and yells, made a rush for the Davitt
and Mcintyre tipples, across the river
in Point View. Both of these tipples
were destroyed and the slack piles fred,
and they ass now burning .fur1ously.
The mob, after accomplishing it's mis-

were burned while in the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie yards because the strikers
thought they were intended for the tn be
works, while in reality they were for
shipment. Then the crowd crossed the
bridge to Rhodes station and fired the
Junker Bros chute and platform. At
midnight the town was quieter.

ceived at Pekin during the morning
were about to attack the NINE Sheriff
Frederick swore in posse and set out
for the scene. The strikers assem- bled
at Bentonville and crossed the Illinois
river by ferries. There were about 400
men and some women The leader
of the strikers, with revolver
in each hand, cried out, Follow
me-" and the crowd charged
on the mine. The two Littles and
their two sons and colored m an re-

and opened fire on the attacking party,
some of whom were seen to fall. The
tire was returned and

into and through the tower.
The Little mine is one of the few
machine mines in this district and has
kept working through all the trouble,
the Little brothers themselves doing
most of the work and keeping the
machines going. Rumors have been
afoat for several days that the strikers
were intending making visit, and
when definite information was received
Edward Little called on the sheriff for
protection. twenty-five deputies came,
but as no strikers had put in an appear
ance at 8 p. m. they returned to Pekin.
They had not been away from the mine
half an hour when the mob started over
the river
And the Fight Soon Began.
The men who were in the coal chute
say that at least 200 of the strikers
were armed, and SO incessant was the
storm OF leaden missiles that in a few
minutes every board in the chute was
splintered.
In the meantime, a lot of men with
buckets of kerosene had saturated the
woodwork OF the buildings and half
dozen coal cars standing near, and ap-
piled match. When the flames began
to rise, the lesieged men were forced to
desert their place OF shelter and make
dash for life. William Dickson, col
ored man, was shot through the shout

Little had an eye shot away and the
engineer Was

Peter Little, Jr., received serious
wound in the breast. A hundred yards

the defenders OF the mine had been
driven off the mob stood about and
watched the destruction of the build

the old buildings, and it exploded with
a frlghttul roar. After this the mob

and scattered among the ravines and
