STRIKE RIOTS
Are FREQUENT
Chicago Non Union Teamster
Wounded by a Bullet In
tended for Union Men
STRANGERS HARD LUCK
Mistaken for an Employe of
the Ward Company and
Beaten Into Insensibility

CHICAGO, April 1s.-The first
shooting and the most serious assault
since the commencement Of the Mont
gomery Ward strike occurred late this
afternoon at Van Buren and Sherman
streets Charles Ocker, a non-union
teamster, was leaving the Atlantic
Hotel, when he was attacked by a
union picket. Ocker drew a revolver
and fired twice at his assailant, but
both bullets went wide and one of
them struck Walter Klager, a team
ster, who was unloading wagon half
a square away. Ocker was arrested.
Klagers wound is not dangerous.
Shortly after this affray John
O'Reilly of st. Louis. who was walking
on Van Buren street near the scene
of the shooting was attacked by
union teamsters and beaten into in
sensibility. 1t was believed by the
teamsters that he had been working
for Montgomery Ward & Co., but
O'Reilly asserted that he had not been
working for the firm, had no intention
of doing so and until he was attacked
knew nothing about the strike at
Montgomery Wards.
The firm experienced less difficulty
to-day in delivering goods than at any
time since the commencement of the
strike. All of its wagons made trips
to the freight depots under police
guard, and none of them were mo-
Tested.
The deadlock between the teamsters
and employees continues and there is
no indication of the end of the strike.

situation became decidedly alarming,
but the firing brought reinforcements
of police and order was partly re-
stored.
