and diabolical plot was Matched and
hundreds of lives were to be taken.
Inspector Bonfeld, it is said, has been
aware of the conspiracy for some time,
but be waited until the evidence was
complete. Last evening several de-

Elliott proceeded to Deering street sta
ZION, where a reserve force was on hand.
The force proceeded to the corner eff
Ihrty.third street and Ashland avenue,
rear where one of the leading conspira-
tors resided. 1t was hoped to catch
dozen or more anarchists at the house,
bat only two men were found. One of
the suspected was captured as he came
from the house about daylight. Then
the officers entered the dwelling and an
other eonspirator was found. Under his
pillow was a knife and revolver, and up
on searching the room twelve sticks Of dy-
Mantle we're found.
The officers next visited a house on
V1inn street and another of the suspect
ed ones was arrested. A large quantity
Of dynamite was also found in this place.
Among the men arrested was one of the
men who was under arrest soon after the
Hagmarket massacre and subsequently
released. The others were prominent
anarchists during the trial.
It is stated that about twenty rdtse
mined men were in the conspiracy and
they we're at a certain hour after midnight
next to be at the homes of Grinnell Gary,
Bonheld, Frank Walker, Gen. Stiles, and
others prominent in the prosecution.
Dynamite was to be placed beneath the
nolses Of these, and was to be touched off
simultaneously. The board of trade was
also to be blown up at the same time.
Further arrests will bring to light an
even greater anticipated bloody horror.
