Brought to an End.
ST. LOUIS, No., Dec. 26.-About four
o'clock this morning James n. Leary,
man with record, was shot and prob
ably fatally wounded by City Attorney
James J. Butler, OF this city. The
shooting occurred in a disreputable

STRIKING BAKERS.
Big Concerns in Chicago Tied Up-BOth
Sides Remain Firm.

Big Concerns in Chicago Tied Up-Both
Sides Remain Firm.
Chicago, Dec. 26.-The bakers' strike
is spreading and to-day six more
bakeries were compelled to shut down
for lack of men. Thl1 now makes ten
bakeries out Of sixteen in which the
men are controlled by the association
in which the strike is on.
The strikers claim tonight that the
men employed by William Kafitz, forty
in number, Will join them tomorrow.
The gtriko seema to ho running largely
by nationalities. Saturday all the
strikers were Germans and to-day
they are all Swedes. The bosses claim
that they will soon have all the men
they need, and Heisaler & Junge, the
largest bakers affected by the strike, to-
day secured without much effort sew
enty-one new mer to replace the eighty
men who walked out on Saturday.
The men admit that the factof large
number OF unemployed bakers is a
heavy handicap against them, but claim
that they will win out. The bosses on
tho other hand profess to be well satis-
fed with the conditions at present ana
say that they simply c.nnot lose, So
there are too many men outof work and
desperately anxious to get it to cause
them to suffer any grcat inconvenience.
This morning about twenty men were
put to work in the places of the strikers
and the management is very sanguine
OF defeating the union.
The big building occupied by the
William Schmidt Baking Company on
Claybourne avenue was practically de-
serted this morning and the customary
whirr oil machinery could not heard.
AT s o'clock tonight the striking
bakers mot in secret session and at
midnight were still locked up and en-
gagged in an animated discussion. They
announced, however, that they had no
intention OF yielding and declared that
they believed the fight is practically
won.
