BRUTES OF TUGMEN.
A Scene Among the Modern
Savages of Chicago.
A Row Breaks Out Over a
Little Child.
BEATEN WITH BOTTLES
Women Pounded Into Insensi-
bility by Drunken Men.
A Father Ripped Open by
His Son.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The new govern
ment pier last mig hit was the scene of a
fight melted by several drunken tugmen
which nearly cost the lives of several
people. The row started over the use OF
vile language in front of a four-year-old
child by lot of brawling tugmen and
the lOafers who infested the place.
John Flynn, the father, attempted to
take the child away from the tugmen,
and the latter resisted, assisted by Cap
tains Brown and Smith. In less than
minute Flynn, man named McDer-
mOnd and the tugnen were engaged IL
rough and tumble fight, in which beer
bottles, dishes and every other available
weapon was used. Nearly every body
around the place took one side or the
other and blood flowed in streams
Mrs. McDermond and Mrs. Flynn tried
to interfere, but were beaten into insensi-
bility with beer bottles in the hands Of
the tugmen At last Flynn and McDer-
mond sank to the floor half iusensible.
Their assailants ground their heels into
the faces of the helpless men, and when
they thought Flynn and his companion
were finished, threw them into the lake.
The men Immediately sank and would
have been drowned had not the tug Sun
beam, Captain Smith, just then steamed
up and picked the men from the water.
The tugmen refused to let the tug land,
and sacking all the beer and refresh
ment stands which had not already been
demolished, they attacked the boat with
dishes and bottles, keeping it at dis
tance.
The crew of the Sunbeam, after con-
sultation. agreed to force landing and
take the injured woman at all hazards.
Each man armed with revolver sprang
upon the pier and at the points of the
guns compelled the drunken travellers
to stand back while the women and
children were carried aboard.
Angry demonstrations were made and
a number of people who wished
to come in on the Sunbeam.
among them being several wO-
men, were afraid to approach
the boat With all the injured people
safe aboard, Captain Smith steamed
back to the city. Warrants have been
sworn out for the arrest of all men con-
cerned in the assault.
