disposal of the Weismann Mining com.
pany during the copper boom Of 1905

worth his while, as well as their wives.
Taking aside the ladies' one at

Sail Lake City.-An evening OF ter
ror for Salt Lake pedestrians and mo-
trists reached its peak shortly after
IL o'clock Monday morning when two
unmasked young men shot and posi-
bly, fatally wounded Sergeant N. 2.
Pierce, the Fighting sergeant" OF the
Salt Lake police force, and ruthlessly
beat Patrolman George #. Watson over
the head until he lay insensible on the
ground near by.
No hope is held for the recovery
Of Sergeant Pierce. An X-ray picture
taken of the wound at the hospital
convinced the physicians that an OPP
eratiopb to remove the bullet would be
hopeless. The bullet entered his left
side, went through the spinal column
and lodged in the lung above the liver.
The lower part Of his body is paralyz-
ed, and he has suffered greatly from
loss of blood.
Robert Kelly and Herbert Middleton,
both apparently about % years Of age,
were arrested as alleged suspects In
connection with the shooting of Ser.
geant N. P. Pierce and the beating OF
Patrolman George f. Watson.
Patrolman Watson declared both
Kelly and Middleton closely resembled
the thugs who murderously assaulted
Sergeant Pierce and himself when q
police guard accompanied the two sus
poets to Watson's home.

Many were wounded In the milling

Repeated police charges, in which
heavy truncheons, the bobby's last re-

finally forced the mob back from
Whitehall and scattered them, for the
moment, up the Strand and Cockspur
street.
The battle was the climax OF a
march OF unemployed upon Downing

sought to carry their cause home to
Britain by clamoring at the gates of
the permier's house. Thousands had
come in from all parts of the country
to take part in the demonstrations.
