Another Injunction.
Judge Kohlsaat Of the United States
circuit court, at the request Of attor-
neys representing the express com
panies yesterday issued a temporary IN
junction restraining all persons from
interfering with the wagons Of the Pc
titioners or the men employed upon
them.
More Fighting in Streets.
Fighting yesterday in the streets was
more fierce and savage than Tuesday
| Strikers and sympathizers attacked
nonuHion men at every opportunity,
assailing them with bricks, stones,
clubs, knives and any. and every other
sort of offensive weapon upon which
they could lay their hands.
The fighting occurred in the heart OF
the business section of the city, men
being shot down within 200 feet OF the
retail store of Marshall Field & Co.,
dubbed nearly to death at the corner
of the Auditorium hotel in the plain
view of hundreds of ladies who were
com PEELED to rum from the mob to save
their own lives In many instances
men walking along the streets who had
no active connection whatever with the
/ strike were assaulted by hoodlums who
beat them first and later accused them
of being strike breakers.
One Man Killed.
AS far as known but one man was
killed during the day. The list Of In
! jared is much greater than that which
| it is possible to obtain. In many cases
! the non-union men swung their clubs
with great effect, knocking men from
| their wagons headlong into the street;
| in other instances, when assailed by
n1Obs they fired point blank into the
crowds and it is difficult to see how the
members of the mob could escape
many broken heads or how all the bull
| let's fired during the day should have
gone Wild
The dead man is Charles Beard, who
was struck on the forehead in fight
near the Auditorium hotel. He d1eu
of fractured skull, at the Mercy hos
pital, where he had been taken.
Frank Curry injured.
Among the injured lis Frank Curry,
leader of the non-union men, who
was struck in the head by stone
while conducting wagons along
Franklin street.
Rifles Not Carried.
! Although it was announced that
the teams of the express companies
and employers association would be
handled by men armed with rifles,
nothing of the kind was attempted
save in the case of Is drivers en-
ployed by the Scott Transfer COM
pany. Mayor Dunno and Chief Of
Police O'Neill made every effort to
prevent the carrying of rifles and SUI
perintendent Reid of the teaming as
ISOLATION informed them that he had
not contemplated arming his men as
stated The Scott men carried rifles
throughout the day and none were
molested.
No more men were called out yes
terday and from present appearances
there is no immediate prospect that
any more teamsters will strike.
Workmen Use RevoIvers.
Burt Guyles and Paul Bastian, driv-
ers for the United States Express
company, were attacked by a crowd
on the west side while making deliv-
cries. Guyles used a revolver in
two attacks made upon his wagon
and wounded four men, one of whom,
Albert McIllvane, may die.
Guyles and Bastian were arrested.
While holding the men under custody
an enormous crowd gathered and was
determined apparently to assassinate
the prisoners. The officers drew re-
volvers and with great difficulty kept
the crowd back until the arrival of
patrol wagon, which took the prison
ers to police station.
Night Riot QueIed.
During a riot last night at Halstej
and Erie streets, which lasted for an
hour and in which fully 1000 people
were engaged, three policemen and
three non-union men were injured
and twice as many rioters were
dubbed. An attempt was made to de.
liver coal in that section. The wagons
