J Chicago, May 4-On the nineteenth
anniversary of the Haymarket riot
when eight persons were suddenly
blown to pieces and sixty-six were
frightfully wounded, the police again

the negro picked up a cobble stone
and threw 1t into the crowd. Riebling
was struck on the head and his skull
was fractured His assailant escaped.
Clubs and Bricks Used Promiscuously.
Chicago, May 4.-The mobs that
| filled the streets in the business Sec

than on yesterday. There was fight

districts throughout the day, and over
a dozen times the police were COM
pelled to use their clubs and the wag.
on guards, who are armed with heavy
canes, swung them whenever they
were attacked or thought an assault
was about to be made. In many cases
these guards were not careful whom
they hit, and a number Of persons
we're knocked down simply because
they happened to be the nearest man
to the stalwart guards carrying hick-
ory clubs.
This was the case particularly In
fight near the Majestic Hotel, when
number of people who had just
emerged from the place were charged
upon by private detectives who were
in charge of a number of coal wag
ons, and badly beaten up. On the 9TH
er hand, the strikers and their sympa-
thizers were equally indiscriminate in
assaulting people. There were
number of instances where men en-
tered street cars and wantonly attack

later that they were strike breakers.

ever to do with the trouble. W. Jami

of his head and he sustained violent
concussion Of the brain. 1t Is expect
ed that his injuries will prove fatal.
In one fight at Harrison Street and
Michigan Avenue four men were
knocked down by wagon guards and
carried off by their friends. Similar
occurrences we're the rule whenever
the police charged into a mob, and the
number injured tonight Is probably
closer to rs than to 20.
