Chicago, May 25.-With the strike spreading each hour in the lumber dis trict and no signs of peace in sight, affairs in the teamsters strike as- sumed serious aspect to-day.
 Unable to meet the demands for po- lice protection, Mayor Dunne issued a call for 1000 able bodied citizens to re- port at Chief O'NeiIl's office and be sworn in as policemen to do strike duty.
 Sheriff Barrett continued to swear in deputies. The number of deputies sworn in since the beginning of the strike now numbers 4O0O, one-fourth of whom are active deputies assigned to protect non-union drivers and wagons.

ROWS IN NORTH END.
Shop Coers Treated to Two Lively
 Scraps To-Day.

The north end was quite turbulent this noon. Two lively scraps took place within short time of each other.
 The first occurred on North Main street above North Square as the shop hands were returning to work. Two belhgerents made things hum for about three minutes. One followed the other and then pitched into him and for while they rolled about the street to the edificatiOn of a few thousand men and girls. Regaining their feet, one of them drew a knife that seemed a foot long and rushed at the other. The lat ter ran. pursued by his antagonist and they were given the entire s-uewalk for a distance. But the crowds were too much for them and then they took to the street and the last seen of them they were still running down North Main street.
 The other disturbance took place on the old Andrews property, where workmen are making excavations for a brick building which O'Brien the baker is going to put up. The fighters were a teamster and the foreman of the laborers. The teamster will undoubt- edly challenge Jeffries for that he con- siders himself a pugilist was apparent to the spectators of the row. The foreman and the teamsrer were not getting along well. Only with great reluctance the teamster took orders from the foreman. To-day he was more reluctant than ever and after din- ner his blood actually boiled. After a few words with the foreman he let out a right handler that took the foreman on his feet. A few blows were then exchanged. The foreman got bloody nose but he gave in return a bloody mouth. A workman then parted them and while the foreman was scanning the horizon for a cop the teamster put his coat on his arm. looked at his bloody face in pocket mirror smoothed his blonde hair and disap- peared.

Man Who Sandbagted Dr. Hartwell Sentenced
 in Indiana.

New Milford, Conn, May 25.-The Connecticut courts will not have an op- portunity right away to prosecute the man who was accused of sandbagging Dr Henry Hartwell of Judd's Bridge late in August last year, for the In- diana courts have just imposed sen- tence of from two to fourteen years on Charles Clark, alias Red Austin" the alleged bunco man who robbed a farm CT named Crofut of South Bend, Ind, of 5000 in a bunco game. According to the story stold by Dr Hartwell at the time he was robbed of several thous- and dollars the working of the game on the doctor and on the Indiana farmer was identical Sheriff MiddlebroOks of this county made an active search at the time and traced the supposed confidence man to South Bend where he had been arrested. The case was to have been tried in the. fall and 1t went over until February. The Con- necticur sherin WAS promised the pris- oner should the Indiana court fall to convict Clark of the charge against him. It was not promising outlook for there seemed to be great activity among Clark's friends to get him out of the way of the Connecticut officers. A message just received however shows that the confidence man failed to clear himself of the charge and must now go to prison.
 Dr Henry Hartweil is in fair health now although he suffered greatly in body aud mind after losing the $o.OOO. The doctor was approached by a man who claimed to be a member Of the
 Woodruff family and asked If he wish ed to invest in some good paying Sc curitdes. The stranger was 90 convinc- ing in his argument that Dr Hartwell
 went to the bank here and drew out s5.OOO. While returning to his home with the stranger the vehicle was stopped by a man on the highway and the doctor, according to his own story wns hit over tho head and dragged from the carriage and robbed of the money. The next day he received through the mail a letter telling nim that he was a fool to loSe his money at play with cards and that If he told the police his life would be in danger A similar letter was sent to Dr Hart. wells daughter, Mrs A. B. Spencer ol Greenwich. A few days later Mrs Spencer was driving towards her fath. CTS home a man jumped out of a clumI of bushes and fired shot at her. Mrf Suencer who was armed returned the shots and apparently hit the highway man. Threatening letters were left on Dr Hartwelrs door step. and once 2 double cross in red was marked on the door. For a time the incidents created
 much excitement in this section. The county officers, however. kept up
 search for the confidence man and m aIly were convinced that Clark who WAS arrested at South Bend was the man who rot Dr Hartwelrs money.

Wealthy Man Shot
 Himself.
Prominent Lawyer Was Killed In His Opera House When Questioned He Chose Death.

Savannah, III. May 25.- Boutwell, Pull ford, reputed to be the wealthiest cfh- zen of Savannah, committed suicide to-day few moments after being ques- t1oned regarding the whereabouts of a revolver with which he was suspected of having slain Attorney Daniel s. Berry, former leading member of the Illinois legislature. Pulford had de- nied any knowledge of the killing of Berry, but became agitated when ques- toned concerning the revolver. The story has been widely circulated that Berry was killed as result of atfen- ton paid by him to married woman. Pulf0rt, on arriving at his store to-day, found newspaper man waiting for him with queries as to the revolver. As soon as the interviewer had left Pull ford hurried home and going to the hayloft of his barn shot himself dead.
 At the sound of the revolver, Mrs Pulford became hysterical. When the neighboFs reached the house she was wailing franncally, her two daughters at her side
 For two months Pulford has shown signs of mental strain.
 When Berry was killed in Pulford's opera house last Monday and the au- thoritdes began to question Pulford 1t was evident to those who knew him best that Pulford's mind was giving way.
 Mrs Pulford, after the suicide to-day kept reiterating wildly T knew he'd do 1t. l knew he'd do it."
 Pulford's death ends the life of a man who rose from poor boy to the position of one of the wealthiest men in this section of Illinois. A tireless worker, he accumulated money fast and besides owning much of the most valuable real estate of Savannah he was the president of the Commercial bank and the owner of the electric light system.
 A remarkable circumstance in con nection with the death of Pulford aud Berry is a report that Pulford receiv- ed his first substantial business open ing through the influence of Berry.

DEAD IN BARN.
New Canaau Woman Killsl by Her
 Faverite Horse.

New Canaan, Conn, May 25.-While entering stall in order to give her pet horse drink, Mrs John J. Dillon, age 36 years, well known resident of this section, was kicked in the head, and in- stantly killed. No note of the woman's absence was taken until last night when her husband who had made in- quries from the neighbors as to bis wife's whereabouts and gained no in- formation, became worried and to- gether with few of his friends in- stituted a search. Mrs Hunt, one of the searchers visited the barn and on the floor, face downwards, directly in back of the stall of her fav0rite anil nal, she discovered the body of the woman with the left side of the skull crushed in. Judging from the appear ance of the body the terrible accident probably happened during the morn ing as 1t was at this time of day that Mrs Dillon took personal charge of her horse.
