STRIKER THROWS BRICK,
 TELLING. POLICEMAN

Albany, April 24-A policeman, fe1led by a brick thrown by a strik- CT, shot one man, probably fatally, and wounded another less severely. Several men were more or less seri- ouly injured by missiles.
 The trouble originated when a band of 300 strikers from various trades attempted to induce masons to leave work on parochial< school Failing in their efforts, the strikers tried to drive the workmen away by throwing bricks The policeman, who with draw n revolver had ordered the strikers to leave, was struck in the breast by a brick and fired his first shot while falling to the ground
 Neither of the men shot was di- rectly responsible for the shooting though the police say the man report ed dying was among the assailants of the workmen.
 Police reserves dispersed the crowd after making twenty arrests.

accept covered rubbish carts to be
paid for by the Association; twenty
tive, without results, to establish a

where several people have fallen i'll
and five have died of sudden heart
attacks during this time.
The mayor of Phoenix, Ariz., where

that Arizona women have installed
