A shooting scrape on West Second
street, just west of Cass street, last
evening about $50 o'clock, terrified the
neighhorhood and resulted in the ar
rest this morning of Ed Konantz, on
the charge of shooting within the city
limits. According to the story told
by konantz he was called home from
Oskaloosa yesterday by his wife, who
claimed that Davy Lewis, a resident OF
the west end, had been causing trou-
bic. Last evening, Konantz says,
Lewis came to the house and began
raising a disturbance, when he (ko-
nantz) fired at him five times without
effect. one of the shots struck the
yestibule of a passing street car.

STRIKERS PEACEABLE
Five Union Men Board Cars, Pay Their
Fares and Use Their influence to
Avert TroubIe-The Streets Are
Thronged With Excited Citizens.

Chicago, Nov. 13.--It was anticipat-
ed that the running of cars today by
the Chicago City Railway Co., in an
attempt to break the big strike on
their lines would result in more seri-
GUS rioting than that which took place
yesterday.
By z O'Clock this morning crowds of
strike sympathizers began to gather
at points along the route on which the
company had announced it would at
tempt to operate cars.
Police Prepare for Trouble.
Several hundred police and dozen
patrol wagons were massed at the
terminus Of the Wentworth avenue
electric line and just before the first
cars started for the barns with a non
union crew, the wagons left for the
business district leaving squads of
police at the points where the trouble
was looked for. AT $40 a. m, two
cars in charge Of Police Captain Ship
py with fifteen police on board each,
l,left the barns for the city
Make Strikers Targets.
Shipps plan was said TO be TO carry
on the cars any persons arrested for
committing violent acts, thus making
the disturbers equally with the police
a target for the bricks and stones
meant for the non-union train crews.
! Mail Cars Run.
| Two mail cars were dispatched from
| the Cottage Grove avenue terminus
early and made the entire trip to the
| business center without interference
Ten Cars Start on Trip.
! Ten cars in all started on the trip to-
ward the center of the city within half
an hour. All on Wentworth avenue.
i Non-union crews manned the cars and
| each car was in charge of a lieutenant
/ or a sergeant and twelve policemen.
/ The cars ran slowly between the dense
! lines of strikers who tried to keep pace
\ with the cars and their escort of patrol
| wagons.
/ The presence of the police on the
cars evidently with the approval OF
Mayor Harrison, appeared to greatly
| excite the anger OF the crowds.
No Violence Done.
! Though there was much excitement
/ and the streets We're thronged witt
! people little actual trouble was expert
! enced by the cars during the trip. The
cars started on the return trip almost
on schedule time Four teamsters were
arrested for attempting to block the
! way and were put aboard the cars.
i Union Men for Peace.
/ Five union men boarded different
cars soon after the start, paid thei
fares and during the round trip the.
used their influence to avert violence
i In the early afternoon ten NOR,
Il Wentworth avenue cars made tht
round trip from the southern termi
nus without much interference OF

FAVORS PROJECT
DR.. M. c. MAckiN. INSPECTOR OF
COUNTY INSTITUTIONS HERE
WEDNESDAY.
Visits the County Poor Farm and
Finds Everything Satisfactory is
in Favor of Making Proposed Addi-
tions-Would Better Conditions.

From Thursdays Daily.
Although even the suggestion OF
caring for the county insane at the
Wapello county institution is out of
the question, think it would be an eX-
cellent move to erect new ward in
connection with the buildings that are
already used said DR. NJ. c. Macllin,
of Independence, inspector for the state
board of control who made an inspec-
ton of the county farm yesterday.
'HThe conditions and facilities of the in
stitution at present are very good, yet
the addition of new ward and the ac-
quisition of the adjoining tract of land
would greatly improve the present con-
ditions. 1t would also relieve the con-
gestion. although harmless, yet incon-
venient, that now exists and ] am of
the opinion that should the county see
fit to make the proposed purchase of
land and erect an additional building,
it would tend to a great Improvement
in all departments, continued Dr..
Mackin. Upon his inspection of the
county farm, DIR. Mackin found every
thing in excellent shape and had no
suggestions or complaints whatever to
make regarding the conditions.
Institution is Good.
| For a number of years, DR.. Mackin
has visited the Wapello county institu-
| ton as Inspector for the state board
of control and the result of his visit
yesterday, like his previous trips, was
satisfactory and he expressed himself
as being thoroughly satisfied With the
! conditions and well pleased With the
manner in which the work is being con-
| Quoted Dr. Mackin spoke very favor
ably of both the steward, George VIII
| son, and Matron, Mrs. George Wilson,
and is confident they are perfectly cap
able of handling the work at the coun-
| ty farm DIR. Mackin was accompa-
MED by the board Of supervisors.
State Institutions for Insane.
| There is no county in the state OF
Iowa that is permitted by the board ot
control to care for its own insane. Al
! though each OF the counties is given
I the few chronic cases, none OIL them
| is permitted TO care for the acute
cases for it is argued that the sanitary
/ conditions and professional treatment
! will not as rapidly effect the recovery
of the patient as is possible at the
/ state Institutions The board of con
trol it is stated has much faith in the
state institutions and provides the
very best care and treatment for the
states insane at these places.
| WapelIo County Farm Satisfactory.
| when asked how the institution ol
/ this county compared with those oi
1 other counties, DR.. Macldr replied thai
the W-apello county farm is better
4 than the average county institution
and that the accommodations were
livery good and the management was
4 perfect. DR. Mackin left this after
moon on Burlington No 6, for Fair
field. where he will inspect the Jef
i ferson county institution.
