issiled, however, a raid was made on the
printing Office and % printers we've ar
rested.
Officer John Diegan, began this afternoon.
IT is thought that the evidence will result
in an indictment of Spies and the other
anarchists for murder. At 23O y. IN. the
city was quiet. Hallway companies have
suffered no molestation with the exception
of the Lake Shore are moving about all the
freight offered. FOrty-iiVc wounded OIL
GERS and men are at the county hospital.
There appears to he little hone of saving
the lives of Officers John Miller, Jacob
Hansen, Nelson Hansen and Thomas Red
den The remaining 81 officers in the hos
pital wards all have q show for recovery,
but some are extremely low. Two rioters
are in u very critical condition and it is
expected they will die. On the door of
the Office of the Arbeter Ieitung, the fol
lowing notice in German is posted The
Arbeiter Heitung Will not be published
for the next few days. All advertise
ments etc, can be lett in the basement"
| There is no truth in the rumored killing
of police officers this morning on the

on the Office of the Arbeiter Ieitung.
| They arrested man in the Office who,
upon being searched, produced large re
vOlVer. He was placed under arrest In

raided Rothschild's drug store carrying
off every thing in the store. They then
raded a liquor store in the vicinity carry
ing away some liquor. The police return
ed to the scene and succeeded in dispers
ing the mob, It has finally been decided
by the mayor to issue Il proclamation, call
ing on all persons to keep off the streets
after dark, and warns them not to gather
in crowds on the streets or in vacant lots.
The crowd that wrecked the drug
store was composed of men, women
and children, who acted like insane
people, the male portion yelling, the
famaes screaming and the boys whistling.
The store was completely Quilted The
rioters drunk up all the liquor. The next
point of attack was WeiskOpfs saloon 1t
is under the hall where the anarchists held
their meetings. Barrels of liquor were
rolled out, the heads broken and the
rioters revealed in the liquor. Bottles OF
whiskey wine and beer were consumed
and their work of demoishing the fixtures
was proceeded with. Not a label or chair
was lett unbroken, the ice chest and coun-
ter being split up into kindliug wood.
Lieut.. Sheppard with large force of men
were quickly summoned and the mob ran
like frightened ours before them, Skulkng
away into houses and alleyways. After
driving them from the streets, the police
retired leaving guard to preserve order.
The Indignation of the public respecting
the atrocious occurrences last night is in
no wise lessened. The prompt action of
the authorities i'll arreSting three OF the
chief conspiratorS and accommodating evi-
dence which will it is now believed fix the
guilt upon them, has called for unstlnted
praise. Places of business are open but
there is Il cessation of all ordinary trans
actions. The mayor has been assured
hy all classes of citizens of theil
desire to aid in every possible way
