the motorman and conductor whose
car was without the usual police guard.
However that may be, the trouble
started here. A brick was thrown
through the car window and a shot
was fired by somebody unknown.
At the first intimation of trouble,
members of the sheriff's posse swarm
ed from the building and surrounded
the crowd of strikers about the car
calling upon them to dispense. Other
shots were fired and then some of the
deputies turned loose their repeating
shot guns loaded with buckshot. AS
far as can be learned only four of the
men in the strikers ranks were hit. Not
a deputy was wounded even.
c. Edward Thomas, a striking con-
ductor on the Chouteau avenue line,
was picked up and placed in an ambu-
lance after the fight was over. He was
shot in the breast, the heavy load of
buckshot tearing hole that soon LET
out his lifes blood and caused his death
while on the way to the city hospital.
George Rine, striking motorman on
the Delmar avenue line, received a
terrible wound in the abdomen. He
was taken to the city hospital but died
On the operating table. Another of
those hit by shots from the deputies
guns was Ed. Burkhart, striking con-
ductor, also of the Delmar avenue line
Several buckshot struck him in the
side of the head, causing a serious
wound. He may die. Oscar Marvin,
striking conductor ON the Lee avenue
line, will probably lose his right hand
as a result of the fusillade.
Under the command of Col. Caven-
der, the deputies arrested twenty of
the strikers and took them to the bar
racks, where they were searched. Three
revolvers and a number of pocket
knives were secured and the prisoners
were taken to the Four Courts, where
They Were Locked Up
pending an investigation. The remain
der of the strikers were dispersed with
out any further trouble.
At the time of the trouble Company
F, composed of some of the most prom
inent people that have been summoned
for duty on the posse comitatus, was on
duty at the barracks. Headed by Col.
Lavender, formerly of the First Mis-
souri, volunteers, they grabbed guns
and rushed for the street, where they
behaved with distinction. Among
them were w. P Kennett, ex-president
of the Merchants Exchange; John f.
Lee, a prominent lawyer, and a men,
Der of the citizens committee that has
been trying to effect settlement be-
tween the strikers and the Transit
Company; ex-Judge Chester r. Crum;
Hon. Charles Maggie, prominent law
yer and former candidate on the Re
publican ticket for mayor; ex-Judge
John II. Overall, Hugh K Hartung, a
man, who was acting as
clerk at posse headquarters, and Dr.
j. H. Woodwork.

instead Of the hunters meeting. the
bunter of the regular car slid over and
crashed into the body of the car. The
down-bound car was not equipped with
air brakes, and hand brakes were not
equal to the emergency, and in fact
had it been supplied with them it is a
question whether or not the car could
have been stopped in time.

4 LONDON, June 1850 a. m.-The
Beers have torn up twenty-one miles of
Lord Roberts vital line of railway be-
tween America Siding ana Roodeval.
1t is bold raid and vexatious, but it
does not disquiet the military authori-
ties as yet, for they expect Gen. Kelly
Kenny to drive off the marauders and
to reopen the line
The rapidity of the advance of Lord
Roberts cannot have permitted to ac-
cumulate large reserves of stores
Therefore an interruption of the rail-
way, even for week, must embarrass
the army and may bring the forward
operations to standstill
Nothing has been heard from Lord
Roberts for three days. This raid on
the railway, the strenuous opposition
to Gen. Rumble and the nimble escape
of COmmandant General Botha's divis-
ion have forced the war office observers
to the reluctant conclusion that the war
is not yet over, although even the &C.
casional civilian Boer sympathizer can
not see how the Beers will be able to
change the result.
Gen. Butler is in Boer territory. Dis
patches of correspondents with him,
filed yesterday at sunset, describe the
corps as camping at Gansolei, close to
the point where the frontiers of the
Free State, the Transvaal and Natal
meet.
"The British marched eight miles
yesterday" says a Reuter- correspond
emit, before encountering any opposi-
ton. The Beers, who had one gun,
withdrew under heavy ordnance fire to
ridge just ahead of the camp"
This long range, running skirmish
will doubtless be renewed this morn
ing. Gen. Butler is expected to make
rapid progress now and to throw the
weight of twenty thousand men into
Lord Roberts Transvaal combinations.
The fighting on June 6, in which
there were fewer than twenty casual
ties, was kept up all day long by mus
kerry and artillery. The British at
lacking line, three miles in length,
made it's way amid the precipitous
hills. A Boer gun on Spitz Kop fired
shrapnel rapidly at range of 400
yards, at the British right flank, but
every shell was buried in the ground
before bursting. The defensive power
of modern weapons seems less effective
in rough country than upon levels
where wide spaces can be covered with
fiat trajectories.
Gen. Rundle's and Gen. Brabant's d.
visions are still at Hammonia in the
Ficksburg district. The latest intelli
gence from their headquarters is that
the Beers are determined to fight to
the bitter end. They are concentrat-
ing four thousand men around Bethle-
hem. The country between them and
Gen. Rumble is mountainous and re-
sembles northern Natal in being ex-
ceedingly difficult for military opera
tions. Gen. Rundle's present care is
to prevent the Beers getting past him
southwark.
Gen. Hunters advance has occupied
Ventersdorp, one hundred miles south
west of Pretoria. This took place on
June It'll.
Gen. Plumer's column is on the
Glands river, northwest of Pretoria.
Gen. Hunters immediate objective is

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, June To-
Governor Stephens said this evening
that everything is being put in readi-
ness for calling out the National Guard
of Missouri to quell disorder in St
Louis consequent to the street railway
strike. but he will not issue the call
except as last resort.
1t will cost, he said, 5000 to land
$500 men in st. Louis, and as much
per day to maintain them, and as there
is no appropriation for that purpose
he does not know how the Legislature
would view deficiency of 100000 for
maintaining troops in ST. Louis. II
might, he said, require an extra session
OF the Legislature to appropriate the
money.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 3U.-A report has
reached this city that posse OF Union
Pacific detectives, headed by Tom Horn,
had run down two Of the Union Pacific
robbers in the Hole in the Wall, and after
a desperate fight killed both of them. One
of the pursuing party was shot, but it is
thought not seriously. 1t is known that
the robbers separated in two gangs after
leaving the railroad, and the men reported
killed were those who were trailed through
the mountains so closely and afterwards
escaped. 1t is supposed that they returned
to the Hole-in-the- Wall when they thought
the pursuit was over and the detectives
have been watching the rendezvous ever
since, until they got their men.

to-day. On all hands it is agreed that
this BILL although it applies only to
Porto Rico. involving as it does the
question of the power to govern our
new possessions outside the limitations
OF the constitution, is the most import
ant measure which will come before
this Congress. Interest IN the bill is
intense among the members on both
sides. and there is urgent demand for
time. The Democrats are solidly ar
