CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-The stock yards strike
which promised to pass into history as a
bloodless one has been attended by the sac
rifice of human life. Terry Regley and
another man were mortally wounded by
Pinkerton's men this afternoon, and some
$50 of the latter were arrested to await the
disposition on the charge of murder. All
but six were afterward released. Armour
& Co.'s imported workmen, 800 or 400 in
number, went out this morning. They
had made up their minds that they did not
care to remain any longer if the old hands
were to come back. A train was tele-
graphed for, and before IL o'clock the last
non-union man had left the premises. As
they were being loaded On the train the
chief clerk at Armour's main Office told the
men to remember their numbers on the
rolls and assured them that if at any time
within the next two years they wanted
work they would be given the preference.
The men were on the Lake Shore train, the
butchers in the front cars and the guards
pointing out of the windows. There was
a stop at Halsted and Fortieth streets and
the train was switched back some little dis
tance. Quite crowd of curious people
had assembled and as the inmates of the
train were recognized there .were some re-
marks made. AS the train passed this
point Pinkerton man pushed his rifle out,
aiming at the crowd, and raising the ham

FIRED HIS WEAPON
and Terry Regley FELL mortally wounded.
The noise of the explosion caused great ex-
citement in and outside Of the ears. In a
moment it was followed by a regular vol
ley from the other ritlemen, and the crowd,
which was largely composed OF school
children. fled in panic. In the fight a
man fell and was hastily carried away by
his friends, He was also wounded. The
train steamed on, but at Twenty-seeond
street station, however, it was boarded by
a detachment Of Chicago police, who placed
all the specials under arrest Regley was
still living late this afternoon, but his death
was almost momentarily expected. He is
teamster engaged about the yards, has a
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 thai they
made no attack until they had been fired
upon. Capt. Markley said, however, that
the PinkertOn men
DID THE FIRST SHOOTING
and without any provOcation. Joseph Hill
and Walter Andrews are the two men
identified as the ones who did the shooting.
Richard Ladies, Guy Sievere, Robert J. Bat
ram and Stephen Peyner confessed to hav-
ing shot into the crowd of strikers. These
six men are held at the armory. Capt. JOY,
in charge Of Pinkerton men, said the men
picked out by the city police were not the
guilty parties. He said also that the strik-
ers gathered about the car. four hundred
