VERY QUIET DAY
AT STOCK YARDS
Nearly $1,000 Head of Cattle,
Hogs and Sheep at Chicago.
STRIKERS MADE NO TROUBLE
INJUNCTION A ST. LOUIS MADE
PERMANENT.

Chicago, Aug. This was a busy
day with the packers, With increased
forces of skilled workers and their op-
Grating departments more thoroughly
equipped than at any time since the
beginning of the strike, the employers
took a firm grip on the machinery OF
their affairs and as Il result the stock
yards took on the old hum Of activity
TO a great extent Over IS, 600 head
Of livestock We're received here today
This is an increase of $1,000 head over
the receipts on the corresponding day
of last week Such an enormous amount
of livestock would under normal cir
cumstances have had d depressing ef-
feet on the market. and today. when
the trainlOads Of animals began 70 pour
into the wards. stockmen and traders
feared a panic. but it did not occur.
Today was freer from violence than
any since the strike began There were
several disturbances during the day,
but the police experienced little DIFF :
ficUlty in destOfing order. The crowds
usually seen at the entrances TO the
yards were no longer ia evidence today
and wagons carrying meat passed
through the streets with their drivers
unmOlested. When the strike breakers
left the plants tonight trouble was e<-
pected by the police, but for the first
time i'm the history OF the strike they
were disappointed, not a single attack
upon the nOn-Union men being made.
Saloon fights between the union and
non-union men were more frequent to
day. During these Quarreis today one
man was shot and another sta bbed, bus
neither was seriously injured.
Police Station Stormed.
Rioters stoned the Deering street po-
lice station late tonight and for q
quarter of an hour the police battlea
with the crowd OF 1000 men and women
as il charged the station repeatedly
with sticks and stones. shouting Venge-
ance against the police.
The trouble started when the police
went to the assistance of Frank Cas-
tellanO. a strike breaker employed in
the stock yards. who had been dra eyed
from q. street car and severely beaten.
Before the police could reach CasteI-
lano he had fired four shots from \
revolver at his assailants. One of the
bullets took effect in John Sheehan's
arm The mob became Infatuated when
they saw that their companion had
been shot At least a hundred men
made a rush for CastellanO. but he
was rescued by the police The po-
lice station was only two blocks away

safety Seeing that their intended vic
tim had escaped, the rioters determined
TO get revenge on the police, and tried
10 wreck the police station.
Charge of Police.
Stones and bricks by the hundred
were hurled at the building and all the
windows in the place were broken
Charge after charge was made by the
police, and the rioters were driven back
only by the strenuous use of clubs.
These charges by the police had little
effect, for as soon as the police would
return to the station the crowd would
again gather with a fresh supply Of
missiles and make another attack on
the place.
Nearly a dozen times the police sal
lied forth and charged the crowd with
clubs before the rioters were dis
persed. In one Of these charges three
policemen were injured with bricks. At
least fifty rioters were cut about the
head in the hand-to-hand, conflicts with
the police.
