 Chicago, July s.-yhs seat of war ir the great railroad ssrike was transferred ,o-day to Hammond, Ind. just across he border line, and where from an Iarly hour mob violence reigned s'i. prems. Two companies of regulars were dispatched to tho scene. Later here was pitched battle between the regulars and the rioters.
 This Is the list of ossualities: Charles Fleischer, carpenter, a resident of Hammond, killed instantly, bullet en. tering his abdomen and passing clear through the body. W. H. Campbell, shot In right thigh, wound probably fatal Victor seitor, also of Hammond, shot in knee, amputation, condition critical. Miss Annie Flemming, of East Chicago, bullet wound above knee, wound not serious. Unknown man, stranger in Hammond, shot in right les, amputation necessary.
 The trouble commenced at daylight when Q mob, which had been in the neighborhood since the evening before, overturned fifteen freight cars on the Chicago and Calumet Terminal road between Hammond and Calumet. Six were thrown across the main tracks of the Michigan Central while two others were thrown aoross the rails of the Nickel Plate.
 At daybreak the rabale set fire to @ Pullman car that had been run on 8 sidetrack. A call was sent in and the fire department responded with alacrity, but not before four Pullmans had been badly scorched.
 Shortly after daybreak the north- bound train on the Mohon road reached the depot. As soon as it stopped it was surrounded by @ crowd of strikers, boys and women, and the enginasr and fire men were ordered to get down from the cab. Many of the mob were armed with revolvers. Many more held stones in their hands and as a consequence the two employees were quick to obey. One of the strikers then took possession of the engine and the train was side- tracked.
 .-. A telegram was sent to Chicago ask ing military assistance. There was no immediate response, but at 11:5O o'clock Company D, 18th United States h. fantry, thirty-fve strong, arrived in two coaches. The regulars disembarked at the depot and marched to the side- track where the train was stationed. The mob fell back at the approach of the military, but hooted and jeered and the scene was veritable bcdlam. One half the company took up position in front of the engine and the other half in the rear, and preparations made to move the train. Quickly, however, the crowd increased until it was nearly 2,000 strong, and realizing the fact that reinforcements were necessary, a detail was sent to the telegraph office with in- struotlons to wire to Chicago for more troops.
 In the meantime Major Reilly ordered Captain Hartz to clear the tracks to the sidewalks with fixed bayonets. The troops advanced, the mob retreated and for the time was held at bay.
 Shortly before 1 o'clock a train of empty cars was started from the yards, the way being cleared by the soldiers. The mob contented itseR with jeering and invective. Temporary quiet was se- cured while Sheriff Fredericks read a telegram just received from Governor Matthews stating that large force of state troops would reach Hammond tonight from Laporte, Rochester and other points, with instructions not only to maintain law and order at all haz- ards, but to cooperate with the federal troops. This dispatch said that the whole state force would be sent to the scene, if necessary.
 The mob listened in silence, but whan the sheriff had concluded l. sent up a yell of defiance.
 Nhe mob wenIt to the ladjacent prairie on either side of the tracks for while, but becoming emboldened by the apparent inactivity of the military again closed up on the rails, only to be repulsed. This condition of affairs continued intermittently until 4 D. m. when the train that brought the sec ond detachment of regulars was run into the Monon yards. Just as 1t was brought to standstill several box cars were dumped on the track block and half north. At about the same time the Monon mail train came in from the south, carrying the mail mat ter from Indianapolis, Louisville, Cin- cinnati and intermediate points, A company of regulars was ordered to the state hne. but had hardly passed before the mob assembled at the state crossing when rope was thrown around a Pullman car standing on a side track few yards north, with the evident intention of throwing it over on the main track and preventing the further passage of the train. There were regulars on the engine, regulars on the roof. and regulars at the car windows, all of them waiting for such a l condition as was now imminent An of- 1 hcer on the locomotive gave the word | and toward west and toward east vol | ley was pouced from windows, engine | and roofs. Some of the bullets went | overhead, many more ploughed the
