CHAPTER I.
It had rained so persistently in San
Francisco during the first week of Jane.-
ary, 1854, that a certain quagmire in the
roadway of Long Wharf had beeOnIe itn-
passable, and a plank was thrown ,over its
dangerous depth. Indeed, so treacherous
was the spot that it was alleged, on good
:mthorlty, that; a. hastily embarking trav-
eler had once hopelessly lost his portman-
teaii, and was fain to dispose of his entire
interest in it; for the sum of $2.50 tO'a spec-
ulative stranger on the. wharf. As the
stranger’s search was rewarded afterwards
only by the discovery of the body of a
casual Chinaman, who had evidently en-
deavored wickedly to anticipate him, a
feeling of commercial insecurity was added
to the other eccentricities of the locality.
The plank led to the door of a building
that was a. marvel even in the chaotic
frontier architecture of the street. The
houses on either side—irregular frames of
wood or corrugated iron—bore evidence of
having been quickly thrown together, to
meet the requirements of the goods and
passengers who were once disembarked on
what was the muddy beach of the infant
city. But the building in question ex-
hibited a.‘ certain elabora‘on of form and
design utterly inconsistent with this idea.
The structure obtruded a bowed front to
the street, with a curving line of small
windows, surmounted by elaborate carv-
ings and scroll work of vines and leaves,
while below, in faded gilt letters, appeared
the legend “Pontiaco—Marseilles.” The
“ma snip.” .
effect of this incongruity was startling.
It is related that an inebriated miner, im—
peded by mud and drink before its door,
was found gazing at its remarkable facade
with an expression of the deepest despon-
dcncy. “I hev lived a free life, pardner,”
he explained thickly to the Samaritan who
succored him, “and every time since I’ve
been on this six weeks’ jamborec might
.have kalkilated it would come to this.
Snakes I’ve seen afore now, and rats I’m
not unfamiliar with, but when it comes to
the starn of a ship risin’ up out of the
street, I reckon_it’s time to pass in my
cheeks.” “It is a ship, you blasted old
soaker, ” said the Samaritan curt-1y.
It was indeed a ship. A ship run
ashore and abandoned on the beach years
before by her gold seeking crew, with the
debris of her scattered stores and cargo,
overtaken by the wild growth of the
strange city and the reclamation of the
muddy flat, wherein she lay hopelessly
inibedded; her retreat cut off by wharves
and quays and breakwater, jostled at-
first by sheds, and then impacted in at
block of solid warehouses and dwellings,
her rudder, port and counter boarded in.
and now gazing hopelessly through her
cabin windows upon the busy street be-
fore her. But still a ship despite her
transformation. The faintest line of con-
tour yet left visible spoke of the buoy-
ancy of another element; the balustrnde
of her roof was unmistakably a taffrail.
I The rain slipped from her swellirig sides
with a certain lingering touch of the sea:
the soil around her was still treacherous
with its suggestions, and even the wind
whistled nautically over her chimney.
If, in the fury of some southwesterly gale,
she had one night slipped her strong
moorings and left a shining track through
the lower town to the distant sea; no one
would have been surprised.
Least of all, perhaps, her present owner
and possessor, Mr. Abner Nott. For, by
the irony of circumstances, Mr. N ott was
a far western farmer, who had never seen
a ship before, nor a. larger stream Of water
than a. tributary of the Missouri river.
In a spirit, half of fascination, half of
speculation, he had boughther at the
time of her abandonment, and had since
mortgaged his ranch at Petalum'a, with
his live stock, to defray the expense of
filling in the land where she stood and
the improvements of the vicinity. He
had transferred his household goods and
his only daughter to her cabin, and had
divided the space “between decks” and
her hold into lodging rooms and lofts for
It could hardly be
said that the investment had been profita-
ble. His tenants vaguely recognized that
his occupancy was a. sentimental rather
than a commercial speculation, and often
generously lent themselves .to the illusion
by not paying their. rent.'- Others treated
their own tenancy as a joke—a quaint
recreation born of the childlike familiar-
ity of frontier intercourse. A few had
left, carelessly abandoning their unsold-
ble goods to their landlord with great
cheerfulness and a. sense of favor. 0c—
casionally Mr. Abner Nott, in a prac-
tical relapse, raged against the derelicts,
and talked of dispossessing them, or even
dismantling his tenement, but he was
easily placated by a. compliment to the
“dear old ship,” or an effort made by
some tenant to idealize his apartment. A.
photographer who had ingeniously util-
ized the forecitstle for a gallery (accessible
from the bows in the next street), paid no
further tribute than a portrait of the
pretty face of Rosey Nott. The super-
stitious reverence in which Abner Nott
held his monstrous fancy was naturally
enhanced by his purely bucolic exaggera-
tion of its real functions and its native
element. “This yer keel has sailed, and
sailed, and sailed,” he would explain with
some incongruity of illustration, “in a
bee line, makin’ tracks for days runnin’.
I reckon more stems and blizzards hey
tackled her then'you ken shake a stick at.
She’s stampeded whales aforc now, and
sloshed round with pirates and freebootcrs
in and outer the Spanish main and across
lots from Marcelleys where she was rared.
And yer she sits peaceful like just 02 if
she’d never been outer a pertater patch,
and Jiadn’t plowed the sea with fo’sails
and studdin’ sails and them things ca-
vortin’ round her masts.” _ .
Abner Nott’s enthusiasm was shared
by his daughter, but with more imagina—
tion, and. an intelligence stimulated by
the scant literature of her father’s emi-
grant wagon and.the few books found on
the cabin shelves. But to her the strange
shell she inhabitedsuggcsted more of the
great world than the rude, chaotic civili-
zation she saw frOin the cabin windows or
met in the persons of her father’s lodgers.
Shut up for days in this quaint. tenement,
she had seen it change from the enchanted
playground of her childish fancy to the
theatre of her active maideiiliood, but
without losing her ideal romance in it.
She had translated its history in her own
way, read its quaint nautical hieroglyphics
after her own fashion, and possessed her-
self of its secrets. She had in fancy
made voyages in it to foreign lands,
had heard the accents of a softer tongue on
its decks, and on summer nights, from the
roof of the quarter deck. had seen me]-
lower constellations take the place of the '
hard metallic glitter of the Calilornian
skies. Sometimes, in her isolation, the
long, cylindrical vault. she inhabited
seemed, like some vast sea shell, to beconio
musical with the murniurlngs ‘of the dis-
tant sea. So completely had it taken the
‘place of the usual instincts of feminine
youth that she had forgotten she was
pretty, or that her dresses were Old in
fashion and scant in quantity. After the
first surprise of admiration her father’s
lodgers ceased to follow the abstracted
nymph except with their eyes—partly re«
'1
spectlng her spiritual shyness, partly rc-
specting the jealous supervision of the
paternal Nott. She seldom penetrated the
crowded center of the growing city; her
rare excursions were confined to the old
ranch at Petaluma, whence she brought
flowers and plants, and even extemporized
a hanging garden on the quarter deck.
It was still mining, and the wind, which
had increased to a gale, was dashing the
drops against the slanting cabin windows
with a sound like spray when Mr. Abner
Nott sat before a table seriously engaged
with his accounts. For it was “Steamer
night”—as that momentous day of reck-
oning before the sailing of the regular
mail steamer was briefly known to com-
mercial San Francisco—and Mr. Nott
was subject at such times to severely
practical relapses. A swinging light:
seemed to bring into greater relief that
peculiar encased casketlike security of the
low timber-ed, tightly fit-ting apartment,
with its toylike utilities of space, and
made the pretty oval face of Rosey Nott
appear a characteristic ornament. The
sliding door of the cabin communicated
with the main deck, -tiow roofed in and
partitioned off so as to form a small pass-
age that led to the open. starboard gang-
way, where a narrow, inclosed staircase
built on the ship’s side. took the place of
the ship’s ladder under her counter, and
opened in the street.
A dash of rain against the window
caused Rosey to lift her eyes from her
book.
“It’s much nicer here than at the ranch,
father,” she said coaxingly, “even leaving
alone it’s being a beautiful ship instead of
a shanty; the wind don’t whistle through
the cracks and blow out the candle when
you’re reading, nor the rain spoil your
things hung tip against the wall. And
you look more like a gentleman sit-ting in
his own—ship—you know, looking over his
bills and getting ready to give his or-
ders.”
Vague and general as Miss Rosey’s com-
pliment was, it had its full effect upon
her father, who was at' times dimly con-
scious Of his hopeless rusticity anti its in-
c’ongruity with his surroundings. “Yes,"
he said awkwardly, with a relaxation of
his aggressive attitutle;~“-yes, in coiirse
it’s more bring up style, but it don’t'pay
—Rosey—it don’t pay. Yer’s the Pontiac
that oughter be bringin’ in, ez rents go,
at least $300 a month, don’t make her
taxes.
her.” _
As Rosey knew her father had experi—
enced this serious contemplation on the
first of every month for the last two years,
and cheerfully ignored it the next day,
she only said, “I’m sure the vacant rooms
and lofts are all rented, father.” 4
“That’s it,” returned Mr. N ott though t-
fully, plucking at his bushy whiskers with
his fingers and thumb as if he were-rc-
tnovlng dead and sapless lncumbrances in
their growth, “that’s just what it is-~-
them ’5 oz in it themselves don’t pay, and
them ez haz left their goods—the goods
don’t pay. The teller ez stored them iron
sugar' kettles in the forehold, after trying
to get me to make another advance or.
’om, sez he believes he‘ll have to sacrifice
’em to me after all, and only begs I’d give
him a chance of buying back the half of
’em ten years from now, at double what I
advanced him. The chap that left them
five hundred cases of hair dye ’tween
decks and then skipped out to Sacramento,
met me the other day in the street and ad-
vised me to use a. bottle ez an advertise-
ment, or try it on the stern of the Pontiac
for fire proof paint. That foolishness ez
all he's good for. And yet that might be
suthin’ in the paint, if a teller had nigger
luck. There’s that New York chap ez
bought tip them damaged boxes of plug
tcrbaker for $50 a thousand, and sold ’em
for foundations for that new building in
. Sansome street at a thousand clear profit.
It’s all luck, Rosey."
The girl’s eyes had wandered again to
the pages of her book. Perhaps she was
already familiar with the text of her
father’s monologue. But recognizing an
additional querulousness in his voice, she
laid the book aside and patiently folded
her hands in her lap. '
“That’s right—for I’ve suthin’ to tell
ye. The fact is Sleight wants to buy the
Pontiac out and out; just ez she stands
with the two fifty vara lots she stands on. ”
“Sleight wants to buy her? Sleight?"
echoed Rosey incredulously.
“You bet! Sleight—the big financier,
the smartest man in ’Frisco.”
“What does he wantto buy her for?"
asked Rosey, knittingther pretty brown.
The apparently. simple question 59‘,“
He glanced
denly puzzled Mr. Nott.
iYeebly at his daughter’s face, and frowned
in vacant irritation. “That’s. so,” he
said, drawing a long breatht “there’s
suthin’ in that.” ._ - . , ,
“\Vhat did he say?” continued the
young girl, impatiently. -
“Not much. ‘You’vc got the Pontiac,
Nott,’ sez he.
you take for her and the lot'she stands
on?’ sez he, short and sharp. Some'vfele'n
lers, Rosey,” said Nott, with a cunning“ .
smile, “would hevvblurtedout.a-bigfig-r -
ger and been cotchcd. ‘ That. ain’t my'
style. 1 just looked at him. ‘I’ll wait'
fur your flggers until next steamer day,’
sez he, and off he goes like a‘shot‘. He’s
awfully sharp, Rosey.” ‘ ' _ .
“But if he is, sharp, father, and he
really wants to buy the ship,” returned
Rosey, thoughtfully, “it’s only because he
knows it’s valuable property, and not be-
cause he likes it as we do. He can’t take
that value away even if we don’t sell it to
him, and all the while we have the com-
fort of the dear Old Pontiac, don't you
see?”
This exhaustive commercial reasoning
was so sympathetic to Mr. Nott’s instincts
that he accepted it as conclusive. He,
however, deemed . it wise to still. preserve
his practical attitude. “But that don’t
make it pay by the month, Rosey. Sutliin'
must be done. I’m thinking I’ll clean out
that photographer? ‘ . .
“N of. just after he’s taken such a. pretty
view of the cabin- front of the Pontiac
from the street, father! No! He’s going
to give us a copy, and put the other in a
shop window in Montgomery street.”
“That’s so,” said Mr. Nott, musingly;
“it’s no slouch of an advertisement. ‘Thc
Pontiac,’ the property of A. Nott, Esq., of
St. JO, Mo. Send it on to your Aunt
Phoebe; sorter make the old folks open
their eyes—oh? \Vell, seeiii’ he’s been to
some expense fittin’ up an entrance from
the other street, we’ll let him slide. But-
as to that d—d old Frenchman Ferrcrs,
in the next loft, with his stuck up airs
and high falutin style, we must get quit
of him; he’s regularly gauged me in that
ere horsehair spekilation. ”
“How can you- say that, father?” said
Rosey, with a slight increase of color. “It
was your own offer. You know those
bales of curled horsehair were left behind
by the late tenant to pay his rent. When
Mr. de Ferrieres’ rented-the room after-
wards, you told him you'd throw them
in in the place of repairs and, furniture.
It was your own offer.” . " . - .
“Yes, but I didn’t reckon tlier’d cverbc
a big price per pound paid for the darned
stuff for sofys and cushions and slcli.”
“How do you know he knew it, fathers”?
responded Rosey.
“Then why did he look so silly at first,
and then put on airs when I joked him
about it, eh?”
“Perhaps he didn’t understand your
joking, father. He’s Ii foreigner, and shy
and proud, and—not like the others. I
don’t think he knew what you meant
then, any more than he believed he was
making a bargain before. lle i.i:i y be
poor, but Ithink he’s been—u——n—gentle-
man.” .
The young girl’s animation penetrated
even Mr. N ott’s slow comprehension. Her
novel opposition, and even the prettiness
it enhanced, gave him a dull premonition
of pain. Ills-small round eyes became
abstracted, his mouth" remained partly
open, even his fresh color slight-1y poled.
“You seem to halve been takin’ stock of
this yer man, . Bosey,” he said, with afaint
attempt at archncss'jv‘flf he warn’t ‘ez old
ez a crow, for all his young feathers, I’d
think he was makin’up to you.”
But the passing glow had faded from
her young cheeks, and her eyes wandered
again to her book. “He pays his rent
regularly cv‘e’ry‘rstenmer night,” she said, .
I bin thinkin’ seriously of sellin’ '
‘You betl’ sezI. IFWhut’ll’v
quit-fry, as if dismissing aiiexliausted sub“-
ject, “and he’ll be here in a. moment, I
dare say.” She took up her book, and
leaning her head on her hand, once more
became absorbed in its pages.
An uneasy silence followed. The rain
beat- ugainst the Window, the ticking of
a clock became audible, but still Mr. Nott
sat with vacant eyes fixed on his dangli-
ter's face, and the constrained smile. on
his lips. He was conscious that he had
never seen her look. so pretty before, yet
he could not tell why this was no longer
an unalloyed satisfaction. Not but that
he had always accepted the admiration of
others for her as a matter of course, but
for the first time he became conscious that
she not only had an interest in others, but
apparently a superior knowledge of them.
How did she know these things about this
man, and why had she only now accident-
ally spoken of them? He would have done
so. All this passed so vaguely through
his unrefiectlve mind, that he was unable
to retain any decided impression, but the
far reaching one that his ledger had ob-
tained some occult influence over her
through the exhibition of his baleful skill
in the horsehair speculation; .t'Thcm
tricks is likely to take a young, girl’s fancy.
I must look arter her,” he said to himself .
softly.
A slow, regular step in the gangway
interrupted his: paternal. reflections.
I-lastily buttOnlng' across big chest ”the pea,
jacket which he usually wore at home as
a single concession to his nautical. sur-
roundings, he drew-himself up with some-
thing of the assumption of a shipmaster,
despite certain bucolic suggestions of his
boots and legs. The footsteps approached
nearer. and a tall figure suddenly stood in
the doorway. '
It was a figure so extraordinary that-
even in the strange masq‘ ’uerade of ' that
early civilization it was remarkable; a
figure with whom father and daughter
were already familiar without abatement
of wonder—the figure of u rejuvenated old
man, padded, powdered, dyed and painted
to the verge of caricature, but without a
single suggestion of ludicrousness or
humor. A. face so artificial that it seemed
almost a mask, but, like a. mask, mere
pathetic than . nmti‘sing. He was dressed
in the extrei’ie "of fashiOn of a. dozen years
before; hisI pearl gray trousers strapped
tightly over his varnished boots, his
voluminous satin cravat and high collar
embraced his rouged cheeks and dyed '
whiskers, his closely buttoned frock cont
:linging to a waist that seemed accented
by stays. -
He 'ndvanced two steps into the cabin
with an upright precision of motion that
might have'liid the infirmities of age, and
said deliberately with a foreign accent:
“You-r-r ac-coumpti" - , '
In the actual presence of the apparition
Mr. Nott’s dignified resistance wavered.
But glancing uneasily at his daughter,
and seeing her calm eyes fixed' On the
speaker without embarrassment, be folded
his arms stiflly and, with a lofty simula-
tion of examining the ceiling, said:
“Ahem! Rosa! The gentleman’s ac-
count.”
It was an infelicitous action. For the
stranger, who evidently had not, noticed
the presence of the young girl before,
started, took a step quickly forward, bent
stlflly but profoundly over the little hand
that held the account, raised-it to~his
lips, and, with “a thousand pardons,
mademoiselle,” laid a small canvas bag
containing the rent before the disorganized
Mr. Nott and stifliy vanished.
That night was a. troubled, one to the
simple minded proprietor of the good ship
Pontiac. Unable to voice his uneasiness
by further discussion, but feeling that his
late discomposing interview. with his-
lodger demanded some marked protest,
he absented himself on the plea of busi-
ness during the rest‘of the evening, hap-
pily to his daughter’s utter oblivio'usness
of the reason. Ifightswero burning i-bril-
liantly in counting rooms and offices, the
feverish life of the mercantile city was at
its height. With avague idea of enter-
ing into immediate negotiations with Mr.
Sleight for the sale of the ship—as a di-
rect way out of his present: laxity, be
bent his steps toward the fi' er’s office,
but paused and turned bac . ‘ ore reach
ing the door. He made hisway to the
wharf and gazed abstractedly at the’lights
reflected in the dark, tremulous, jelly like
water. But wherever he went he was ac-
companied by the absurd figure of his
ledger—s figure he had hithertolaughed
at or half pitied, but which now, to his
bewildered comprehension, seemed to have
afateful significance. Here a new idea
-'s‘eized him, and he hurried back to the'
'shlp,,slackening his pace only when he
arrived at his own doorway. Here he
paused a moment and slowly ascended
the staircase. When he reached the pos-
sage ‘he coughed slightly and paused
again. Then he pushed open the door of
the darkened cabin and called softly:
“ROSGYI” .
“\Vhat is it, father?" said Rosey’s voice
:.'frOm.the little stateroom on the right—
7 Rosey’s own bower.
f'Nothingi” said Mr. Nott, with an af-
fectation ‘of languid calmness; “I only
wanted to know if you was comfortable.
' It’s an awful busy night in town.”
~ "Yes, father." ' ' r
”I reckon thar's tons 0' gold goin’ to the
states to-mori-ow."
.“Yes, father."
“Pretty comfortable, eh?"
“Yes, father.”
“Well, I'll browse round a spell, and
turn in myself, soon.”
“Yes, father.”
Mr.- Nott took down a hanging lantern,
lit it,;nnd passed out into. the gangWay.
Another-lamp hung from the companiOn I
hatch to light the tenants to the lower
deck,. whence he descended. This deck
was divided fore and aft by a partitions-i
passage—the lofts or apartments- being
lighted from the ports, and one or two by
a door cut. through the ship’s side com.-
muuicating with an alley on either side.
This was the case with the loft occupied
by Mr. Nott‘s strange lodger, which, be-
sides 0 door in the passage, had this inde- -
pendent communication with the alley. ‘
Nott had never known him to make use
of the latter door; on the contrary, it was
his,~ regular habit to issue from his apart-
ment at 3 [o‘clock every afternoon,;‘dressed .
as he has been described, stride deliberately '
through the passage to the upper deck and
thence into the street, where. his strange

The evolution of the tragedy was curiously
First, as has beenmshown, these men taught
radical Socialism. Next, the'y organized dis-
sontentcd workingipen to act more efficiently
in strikes. The usual trouble arose: “scabs”
took the place of ,ptriking workmen, they
wore attacked by flip strikers, the policowere
called '01: fOr protection and the inevitable
' question was‘presenjed—shall‘ we fight? The
Anarchists, in. speech and 'in The Arbeitor
Zeitung, vehemently urged destructive
measures. They exhorted the. strikers to
fight-both the “scabs" and the police, gave
minute instructions how to use nitroglycerin
and manufacture bombs, and had “armed
sections” of their supporters who drilled
nightly and were instructed in the use of
combs. ‘
At length it was _
Anarchists had 5,
revolutionists in Chicago, and it was proved
that they really had 3,000 at this time, as was
sworn to. during the trial. The Arbeiter Zei-
tung and The Alarm published many such
sentiments as these: .
Daggers and revolvers are easily to be gotten;
hand grenades a'rochegply to be produced. _

weapons, dynamite and prussic acid!

elaborate preparatlops to meet the outbreak
when it should come;
.Capt. John Bonfield, who assumed the respon-
sibility on the night ofthe tragedy, as on the day
of the previous riot, ,was born in 1836 in New
Brunswick, his father being a. County Clare Irish-
uan lately arrived in that province. In 1644 the
family moved to Chicago, where John learned
the trade of a machinist and afterward became a.
locomotive engineer. In 1877 he became a police-
man and rose rapidly in rank.
Superintendent of Police Frederick J. Ebersold

men were killed and many more wounded in
various degrees. From the battle ground
August Spies hurried to tho oilleo of The
Arbeiter Zeitung, wrote and had printed and
distributed the noted revenge circular.
On May 4 there was rioting nearly all day
on Blue Island avenue, near the McCormick
works. The First regiment was ordered to
be in readiness at its armory and the entire
police force was kept in instant readiness.
The Arbeiter Zeitung of that morning urged
destructive action, and the Anarchists were
busy among the strikers all day. Thousands
of copies of the following notice were scat- _
tered through the city:
“wanton, wonxtxouns!

The word “Rube” (German for “Peace“i
alleged to have been agreed upon as the sig-
nal for immediate revolution, also appeared
in that number of the paper.
THE FATEFUL NIGHT.
0n the evening of May 4 about 2,000 people
assembled. The managers placed the wagon
' on which the speakers were to stand a little
way up Dcsplaines street from the Hay-
market, by the mouth of a convenient alloy,
nud'nt a point where they could have a. full
view of the police as the latter advanced
from their Desplainos Street station. Mayor
Carter Harrison was in the crowd and ex-
prcsed some surprise at the mildncss of the
first speakers, Spies and Parsons. The crowd
was disappointed, too, and was fast melting
away, when Fieldcn took his stand in the
wagon. His most intimate English friends
could not have recognized the mild Metho-
dist cxhortcr and laborer of other days. His
frenzied declamation excited what remained
of the crowd, and their applause reacted on
him. It was testified at the trial that he
called for immediate action in these words:
Arml Anni! Throttle and kill the law]
Then Inspector Bonfield decided to disperse
the meeting. Seven companies of policemen,
175 men, in platoons reaching from curb to
curb, marched from their station of Des-
plaines street north to the wagon.‘ As they
drew near, Fielden is sworn to have shouted:
“Here come the bloodhounds; you do your.
duty and I‘ll'do mine I”
Capt. Ward, of the police, called out:
“In the name of the people of the state of
Illinois I command you to peaceably dis-
m
Fielden stepped down from the wagon ex-
claiming:
“We are peaceablei”
It; was claimed by the prosecution that:- $112
‘wo “peaceable” was the signal agreed on.
There was dead silence for perhaps ten
seconds, the crowd slowly moving off one:
tbé. police standing firm, when a strangt
lining sound was heard near the month of
the alley and thencca. little ball rose in curve
. over the wagon and fall between the cecond
and third companies of police. There was a

two miles and a deep prolonged roar, echoing
from tho buildings—then appalling screams
and a volley of pistol shots. The smoke
lifted, and the ground appeared covered with
slain—but only for an instant. Two whole
companies of police had been thrown to the
ground, of whom one, Matthias J. Degan,
was instantly killed, six mortally wounded
and sixty others hurt in various degrees
But the police rallied at once and with the
firmness and steadiness of veterans, they
sprung forward, emptying their revolvers
into the flying crowd as they went, and fol- '
lowing their shots with their clubs they
cleared the street in less than three minutes
of all save the dead and wounded. From
alloy, gutter and hallway came deep groans
and curses. .
Is is estimated that twenty of the crowd
were killed and about 150 wounded. An An-
archist named Kistler was killed by the
bomb. Midas Ofiicer chan, killed outright,
tho-policemen who died of their wounds were
J. J. Barrett, George Miller, Timothy Finni-

Neil Hansen. After the dispersion of the

The dead and wounded policemen were rap-
' idly conveyed to the station, the latter made
as comfortable as possible and

relatives. hurried there, for bad news flies
feat. The tears of some, the sobs and loud
cries of others, the groans, the gushes, the
blood and mangled bodies—all these formed
usccno towring the hearts of the pitiful.
Within a few Weeks Chicago had contributed
870,000 for the, care of the wounded police
and the-relief Of their families and those of
the dead. ‘: '
The bomb used is said to have been of the
same pattern used to kill the czar of Russia,
and is very well shown in the initial letter
cut of this account. It wus made of compo-
sition metal cups fastened together nearly in
the form of a sphere with a bolt and nut’.

ARREST—TRIAL-PCONVICTION.
0n the day after the tragedy the police de-
scended on every known Anarchist resort in
Chicago nndarrested every suspected man;
before morning many had been dragged from
their beds. Every one in The Arbeitcr
Zeitung Office was arrested: .August Spies,
editor in chief; Christ Spies, his brother;
Michael Schwab, associate editor; Mrs. Eliz-
abeth May‘Holmos, editorial contributor;
eighteen printers, ,two reportersand two
messengers. Rudolph Schnaubelt, who, it
