three places in the southern section
of the city and by nightfall the police
records showed that a dozen persons
had either received bullet wounds or
been hurt by flying missiles. Three
of those hh by bullets received what
are presumably mortal wounds, and
that no one was killed outright seems
miraculous considering the great
number of shots exchanged by the
employees of the company and the
strike Sympathizcrs.
The first disturbance occurred at
the intersection of Broadway and
Miller street.
The second riot occurred at Broad
way and Pestalozzi street.
/ he worst OF the riotous disturb
auccS occurred near the intersection
Of California avenue and KeoItuil
street In this atfray a non-union
motorman and another employe on
car of the Transit Co. were probably
fatally shot. The battle while it
ragged was fierce and in view of the
large number of shots fired, estima-
ted at 200. it is remarkable that there
were not more INJURED.
ST. Louis. May 3l.--All the fury of
y
Transit Co. and their sympathizers
seems to have been expended. for
tuesdays violent demonstrations and
scenes OF bloodshed were followed
Yesterday by pronounced lulI. Up
to 10 O'Clock last night only one name
had been added to the long casualty
list, that of Anton ChaIupsky, who
was shot in the legs by "A policeman.
Public interest i'm the strike has
veered to the meeting of the police
board, called to devise measures to
bring order out of the strained con
dition of affairs. The board met We'd
nesday afternoon and at once deter
mined to call upon Sheriff POhImann
to summon "a posse cOmmitatuS TO as
sist in qucIling the disturbances in
cident to the strike, having failed in
its efforts to secure $500 extra police
| to preserve order.
Sheriff pohlmann was present and
| held a conference with the commits
sioners. He stated he anticipated
such a call and had prepared list of
600 men on whom he will call to
serve as deputy sheritfs After the
meeting President Halves. Of the
board, said the dignity of the city and
law both required that all local agen-
riae for the nrascrvation of law and
cr,,, ,bnuId ba invoI,ad bafora , DO
mand was made upon the state to as
| sist in preserving peace and quiet.
