THE CRACKING OF GUNS.
After the affair on Main street Sat
urday night in which MIR. Utter figured
1T since being learned that he has
been working at the Spencer shops--it
wna thought that everything would be
quiet for the remainder of the night,
and SO it was, until about 2.40. At
that hour those living in the vicinity Of
the shops heard pistols and guns bang
ing away in rapid succession for quite
awhile. The story Of the affair as
could be gathered has it that the crowd
Of mon, all masked and none being
| Recognizable, came to the high picket
fence surrounding the yard aud at Il
point on the Laurc, street side In rear
OF the carpenter shop, pul;od or num-
Der OF pailings and entered the yard.
AS they came in they were challenged
by Guard Myers who ordered them to
halt and asked what they wanted. The
reply from those in front was that there
wore men in tho yard who wanted to
| come out but were not allowed to do so,
| and this crowd had come to escort them
| out. The story goes that Guard Myers
| halted the crowd several times warning
the intruders. When they finally came
| on he put his gun to his shoulder and
| fired into tho crowd. Then the fusilade
| OF 100 or POO shorts, rs estimated after-
wards by several, followed, Guard
| Myers being struck in the forehead and
| retiring to shelter. The order was
| given for the men in the shanty car 10
come out; when they did not the car
was perforated with bullets, it seems,
and it Is remarkable that none of the
men were killed. Finally the non
union men, about twenty in number,
got down on the ground and were Or
dcred to fall in. They did so. some OF
the masked men leading the way and
the others following and threatening
with pistols, according to statements
made.

IN his buggy. Having been told that
the men had gone northward, he drove
In his buggy about six miles mt tho
asylum road, hoping to ovcrtake the
party and do what he could to prevent
injury to tho men the crowd had. Ie

In the meantime an engine was made
ready and Mcssrs. Sprowl, Blanton and
Maxwell started up the road toward
Charlotte. Several detached parties oi
the crowd were seen coming back tc
