IN A CHICAGO RIOT.
Senator Dolliver Pretty Badly Bruised
by the Mob.

Senator Dolliver returned last week from
his trip west to attend the funeral of his
father When he arrived In Washington
he was in such a battered-up condition that
he required the services of a physician. II
was all on account of the Chicago strike.
On reaching Chicago on his may east he
found it necessary to visit the railroad
ticket office to secure his transportation
AS he had plenty of time he strolled down
one of the principal streets. There did not
appear to be any unusual excitement and
he was not thinking about the strike. He
noticed two wagons coming toward him,
but did not have time to notice anything
further, for he suddenly found himself in
the midst of two or three thousand rioters.
Men were thrown down and trampled upon,
clubs Were used, missiles thrown, and even
pistols fired. Senator Dolliver struggled
manfully, and it was only because of his
giant stature and strong physique that he
was able to keep his feet. He realized that
If he went down the results would be Sc
rious He put forth all the strength he pos
sessed and was able TO break through the
crowd and continue his Journey but he
was very badly bruised and battered.
Secretary Shaw came through Chicago
about the same time. but he failed to see,
any signs of the strike. Everything was
quiet.

Mich

being useless from paralysis.

the invasion of this state In 1S4S by armed
Kentuckians, who forcibly attempted to
capture a fugitive slave at the famous
Quaker settlement In Cass county The
