CLUB ELECTION THE CAUSE
Conflicting Stories Told Re-
garding the Beginning
of HOStilitieS.
Battle Lasted but a Moment
and the Shooting Was
Promiscuous.

CHICAGO, Dec. IAN attempt to
break up the annual meeting of the
Eighteenth Ward Republican club at
Briclilayers' hall at Peoria and West
Monroe streets resulted in the Death of
one of the attacking party and the
wountling of several of those who par
ticipated in the fight. Charles Latti-
mer, bricklayer, is dead and the
wounded are William Mahoney, police
man at the Desplaines street station,
shot in 10th arms and side; John w.
Ladders, laborer, finger shot off, and
John Prince, janitor of the building,
shot in the left leg.
The club held it's annual election dur
ing the evening and there was much
rivalry between factions headed by Cor
oner Berz and John Rogers, an ex-mem-
ber Of the city council, over the offices.
Some time ago it became known among
Rogers sympathizers that the Berz fac
ton intended
Putting Through Its Ticket.
1t was then decided to ignore the reg
ular convention announced for Brick
layers hall. Accordingly meeting of
the Rogers supporters was held else
where, but it was decided to visit Brick
layers hall and demand representation.
A large crowd accordingly left the
Rogers meeting and marched to Brick
Layers hall. The greatest number re-
manned in the street. but s.Butch''
Smith, Frank Matuska, William Haines,
George Callahan and few others
entered the hall.
Stories differ as to what followed, but
the members of the Berz faction in the
hall and the two police officers who
were stationed at the door of the room
in which the meeting was being held
assert that the men of the Rogers fac
ton came noiselessly up the stairs,
having
Revolvers in Their Hands.
Officer Mahoney commanded them to
halt, but they paid no attention to him
and just as they reached the door some
one fired shot. Instantly pistols We're
drawn on every side and the firing was
promiscuous. Coroner Berz was one of
the first to fire when the trouble started.
Almost at the first shot Lattimer threw
up his hands and rolled down the STAIR
way dead. His companions continued
the fight only a short time and then fled
down the stairway. At the first shot a
crowd Of the Berz faction came pouring
from the hall, intent upon attacking the
intruders, but the fight was over in an
instant and the Rogers sympathizers
were gone.
The story told by the Rogers crowd is
that Lattilner knocked on the door and
demanded admission. He attempted to
force his way in, was shot down and the
fight followed.
