A SERGEANT SHOT
 IN LITTLE ITALY"
First Blocdshed from the Strike
 at Cornell Dam.
EXCITEMENT IS INTENSE
Robert Douglass of New York Militia Was Assassinated by Unknown Person While Relieving the
 Gaard-Died Instantly

Croton Landing, N. Y, April 16.-The first bloodshed as the outcome of the strike at the Cornell dam was the lifes blood of Sergeant Robert Douglass of Eleventh Squadron company of Mount Vernon, who was shot dead by an unknown assassin while he was relieving guard at ten min utes to 9 o'clock tonight. The widest ex- citement prevailed throughout the compa- ny as soon as the news of the assassina- ton spread to the different tents and the soldiers are frantic over the crime. The point where the sergeant fell is situated on top of a hill near Little Italy" where armed striksrs were seen this, morning brandshing rifles and shotguns. Douglass was talking to Corporal McDowell and the other members of the guard, when he sud denly clapped his hands to his stomach and said Lord, boys I'm shotl" and immedi- ately fell to the ground. It was pitch dark at the time, but Mcdowell and the others fired volley into a clump of bushes near by without hitting anyone No one saw the flash or heard the sound of the shot which killed Douglass. Douglass died in a few minutes without saying a word. Lieuten- ant Glover, with a squad of men, went up to the hill top where they made a search, but failed to find any person there.

From the New York newspapers they learned that troops were on the way. Before the hour for their arrival the Bowery was filled with Italians who stood in groups and listened to the talk of the leaders.
 About Il a. m. telegram was received by one of the leaders from Consul Branchi addressing them to be quiet, and inform ing them of the fact that the militia was on it's way to the dam. It was in the af- ternoon when the special train from Yon- kers carrying the troops arrived there Their arrival was noted by an Italian on a bicycle, who remained long enough about the station to count them, and then rode with all haste to the Bowery.
 While the troops were resting at the station, waiting for the word to move, forty armed Italians, carrying an Ameri- can flag, and two Italian flags crossed the little Italy hill to the Bowery. They were cheered by the men in the Bowery and watched with interest by the deputy sher ifs
