AT the two independent plants
small packing houses conducted re-
spectively by W. E. Mccormick and
W. G. Bronson Jr.-the roll of en-
ployes was nearly doubled. Thirty or
forty men were working at each plant.
Messrs. Mccormick and Bronson were
paying the union sealezof 185s cents an
hour for common labor, an advance of
1 cent an hour over the wages paid be-
fore the. strike began.

One Striker, Arrested
One arrest was made AT s O'clock
last evening Oscar Moline.sa striking
beef butcher, was taken into custody
on Concord street, the main thorough
fare. He had been drinking, though
not from a egrowler," and was noisy.
He defed the three new policemen to
search him. They searched him, and
found a revolver. They took him to
the town lookup, charged with carry
ing concealed weapons, and imprisoned
him.
Moline has deserved prominence
among the South ST. Paul butchers.
He is accounted the best workman at
the Swift plant. He has earned As
cents an hour, ten hours a day. Only
one other workman, it is said, has made
$3.50 day.
Supt. Burns did not, Of course. an
nounce his eompany's intentions. But
it was gossip last night that the Swift
packing house would try to bring in
few outside butchers during the
night, and that it would resume
slaughtering today upon limited
scale
Six new men, who arrived at the
South St Paul passenger station on the
Chicago Great Western train leaving
st. Paul at 11:20 o'clock last night,
were met by pickets surrounded and
escorted to union headquarters. Some
of the six said they didn't want to go
there, but they went, although no vio-
lence was apparent. Soon afterwards
announcement was made by the strik-
ers that the six had agreed to return to
st. Paul in the morning.
Two Hundred Pickets on Duty
Had the arrivals not alighted at the
station they would probably have met
pickets nevertheless. Upwards of geo
pickets were on duty last night. They
surrounded the Swift plant. They were
waiting at every station of the Chicago
Great Western road between St. Paul
and South St. Paul. They were to be
found at the union depot. st. Paul, at
all the Minneapolis passenger stations
and at New Brighton.
because the Swift company, it was
said, was advertising there that it
would give common laberers $1.75 a
day and board at South st. Paul.
In accordance with this promise all
of the men still working at the plant

ate their meals in the company build

Both Mccormick and Bronson were
paying the union wages at South st.
Paul yesterday, and, unlike their great
neighbor. the Swift company, were
employing more men than usual
Retailers Raise Prices
OF the retail meat dealers, Haas
Bros, 1879 St Peter street, were
charging 251s cents more for pork yes
terday, and 2 cents more for sirloin,
porterhouse and some other beef cuts
The L. Eisenmenger Meat company,
400 Wabasha street, asked from to
cents more for pork, according to the
traction of the hog desired; to 21s
cents more for ordinary cuts, and to
cents more for choice cuts.
Kasmirsky Bros, 1859 West Third
street, raised their list and 8 cents
for pork, and cents for ordinary
beef cuts. 5 cents for choice cuts.
Two cents more for pork was de-
manded by friedman Brothers, 423
Wabasha street; and cents more

r w. Luiey & Son, 382 Jackson

ers quoted round steak at Is cents;
Kasmfrsky named the price as 16
cents.
Hotels Make No Changes
Among the prominent st. Paul inns
the Hotel Ryan, the Windsor hotel and
the Merchants hotel reported no
change in the price of meats upon the
cafe bills of fare. AT the Ryan Land
lord Love said:
I'VE don't think the strike will make
any difference with us. We believe
the local butchers will remain loyal to
their old customers and take no action
out of mistaken sympathy with the
strikers. The cost OF the strike, which
ever side wins, is sure to come out of
the public in the long rum
Manager w. P. Hayes, of the Wind
sor, explained that he was protected
by contract for the time being. He
had not advanced prices. If the strike
lasted two weeks longer it might
make a difference
At the Merchants Manager George
Kibbe agreed with Mr.. Hayes. If the
strike lasted a couple of weeks, prices
might possibly be increased.
With one exception the restaurants
visited-Magee,s, the New Spencer,
Carlings. the Acme, the New Eng
land and Terrett's-had not advanced
the price of their meat dishes. Some
of them had contracts with their meat
dealers; others had supplies of meat
on hand. But all the restaurant men
agreed that they could not speak for
the future if the strike should con-
tinue some weeks.
The New England Coffee house had
added cents to the cost of each of
its various beef dishes. The explana-
ton was given that there had been
rise of 6 cents a pound at the meat

ROBBERY AT WATERLOO.
White Man Assaulted and Robbed by
Two Strangers Saturday Night.

Two boys, Frank Reed, white, and
Dan Brown, colored, have been COM
m'tted to Jail to await trial at the next
term Of the criminal court on the
ch rye of assault and highway rob-
berry. Saturday night at Waterloo Ed

club and robbed of his purse and knife.
The purse contained two five dollar
bills and some silver. Reed and Brown
had been seen with Harrington going
up the railroad about o'clock. Mr..
Henderson, the agent, followed them
suspecting foul play, as he regarded
the boys as buns. He met Harrington
who said the boys had hurt him. Hen
derson proceeded little further and
came upon the fellows. They were
marched back to the depot. AT first
they admitted everything, but when
searched little later the money could
not be found. The purse and knife
were recovered No doubt they got the
money, which it is believed they threw
in the fire, which was burning in the Of
ti,e. They deny thu whole charge now.

old man and he went to Waterloo Sat
urday from here by accident. He in

SHOOTING AFFAIR
MONDAY AFTERNOON.
w. w, Madden Shot by B. ID. Hill
Madden's Condition Regarded
Favorable.

Monday afternoon about Q o'clock, as
the result OF quarrel between Bud B.
Hill and Wess w. Madden, which oc-
Cured in Brown Franklin's restaurant,
the latter was shot twice and otherwise
injured by Hill. The wounds were at
first thought to be OF a fatal character,
but after extracting the ball which en-
tered hIa body, and dressing the scalp
wounds, the attending surgeon an
nounced that, while the wounds were
dangerous, his chances for recovery
wee good. The shots were fired at
close range, 80 close that Madden's face
was blackened and his clothing powder
burned, The most serious wound is
the shot which entered the left shoul-
der at the top Of the scapular and
ranged downward, passing between
the ribs and the muscles, lodging in
the lumbar region. This bullet was
extracted aud the other wounds
dressed by Drs Hughes and Schayer.
Accounts Of the affair vary. 1t seems
that these men, with several friends,
were getting dinner at Franklin's res
tauraut A quarrel started up be-
tween Hill and q kinnsman OF his,
when Madden, it is said, interferred.
Hill resented this and warned Madden
: to desist. The quarrel became heated.
Finally, 1t Is stated, Hill threw dip
par of water in Madden's face. With
this insult Madden DIRE his knife and
made at Hill, who in turn pulled his
pistol and struck Madden on the head
with the weapon several blows. In
striking Madden thu pistol was dis
charged three times Madden fell to
the floor badly stunned and daaed. he
was given prompt attention. Fill sur
rendered to the sheriff at once. He
was not hurt in the fight.
Wess Madden is prosperous farmer
and resides about miles South OF Lau-
rens. Bud Hill is also young farmer
who lives three miles East of the city.
Upon the application of Hill's attor-
neys and the presentation of certif-
cate from tho doctors, stating Mad
denis condition favorable with chances
good for his recovery, Magistrate Hud-
gems yesterday afternoon granted bail
in the proper sum and Hill was re-
leased.
