Chicago, April 3.—Armed forces rep resenting two rival suburbs of Chicago contended for the possession of a waterworks plant between midnight and daylight today. The plant is sit uated in the town of Berwyn. This town and the town of Cicero some time ago parted company and became separate municipalities. Possession of tbe waterworks immediately became a hotly contested question. Last night the Cicero authorities rep resented by three policemen in uni form, took possession of the place. They compelled the engineer and the assistant, both appointees of Berwyn, to perform their work. The Berwyn authorities telegraphed Chicago for help and at midnight four well armed private detectives arrived. They were sworn in as constables and warrants were issued for the arrest of the three Cicero policemen. The attacking par ty. headed by Village President E. M. Cole, numbered ten men. all armed. They found the place locked and bar red. More reinforcements were sent for and eight members of the Berwyn fire department responded. Guards were placed at all the windows and then a piece of timber was secured 1 and the door knocked from its hinges, j Only one policeman was found inside, j the other two having escaped. The guard was still on duty this morning. They said they expected that I the Cie< ro forces would gather addi tional men and attempt to recover the j plant. Supervisor Linlen, of Cicero, today declared that President Cole, of ! Berwyn, broke faith over the water- I works matter. He raid it had been agreed that Cicero should control the plant and its revenue till May 1. when the matter should be adjudicated by the courts. TRANSVAAL PEACE MISSION.
