| Armour e. Co.'s imported workmen, three
or four hundred in number, went out this
morning, as they did not care to remain
any longer il the old hands were to como
back. Mr., Cudahy assured them of protec'
ton II they desired to stay, but tboy had
concluded that, while protection might pro.
tect for u while, tho other butchers would
ultimately mako it too unpleasant for them
TO remain, and they had better
go at once. A train was telegraphed
Tor, and before IL o'clock the last non union
man had left the promises As they
were being loaded on the train tho chief clerk

Lake Shore train the butchers in the front
cars, and the guards in the three rear ones.
/ The guards had their rifle muzzes pointing
out of the windows. Thore was a stop az
Halsted and Fortieth streets to attach other
cars, and the train was switched back a little
distance. Quite crowd of curious people had
assembled, an l. as the inmates of the train
were recognized some jeerins remarks were
made. As the train repassed this point a
Pinkerton man pushed his rifle out, AIMED at
the crowd and fired and Terry Begley fell,
mortally wounded. The noise of the explo-
sion caused excitement in and outside of the
cars. In a moment it was followed by a
regular volley from the other riflemen, and the
crowd, which was largely composed of school
children, fed in panic. In the Aight,a man
fell, and was hastily carried away by his
friends. He was also wounded. The train
steamed on. Capt. Marley of the town of
Lake police was at hand with few men,
! and would have arrested the man he saw fire

riot might have resulted. He telephoned
to the Twenty-seconl street station, hove
ever. and when tn, train reached
there, it was boarded by detachment Of
Chicago police, who placed all the specials
und II arrest When the train reached the
terminal station at Van Buren, there was
another squad of police from the Harrison
street sta ion, REINFORCED by detectives, and
the whole crowd was marched to the armory.

living late this afternoon, but his death was
almost momentarily expected He IS an en-
ploying teamster, engaged about the yards,
has wife and family, and took no part in
the strike.
The Pinkerton men say that the strikers
made the assault first with stones and then
with revolvers, and that they did not retail
ate until they had been fired upon. Captain
Marley said, however, that the Pinkerton
men did the first shooting, and without any
provoc ltion. When the specials were lodged
in the Harrison street station, the city police
began picking out the ones who did the shoot
ing. Capt. Markey, three boys and man,
who were pi resent, all declared they could
identify the man 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. After the boys
had picked out two men, the whole force was
filed back into the court room, where Lieut..
Kepler and central station detective ex-
amino their rifles and revolvers to see if they
contained any empty shells. One had all
empty shell in it, and the bearer was told to
stand inside the court riljng
