A Detective Fires into "a Crowd

of strikers.
CHICAGO, October 19.-Shortly after noon
special train was made up at the stock
yards TO convey 100 disc harged Pinkerton
men back to Chicago. AS the men marched
into the cars they were greeted with yells OF
derision by the crowd of strikers and SYM
pathizers. The same scene was repeated
a. 10th street. The crowd was very large
and abusive at this point. One of the
Pinkerton men. exasperated by the jeers.
pushed Winchester through the window
and fred into the crowd. The shot struck
Dennis Bagley, a well-to-do teamster of the
town of Lake. He Is believed to be fatally
wounded. The crowd made desperate
rush for the train which, however, started
off at high rate of speed. Serious trouble
is feared. The crowds are furious at the
shooting and vow vengeance.
When the train came inside the city
limits the city police boarded 1t and arrest.
ed one hundred and sixty Pinkerton and
forty non-union workmen who were on the
train. The PinkertOn men say the strikers
stoned the train and injured some of their
number. and that they were exasperated
into firing ten shots.

These figures seem uninteresting to most
people, but are deeply interesting to JOS y
Dye, because it is the number of his patent
for drilling wells with newfasht0ned
drill, that runs inside the casing which fol-
rock or crooked well is impossible The
drill is double and is so arranged thot u
opens, as it strikes the rocks, just below the
casing. and cuts a hole large enough to just
permit the casing to descend as is needed
to prevent caving of shattered rock. All
the mechanism of this wonderful drill is in
side the casing, and only a small portion Of
the drill is below the casing at any time, SO
there can be no falling IN a,e OF rock , 70 catch
against an old-fashioned drill 1t might hold
it fast ruin the we'll and the owner, but Ii 1t
should fall between this drill and the rock,
would let the flint fall to the bottom and be
crushed.
Thousands of wells have been ruined by
caying and holding the tools fast till "rocks
aud hills their lasting silence break In
California especially the rocks are badlS
broken, and many man has seen his hopes
and his fortune gone when his drill stuck
fast in the we'll. Joe saws he brings to SUCH
and to all well-drillers "glad tidings OF
great j)y. His jars and drills do not weigh
half as much as the present heavy tools In
use, so he has to use less power to raise the
new invention than Others use.
The invention has attracted profound at
tention all over the country, and letters are
pouring into Los Angeles daily to learn
about 1t. Joe seems philosophical
over the matter, but Is apparently
about as happy as II man can De who
achieves what he has been striving after
for ten years.
The Invention will add largely to the
wealth of this part of California, and in
crease the value of oil territory and the pro-
duction of oil.

The Prixate Sccretarx.

The Long & Mott Comedy Company ap-
peared last night at the Grand Opera House
in the aboye-named play to one of the larg
est houses ever witnessed in Los Angeles.
1t can safely be said that not one Of this
at the end OF the three acts which describe
the troubles of the Private Secretary. The
plot is not adifficnlt one to follow, but 1t can
not be said that the play is Il unskillfuily built
On the contrary. the author has cxerted
himself to bring about situations which are
not impossible at all, hut are nevertheless SO
ludicrous that laughter comes spontaneous
ly aud inevitably. How much this was the
case last night only those who were present
can really know, but II good. sound, healthy
peals OF laughter rolling uuinterruptedly,
as fusilade, through toe auditorium, are a
criterion, then indeed the play was adjudg-
a royal success right there. 1t would take too
much space to give synopsis OF the play;
it will suffice to say that the voluntary per-
sonation of the private secretary by Douglas
Cattermole and the involuntary one of
Douglas by the private secretary, lead to
complications Of most amusing nature. ].
N Long took the part of Robert Spaulding,
the private secretary and gulieless curate,
and from the m6ment of his appearance
until the closing scene there was not ges-
ture a word or afacial contortfon OF his which
did not elicit laughter. His get-up was per.

peration al believing himself blessed with

of excitement was created yesterday in
Farragut Square, where Senator Stanford's
house is situated. Several times during the
evening the neighbors in that vicinity no.
ticed a well dressed, gentlenanly appear
ing man who showed disposition to enter
the Senator's mouse surreptitiously: An
officer was finally summoned who told the
man to move on. This the latter refus to
do ana became very abusive. He finally
drew a revolver, and said 1t was his 1nten-
tion to enter the house and kill the entire
Stanford family. He said in explanation
that he was professor in Princeton Col
iege. and had applied for the Presidency OF
the new Leland stanford, Jr., University IN
California. Senator Stanford, he continued,
had not deigned TO answer his application
and this insult he proposed to wipe out In

amined was recognized as having escaped
