so guns stored there, and since the Off

Five thousand people crowded around
the Brown hosting works when the
whistle sounded Wednesday night. The
few workmen marched out surrounded
by 100 policemen, but the police were
unable TO place them on the cars, be-
cause the crowd packed every car be-
fore il reached the works. A. l.. Stone,
of the "scabs." jumped onto car con-
trary to police orders and pulled re-
volver and fired two shots at the mon
who were crowding onto the car. His
first shot took effect in the shoulder of
Ben Ions, one of the strikers. The
wound, though serious, is not danger
Gus. The police promptly arrested
Stone, and, giving up any attempts TO
put the men onto street cars, started
on n two-mle march to the Central sta
ton. by the time the center Of he
city was reached. all the factories hav-
ing closed for the night, there was n
bowling mob of 10000 people following
the police and jeering. After the men
had been marched into the Central sta
ton, the police drove the mob from the
vicinity of the Central station and let
the scared worlSmen out through a sa-
loon which abuts on an alley behind the
station. The crowd will lay for that
place, they say to-day.
