teenth and Thatcher streets, ty Police
Sergeant Evans and Patrolmen Murphy
and Moore, after hard chase.
After the arrest the police made an
investigation and were informed that
Moon and Moulton, both of whom work
at the rolling mill, had quarrel, aud
after forcible language had been used,
Moon left the works, but returned
shortly armed with revolver and with
out warning, opened fire on Moulton,
who was about five yards away, The
weapon was discharged three times, but
Moulton lodged and the bullets went
wide of their mark. Two of them went
through the Office, but nobody was in
jured.
While the shooting was 10 progress
there was much excitement but the
people in the mill were too much
frightened to interfere. After the third
shot Moon walked coolly from the mill

ever, before crowd of men and boys
started after him. He saw that he was
being pursued and began to run. He
continued to run until he was captured.

same machine. Moulton accused some
body of causing him to be burned b,
hot iron and Moon alleges that be an6
Moulton had words over the accusation

AMERICANS SUFFERED TERRIBLY
Twenty-Five Per Cent of Them
Were Hit.

Tientsin, China, July 13, via Chefoo,
July 10, and Shanghai, Jul, l6.-At 2
O'Clock this afternoon, several thousand
of the allied troops were attempting TO
storm the wall OF the city. The attack
began at daylight. Its SUCCESS is doubt
full. The Chinese ON the walls are esti-
mated conservatively at 10000. They
are pouring terrific hail of artillery,
rifle and machine gun fire upon the
attackers. The American, Japanese,
British and French troops are attack
ing from the west, and the Russians
from the east.
The Americans suffered terribly. As
The Associated Press representative left
the field, the chief surgeon of the
Ninth Infantry said that conservative
estimate was that 25 per cent of the
Americans were hit. Col. Emerson H.
Liscum is reported to have been NOR
tally wounded as he was walking in
front of the troops. Major Regan and
Capts. Backmillef, Wilcox and Noyes
are among the wounded. The marines
losses include Capt. Davis killed, and
Lieuts. Butler and Leonard and several
others wounded.
Officers declared that it was hotter
than Santiago. When the correspondent
left, the Americans were lying in the
plain between the wall and the river
under an enfilading and direct fire.
1t was equally difficult for them to
advance or retire. The correspondent
counted 300 wounded men of all
nationalitios.
The officers of the United States
Marine Corps mentioned in the fore
going dispatch are probably Capt.
Austin R. Davis, recently at Manila,
killed, and First Lieut.. Smedley ID.
Butler of the United States steamer
Newark, and First Lieut.. Henry
Leonard, recently on duty at Cavite,
and also of the Newark, wounded.
