E’ISTOL SHOTS CAUSE A PANIC.
But They Brought Down the Pickpocket
the Police Were After.
CHICAGO, May 26.—Two pistol shots
fired by a police officer at a flying pick-
pocket started a panic among 5,000 people
last evening at South Park station. When
the crowd was densest a woman cried,
“Some one has picked my pocket.” There
was a pressure toward her at once. Five
young men who had crowded about her
separated and started in different direc
tions through the excited crowd. Officers
Leonard and Kehoe at once started in pur-
suit. Three of the men escaped in the
crowd. The officers were too quick for the
others, and John Holts, known to the po-
lice in this line of work, was capturai.
The other, Thomas King, also well
known, broke through the crowd, pursued
by Oflicer Leonard, who called on him to
halt. The thief ran “north on Lake aye-
nue, but evidently concluding that his
chances for escape were better in the
crowd, turned toward the depot. As he
did so the officer fired once in the air. The
man ran on, and aiming at his legs
Leonard fired again, fracturing a leg.
King fell into a crowd of women. The
Hyde Park patrol soon arrived, and the
wounded man was placed in the wagon
and taken to the county hospital.
FOUND STIFF AND COLD.
He May Have Been Killed by a Train
or Murdered.
YONKERS, N. Y., May 26.—Conductor
Meyer, of train N o. 34, on the branch line
of the New York and Northern road, while
proceeding over the trestle between Low-
erre and Par-khill station, just below this
city, at 6:30 o’clock Monday morning, no-
ticed the remains of a man on the ground.
He notified agent Schaflfer, who sent a
message to the police.
The body, which was stiff and cold, was
removed to Riley’s undertaking establish-
ment. The neck was broken and shoulder
dislocated, and there were terrible bruises
all over the body. It is not known whether
the man was struck by a train or not. He
was about forty-five years old and five feet
four inches in height.
The man was good looking and .wore a
fine dress suit made at Barnum & Co.’s,
New York. There was nothing about him
to identify him. Coroner Mitchell was
notified and took charge of the remains.
The Lumber Boycott.
NEW YORK, May 26.—-At the headquar-
ters of the lumber handlers Monday morn:
ing, it was reported that A. T. Decker, the
big lumber dealer, had called in eight of
the union men formerly employed by him,
and agreed to pay them whatever price
was agreed upon by the committees. He
will take back the rest of his locked out
employes Tuesday. A speedy settlement
is now looked for. The situation of afiairs
in the strikes of the framers and house-
smiths is unchanged.
Bardsley Sick in Bed.
PHILADELPHIA, May 26.—City Treasurer
Bardsley was again too ill Monday to ap-
pear in answer to a summons. He was to
have had a hearing before Magistrate Pole
at noon, but his physician positively for-
bade him to leave the house. Mr. Bardsley
is under $25,000 bail. This was imposed by
Judge Pole late on Saturday night, when
Mr. Bardsley was arrested at his home in
Germantown. No one has yet entered
security for him.
A Delegate’s Opinion.
BOSTON, May 26. —Mason A. Green, a del-
egate to the People’s party convention
recently held in Cincinnati, says that it
was one of the most important gatherings
he ever attended. He thinks it was the
most important convention since the first
convention of the Republican party. The
convention, he declares, was run by the
rank and file, and not by the leaders, as at
the old parties’ conventions.
