Curcaco, June 10.—Following the turmoil and bloodshed of yesterday quiet has failen on the town of Lemont, and sobs and groans of sorrowing women and suffering men replace the sounds of yesterday's strife. This morning added another to the list of dead. George Kiskia, who was shot through the right lung, expired at 6 o'clock. On the ground, beneath a huge onk tree at section 10, covered by a gray woolen blanket, lies the body of another victim of yesterday's trouble. His name is not known.. He was probably a Pole and it is supposcd he came from Romeo or Joliet. His body still lies almost where it fell when shot, waiting for friends to claim it. These two are the only ones positively known to bedead, though it is generally be- lieved that from three to five bodies are in the canal. This morning a large number of men are dragging the canal for the bodies of those sup- posed to be drowned in it. ‘The body of another victini of yesterday's fight was found this morning near the county line fairly riddled with buliets. He bad run or if m mile from the scene of the trouble betoze succumbing to hia wounds. A search of the remains snowed nothing which would indicaze his identity.
