RIOTS AT PRIMARIES
DIsGRACEFUL FIGHTS BETWEEN
POLITICAL FACTIONS AT CHICAGO.
Many People Suffering with Broken

CHICAGO Oct 2-Bruised. battered and
bleeding. the contending city and county
factions in to-days Republican primaries
retired from the field of conflict to take
brief rest. preparatory to lighting the battle
to finish In to-morrow's convention. Both
factions claimed victory. Broken heads and
blacks eyes in more than score of pri-
mary precincts attested the fierceness OF
the battle waged between the city and
county factions for control of the conven-
tion and for supremacy in the local party
organization. Never before. il is said, in
the history OF Cook county were such
scenes enacted as were witnessed at many
Of the polling places in the First, Second.
Third. Fifth, Sixth Seventh. Ninth. Tenth,
Twelfth, Twenty-third and Thirtieth wards.
The disreputabe element; irrespective Of
party politics. was attracted to the polls
by the bitter partisan surroundings, and
thuggery. buldozing. rioting, rif1ing OF oal-
lct-boxes. wrecking of polling booths and
terrorism in general resulted.

polling places Will be made manifest In

and breaking the ballot box into splinters,

The Sixth ward was also the scene of dis
order and fighting. Several bloody fights
characterized the primaries in this ward.
So far be learned, nobody was
killed at the primaries but scores OF persons
were more or less injured. In the tough
districts decent citizens remained away
from the primaries, not caring TO imperil
their lives by attempting 10 vote.

eyewitnesses to the altercation. which

were riding and which ended at the corner
of Twenty-Fourth and State streets, where
Mr.. Pabst wrenched the whip from his
wife's hand as the latter struck him a
blow full in the face.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pabst were driving along
Twenty-seventh street about noon, when

DANVILLE, Ind. Oct. 2-The trial has
been one of surprises. The State finished
its case sooner and more abruptly than
expected The defense finished two days
sooner than anticipated. The rebuttal was
short. lasting but two hours. Mr.. Spaari
closed his argument to-day. and it was
generally expected that the jury would
take at least one day for consideration
before returning verdict The verdict
came unexpected. Mr.. Duncan, for the de-

Spaan was on the way to the depot when
the news of a verdict was reached Mr..
Spaan spoke with great earnestness dur

He considered the argument as outlined in
