Arthur's Story.
Pryor's side of the story gets some
color from the fact that Harry Arthur
who is. however. one OF Pryor's follow
ers, says he himself is the man who
shot Pate in the face. According TO his
story he was standing on the bridge that
crosses o. i. creek, close to the scene
or the riot. when Jerry Pate and an
other man came from the other end OF
the bridge in a buggy with four men
running behind him When Pate reached
the spot where Arthur was standing he
jumped out of his buggy with a gun in
hand and grabbing hold of Harry Nc
Govern, he said: Here's one OF the
men we are after. I've got a warrant
for your arrest"
Il went up to Pate and said: You
can't take him.
Jim Todd stepped out too and said !:
NO you can't take me either
I'm a deputy constable and you've
got 10 CO." said Pate, and then turning
to the man in the buggy: Read that
warrant
Just then Mike Callahan came run
ming toward us from the northern end
of the bridge. He ran up to Pate and
asked him what right he had to carry
a pistol and demanded to see his permit
The two men exchanged angry words
and then Pate aimed at Callahan and
hred. Callahan returned the fire, and
then and the rest Of us began to shoot.
1 shot Pate"
While the riot was in progress it is
said that members Of the American pro-
tective association telephOned to Ar
mourdale and Argentine, strongholds of
that order. for reinforcements for 1000
armed men and that the assurance was
given that the men would shortly be on
the way. Members of the A. p a in
this city and Armourdale deny the truth
OF this story.
The affair is being heatedly discussed
at most all public resorts in the city to-
night and feeling runs very high
About a dozen arrests have been made
in connection with the rioting on the
boulevards, and the police are working
on evidence which they have gathered
from the men now under arrest. and IL
is probable that further arrests will be
made tomorrow. No further disturbance
has occurred tonight, and il is thought
that there will be no further trouble.
Returns received up TO II o'clock to-
night Indicate that Webster Davis. the

has been elected by good majority over
all other tickets, carrying with him the
entire republican ticket
As midnight approaches there are
signs OF things coming to a focus. An
them, are now forming to raid the
southern region. Reports made at IL
O'Clock by the deputies who are watch
ing the movement say the raiders start
some time between midnight and day
light. probably nearer midnight than
morning, with the purpose to. march
over this section and make the strike
complete in the southern region at least
by driving out the last man now at
work and forcing a general shut down.
The only operators now standing out
against the strikers are the II. c. Frick
company, the Mcclure company and w
j. Rainey. They make "a bold stand to-
night and say they will fight the matter
TO finish. The Frick men are at work
wherever they have not been driven off
by force. If a sufficient number Of dep
uties can be obtained 20 guard them
FricS will operate all his works tomor-
row, as there are plenty Of men who are
willing 90 work II they can do SO in
safety. Tonight 300 men. armed with re-
volvers and Winchesters. are on guard
in this region.
An unaccountable supply OF booze"
is flowing freely and late tonight hun
dreds OF strikers are practically insane
from drink
