RIOTING in CHICAGO
STRIKE sYMPATHIzERs AND NON.
UNION MEN INDULGE IN
BLOODY FIGHTS.

Chicago, May 2.-Rioting and blood.
shed in all parts of the city, resulting
In the death of n man and the in.
jury OF scores of others, marked the
progress of the teamsters' strike to.
day. While the strike did not spread
to any new establishments the mobs
seemed to throw all restraint to the
winds and attacks were made on non
union drivers with a recklessness thai
stunned the police.
One man was dubbed almost tC
death within a square of police head
quarters. -Four miles away men were
shot down in the streets. At a hundred
places between these two extremes OF
distance there were assaults and fights
in the streets. Blood was shed in
State street, in the heart of the fash.
ionable shopping district, and furious
riots took place almost in the door
ways of the leading hotels of Chicago.
Nonunion men were pelted with
stones, bricks and almost every other
conceivable sort of missiles. They
were dragged from their wagons,
beaten, dubbed and stamped upon.
The mobs followed the wagons on
which they rode and but for the splen.
did service rendered by the police
force the list of dead would be twenty
instead of one.
In return the nonunion men, though
hopelessly outnumbered in every con.
fict, fought desperately. In several
instances they drew their revolvers
and emptied them into the crowds that
pressed around their wagons, pelting
them with stones and threatening their
lives. The colored drivers, especially,
were quick with their weapons.

Recent Rains Benefit Crops.

Recent rains throughout the agricul-
tural portion of South Dakota have
proved very beneficial and came just
at the right time, following the COM
pletion Of the work of seeding. While
the spring has been cold and back
ward the weather throughout the seed
ing season was favorable and the farm
ers made good progress. The cool
weather since seeding was completed
has given the grain good root and with
the rains and the coming of warmer
weather small grain and other crops
will make rapid growth. While the
growth of small grain is backward as
compared with former years the excel
lent root and the recent rains will
push it ahead very rapidly when warm
weather ome and by June l the
growth should be as great as is Gus
tomary at that period.
