News OF the Mayors Death Creates
Great Excitement

When the news of Mayor Harrison's
assassination reached the down town
streets immense crowds gathered around
the newspapers buildings. reading the
bulletins posted from time To time with
eager interest.
About forty minutes after the murder
extra editions OF several morning and
evening papers were on the streets and
the cries Of hundreds OF newsboys. "All
about Carter Harrison's murder" soon
aroused the people TO a pitch Of intense
excitement The newspapers were sold
at all prices and the supply was totally
inadequate. Crowds quickly assembled
ia front OF the few bulletins telling Of
the assassination and the apprehension
Of the murderer,

started on their way To the city hall,
where the murderer was most likely to
be confined. or To the Harrison residence
on Ashland boulevard.
That the thought uppermost in the
minds OF these men was TO take the life
OF the assassin. it needed no questioning
TO disclose. The common movement at
once alarmed the police authorities. and
all the reserves were marshalled in the
heart Of the city.
There are grave fears that some out
break may occur. bat despite the ex-
cited condition OF the steadily increasing
crowds. heroic efforts viii lie made TO
protect the prisdAsr from violence. and
II seems hardly possible that il il shall
become necessary to remove him from
the city the authorities can be prevented
from accomplishing such coup.
In the lobby OF every hotel. in restaur-
ants. bar rooms and in all places where
people congrcgate, the news was noised
about with astonishing rapidity and in
quiries were pressed right and left for
information IN the matter. Several
meetings that were being held in differ
ent parts Of the city were hastily ad-
journed when the dreadful news reached
them. and many threats were heard
against the assassin could his where
abouts be established.
The crowds on the streets increased as
the evening advanced but beyond the
threats and mutterings heard at every
step, no concerted move was made
toward administering summary justice
TO the murderer Here aud there were
heard excited shouts OF where is he"
"hunt him up, "let us have him. and
CALCULATIONS Of like character. but they
were quickly hushed by the police. The
murderer was watched closely by the
crowd at the Central station. As he
was being brought in fcw threats were
