was reported at the Centr
station that early Tuesday evening, 6

The locality mentioned is known to

niflcant enough to call for investigation
in view of subsequent events. 1t is the
belief that the man who bought the
cartridges was an Anarchist, and that,

sistance, the bullets were intended f
the police. The detectives feel assur,
that wholesale assassination was intendt
