ing that the body Of an officer was found i. on the
corner of West Lake street and Elizabeth after
midngbt with nine bullet wounds In the corpse.
The distance from the scene OF carnage on West
Randolph street has led to the theory tnat he had
been shot down while on his beat. This morning
there were at the county hospital ~ wounded
officers and 3 citizens. In proDihg tne wounds
the physicians found large pieces OF zinc. One
small. thinspiece of zinc made hole in a mans
leg as large as a grape shot would make.
THE words heard on every side this morning
were of utter and abhorent condemnation of the
assault made on the police The occurrences of

guarded but in1ammatory utterances in his news
paper, in which he has, within the past few days;
urged dynamite warfare against the police and
all regularly constituted authorities. His dlrecs
connection and that of his companions In the
events OF the pasttwo days appears very clear.
Mayor Harrison
asserts his ability to preserve absolute peace in
Chicago without outside aid. He argues that the
occurrencesof last night could not have been fore
seen, and was unparalleled, even in American
history The entire police force is on duty and Its
members are apparently in first class condition
While their duties have been arduous, the de-
partment is equipped with numerous patrol wag-
ons, and they have been able to reach the scenes
of disorder without the fatigue consequent upon
marching The police are accorded by the entire
press of the city the most unstinted praise for
their discretion, bravery and excellent discipline
elements. The only published criticism upon the
mayor was that he did not forbid the assemblage
of last night, and similar ones during the preced-
ing three or four years. Up to IL O'Clock, today,
no proclamation had been issued forbidding all fu-
ture gatherings, but it was assumed by the press
that this would end for a time all assemblies by
Socialist advocates.
Mob violence again asserted itself in the south
western part of the city this morning. About
O'clock groups of men, women and children began
to gather on Center Avenue, and these groups
soon aggregated 1900 persons. On one. of the
corners is the drug store OF Samuel Rosenfeld II

venting its spite. Men Surged toward the build

The fury of the mob was directed against the
druggist because he had telephone in his store
and they had an idea that Rosenfeld was giving
'tips' to the police. The frightened druggist

last words TO the mob last night which led to the
slaughter. He was arrested this morning, and
securely Gagged at the central ststion. Fielding
was suffering from gunShot wound III the leg.

carrying away some liquor. The police returned

It has finally been decided by the mayor to issue
a proclamation 1t will call on all persons to
keep off the streets after dark, and warns them
not to gather in crowds on the streets or on va
cant lots.

however, a raid was made on the printing office,
and 25 printers were arrested.
An inquest upon the body of Police Oficer John
Diegan killed last night, began at the city clerks
office this afternoon. 1t is thought that the evil
dence will result in an Indictment of Spies and
other anarchists for murder.
At 2.30p M, the city was quiet. The railroad
companies have sustained no molestation of any
kind and, with the exception of the Lake Shore,
are moving about all the freight offered The
Northwestern road has arranged to resume opera

The Dead and Wounded.
Forty-ive wounded officers and men are at the
county Hospital. Officer Degan is tho only one
dead among the injured officers. The announce
ment of the death of officers Barrett and Hansen
was wrongly reported. At o'clock Officer Bar
rett was reported dying, and there appears to be
little hope OF saving the lives of Officers John
Miller, Jacob Hansen, Nelson Hansen and Thos.
Redden, The remaining "a officers in the county
hsspital wards all have show of recovery but
some are extremely low. Two rioters, Emil Lutz,
and John Lepland, are in very critical condition
and it is expected they will die. The names of
the following persons at the hospital suffering
from wounds did not appear in the earlier ac-
