the superintendent's head. Another
crash and Capt. Dawson was nearly
felled to the ground by an earthenware
vessel, which struck him OH the head,
being thrown from an up stairs window.
Such actions as these precluded all pos
sibility of further leniency. Supt. Col
bert pulled a revolver from each pocket
and pointed their muzzles into the faces
of the surging mass of people. Slowly
the crowd parted and
The Negro Was Recaptured.
That no sooner was accomplished than
the crowd made rush for the man who
was attempting to drive the car. "Hang
the scat" "Over with the car" KNOCK
- out of him." and similar express
sions filled the air. The drivers name
was Madison, and in an instant he was
pulled over the dashboard, while several
men belabored him over the head. The
police charged, and again the rocks be-
gan to fly. One huge brick struck Capt.
doubling him up with pain, while a
strikers fist landed beside his nose.
Another missile struck Patrolman
Steele beside the head, cutting his he'll

PatrOlman Bob Smith Jared worse than
all. A big stone struck him on his hell
met on the back of the head, ripping
open the scalp and hair and laying bare
the bone. After severe fighting the
crowd was dispersed and Quieted. Poor
Bob Smith was carried away by an am
bulance. A few minutes later the car
was run down to the Louisiana street
barns.
This ended the attemp to run cars to-

will make no effort to resume till Mon

an attempt will be made tomorrow and
are keeping up their vigilance at all
the stables, where everything is quiet.
Tonight the board of public safety de-

service Monday, and Mayor Sullivan
issued proclamation closing all saloons
until the strike is over.
A Committee in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Feb. a. Matters have
come to such a serious point in the
street railway difficulty at Indianapolis
that committee represe nting the labor
organizations there arrived in Chicago
sOU"J AO1 eiO Pul pooO VI OCC-
ing the directors of the COM
pany, who are Chicago capitalists.
The members of the committee say
the whole trouble lies with President
FrenZel, who locks himself up in his
office and refuses tOreceive any commit
tee of citizens to talk on the matter.
The committees object in coming to
Chicago was to see if the directors
would not insist on Mr.. Fren-
zeEs talking over the matter
with representative citizens, or
would not send one of their number to
see the situation. The directors refused
to call a meeting to discuss the subject
and are determined to sustain Mr.Fren-
eel. The committee says the directors
are annoyed because they could not OBJ
tain certain privileges from the city of
Indianapolis which they wished, and
apparently are utterly Indifferent as to
whether or not street cars run in In
dianapolis.
