Chicago. April s-Polieeman John
Tracy and Robert Nikisch are dying
Matthew Lalch died early to-day, and
three others are suffering from wounds
received in a street fight in the South
Chicago steel mill district late last
night.
As Tracy and Policeman John NJ.
White, who was wounded in the hand,
met a party of three steel workers, a
quarrel began when the policemen in
plain clothes. were crowded off the
sidewalk. The steel workers opened
fire, and by the time both sides had
emptied their guns, all had been
wounded. Captain Joseph Smith of the
Chicago police station said the three
steel workers, not familiar with the
English language, may have thought
the policemen were robbers.

CAR PLUNGED OFF
WILLIAMSTOWN TRACK
Train Was Moving Slowly and No
Great Damage Was
Done.

A box car, loaded with lumber. di-
reetly behind engine number 336 and
attached to two other loaded box cars
and a combination ear, jumped the
track on the Barre <Williamstown rail
road near curve opposite the Ward
icehouse yesterday afternoon about
1880 o'clock and toppled over l5foot
bank Luckily, the car coupling became
disconnected from the engine and the
other cars and the car went TO its desti
nation alone The train, an extra
freight, which makes up in Williams
town every other day, was travelling
slowly at the time. probably not more
than 10 miles an hour, when this car
left the rails and bumped along the
ties, for nearly 30 yards,
The train was brought to a stop
shortly by engineer Tim Gerry of
Montpelier, but the cars plunge over
the ~bank was inevitable as steep EN-
bankments are on both sides of the
track Engineer Gerry and fireman A.
j. Couture of Montpelier stuck to the
engine, though were prepared TO jump
il the engine started the downward
path with the freight car. The car.
when settled, rested on its top with
part of the trucks on the track and
part attached to the car, enough TO
prevent the remaining three cars from
passing for the time being. This like
wise, prevented the late afternoon train
from making the trip to Williamstown
and passengers and mail likewise were
transferred by automobile,
Trainmaster John f. Sullivan of st.
Albans and Dan Mcconnell, engine
house foreman of Montpelier Junction,
were soon upon the scene and with 4
group of workmen cleared the track
sufficiently to permit the passing of the
remainder of the train. This morning
the wrecking crew with the derrick
cars arrived from st. Albans and set
about righting the car, which first Of
all had to be unloaded of its tons of
lumber. The overturned ear did not ap-
pear to have suffered severely by the
accident, though the end of the car
behind it was badly
smashed and Vmore than so ties were
damaged.
