Yamaliar ~tactics. lunging with his right,
his left, his head and shoulders, and oc-
casionally his leus, and playing a DEVILS
TATTOO on Siddons' chest or raining blows
on his face at will. Nevertheless Siddons
was remarkably clever in lodging, and
occasionally surprised the inviEcible by q
home thrust. Hopors were easy In the
first round. Weir got in the first
blow, but Siddons landed safely In
return, and the round closed with
short range smuggling, accompanied
by Mrs. Weir's piercing screams, which
she repeated whenever her dear hubby
was hit. In favor, Mayor Sutpin, who
was Blessing things in a general way,
told her he would put her off the stage IL
she did not keep quiet. The second
round was give and take, and was about
eyen but for one left-hander to Weir's
advantage. The third was an exchange
| of body blows, Siddons coming up pluck
lily, but getting rather the worst of 1t,
and this was kept up through the fight.
In the fifth round they clinched, but
broke away without damage. Siddons
now began to be puzzled by
| Weir's tactics, and the latter got
in two successive face blows. In
the sixth round Weir's superiority
began to tell. He scored first blood, and
followed the successful blow with a
number more. In the seventh Siddons
got more of the same, and in the eighth
he was rushed to the ropes. He became
groggy, and his legs were all abroad.
The ninth and tenth round brought Sid
Ions all the punishment he could stand,
but he responded to the call for the
eleventh round. Weir soon brought him
to his knees. Siddons called foul, which
was not allowed. Siddons showed up
with a broken jaw, and bleeding freely,
and could only say: Ladies' and gentle
men, he fouled me. l can't 1ght no man
like that" So the fight ended, and was
awarded to Weir.

Chairman HIidgley Says the War VIII Be
a Long and Desperate One.
CHICAGO, Feb.4.-"There is little Doubt
that the present freight war will be a
long and desperate one," said Chairman
Midgley, of the Southwestern Railroad
association, to-day. "No propositions of
settlement have been made, nor would
there be any use to make any at present.

further cut will also be met at once"

southwestern points, meeting rates, with
usual differentials from points connect
ing with Omaha, Kansas City and st.
Louis" Mr.. Midgley evidently regards
the sitution as serious, and expects a
bitter fight. He admitted that railroads
would loss heavily, and thereby confirmed
the belief that several roads involved in
the fight will suffer so they cannot pay
dividends on their share capital,

blows from a club, He then emptied his
revolver at his assaiiants. He fred FIVE
times, and shot four persons-Mike Heff,
ron a base ballist, in the mouth, and
John Gather, of Gather Bros, in the leg.
Both are innocent citizens, attracted to
the spot by curiosity. Two strikers were
hit, one Polander in the ear, and another
man in the neck. The crowd scattered
at the firing, but Immediately swellea to
several hundred frenzied men, ready to
wreak vengeance on any policeman or scab
they could catch. The police arrested two
men and took them to 'SquireShoemaker's
office. The mob followed and almost de-
molished the place in their efforts to re-
lease their companions. Meanwhile, in
the eastern part of the town, Boss Dun
can, of the Kohinor colliery, was at
tackled. Officers came to the rescue, fred
on the crowd and arrested two men,
whom they took to Squire MonauEh's Of
fee. Tho mob grew wild and tore the
entire front out OF the building inc gut
ted it, and the officers, with the squire,
jumped for their lives. The mob nave
taken possession of the street, but have
committed no further acts of violence.
Worse trouble is expected in the
morning. The Coal and Iron
police have thirty regulars about Shenan-
doah, and for fear of a further outbreak
the force at other points n be loss
ened. If trouble continues the sheriff
will organize a posse to help maintain
peace. 1t is understood that a large
force of Pinkerton men were Immediate
ly ordered to concentrate at Shenandoah.
Everything is quiet throughout the rest
of the coal region. The attack may have
been precipitated by the fact of the strik-
ers holding a mass-meeting, which lasted
until a late hour. Lee, Duffy, and other
leaders were present and made addresses.
