HOMESTEAD AGAIN.
This Time Laborers Fight Among
Themselves-75 Cents a Day.

Pittsburg. May 22.-Enraged at work
which they believed should have been
given to them instead of imported Ia
Dor. a half hundred idle men at Home
stead last night laid siege to two large
shanties in which were stopping an
equal number of Italians, brought here
from Virginia to work on the extern
sion of the Homestead and Highland
street railway. The attacking party was
armed with sticks and stones and the
foreigners, frightened almost to death,
fled precipitately from the houses. A
hand to hand scrimmage followed,
during which q, number of Italians were
seriously injured.
The attacking party then withdrew
and two hours later the Italians re-
turned. A second attack was made on
the shanties and an attempt made to
burn them, but this time the foreigners
drove their assaiIants off. This morn
ing the Italians went to work under the
protection of officers, but the feeling
against them is 50 strong that more
trouble is expected.
The imported men are working under
contract at IS cents a day

IMPROVING TENTH STREET
Edward Wilder to Build Handsome
Houses for Sale.

Mr. Edward Wilder of the Santa Fe
is contemplating the erection of a num-
Der of residences facing on Tenth street
on the open land west of Buchanan
street and just across the street from
the McCabe- w hittOn-HOlman homes
The contract has already been award
ed for the erection of one of the houses
and it is said that If Mr.. Wilder re-
ceives encouragement he will continue
building
The houses will be modest but sub
stantial homes to cost between $4,000
and $500. They will be modern and
two stories in height.
This is another step toward the I'M
provement of West Tenth street, which
received such a substantial start year
ago. If Mr.. Wilder's plan is carried out
Tenth street will be lined on both sides
west of Buchanan with handsome resi-
dences. The south side of the street is
already built up. Mr.. Wilder will build
the houses to sell.
All that Tenth street needs is a pave
ment to make it one of the finest streets
in the city. It is said that Bethany
college stands in the way of this much
needed Improvement, as the trustees
object to the necessary assessments for
paving the street.

HELD Up A TROLLEY CAR.
Robber is Killed and Conductor and
One Passenger Wounded.

Tacoma, Wash, May pa single
robber late yesterday afternoon held up
and attempted to rob an incoming car
on the SteIIacoom electric line about
four miles out of the city. A tall man,
roughly dressed hailed the car, which
stopped to let him aboard. AS he got
on the platform he pulled a blue dotted
calico mask, having holes cut through
for eyes, down over his face, produced
a revolver and ordered Superintendent
Dame of the motor line and MOtOrman
Wellman to the rear of the car. They
complied slowly and he followed, or
dered the men and passengers to hold
up their hands, and the ladies to sit
still. Dame and WelIman had entered
a rear compartment used for carrying
baggage and freight.
The robber evidently thought them
safely disposed of, for he paid no more
attention to them, but commenced re-
lieving the passengers of their valu-
ables. Superintendent Dame drew his
gun and fired at the robber, who re-
turned the fire Dame fired two shots
and the robber three. Two minutes
later the robber was lying beside the
car dead, while Dame had been shot
in the arm and Jewett Smith, a passen-
ger, in the leg.
One of Danes bullets passed through
the right arm of the robber and the
other through the left arm, both enter
ing his body, striking the lungs or
heart Groaning heavily he started
backward to the front platform and fell
off the steps head downward.
