They at once offered their services to dress the wounds. Their services were gratefully accepted by the doctors and their tender nursing deeply appreciated by the sufferers. The Wounded Rioters and Citizens A Dead Bohemian. Below stairs at the station was the resting place of the wounded rioters and citizens the police had brought in. In the centre of the room lay the dead body of a Bohemian.

A shot had entered his body in the small of the back and bad gone clear through him, protruding under the skin. Scattered about juct as they were btought in were a dozen men more or less Germans. There was also a large number of Poles and Bohemians, besides some American-looking people who came to look on and detectives who had on old clothes. Groups of Germans were discussing the anticipated trouble. Three of these fallows stood right behind the reyorter, and he heard their conversation, which they kept up in a not very low tone, although Parsons was talking.

"Our people don't know anything," one of them said. "They always shoot in the air when they ought to shoot low. By shooting high taey don't hit anybody and often kill one of their own crowd. 1 have trained in crowds where they knew a thing or two, and our leaders always advised them to aim low."

Mayor Harrison was at the Desplaines Street Station for quite awhile la6C night, but he said nothing as to whether or not Communistic meetings will be allowed in the future. He was very grave, and as be walked around among the wounded his face wore a pallor not unlike marble.

It may be safe to say that from this time lorward there will be no Socialistic meetings held Sunday afternoons on the Lake-Front. If the police don't disperse them the people will. Chief Ebersold. Chief Ebersold when interviewed was as suave as usual, but not disposed to talk. He said that his force was ready for any present contingencies that could possibly arise, and that the police needed no help to crush and quiet Socialism and the red flag.

He had no intention of calling for or suggesting aid from the State Government or militia. His police force were brave and devoted to the cny-, and he and they had faith that they could guard it against all criminals and organized unlawful uprisings. Do you intend to prosecute tho men who ot the east and west alley. He called tha crowd of about 1,500 together and told them that Parsons and Fielden would soon tie there to address them. He jumped eff the wagroa and went round the square, bringing the men together towards the improvised plat form, while somebody went after Parsons, A little before 9 o'clock Spies again called the meeting to order and beijaoi address.

The majority of the crowd wera foreigners. Some had to have the words ot the speaker interpreted to them by their friends. Among tbe well-known Anarchist! present were Michael Schwab, B. Rau, and 9 man named Schnaubelt. Mayor Harrison was on the ground early, and walked up and down the square.

He was asked if he was going to speak, and replied: "No; and no one else eitner." He walked over to the stand, and then went to the Desplaines Street Station. About 300 policemen had been quartered there and in tbe neighborhood to be icady lor aa emergency, it was stated that there would bo no interference so long as the usual labor Desplaines street looked black and deserted, save where the gas-lampe showed blood on the sidewalks and curbstones.

Numerous detectives mtnledwith the mob surrounding the wagon used aa a speakers' stand. A stifT breeze came up from the north and, aniicipatinpr rain, more of the crowd left, the worst element, however, remaining, in a few minutes the police from the Desplaines Street Station, marching abreast the breadth of Desplaines street, approached.

A space of about two feet intervened between each line and they marched silently, so that they were upon the mob almost before tbe latter knew it. The glittering 6tars were no sooner seen than a large bomb was thrown into the midst of the police. The explosion shook the buildings in the vicinity, and played terrible havoc among the police. It demoralized them, and the Anarchists and rioters poured in a shower of bullets before the first action of the police was taken. Then the air overhead the fighting mass was a blaze of flashing fire.

At the discharge of the bomb the bystanders on the sidewalk fled for their lives, and numbers were trampled upon in the mad baste of the crowd to get away. The groans of those hit could be heard above the rattle of the revolvers. In two minutes the ground was strewn with wounded men- Then the shots straggled, and shortly alter all was quiet, and the police were masters of the situation. What Another Reporter Saw. Fielden was apparently about winaing up his address when a dark line wa3 seen to form north of Randolph Btreet and In front of the Desplaines Street Station.

For some time no attention was paid to it, but it gradually moved north, and the stars and buttons on the uniforms of a squad of policemen were seen glittering.

Officers Reid and forms were plainly visible as 'they approached, for the electric lights in front of the Lyceum Theatre set them off so as to form a good mark for the rioters. As the line approached a cry arose in the crowd: "The police! The police!" and the south end of the crowd began to divide towards the sidewalk and walk south to Randolph street. But the wagon in front of the Crane Bros. Manufacturing Company was not vacated by the speaker and the other "leaders." Fielden continued speaking, raising his voice more and more as the police approached. There was no warning given.

The crowd was rapidly dispersing. The police, marching slowly, were in a line with the east and west alley when something like a miniature rocket suddenly rose out of the crowd on the east sidewalk, in a line with the police.

A Harrowing Spectacle. The squad-room at the Desplaines Street Station, after the wounded were carried in, presented a most harrowing spectacle. Half a dozen men from whom the blood literally flowed in streams were stretched upon the floor, others were laid out on tables and benches, and others not so badly wounded were placed in chairs to await with what patience they could the assistance of the surgeons. Mattresses and other bedding were dragged down-stairs, and dozens of willing hands did their utmost to assuage the pain of the sufferers. Very soon the doctors were busy with needle, laneet, and probe; priests passed from one wounded man to another, administering brief consolatory words to some and the sacrament of extreme unction toothers; officers and volunteer assistants went around with stimulants, or helped to bind up wounds, or held the patient down while the surgeon was at work, or carried some Wounded Men Seeking the Drug-Stores.

Every drug-store in the vicinity was crowded holed, with difficulty.

such a terrible crime was to bo committed?" the marching police. It gave a red glare while in the air. The bomb lay on the ground a few seconds, then a loua explosion occurred, and the crowd took to their heels, scattering in all directions. Immediately after the explosion the police pulled their revolvers and fired Not exactly, though I heard in the afternoon, by means not necessary to mention, that the Communists were bent on mis chief. Their plan was to make a on tne crowd.

An incessant fire was kept up for nearly two minutes, and at least 250 shots were fired. The air was filled with bullets of the wounded to the other apart were fired on the battle-ground. They turned around and disappeared towards the street from where they had just come. A number of women were also seen in the crowd, and several scampered screaming down Randolph 6treet. Men were 6een falling 500 and 600 feet up Randolph street, west of Desplaines.

Hats were lost, and several, stooping to pick uo something they had dropped, were trampled on by the mad mob. In tne neighboring stores everything was confusion. Men in their haste to get away from the bullets broke open the doors of the stores and entered, biding iu the first convenient place they could hod. The proprietors struck at tne intruders w.th clubs and threatened them with pistols, but they pushed past these and entered. No More Free Speech and Dynamite.

Mayor Harrison, in the inner fringe of a crowd which numbered Chief Ebersold, Inspector Bonfield, and Capt. Ward, was leaning on the iron railing leading up to the office of the Desplaines Street Station at midnight. His head was bowed and his face bore a grave and abstracted expression, although he was laconically taking part in the conversation going on. A Tribune reporter with a question aroused him sufficiently to induce him to change his position and move a step or two away. Not wishing to annoy him with any questions that answered themselves, the reporter plumped this: "Mr.

Mayor, in view of the terrible facts of the night is the city prepared to meet any expected or possible emergencies?" Yes, we are ready for any probable or possible criminal outbreaks." This murderous move of tho Socialists was not anticipated?" Not dreamt of. Free speech is a right, but accompanied with murder and dynamite is a crime to be suppressed at all hazards." Can the city keep down this Socialistic element that planned the horrors of a while ago?" Yes, and more than that, now that it is plainly and fully warned, it will." What steps have you concluded to take?" No new ones are necessary. The laws are sufficient and they must be obeyed." Then you have no intention to call on the State militia?" The crowd ran up the streets and alleys and were fired on by the now thoroughly enraged ments, or in some other way did what could be done to help in easing pain or saving life. Pools of blood formed on police. Then a lull followed.

The first to receive attention after the crowd was effectually dispersed were the wounded officers. They were taken to tne Desplaines Street Station. Reinforcements of Officers Arrive and Disperse the Mob More Shots Fired. After the explosion crowds of excited people assembled on Desplaines, Washington, and Randolph streets, and, with bated breatti and compressed lips, talked over the wholesale murder committed by the Anarchists. Hardly a man spoke above a whisper, fearing to identify himself either with the Anarchistic fiends or the law-abiding Many oaths were sworn by officers, as they more than a score of policemen had clothing, and the clothing of those at work as gathered around their writhing comrades fallen victims to the deadly Nihilist bomb sur where a man was speaking, Capt.

It seems invidious The celerity with which the leaders of tho to select names in this manner where so much heroism was displayed in fact, to obtain the dynamite movement got out of the way as soon as the explosion occurred was little short of marvelous, and this fact led many to believe names of the more heroic was impossible in street toward Madison brandishing their batons and firing their revolvers in the air. It would have gone hard with any man who should have dtred give utterance to such a sentiment as this in the presence of an officer; he would have been killed without a word. As the police by companies swept the streets adjacent to the Desplaines Station the mob gave way sullenly and with the worst'grace possible, but there was no help tor it.

Crowds began to gather all over Hay-Market Square as early as 7:30. At the corners of Despiaines, L'nion, and Halsted streets the men stood together and talked over the situation. Some said they had been told the revolution would be started that night. There were many members of the Lehr-und-Wehr Vvtrein, tbe Socialistic liifle Union, among the crowds, so some who kuew them said. There was some uncertainty as to tbe precise place where tbe meeting was going to be held.

An Auarehist informed a the following: lice officers could collect their wits orders were at once issued for the arrest of the dynamite orators, and they there fore will be behind the bars 3 soon as the de citizens, as an expression either way meant a broken head and perhaps death. The big bell in the police station tower tolled out a riot alarm, while the telegrapher sent dispatches to other stations calling for aid. Ten minutes later patrol wagons were dashing toward the scene of the riot from all directions bringing stalwart policemen. Tho mob shouted as the wagons dashed by, and several missiles were thrown, all of which missed the bluecoat3 ou the wagons. The Anarchists slunk back as a large company or policemen on foot marched down Desplaines street, their faces white with determination and their hands on their revolvers ready to shoot to kill at their commanamg officer's order.

This company of police marched in front of the station while the dead and dying were being carried in. Several times the mob advanced with wild shouts from the north, but they were kept back as far as Randolph street. The Anarchists, led by two wiry-whiskered foreigners, grew bolder, and made several attempts to renew the attack, but tne police held their ground. The wind-bag orators who had harangued the fire-eaters earlier in the evening were not the leaders after business began, but they slunk away and were out of danger. At 11:30 the police made a grand drive at the mob, which was growing larger instead of nerenee? Any auimal, however loathsome.

One of the most painful scenes witnessed at the station was tbe arrival of women relatives of injured officers, who raised a most pitirul wail of anguish as soon as they entered the door. This was not a time for sentiment, however; it would not do for the wounded men to have wailing women around them, and consequently the females were firmly ana not un-gently excluded from the rooms where the sufferers lay, though the stalwart officers who pushed them back did so with tears in their eyes. About twenty minutes to 1 Nurses Scott, Sheldon, Bushnell, Lock, and Ricks of the Illinois Training-School for Nurses arrived at the mind which permitted of no resistance, and in a measure they were as dangerous as any mob of Communists, for they were blinded by passion and unable to distinguish between tne peaceable citizen and the Nihilist assasin. But then at such a time honest men had no business on the streets: their places were at home, and the police took it for granted that no man, unless he bad had work on hand, would be banging around the vicinity. For squares from the Desplaines Station companies and squads of officers cleared the streets and mercilesly clubbed all who demurred at the order to go.
