milwaukee Riots.


MILWAUKEE, May 5.-ReSidents of the
southern portion OF the city, who were
bestir at an early hour this morning, noticed
the movement Of great number of POlocks
who had participated in yesterdays riots at
Baywiew, singly and in pairs. making
their way towards the larger Polish church
in that section of the city. By $3.50 no less
than 400 were here assembled. each bearing
n huge club, iron bar. or some other i'm
plement of warfare. The men were formed
into line, and at the order Of Forward,
march," proceeded IN the direction Of Bay
view. raising lhe cry as they went, XIII
the militia and burn the millSw Being APP
prised of the mobs coming, Maj. Traeumer
ordered the four companies under his COM
mand from inside the rolling mills encl0S-
ure. where they had been encamped during
the night, and stationed them in the best
position to check the advancing mob. AS
the latter approached they were ordered to
stop. No heed was given, and Maj. Traeu-
mer repeated the order and gave the warm
ing that to advance meant certain death.
Again the crowd, which was now about
fifteen hundred feet distant, ignored the
caution and pressed forward to the bridge
Mai. Traeumer had orders to keep any
FIRE UPON THEM
as last resort, is the order could not other
wise be enforced. Accordingly, when no
attention had been given to the second
warning, he gave the order to fire. AS
nearly as could be learned, the six COM
panies emptied their guns with steady aim
Snto the throng. Seeing several of their
number fall wounded or killed, the mob
threw themselves fiat on the ground and
sought the shelter of the railroad embank
ment. The level of South Bay street and
Lincoln avenue being higher than the
marsh. was also sought by the frantic
men, who tumbled headong into
the water. There was every evidence on
the surrounding objects to show that the
militia had fired low and with intent to
kill" as one OF them expressed it. The re-
suit OF the first volley having had such a
Statutory effect. the militia companies again
stacked their arms and portions of the
routed mob returned to the scene of the
tragedy. \ squad Of police put in appear
ance and began to assist the wounded
several OF the latter were taken to neighbor-
ing saloons and doSed with whisky, after
which they were conveyed to their homes.

The rioters, in greater part, retreated to
that section of the city wherein they re-
side in the Fourteenth ward. and though
numerous threats were made to reorganize
arm themselves and renew the
ATTACK ON THE MILITIA,
they were not carried out. The excitement
throughout the Fourteenth ward reached a
high pitch. and threats of vengeance were
heard on every corner. Knots of men could
be seen gesticulating and discussing the
tragedy in front Of every saloon, in front of
the victims houses, and even at church and
school doors. All were indignant over
what they termed the unproyoked murder
of their countrymen. In the western por-
ton Of the city the German So
calists have caused the police and
the militia reserve at the armory
great amount Of trouble. Three times
have they been called to Milwaukee Garden
200 strong to diSperse a crowd of 2,00O or
more strikers and socialists, each time
the vigorous use of pOlicemen's clubs upon
the heads and backs Of the mob being nee
essary. Two leaders of the socialists have
been arrested, which will undoubtedly have
tendency to lessen the enthusiasm of that
class, and do much towards stopping fur
ther rioting. Gov Rusk will remain on the
field with the state MALTA until all trouble
has been ended, and quiet restored. His
action was indorsed at large meeting OF
business men at the Academy of Music this
afternoon.
