SAILORS WAR AT RED0NDO,
Union Seamen Precipitate a
Bloody Conflict.
The Schooner Halcyon Boarded
at Dead of Night.
An Assault Made on the Non-U Union
Crew With Firearms.
Many Shots Exchanged-The Marauders
Driven or with the Loss of One
Man Killed and One
Captured.

Special to the HERALD1
REDoNDo BEACH, May 6.-About III
O'Clock last night the schooner Halcyon.
commanded by Captain Rice, moored
alongside the lumber dock of the Re-
dondo wharf, was boarded by eight or
ten men, who reached the Halcyon's
deck by stealth from yacht which had
been brought silently alongeide. When
confronted by the first mate, who was on
watch, it was soon made manifest that
the boarders were a crew of sailors
union men, who had come around from
San Pedro for the purpose OF stampeding
the non-union crew of the Halcyon.
After some contention between Captain
Rice and his crew and the sailors union
gang the latter commenced firing at Cap
tain Rice and his men and also at OF
fcer Foyer and his deputies on the
wharf.
The shooting from the buccaneers was
fast and furious, some 20 shots having
been fred before Captain Rice's party
and the peace officers opened in return,
but when they got fairly warmed to their
work it appears that they did some good
work, ae the attacking party beca ne de-
moralized and began to Chamber down to
their yacht. Officer Foyer succeeded in
capturing one of the party and soon had
him locked up. The balance of the
party got away from the Halcyon
to their yacht and made their escape.
The melee was Of short duration as the
attacking party found somewhat
warmer rece eption than they had entici-
pated. About 40 or 80 shots were ex-
| changed before the battle ended.
Mr.. I'll. q. Downing, OF the custom
house at San Pedro, who was a pas
senger today by the Corona, en- route fol
| San Francisco. informed the HERALr
correspondent that the Sailors union
| yacht returned early this morning tc
! San Pedro with about half dozen live
union men and one dead on p a.9J %9Re Il /. LAT
ter's na Frenchy." The yacht was
covered with blood and bloody tracks
from the boat landing were noticed by
Mr.. Downing and others.

then fred in the direction from which
the shots came, for the night was
dark and the smoke was thick. The
deputy constable had come aboard with
O revolver and it had only one cartridge
in it. When he found that all he could
do was Just to snap 1t, he ran back to
the cabin. I had already gone there for
my Winchester, which WAS out of order.
The magazine does not work well and
supply the cartridges properly. Then
we went on deck together, and fred
one or two shots. Then they ran in
every direction, and one man named
Tom Peterson fell down the hold. He
stayed there till morning, and when the
boys told him had gone ashore he got
on top OF the sling and went upon the
dock, where he Was arrested as soon as
he landed. Isasked him how he got of
the weasel and he said he came by the
bow breast line. That of course was a
lie for have had no breast lines out
from either end OF the vessel. When
he fell down the hold he trie d to thro v

LIFE'9 sEAsoNa

When all the world is May day,
And ell the skies are blue,
Lord Life and Youth take play day
Among the buds and dew;
When all the world is May day,
And clouds are far and few.
When all the world Is summer,
And dusks are poppy heads, Cg
Love 10 the shy newcomer,
Who nests in lily beds;
When all the world is summer,
And clouds are rosy reds.
When all the worlds September,
And morns are golden mist,
Regret may still remember
The long forgotten tryst;
When all the worlds September,
And clouds are twilight kissed. .t
When all the world is winter,
And all the sky alarm,
Ghosts eyes, that burn and splinter,
In ages ashes form;
When all the world Is winter,
And clouds are driven storm.

A Chrome In Prose.

Priscilla looked longingly ut her old worn
gown and sighed. The gown hung defect
edly on a hook. 1t was a common iron
hook. Priscilla sat with her pretty, dim
pied chin in her hands and gazed at the
frayed folds and the ragged ruffles Pris-
ella was fair and young, and the gown was
old and gray, but Priscilla looked longing
ly at her old, worn gown and sighed.
Other gowns hung near; marvellous robes
Of satin and velvet; tea gowns which were
dreams; dinner dresses with bell skirts,
travelling gowns; prints and princess robes;
walking suits with Russian blouses; all
hung there in full view, and each seemed
silently to claim the maiden's favor
But Priscilla frowned upon them all in
turn, and sadly gazed at the old worn
gown. And the sun shone brightly, and
the bells Of the horse cars jingled, and far
down town the shop windows displayed
their glittering baubles.
And Priscilla looked longingly at her
old, worn gown and sighed:
II wish could wear it," she slowly said;
''it has pocket in it."-Vogue.
