Trouble Begins With the Killing of
One of the Strikers,
Whose Followers Attempt to Lynch
the Party Doing the Shooting
Police Charge the Mob, Beating
Many Into Insensibility-Qu
Only Restored When the Militia
Put in an Appearance-M0re
Trouble Anticipated To-Day.

CLEVELAND, July 2-Bloodshed
again marked the trouble at the Brown
Hosting Works this afternoon. One
man was shot dead by nCn-union man
who had attempted to leave the works
On his bicycle, and was attacked by a
portion of the mob. The policemen
succeeded with difficulty in rescuing
him, and the police detail was besieged
in shop and had great difficulty in
preventing the lynching of their pris-
oner.
Finally, a call for troops was made
and two of the four companies under
arms were hurried to the scene. The
prisoner was finally loaded into a pa
troll wagon, and about 1880 tonight
locked up in the central police station.
The troops were ON guard and there
was sullen mob of at least 10000
men hanging around the premises.
Shortly before the hour for quitting
several strikers marched up to the
Brown Works with a big banner on
which was written in big black type,
Brown Scabs.'
At 4 80 o'clock the main body of the
workmen were marshalled into line,
and the police force formed the usual
hollow square. Captain English gave
the word, the gates We're opened and
the solid body of men, surrounded by
100 policemen, with clubs in hands,
marched out. The crowd gave way,
ard the procession moved up Hamilton
street to Case on the way to the street
cars. The crowd followed, as on We'd
nesday evening, yelling "Scab,' and
making a lively vocal demonstration.
Contrary to what the Mayor had de-
Clared would be done, the police could
not drive back the following crowd.
At least, they allowed them to follow
them up Hamilton street.
In the meantime the police marched
to the Fourth Precinct Station, where
they made halt. Forming two lines,
they allowed the workmen to enter the
station. All out of the way, the police
formed again across the street
At this moment the following party
was a dense black crowd, reaching far
down Wilson avenue Suddenly the
word Charge was given. 1t rang out
loud and clear and an awful scene fol-
lowed. The police pressed forward like
shot out of a gun. In a moment they
were upon the vanguard of the crowd
The latter were dumfounded There
was a waver, and then all turned and
fed.
But the deadly work had commenced.
The batons of the police were falling
like hail on the heads of the men. The
crowd was panic-stricken. Two cars
blocked the way north of Wilson ave-
nue.. and the men, women and children
were packed together in a tight mass,
yelling and shrieking. One part broke
away and ran down the Cleveland and
Pittsburg tracks, close at hand. An
ether went south on Wilson.

HIGH WATERS IN NEBR ASKA
Many Families Homeless, Their
Houses Being Flooded.

BEATRICE (Neb.), July 2-The Blue
River, as result of a heavy rainfall
yesterday morning, has reached the
danger stage, and is within one foot of
high water mark of 1892 Residents
OF the west side were obliged to vacate,
and during the night men in boats
were at work rescuing those who could
not get away. Dana Sleeth, son of Rev.
Asa Sleeth, was drowned. This is the
oily fatality so far as known.
At Wymore twenty-five families are
left homeless, water surrounding their
houses, which are flooded.
The water is thought to be receding,
and the train service to the north,
which was abandoned last night, will
be resumed.
Crops are submerged and some live

CANAL EMBANKMENT BREAKS,
Causing Flood at Edgemont, South
Dakota

EDGEMONT IS. ID, July 2.-Last
night the Edgemont Irrigation Canal
embankment broke south of town and
an enormous amount of water poured
down the hill into the old bed of the
creek, where the Burlington Railroad
Company has but recently located its
grounds. The water rose until within
ten feet of the top of the fill, when the
ground broke throagh. Before the
flood, which was almost irresistible,
could be controlled, it washed a hole
two rails long and many feet deep.
The embankment had been inspected
Tuesday and found to be in good con-
Gition, and on the strength of this an
extra amount of water had been turned
in.
The damage to the canal is almost

PATCHEN AND GENTRY.
The Former Easily Wins the Pacing
Race at Washington Park.

CHICAGO, July 2.-The match race
between John r. Gentry and Joe
Patchen proved to be something of a
fzzle at Washington Park to-day.
Patchen drew the pole for the first heat
and simply romped away from Gentry.
1t might have been a close race to the
wire had Andrews been able to hold
Gentry on his feet, but at the eighth
pole he broke and Curry simply can
tered in the easiest of winners.
Gentry was greatly distressed after
the heat, and when it came to scoring
