CHICAGO July Especial. THE
United States soldiers charged on the
strikers and sympathizers at the stock
yards this morning. Three thousand
strikers were on the track where the
train wanted to go out, and they
refused to move out Of the way to al
low it to do so. The soldiers charged
on the crowd with drawn bayOnets on
the double quick, and the crowd scat
tered in hurry. No one was hurt.
Before the mob got out Of the yards,
however; another crowd had gathered
and were making threatening demon
strations, and it looks as though there
might be serious trouble before to-
night.
When General Miles was informed
of the charge Of the soldiers, he re-

THE BATTLE FOUGHT.
Another Turn Of the Kaleidoscope.
The State,

Everything had passed off during the day
quietly. Chief Spy Gaillard Informed Mayor
Dargan during the morning that be hnd one
more search warrant. The mayor instructed
the chsif OF police 10 attend him. The ch ief
constable and one of his constables, attended
by the chief of police and the sheriff, made
the raid quietly and without the knowledge
of the citizens generally. Everything was
quiet up TO O'Clock. At this hour the con.
stables. with the exception Of Chief Gnillard

an attack upon Rogers. This fight ended
Rogers got In the bus and started down town,
but got out OF the bus'and went back 10 the
depot.
The chief of police heard OF this fight and
went to the depot, Rogers there asked Floyd
to give him faie fight. The chief of police
interfered. About this time Norment. Red

Constable McLendon interfered In the

at this point. The chief Of police was trying
to keep the men apart. Some words passed
between Redmond and McLendon and Nor

IRRELEVANT MATTER.
Resolutions Which Had No Reference
to the Difficulty.
The State.

The State.
DARLINGTON, March 29-Everything ia per.
fectly quiet, and the spies have not been on
the square today. Ghillard told the Mayor
that he had no Idea of searching private res.
licences. The mayor told him that there was
not the least danger Of trouble unless they
attempted TO search private houses. The Sum.
ter Light Infantry are here, and quartered in
the Guards armory. There was really no oc.
casion for their being ordered out.
Sumter, Florence and Cheraw have all sent
offers OF assistance in case Of necessity.
large meeting of the citizens Of Darling
ton, Sumter and Florence was held at the
court house this afternoon, at which the fol-
lowing resolutions were passed, without a
dissenting vote:
Resolved, That II Is the sense OF this meet
First. That mans house Ia his castle
and that he ia expected to defend the same
agains all unreasonable searches.
Second. That In the counties OF Darlington,
Florence and Sumter search OF private res
licences, private rooms and private apart.
ments, used by their owners as dwellings and
not as places OF trade, shall be neither toler.
ated nor permitted. Wehereby pledge onr.
selves to resist all such unlawful depredations.
Third. That the citizens Of Darlington, Flor
ence and Sumter hereby mutually pledge
to all such unlawfully acts, and we invite the
cooperation of all other law abiding and lib
erty-oviDg citizens.
There is nothing of further interest except
to say that the presence of spies, armed with
Winchester rifles. was taken to mean that
the issue was to be forced upon the people
and their inf1exible determination TO resist
the search of private dwellings. There has
not at any time been the least danger OF q
conflict unless the spies had attempted the In.
vasion OF private house; then there would
have been fight.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
the Way the State Staff Editor Re-
ports the Origin of the Fight.

T1MMoNsv1LLE, March 3l.-The evidence OF
several eye-witn esses TO yesterdays Daring.

yesterday that the killing OF Norment and
Redmond was nothing short of brutal mur-
der. From q cool and reliable witness the
following account OF the affray was gathered ;

and It's enforcement save the abuse of power
which was put In to The hands Of brutes by an
unscrupulous executive. The spies vented
would not cover before them, by these part
ing shots, which cut short the careers OF two
promising men.
Shortly before the arrival of the Atlantic

Rogers was not satisfied, and told Floyd tina,

cni who interfered In the fight" McLeDdon
rose from where he had been sitting and call

from his belt heavy navy revolver and shot

young Redmond's throat and sent a ball
through him. Immedinteiy the other spies
opened fred with their Winchesters upon the
| crowd, among whom were two ladies and q
number of boys. and the firing was returned
with pistols by some OF the citizens, only foul
| OF whom were armed.
In five seconds about one hundred shots
| were fired. Norment, Redmond and
spy Pepper were dead, McLendon mort.lly
wounded. and the chief Of police, l.. E. Nor.

Cullough bore charmed life, as Spy Cain
emptied his Winchester at him Mt short
range, but never touched him. The spies
seized their grips and took 10 the woods neal

The chief of police, although painfully
wounded, mounted his horse and rode uI

sounded. and In short time about IS or l0(

flower OF Darlington; quiet, sober and deter
