Serious Riot ut Duluth.

Duluth. Minn., july 6-This city to-day
was the scene of bloody riot which ragged
for three hours and resulted in the death
OF two men and the wounding of thirty to
forty The strike which eliminated to-day
in bloody riot, began last Tuesday morn
ing. when 45O Of the gas and water CON-
pany's employees, without a word OF warn
ling or demand OF any nature threw
down their picks and shovcls and, form
ing into line, marched to the works Of
the street contractors ind demanded that
all other workmen join them. Partly by
threats ana intimidation 500 more work
men Joined them for o time. Yesterday
the 200 workmen employed by Wolf Il
Truax were notified that the wages that
they had asked for would be paid, and it
was in the protection of these men that
the terrible results Of to-day followed.
Last night about 200 hundred of the
strikers procured cartridges ANA revolvers
but this morning they loudly proclaimed
they N can't no harm. Suspicion was thus
allayed About o'clock the mob assem-
bled on a vacant lot and after speeches In
foreign languages they marched in u body
to where 100 men were working aud
guarded by squad cf police. Without
warning . shot rang out and then the
shots came like hail about the police. The
officers drew thcir revolvers and stood
shoulder to shoulder against the mob.
Their aim was cooler and botter and for
an hour held the mob at bay, when Com
pany X of the militia appeared and the
rioters took to their heels. The exact list
of hurt cannot be learned. Two OF the
mob were killed outright, large number
wounded and nine Of the police were in
