with saber thrusts and Schurman was
fatally shot. The dead and wounded
are:
Joseph Schurman, Polish miner,

after; A. A. Colley, of Streator, deputy
sheriff, stabbed in abdomen with
saber; seriously injured; +. F. Hanley,
Of Ottawa, slight flesh wound. cut by

Deputy Sheriffs Thomas Hanley, A.
A. CoLey, Machael Brennan and Thorn
as Brennan started out to capture
Schurman, who, with his wife. occupies
rooms in his parents home. The sher-
ifs surrounded the house to prevent
an escape, Schurman having twice
before got away from the off,
GERS. He is VIGOROUSLY vicious and
desperate character and was wanted
for the prominent part he played in
the riots at the Union shaft six weeks
ago when the company men at work
were brutally beaten as they came
from the shaft.
Attacked with sabers.
Deputy Sheriff Hanley went to the
door of the house and knocked. Re-
ceiving no reply, he went to the win
dow and heard the rattle of something
that afterward proved to be cavalry
sabers which the inmates had kept
stored under the beds. Hanley
opened the blinds and was con-
fronted by Anton schurman. Joseph's
father. who .brandished long saber
and tried to cut Hanley. Then an en-
trance was forced in the house by
breaking in the door. The sheriffs
were met by the older and younger
Schurman and their wives, all armed
with cavalry sabers.
Forced to Shoot.
A determined effort was made by the
officers to disarm their opponents, and
1t was not until one of their number,
A. A. Coney, had been dangerously
wounded that they resorted to the use
Of firearms. Three shots were fred
and young Schurman fell to the floor
mortally wounded. The miners living
in the neighborhood, hearing the shots,
rushed from their homes to the scene
Of the disturbance, and an effort was
made to mob the sheriff.
Saved by the Militia.
A telephone message was sent to the
militia barracks and the prompt re-
spouse of the soldiers probably saved
the lives of the officers, who were by
this time surrounded by an angry and
determined crowd of desperate for
eigners, many of whom were armed.
The militiamen used their bayonets
and dispersed the mob, resculng the
deputies from their perilous position.
The incident has aroused the an
archist element, who are vowing ven
geance against the deputies, and the
soldiers are now on guard around the
hotel, where the wounded sheriff is
living. Intense excitement prevails
and it is feared there will be more
bloodshed before the day is over.

is very serious and may prove fatal.

eagerly read. Those unfriendiy to the
government are caught up by those Op-
posed to the growing interests of the
United States in Brazil and made use Of
to prejudice the government and the
Brazilian people against us.
Speaking of the candidates for the
presidency of Brazil at the coming cleo
