and the militia marched into the
train and with the deputies returned
to the city, with uniforms torn, and
many bruised by stones. 81 be-
lieve," said Supt Atwater, Sat least a
dozen men were killed. / saw men
strewn all over the tracks, and they
were dead men, too. The mob was
not far away when we began to fire,
| and for about three minutes all hands
fought like devils, pouring leau into
the crowd. We were close and the
mob was big, and don't think many
bullets went wide, and more were
| killed than we will ever know about,
Injured whose names were given
were brought to the city by police.
| Reports Of the fight occasioned great
excitement at the army headquarters,
| and the request of Police Inspector
Hunt that several companies be sent
to the scene with IA Gattling gun add
ed to the feeling. Mob quoted at
evening, however, and regulars and
Gattllng gun were held at the depot.
Captain Maher conferred with
Superintendent Atwater and con-
cluded it was impracticable to clear
the track, and that as the mob was
growing wilder every moment, the
best thing to do was to leave the
place before the strikers proceeded
to such extremities as would neces-
state his opening fire on them. He
accordingly detailed one half of his
company to move a car which
blocked the tack, and with the bal
ance held back the crowd which be-
gan to press closer and closer as it
saw signs # the troops making a re-
treat. He drew his men back slowly
several times, turning them to con-
trent the crowd when it came too
close. Again and again the mob
shouting, bowling and using the vii
est language rushed, but every time
Maher met them steadily with his
men and the crowd paused before
threatening rifles. Finally severa,
toughs on edge of mob rushed 1t
Yardmaster Mckee, che fourishing
a revolver. Mckee drew his pistol
and fired, but missed. Strikers by
this time were fairly wild and bricks,
stones, coal, and coupling pins rain
ed around troops. Lieut., Reed was
struck twice on the head by stones
falling like dead man. Maher
concluded time had come and whirl-
ing his men charged with the above
result. Mob broke before charge,
but quickly rallied and after short
pause occupied nl,htia and Deputies.
Others ran cars into pit of turntable,
making machinery useless. Gang of
me-, set to work to remove obstruc-
ton, while the mob which had grown
ugly, stood in front bowling and let
ting fly stones at the soldiers. This
condition of affairs prevailed for two
or three hours, the militia behaving
with excellent spirit and showing
good discipline. The mob encouraged
by the fact that the troops did not
fire, began active hostIlities. 4
crowd of men pushed a freight car
from siding track where the train
which brought the militia to the
scene was standing, with the inten-
ton of blocking the tracks, so the
militia would have no line of re
treat.
