Arriving at the depot at 5 p. ms., we
proceeded on our way to Darlington,
alriving there about 10 30 p. mn. We
were met at the depot by Adjutant:
and Inspector General Farley and Capt.
H. T. Thompson, commanding the
narnlinn Guards, who escorted my
commarEd into the city. Notice hav
ing been sent from your headquarters
to the people of Darlington of the ap
proach of my command, good order
and quiet prevailed in the city. In
accordance with your instructions, we
took possession of the court house.
opera house and various other halls
tendered u.- by the citizens: also the
armory of the Darlington Guards, very
kindly tendered us by Captain Thomp
son. There I made my headquarters.
There was some curiosity and excite
ment on the arrival of tbe troops as
manifested by the people and there was
some fear. as indicated by expressions
of leading men that promiscuous ar
rests were to be made. Upon proper
assurances from me this feeling was
omewhat quieted, and after making
proper provisions for good order
imong the troops and the necessary
guard arousd their quarters, and after
lelivering the orders sent by you to
3eneral Farley, we retired at 2.30
)'clock for the night. Early the next
morning the necessary preparations
ere made for going into camp, to
which the troops were moved about 10
L. m. For want of necessary utensils
md camp equipage,the troops were fed
it the hotels, being marched there by
he officers and proper order prevailed.
['he camp was kept under guard, regn
ar guard mounting being observed,
md daily drills and dress parades ob
erved.
Early Monday morning I received
he following order:
COLUMBIA, S. C., April 2.
'Gen. R. N. Richbourg:
"Notify Coroner to postpone inquest
mtil further notice. Wire the situa
ion. B. R. TILLMAN, Governor."
Its terms were complied with and
he Coroner was duly notified. In en
.orcing the general orders I placed the
ecessary guard around the telegraph
fices, but sent you the following tele
ram:
HEADQUARTERS S. C., ToonRs
DARLINGTOM, S. C., April 3, 1894.
"Your note of this date, enquiring if

er supervision has been referred to

rith a request for immediate instruc
ion from him. His reply will be com
unicated to you.
R. N. RICHBOURG,
Brig. Gen. Commanding."
The foregoirg note was from a cor
espondent and was sent you in con
iection with a telegram explaining the
ibject of it. In reply to the above I
eceived from you the following:

Gen. R. N. Richbourg:
"The News and Courier shows that

rce rigidly my orders in reference to

About this time I received a tele
,ram from you asking if it would be
afe for the constables to return and
o testify at the Coroner's inquest; also
mother telegram insisting that the in
est be held as soon as possible. Re- I
lying I told you that I would consult
vith the leading citizens, but thought
t wise to delay such action. Being
>essed by you from time to time on
his subject, and conferring with the
aid citizens, I at last secured the fol- 1
owing agreement and telegraphed the
ubstance of the same to you:
"DARLINGTON, S. C., April 3. t

The time for the holding of the in
muet having been fixed, in obedience
l orders from you, for Wednesday
mornIng, April 4, 10 a. mn., I sent you
the following telegram:
DARLINGTON, S. C., April 3.
"Governor B. R. Tillmian
"Your telegram ordering inquest to
beg received. I have sent to Coroner
Parnell instructions to that effect, di
recting him to assemble his jury early
tomorrow morning iand to report to me
for instructions which I hereby request
fro you.
"T'he trouble seems to me to be dis
posed of at this end of the line. It Is
not within my jurisdiction, but as part
of the general operations 1 would be
glad if you would give me an idea of
your plans for the transportation of the
constables here, that being, so t ar as I
can see, the only remaining danger. I
have thought over that matter some
and may be able to offer some useful
suggestions. R. N. RrcnzoURG,
"Brigadier General."
In reply to the foregoing I received
the following from you:
(,O'LtrBIA, S. C , April 3.
"Gen. R. N. Richbourg, DarlingtoD, S.
C.
"If the constables cannot go to Dar
lington without escort the trouble has
only begun. It had as well be under
stood that the constabulary is not dis
banded, nor will it disband, and consta
bles will watch the depots for contra
band liquors as heretofore. My speech
and proclamation, appearing tomorrow
outlines my unalterable purpose. All
your suggestions appear wise and meet
my approval but individual' hotheads
will be arrested by you or sent out of
the town by its authorities it necessary.
I want the inquest finished as soon as
possible in order to withdraw the
troops. You cannot temporize in this
matter, but must make my position
clear and enforce it with vigor. Is there
a stenographer in Darlingtud ?
"B. R, TIL-LMAN, Governor."
Late-r I received the following:
"COLUMBIA S. C., April 4.
"Gen. R. N. Richoourg:
"The constables will leave here on
4:20 p. m. train and should arrive on
time. They are in charge of Chief

This Court of Inquiry was sitting at
the same time as tne Coroner's jury
and participated in the investigation
being conducted. At the close of the
inquest the Csurt of Inquiry made the
fonowing report to me:
DARLINGTON, Z: C., A pril 5, 18914.
"Brigadier General R. N. Rtchbourg,

"The undersigned, naving been ap
pointed by you to constitute' a military

being for the purpose of inquiring into
the cause of the death ot Frauk E
orment, R. H. Pepper and Lewis

"We have the honor to rep3rt that
we attended the.inquest asking through
the Coroner such questions as we
Lought proper, and heard all the testi

:onclusions therefrom:
"The sad tragedy which endel in the
leath of the three men above named
ad its origin in a ight between two
oung men of the town of Darlington,
Rogers and Floyd. They met at the
epot and after a few words engaged
n a fisticuff, in which R.gers was
whipped. At the fight, one J. D. Mc
endon, a State constable, was the
Eriend and backer of Floyd, having a
good deal to say to encourage the fight.
Ifter the fight Rogers went up town
md returned with several friends.
kbout the same time the Chief of Po
ice ot the town arrived at the depot
oge'rs began cursing Floyd, and at the
ame time pointing to McLendon, said
;hat he had aided Floyd. using very op
robrious epithets, to which McLendon
eplied in very forcible longuage. The
3hief of Police arrested Rogers and
Floyd and for the moment had order re
itored. Kir. Norment and one or two
)ther citizens pointed to McLendwn
d said that he was responsible for
he whole matter. Norment called Mc
ndon a d-s- of a b-. McLendon
eplied that he would not take that and
mediately drew his revolver and fired
t Norment. Immediately som" six or
ight citizens and the constaules dre'v
heir pistols and began firing at each
ther, several of the ccnstabies using
inchester Rifles. We tirmly beli ve
hathad McLendon not interfered, th
.'hief of Police would have had ro

ng the tragedy. We deeml i urnes:s
ary to state all of the testa-ony, as the
opy of the same will be ti ansmittI d

I transmitted to the leadling citizens
of Darlington the ultimatum from y ou
which appears anove. I had a con'er

The inquest having been finished, and

made arrangements for the departure
ot the troops on Friday morning at 7
o'clock, in accordance with the follow

Santee Ri:lls to Columbia by tomorrow

return direct to their home. I congratu
late you on the satisfactory termination
of the campaign.
"B. R. TILLMAN. Governor."
My command left Darlington at
the appointed hour. At Florence the
troops stationed there boarded the train
and, with the exception of the com
panie3 which left at Florence and Sum
ter for their homes, arrived in Colum
bia about noon on Friday. They were
met and addressed by you, and paid off.
Some of the companies left immediately
after ward and all went to their homes
by night. Toe cmpanies which re
mained until the afternoon were
marched to the Penitentiary and there
given dinner.
There were numerous telegrams of no
public importance which passed be
tween us which I do not desire to cum
ber this report with. Some of them,
hovever, were at least interesting.
Among the telegrams from you was
the following, to which I unhesitating
ly wish to add my approbation:
"CoLUMBIA, S.C., April 4 1894.
"Gen. R. N. Richbourg, Darlington,
S. C.: -
"It affords me pleasure with such
lights as I have before me, even at this
distance, to give expression to my ad
miration for the conduct of Captain
Thompson and his men. The situation
wouli have been much more aggra
vated and the prospect of a satisfactory
termination of this unfortunate affair
much much more remote but for their
courage and devotion to duty. You
may also express to mayor Dargan my
appreiation of his latest effort. Had
his dr-t action displayed like wisdom
and firmness we might not have to re
gret the terrible tragedy which has oc
carred. "B R. TILLMAN, Governor."
I can say that I never saw a more pa
triotic devotion to duty than shown by
the Darlington Guards, commanded by
Caot. 11. T. Thompson.
Four years'service in the late war
gave me a knowledge of the daties of'a
soldier which I cherish. Th'is know
ledge leads me to say that not during
!hose years of struggles dId I know
soldiers who surpassed in efficience and
obediernce to orders the various com
panies under my command at Darling
ton and Fiorence. I did not have a
sngle complaint as to misconduct on
thie part of a solitary soldier.
Every msmn conducted nimself in
a soldierly manner. I would
like to bestow my appreciation
of this conduct on each command by
name but it would lengthen this report
'jtyoned all reason. I will, however,
make favorable mention of Col. J. C.
Bo d Major Wardlaw and Miajor J. 0.
Wet flid tne latter in temporary charge
of the Tnird Battalion. These officers
proimptly enforced all oders issued to
them and kept strict discialmne in
camp.
After order hadbeen restored,and your
ul m-itum ha been agre-ed to the citi
zens of Darlington called upon me and
exuresed their gra'ification at thle
ceanner in which affairs had been ad
jis-edJ. Tney were cordial in their
treatmefnt ot me and the members of
my staff and complimented nighly the
conduct of the officers and soldiers
durmg~ their stay in D irlington.
Fr-am the time I was placed in com
mand I endeavored to the best of my
ability to da my duty, enforcing rigidly
all orders from your Excellency.
In conclusion, I would thank you
for the uniform courtesy shown me
throughout the campaign.
Having finished this report I would
beg to be discnared fram daty.
Respectfully, R. N. RICIIBOURG.
Brigadier General Commanding.
A Farmer's Expertment.
A correspondent of a North Carolina
paper gives the foliowing account ot
his experiment in plantmng corn: I
wi. o gtive the farmers the benefit of
a littl- experiment that I made with
giuu Iast spring on corn. The land
was cbecked 4 feet one way 3% the
otner. I used one sack pntting it in
the check on every other row till it
gave out. I had 48 ro ws with guano by
the side of 48 rows without. In two
t wo weeks after the corn carwe up the
fertilized 'ro ws began tc show, and by
the first of June they were a foot high
er than the one by their side. I gath
ere-d two rows and weighed one row of
each. The ro w no guano weighed 61%
pounds; tne one with 86%j pounds, a
gamn of 25 poutis to the row and In 47
're vs I made 1,224 pounds or 17% bush
els of corn more by using one sack of

COLUMBIA, S. C., April 13.-The
following letter. which came in an en
velope addressed to the chief executive
of the State a fe v days ago, may be cn
sidered one of the curious of the "latest
unpleasantnes3," and is entirely self-ex
planatory:
Governor Tillman and Cftizins of South
Carolina:
Respected friends-A portion of your
fellow cit:zecs, organized as the Uni
versal Peace Union feel drawn to you
in sympathy and a common interest in
your trial hour.
It is not our intention to criticize the
maintenance of law by your excellency,
for he has covenanted to maintain and
execute the law and we all admire the
fulfilment of an obligation, neither is It
so much our intention to criticize an ex
pression. of opinion of disaent from cer
tain laws, it these laws are nt ac
cepiable or popular. but it is felt to be
an orportune moment for us to urge
upon you all the consideration of love.
justice and charity and especially to im
plore those who would violently oppose
the law to be patient, ard to abide by
enactments and seek their amendments
or abolftion through the peaceable and
notent means of the ballot. What the
ballot makes the ballot can unmake. If
the bullet destroys life the bullet can
not restore life.
Etpecially do we want to present the
better way of settlig difficulties by ar
bitration, instead of naving military force
as a reserve iribunil, to have courts of
arbitration.
From the reports we have received,
we find history bas repeated itself, In
so far that the military refused to act
nader orders of your Governor and that
e had recourse to volunteers.
We may admire the surrendering of
arms rahter than using them against the
govenment, but what we wish to empha
size as a thought for the future, and one
more in accordance with our American
idea. tboroughly republican and demo
cratic, is, that deadly force is unreliable.
Our people will think for themselves.
One class shrinks fcom firing upon an
other class of our fellow c:tzens, and
that the military system is not a guaran
tee of loyalty, but is a dangerous and
unreliable element.
In your zsal and widom, good friends,
will you not live in peace, preserving
life, liberty and happiness, which will in
sure prosperity? Let us all strive to
establish wise and impartial arbitration
far the ruinous, uncertain and wicked
military system.
0a behalf of the Universal Union,
ALFRED H LovE, President.
P. S. April 6th, 1894. Although our
latest information indicates that there
is at least a cessotion of hostillities, if
not a restoration of order, and we be
lieve a disbanding of the soldiers, we
submit does it not leave a sting behind?
Is not the loss of life and treasure unne
cessary, as it is sorrowfui? Will it not
incite everyone to arm and create a mili
tary spirit that will induce the forming
of rifle companies and brigades? Is not
t'e time opportune to submit to the
potent and practical influncces of reason
and humanity, as exemplified by courts
of arbitration?
We appeal for this and submit the
proposition .of your calm and earnest
consideration. A. H1. L..

NEW YoRK, Aplil 1.-A fearful
gale s wept the New Jirsey coast last
night and continues to-day with almost
unabated fury. The beach along the
Atlantic Ocean from Sandy Hook as
far South as Long Branch, N-. J., is
strewn with wreckage. This morning
a large schooner was noticed in distress
a short distance from the coast at Sea
Bright, N. J. Owing to tne heavy gale
ano tremendous surf, the life boats:
were useless and it was impossible to
successfully land the life lines. Before
assistance could reach the vessel, it
went to pieces. Six bodies have been
washea ashore and it is feared that
others have been lost In the surf. A
heavy show storm prevailed during
the morning tx'urs and the life saving
crew were unable to locate the signal
guns whieh could be heard sounding at
intervals. A great many handsome
cottages at Highland Beach, Sea Bright
Monmouth and other ports have been
wrecked. Many pavilions at Long
Branch have been damaged. and at
many points wharves, landings, bath
houses, etc., have been swept away.
Reports received from points South
as far as Atlantic City state that the
storm has raged all night and it is
feared that many vessels have been
wrecked and probably a great number
of their crews drowned. The
telepeone wires connecting the life
saving stations have been blo wn down
and it is impossibla to get details of the
storm.
POTTSVILLE, Pa, April 1.-The
storm in Schuylkill County is the
greatest in ijoint of snowf all in forty
years. At Pottsville there is fif teen in

eight inchhes deep. Not a coal train
has been moved and all the track labor
ers and hands are kept busy in digging
opea the switches and the main tracks,
while engines with sno w plo ws are at
wark clearing the tracks to the mines.
The collieries are all idle .

MILWAUKEE, Wis., April 9.-At
4:20 this morning flames were seen
breaking out from the rear of the David
son Theatre and hotel structure, valued
at $300,000. The alarm w -as promptly
responded to but not unt 1 the roof was
a sheet of fiames. Iminediately on the
arrival of the firemen ladders were run
up and men rushed up on the roof, six
stories from the ground. In doing so,
Allie Reese, one of the men, slipped and
fell to the ground, being killed by the
fall. All the men from Eagine house
No. 4 were ordered to the rear portion
of the roof, iight over the stage, where
the fire was worst. These firemen and
others took their stations and began work,
when without warning the root under
them gave way, precipitating nine of the
men eighty feet below into the fire on
the large stage of the theatre, all of
whom were etber killed by the fall, or
burned or suff~cated to death.

COLUMBIA. S. C., April 9.-Such a c
peace!ul, quiet Sabbath as yesterday.
was in strikina contrast with the preced- t
ing 3unday. It was a day of rest and
the people all went to church; the Sun: 1
day before was a day of excitement and
anticipation,no one knowing what might
happen within the hour; a day full of
stirrme events which made men forget
the church bell's call, when they were r
gathered around the bulletin boards. t
Yesterday morning a representative
of The State called upon the Governor, e
with the purpose of ascertaining what c
was to be done about the militia. The e
Governor went over the whole roll of I
the militia forces of the State and
marked with a blue pencil the following
companies as those which had responded
to his call:
First Regiment Infantry-Edgefield
Rifles, Edgefield; Palmetto Rifles, A!- e
ken; Sally Rifles, Sally; Richardson h
Guards, Montmorenci; Santee Rifles, 0
Elloree. t
The Governor stated that out of this a
regiment the Edisto Rifles of Johnston
and the Capers Lgbt Infantry of Edge- s
field were ready and awaiting bis or- J
ders. The only other company, the a
Gordon Volunteers, he did not order t
out.
Second Regiment of Intantry (the
old palmetto Regiment)-Fort Motte
Guard-. Every other company in the i
whole Second Regiment reiused to re- h
spond.
Third Regiment of Intantry-Abbe- r
ville Rifles, Abbevile; Newberry Rifes, t
Newberry; Morgan Rfles, Spartanburg; a
Maxwell Rles, Greenwood; Hampton b
Guards, Spartanburg. The Governor says a
in regard to the five other companies in n
this regiment that he does not remem
ber exactly what they all cid. He says,
however, he did not order out the Bon- 0
ham Light-Infantry of Bradley's, one P
of these five, but that he did order out t
the reak Guards after they had reported h
for duty, and has never heard any more r,
fcom them. He intends to have this in- d
vestigated by a court of inquiry. 0
Fourth Regiment of Intantry-Dari- p
ngton Guards, Blshopville Guar,!s. s:
There are seven other comoanies in this 0
regiment. The Governor says: "I did
not order out the Florance Rifes, but V
they aunked just the same. The Sum- D
ter Lirht Infantry obeyed my order at
the first, but after the action of the Co- v
lumbia companies, they went to places, f
too. In regard to the Bishopvllle Guards t
I ordered them out, gave them a special e
train and they went to Darlington, but e
they went home without any &iers from ti
any one. They have sent me a pari,1r ti
explanatioa here, which don't amount h
to much, and I intend to order a court h
of inquiry in their case. I do not re- d
memoer what transpired in regard to t
ths other compenies. I do remember
that I did not order out the Cheraw and
Chesterfield companies.
Fifth Regiment of Infantry-Green- I
ville Guards of Greenville, Butler
Guards of Greenville, The Governor a
say s that he did not order out the other t,
four companies in this regiment. f3
First Battalion of Infantry, Second a
Battalion of Infantry, Washington o:
Light Intantry Battalion, .Naval Battal- tl
on and Artillery (the Charleston v
troops, composing what is known as the ta
Fourth 3rigade)-In regard to these b
roops the Governor passed them over '
with the simple statement that "the &
wole thing had flanked." He didn'ta
say whether there were going to be
:orts martial or not. r
First Regiment of Cavary-Col. Cau
sey came here, bring with him, so says f
he Governor, five of his captains and a
more or less men. There are eight b
ompanies in the regiment. The Gov- a
ernor says a coiurt of inquiry will have v
o throw some light on the movement of 11
the men in this regiment. b
Second Regiment of Cavalry-The ~
Governor says the Edgefield Hussars, 9
he Ededeld Light Dragoons and the C
Dibble Dight Dragoons of Orangeburg ~
ere the only three of the nine comn-t
panies in this regiment which he or- t<
dered out, they all responding.
Tbird Regiment of Cavalry-Only c
two companies of the seven in this regi- o
ment were ordered out. They were the t:
ampton Light Dragoons of Panols, s
and the Conner Mounted Riflemen of Sl-' a:
ver. They were gotten in readiness, ~
but received no orders to move.
First Battahion of Cavairy-None of 8
the companies in this battalion were or
dered out, and thus the Governor
says two companies in Charleston anda
te company at Summerville escape the g
reorganization. They are the German a
fussars of Charleston, and the Charles- t
ton Light Dragoons of Charleston. There u
are five companies in the battalion. a
Third Battalion of Cavalry-None of t
the five companies were ordered out. t
First Brigade National Guards and
all other National Guards Troops-Not I
orderid out.
It will be seen from the above-that ~
there were only twenty-two companies, -
of the militia force of the State, omitting,
f course, those not orderad out who
stood by the Governor. -
In reply to a question as to whether .j
there wou'.d be any courts martial of 1j
field officers, the Governor said he knew
of none outside the field officers of the t:
Fourth Brigade. All the other field offi- z
ers called upon carried out the orders '9
given .-State.

EFFECTS FINANCIALLY.
overnor Tillman en Anctvw Feature
of th e Trouble.
COLUMBIA, S. C., April 11.-It appears
hat South Carolina's business affairs
nd her standing ira the flnancial world
tave been injured by the rt cent trouble
n the State and business men are com
>lainint very much about the condition
>f affairs.
Several of the banks have been cut
ff from the financial aid they had ar
anged for, simply on account of this
rouble.
Yesterday morning a bank president
ad a talk with Governor Tillman about
he situation and as a result the Gover
Lor gave the following interview to the
iress. It was also seat out on the As
ociated Press wires:
"I wish to say a few things to-day in
egard to the aspect of this insurrec
ion on the business interests of the
hate. I desire to express with all the
mphasis I can my absolute belief id
oL fidence in the assertion that seven
ights of our people, without regard to
iolitics, condemn the action of those
rho bought on the trouble and of their
ympathizers, both among the citizens
nd the militia. The responses which
re coming in from all over the State
nd the offers of volunteers to uphold
he law and repress disorder make it
lear that life and property are as safe
Lere as they are anywhere. South Car
linias have no stomach for nor will
hey tolerate any such emeutes as those
t Darlington and Florence.
"The business centers and capital
eeking investiment will do great in
istice if they are led to believe that
ny more such South American at
mpts at revolution will be made.
ver half of the milita has never been
alled out at all and there would have
een no demoralization or injurious
npression sent aboard, but fcr the
ompanies in this city, which is the
ead center of the political opposition,
rhich lay at the bottom of the insur
ection. Their refusal gave the impulse
D militia in the other towns and created
false impression that we were on the
rink of civil war. Only four counties
t all were involved in any riotous, de
ionstration-Darlington, Florence,
umter and Richland.
"The recorganization of the militia,
r rather the organization of new com
anies to take the place of those which
ave disgraced themselves, has already
-ken place and the arms will soon be
i the hands of faithful men, who will
spond always promptly to the call of
uty. Back of those is a reserve force
f thonsands of citizens,volunteer com
>anies alread organized and armed with
hot guns ready to move when called
n.
"I can therefore, give assurance to
e world that law and order will be
aintained in South Carolina and I
ave every reason to believe that there
rill never oe another outbreak.
"In conclusion, it is a source of gratt
cation to express publiciy my thanks
) the officers of the different railroads
entering here for their prompt acqut
3ce of my orders and hearty co-opera
ton in concentrating and moving the
oops. They showed plainly that they
ad no sympathy for such lawless be
aviour and contributed in no small
egree to- the prompb suppression of
e insurrection."

The following bulletaU. was issued
rom the State Weather-ButeaiLQCo
imbia last Wednesday:
The temperature for the week was

ie nights were very cool, with light

rarm and gave a new impetus to all
rowing vegetation. There was an
verage amount of sunshine during the

In general, there was a deficiency of
ainfall throughaut the State. There

autheastern portions, which were very
eneficial. High winds in the central

In the coast region rice planting has

Mch diversity of opinion regarding
rains prevails among corresponnents,
Ithough all admit serious injury. The
ruth is that some fields suffered but
ttle while others were seriously d ac
ged, depending on localty and stage

ged. The full amount of injury done
o grains will probably not be known
ntil threshing time. It is admitted by

Cotton planting is well advanced in

Zhe acreage will be, apparently, up to

Some potatoes were replanted, but

KANSAS CITY, April 7.-Excitement
bas not yet abated over the election riot
between the American Protective asso
clat)n and the anti element. and re
'ults are worse than was at first re
ported. The lines were strictly drawn
and in the encounter which followed
the clash, one man was killed instantly.
Three others fatally wounded and two
were teriousiv hurt.
The two antagonistic elements were
solidy divided in their choice of candi
dates for mayor and the election was in
progress. The aggressive support that
each side gave to its candidates during
ene ot the hottest campaigns ever known
in this city engendered a strong senti
ment of bigotry. It was, therefore, in
no amiable mood that the workers of
the respective factions came togthers at
the different polling places in the city,
and that they came expecting trouble is
apparent from the number of deadly
weapons that were detwn who 'rx
fring was started. There were a num
ber or less serious aficays in o.her par.ts
of the zity earlier in the day.
The fatal riot occurred on the South
west boulevard, in the Fifth ward, very
-lose to police station No. 3. Those who
took part in it had been heated to the
Sighting temper by reports tha ; bad been
hourly arriving at the stati4n of the
brawls at other polling plaoes. aly
Due bour before, John Gooley, a s',oue
mason, was shot in the forehead ani
back by William Henry Walker at a
voting place at the cornor of Fifth and
Uampbell streets in a row growing out
f a fiery debate between the two men
regarding the principles of the American
rotectine association, to which Gooley
was violently opposed. That Gooley
was not instantly killed was due to the
fact that the pistol used was a mera toy
f 22 calibre.
The American Protective association
men who supported Webster Davis, the
Republican cmadidate fbr mayor, had
their own workers at the different poll

precincts their own tickets bearing their

Jim Pryor, a Fifth ward politican,
an agonistic to the American Protective
associa'ion, who supported Frank John
aton, the labor and faction Democratic
andidate, was active at the head of 50
onstables, whom he had got Justice

ome that these constables were, many
f them, irresponsible characters and
ere solely the cause of the trouble.
rhere were loud threa's ot mobbina them
before they could get to the headquar

It is claimed that .one of Prvor's fol

was Mike Callahan, and he was a dead
man tae next moment. Then the battle
began. The deputy coastables at this
polling booth and the workers of all the
