4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 1896. LABOR RIOT AT INDIANAPOLIS Clubs, Stones, Brickbats and Pistols Are Freely Used. INTENSE EXCITEMENT. Two Non - Union Men Fatally Shot and a Bystander Wounded. MANY SKULLS WERE CRACKED. The Battle Opened by Foundrymen Who Went on Strike a Year Ago. INDIANAPOLIS, Isp., March 21.—A serious labor riot, which resulted fatally to one man and the injury of several others, occurrea here between 5 and 6 o’clock this evening on West Washington street, the rioters keeping up a running fight for more than a square and creating intense excitement on the crowded thor- oughfares. Nearly a year ago the employes of Taylor & Chandler's foundry went out on strike on account of a difference regarding wages and since that time there has been periodical trouble. The strikers were de- termined that non-union men should not work and the management was equally determined to employ no other labor. The strikers proved so aggressive when non-union men were brought here from Pittsburg and other Eastern cities that the firm was compelled to place bunks in the shops and serve its men with other needs inside the works. This evening when the men left the shop | for the day a crowd of union men advanced upon them from the west and at the same moment another crowd appeared ou the east, thus having them between two sec- tions of their enemies. With a shout the strikers attacked the non-union men with clubs, stones and brickbats and a general fight ensued. g | While the men were thus struggling with each other several pistol shots were tired, and William Watson and Walker Davis, non-union men, and Hopker Lee, a bystander, were shot. Lee received two bullets in the neck, but neither of the wounds is considered fatal. Watson was shot in the thigh, the bone being shat- tered. The wound may prove fatal Davis was shot through the head, and was taken to his home in a dying con- dition. | A number of the strikers were beaten | with stones and clubs and some badly bat- tered by the tin dinner-pails in the hands of the employes. Several of the employes were also beaten with stones and clubs, but th cattered and ran when the pistol-shots were fired. The full list of the | injured could not be secured. The police finally quelled the riot. STUBBORN I UFACTURERS. Chieago Clothing Men Positively Refuse to Arbvitrate. CHICAGO, IrL., March 21.—A commit- tee of clothing manufacturers, represent- ing the association which is fighting the Cutters’ Union, met in conference this afternoon a special committee of promi- nent men and women named by President Baker, on behalf or the Civic Federation, to make a final effort to induce the em- ployers to arbitrate, the Cutters’ and Gar- ment-workers unions’ having consented. The manufacturers positively refused to submit to arbitration, claiming the right to deal with tneir employes separately. They were in an angry mood at the pub- lished reports of the starving condition of the strikers and their families, as discov- ered by the Hull House investigators. The report denounced the manufacturers for refusing to arbitrate, and declared thatthe destitution of many garment-workers was due to the payment of starvation wages and getting work only eight months of the year. The sympathy and support of the public was bespoken for the strikers. NOT PERMITTED T0 FIGHT Police Cause the ‘Bout Between Choynski and McCoy to Be a Fizzle. Boxing Dead in New York, Except When Carried on by the Big Clubs. ; NEW YORK, N.Y., March 21.—The vrospect of seeing a six-round bout be< tween Joe Choynski and Charles (Kid) McCoy, who recently defeated Tommy Ryan, the welter-weight champion, drew a big crowd te the boxing tournament at Grand Central Palace to- night. The sports were all anxiods to see how the “Kid" would acquit himself when pitted against the well-known strength and ability of the shifty Californian. On his showing to-night the sports expected to geta line on the “Kid’s” true form and determine whether he was a first-rater or not. *“Brooklyn Jimmy’’ Carroll officiated . as referee. The first bout was between Solly Smith of Los Angeles, Cal., and Jerry Barnett of this city, at 123 pounds. Smith did all the Jeading and had his man clearly over- matched when the police interfered and the referee stopped the bout after forty. seconds of the first round had been fought. Smith got the decision. The next pair were Charley Barmon of Jersey City and Morris Hagerstrom of Providence, R.1. They boxed four rounds and Hagerstrom was the winper. Paddy Purtell, the Kansas City welter- weight, and Jim Butler of Brooklyn, the old-time ex-amateur middle-weight, fol- lowed inasix-round boutat catch weights. Butler had his man guessing during the first round, but after that it was almost plain_sailing for Purtell. In_ the third round the police interfered. Purtell was deciared the victor. Jim Handler of Newark and Jack Mur- phy of Long Island City engaged in the next bout. The police stopped it in the second round, deeming the boxing too rough. % Then the Choynski-McCoy bout, the star event of the evening, was announced. The police sald they would not allow the bout o go on on its merits. At this the crowd rose as one man gnd hissed, Tne men then shook hands and confined themselves to exchanging love taps. The grvfter part of the crowd rose to leave, while the demonstrations of disap- proval continued. The men finally stopped sparring, and Choynski_stepped to the front of the stage and said that it was no fault of his or McCoy’s that the bout was stopped by the police. 54 This appeased the better element, and it remained silent. The show ended ina fizzle, and the men sx%pped sparring at the end of ‘the third round. 5 The general ovinion of the disgusted spectators was that boxing was dead in New York City except when carried on under the auspices of the big athletic clubs, and then only in buildings occupied by said clubs. Rty DAKOTA WINS THE CUP. Close of the Coursing Meeting at the St. Lowis Fair Grounds. ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 2L.—Another large crowd greeted the greyhounds at the | fair grounds to-day to witness the finals of the three days’ coursing and the race for the Brentwood cup.

CANNES, Fraxcg, March 21.—The yacht matches to-day from Cannes to Nice were hampered by light winds, The yachts moved so slowly that little interest was taken in the races and many people left the shore, seeing that it was going to be practically a drift to the finish. The rac- ing began at 8 o’clock this morning and lasted until nightfall. The Satanita led at the outset, with the Ailsa second. The yachts got into the doldrums of the Gulf of Juan and lay becalmed there for a long time. Finally a flaw of wind struck the Ailsa and she slowly forged ahead and managea to carry across the finishing line. It wasafter dark when she won. The Satanita is believed to have fin- ished second. The second match was won by Mr. Ogden Goelet's Samphire, with the Ste- phani second and the Dusky Queen third. Ashland Wilkes Sold. WICHITA, Kaxs., March 21.—Ashland Wilkes, the famous son of the great Red Wilkes and sire of John R. Gentry, was sold by H. G. Toler of this city to-day to J. F. Scott of Lexington, Ky., the consid- eration being $10,000. Scott bought John R. Gentry at Buffalo, N. Y., two years ago, and is the man who developed his great speed. The price paid for Ashland Wilkes is only ahout half what Toler was offered before the hard times. Ashland Wilkes hasa record of but has made his mile in 2:16. 7 Y —_— Athletic Teams Depart. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 21.—The teams of the Boston Athletic Association and of the Princeton University, which will represent American athletics at the revival of the Olympic games at Athens on April 5, left New York this morning on the steamer Fulda.

Streams of Gold and Silver Solution Flow Into the River at Natrona. TARENTUM, Pia., March 21.—A de- structive fire broke outat 6 o’clock this evening in the works of the Pennsylvania Salt Man ufactiring Company at Natrona and for a time complete destruction was threatened. The loss is $1,000,000, proba- bly covered by insurance which is placed through the Philadelphia offices of the company. The greatest lossis sustained in the melting of the tanksin which the gold and silver solutions were stored and their escaping into the river. Some idea of this'may be gained when it is said that 100,000 ounees of silver, and : 3,000,000 pounds cf copper were produced monthly. This department consists of a Jarge num- ber of frame buildings, covering an area of three acres and which contained blast fur- naces, smelting furnaces and leag-linea tanks for storing the goid and silver solu- tions. The works possessed fine electrical ap- paratus and chemical appliances and were the finest in the United States. The in- vestment in'this alone amounts to $940,000. Nearly 600 men were employed and it was being run double turn. The flames spread with such rapidity that it was with difficulty that the men es- caped, although only two were slightly in- jured. The officials here are reticent as to the origin of the fire, but it was learned from good authority that a quantity of water was allowed to escape into a furnace which caused an explosion. The depart- ment destroyed was the cause of the law- suits now pending between the farmers in the vicinity of Natrona and the company, the farmers elaiming the fumes destroyed their trees anda crops. The litigation has already cost many thousands of doliars. A CARSON APPEAL WINS. Ormsby County Must Pay Legal Rates for Printing Taz Rolls. CARSON, NEev., March 21.—The suit of the Carson Appeal vs. the Board of Com- missioners of Ormsby County to receive legal rates on printing the tax roll was to- day decided by Judge Mack in favor of the plaintiff. The suit was instituted by the Nevada Press Association to settle the question of a newspaper’s rights to the full rates al- lowed by law for the work. The case was first decided in Judge Hawthorn’s court for the plaintiif and appealed. It is the sixth suit brought by the Nevada Press Association with the "Appeal as plaintiff in the case, and all have T:en won by the association. DRIVEN FROM VIRGINIA CITY, Miners Show Their Hatred of Superinterdent Tan- german, ESCORTED FROM TOWN. He Is Taken From a Barber- Shop With the Lather Still on His Face. FORCED TO WALK TO RENO. Seeks the Protection of United States Officers—Lynch’s Rule Not in Favor. VIRGINIA CITY, NEv., March 21.—H. ‘W. Tangerman, the superintendent ap- pointed by the new management of the Hale & Norcross Mining Company, was violently seized by members of the Virginia City Miners' Union this morning, placed in a bugegy and driven out of the county. He was not released until Dead Man’s Point was reached. Then he was notified that if he did not proceed on his way he would be killed without being granted the privilege of a last prayer, and then released. Early this morning a crowd of miners congregated on the streets and a crowd of several hundred men began a search for Tangerman. The superintendent was finally discovered in a barber-shop getting shaved. He was taken bodily out.of the chair with his face still covered with lather and placed in a bugey amid a cheer that shook the foundations and rattled the glass in the adjoining buildings. The buggy then beaded for Geiger grade, accompanied by hundreds of miners. At the end of C street the large crowd halted and returned to town, while fifty miners in buggies continued with Tangerman to tbe county line, where he was notified to go on and never to return to Virginia. Sheriff James Quirk made a futile ef- fort to stop the demonstration, but the odds against him were too strong. The only man he could find in town to depu- tize was Director McDonald, who finally refused to fight. There was no stemming the tide, and the citizens had things their own way. This trouble has been brewing ever since the control of the 'mine passed to Jeremiah Lynch at the stockholders’ meet- ing held at San Francisco on March 11. The new officers gave an intimation of the policy of economy they intended to pursue by knocking $25 a month off the president’s salary, making it $100; taking the $50 a month salary from the vice-presi- dent; reducing the secretary’s salary from $200 to $125 and combining the positions of superintendent and foreman at $175 a month. These positions formerly paid salaries of $200 and $175 2 month respectively. It was also decided to move the offices of the company into the Stock Exchange buila- ing, which would bring about a saving of $127 a month, making a total saving of $477 a month effected by the recent elec- tion. President Lynch and Superintendent Tangerman arrived at Virginia shortly after the San Francisco meeting and at once were met by the refusal of the Min- ers’ Union to work with Tangerman. The miners had no objection to open the Hale & Norcross, but Tangerman must go. That was the ultimatum. Mr. Lynch stood by his superintendent and this morning the situation remained unchanged until the miners took the law into ¢ heir own hands. There will be more serious trouble if Tangerman ventures to disobey the orders of the men who escorted him out of town. e WALKS TO RENO. Tangerman Appeals to District Attorney Jones for Redress. RENO, NEv., March 21.—Superintendent. Tangerman, who was escorted out of Vir- ginia City by the miners to-day, arrived here shortly before4 o’clock this afternoon. He was taken as far as Dead Man’s Point by the miners and made to alight from the rockaway in which he and his guards were riding, and told to continue on to Reno and never again set foot in virginia City, under penalty of death. Dead Man’s Point is about fifteen miles from here, and Tangerman was compelled to walk most of the way, securing a ride on a hay wagon for a short distance. Im- mediately on his arrival here, he made ap- plication to United States District Attorney Joues for protection, and that offioial later left for Virginia City by private con- veyance, VACATION AT PALO ALTO, Instructors and Students Leave for a Brief Season of Rest. Intercollegiate Debaters Will Spend the Time Searching for Data _ to Defeat Berkeley. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CawL., March 21.—The long-awaited vacation has come, and for the next week students and professors may spend their time without worry over classes or studies. Yesterday the crowd commenced to flow away from the campus and the evacuation has con- tinued all day. Many students will spend their vacations at home, and those who do not are leaving every hour on tramps and excursions. Yet there are some unfortu- nates whom the pressure of unfinished theses or reports forces to spend their vaca- tion delving in the library among musty books and manuscripts. The college jour- nals, the Daily Palo Alto and the Sequois, bave suspended until college reopens, and the editors and staffs will enjoy a‘much- needed rest. One of the most popular resorts is Pacific Grove, to which many have gone, among them Dr. Howard, Professor Powers and family and Professor Show. Professors Anderson and Flugel of the English de- partment will make the trip by bicycle to | Pacific Grove, going over the Balinas mountains. The trip will occupy two days. Dr. Ross of the economics depart- ment and Dr. Kriehn, history, will take a < several days’ tramp, going first to Pesca- dero and ‘then to Santa Cruz. Professor Earle Barnes and Professor Mary Sheldon Barnes will spend their vacution at the university, but may take a trip to the mountains. Dr. Elliot, the registrar, will remam-at the university, engaged in pre- pezing the new registor which will appear in April, S President Jordan, Professor Griges of ethics, Proféssor Jenkins of physiology and Professor Lathrop of English are mak- ing a tour of Southern California at the earnest request of a number of teachers’ institutes which are now in session. Eath has a busy programme laid out, gnvin§ several lectures gaily to the institutes anc lecturesin the evening to popular audi- ences. Los Angeles, Riverside, San Ber- nardino, Santa Ana and San Diego will be visited at different times by each of the professors. The debaters—Messrs, Cathcart 96, Shel- don '96, Ross '97—will spend their vaca- tion in the hardest kind of work on the question for the intercollegiate debate. ‘This is in the form of .an amendment to the constitution vroviding for the election of I}rmbed States Senators by the people. Stanford has the affirmative. ¥ The debaters have already collected quite a large amount of material, and each one wiil specialize on some phase of the ques- tion, although they will individually cover tbe whole ground. They will spend a greater part of the vacation in tbe San ‘rancisco libraries, and expect to derive great henefit thereby. rofessor Ross stated that, individnn{ly. he favored the popular election of the Senators very em- phatically, and believed that our men had chosen the stronger side of the question. Professor Ross stated that the evil of the present system was the mixing of National and State politics, whereby Staté issues were neglected, to the harm of the com- monweaith. The recent Kentucky dead- lock was an object-lesson which, no doubt, the debaters would take advantage of. He stated that the question was a live one, and would require. careful research through many files of papers and periodicals. Baseball practice continues in spite of the vacation. Young ’97, the Varsity first baseman, is with the glee and mandolin clubs on their southern trip. Wight '98 was hurt while making a plucky slide in the Santa Clara game and isat present using crutches. A compilation of batting averages bas been made. The Varsity layers rank as follows: Taylor .400, ight .393, Thompson .386, Harris .375, Sharp .333,Stansberry 304, Jeifs .285, Free- man .250, James .235, Young .217, McLaine (captain).211. The team is rapidly improv- ing and a return game will be played with Ssma Clara College on their campus Thurs- ay. SONORR JAL - TRAGEDY, Rancher Randall’s Body Found Suspended* From a Bar in His Cell. Grief Over the Killing of His Son While Insane Drives Him to Suicide. STOCKTON, Car., March 21.—Rhodes B. Randall, the aged Sonora stockman who yesterday shot his son, Hazard Ran- dall, in cold blood, will never face the bar of earthly justice, nor will he be examined as to his sanity. At 7o’clock this morning the cell in which Randall was confined at Sonora was opened by the jailer in order that the prisoner might be given his breakfast. Randall was found hanging from the bar in the window, dead. He had passed his blanket around the bar and then tied it around his throat. Then his weight was thrown upon it, and he was strangled to death. The old man left no word for his family and had evidently become sane enough to realize the enormity of his crime and that the shadow of the gallows hovered over him, Randall shot his son yesterday morning on his ranch, about four miles from La Grange. The circumstances of the killing indicate that the old man was insane. He had for some time exhibited symptoms of insanity and had been under the surveil- lance of the members of his family. Yes- terday morning he took down his rifle and asked Hazard if he could go out hunting. The young man advised him not to go, whereuvon Randall aimed his gun at his son and pulled the trigger. The bullet passed through the breast and out at the back. Randall next turned his rifle on his wife, but before he had time to fire John, his elder son, disarmed him, not, however, without first having a desperate struggle with the madman. He was bound with ropes and brought to Sonora by Constable Rouguet, who lodged him in the County Jail on a charge of murder. Hazard Ran- dall survived his wounds only five hours. HiEH U ON THE BEACH The Stranded Ship Glenmorag Cast Beyond the Low-Tide Line. Tugs Are Unable to Approach Within a Half Mile of the Wreck. ASTORIA, Or., March 21.—The wrecked ship Glenmorag to-day stands highup on the beach at low tide and it is possible to walk around it. Several tugs tried to place lines on the vessel but it was too far in for them to get within a half mile. The Glenmorag is not much damaged and is taking no water. All of the stores and other movables were removed to the shore, where & portion of the crew is on watch day and night with an officer in charge. A surveyor will inspect. the ship to-mor- row and recommend wnat is to be done. It probably will be sold, as it is not pos- sible to get it off, although the ship may remain in its present condition for months. During the summer it may be repaired asa summer hotel, as it is in the heart of a sea- side summer resort. There is now no doubt that Captain Cur- rie did not know. where he was and ‘was not uging the lead. He did not believe he was within miles of land until the Glen- morag struck, The sliip ran. in a fog for three days. All the injured men on the Glenmorag will live, but several are badly bruised. “Excursions from all directions within 100 miles will visit the scene to- mOrrow. e Hor, Stolen at Merced MERCED, CarL., March 21.—Thieves en- tered the premises of 8. Shockley, at the upper end of Front street, last night and stole two of the best horses in his barn, The culprits were seen with the animals to-day about twelve miles out of town, heading southward. Sheriff Warfield has warrants out for the thieves, and their freedom will probably be of shortduration., oo Vo iael Bunkoed a Nevada Lawyer.

BITTER TOWARD LOVREN T G They Declare the Saloon-Keeper Planned the Attempted Robbery. STORY TOLD BY AN INEBRIATE. Boasts While Intoxicated That the Accused Men Made Him Their 2 Confidant. VISALIA, Carn., March 21.—The funeral of Dan McCall took place from Locey’s undertaking parlars at 10 o’clock this morning. The dead outlaw’s two brothers, Frank and James McCall, who arrived here from Santa Cruz last evening, were the sole mourners. Joe Arana, an old acquaintance of the family, rode with the brothers out of respect to their feelings. The interment took place in the city cemetery. / The two brothers are bitter in their de- nunciations of Sy Lovren and Ardell, and declare that Dan McCall was led into the attempt to rob the Soathern Pacific over- land by these men and used as a tool by them. The last time Dan visited them at Santa Cruz he told his relatives of two fast friends he had here. The description of these ‘‘friends’ and their place of business tallies exactly with the Lovren saloon and the two men who presided over it. Sheriff Merritt, his men and Special Offi- cer Jim Meade of the Southern Pacific are working day and night securing evidence against Sy Lovren and his partner, Charles Ardell. After Ardell closed the saloon Wednesday night he visited the places that were open with friends. They were at the Visalia House bar when a boy opened the door and shouted that a train had been held up and Earl Daggett shot. Ardell said, “Let us go to the Palace and get facts.” This they did, and some time after one of the party, a piano-player at Lovren’s saloon, returned and reported that the boy spoke truly. Ardell, instead of waiting for the train to arrive with the body of McCall, went to a notorious resort and was found there by the officers. Ardell’s friends overdid themselves in trying to fix up an alibi for him. The evi- dence against Sy Lovren seems concln- sive. The red cheesecloth he bought for the lantern will be the strongest evidence to hang him. The officers have another frequenter of the deadfall under surveillance. The morning after the robbery he said: *I just missed getting in that hoid-up. Sy knew I was game and would stay.”” He boasted that he knew enough to hang the whole outfit. The fellow isa good workman, but at present is on a spree. On being ques- tioned closely he denied ever having made such remarks, but the fact is he did make them. No arrests have been made to-day. Sev- eral frequenters, or rather hangers-on, at Lovren's have been run down and made to explain their absence and doings during the past week. Two of the principal ones, George Henshaw and Fritz Stumpf, left here a few days ago in a buggy with three guns. Ou returning last night they ex- plained that they had visited the Burris ranch, about six miles from- Traver, to hunt coons. They did not hear of the.hold-up until Friday eveniug. After treeing and cap- turing a coon they came to town and were informed that the officers were logking for them. They in turn found the officers and after announcing their wnereabouts were not arrested. Frank Davenport, a young man who works but visits Lovren & Ardell’s place, was invited to the Sheriff’s office this morning and explained his ride of last Sunday morning to Goshen in company with Dan McCall. “About 8 o’clock last Sunday morning Dan McCall drove by our place with a horse and cart,” said Davenport. “On seeing me he stopped and started to talk about going over to Alma Hall's about a horse trade he had in view. I asked him if he was going to town and he answered ‘yes.! T asked him to wait until I changed my clothes. We then drove to Hall’s, but he did ‘not stop there. I asked him why and he turned it off with the remark, ‘Sunday is an unlucky day; some other day will do; I would rather go to church.” Just as we were passing the Kaweah Flour Miil his horse stumbled and MecCall flew into .a passion. He said to me, ‘I will give him a good, long drive; don’t you want to come? Having nothing else to do I accepted. *“We drove through the main street of Visalia and -out the Linwood lane. On nearing the Southeérn Pacific track: instead of turning around for Visalia he drove on, turning north toward Goshen. I wanted to know why, and he said, ‘That’s all right; we have plenty of time.” When we reached Mill Creek crossing (near the scene of the sttempted hold-up Wednesday night) he got out and walked ashort distance towara 8 big oak tree. When I loooked around later he was not in sight. I called, but there was no answer. Some minutes after- ward I called again, waited and called the third time. It was almost a half-hour be- fore he showed up. Itold him [ wasafraid a train wouid come along and frighten the horse. He said nothing, but now I re- member that he was in a deep study. We drove on to Visalia via Goshen. “I have & gold watch and chain and a ring worth about, $80 belonging to Dan McCall. They are in pawn to me. I will deliver them to the Coroner.” Davenport wasnotarrested. Everything is quiet, and there is no talk of lynching. Ri B ST "McCall’s Career in Santa Crus. SANTA CRUZ, Can., March 21.—The rumor that Dan McCall had killed his man in this county seems to have been based upon a flimsy foundation. McCall some years ago saved his mother from abuse by his stepfather, and the old man died shortly after the altercation, but the blame was attached to Dan. The McCall boys in Santa Cruz have always borne good reputations. The mother is pros- trated with grief over thedeath of her boy. o Santa Barbara Attachment.

Story of a Hold-Up Believed to Have Been Invented to Excite Sympathy. SAN JOSE, Can, March 21.—W. B. Bem, who formerly conducted a saloon near the racetrack, was brought back from Santa Cruz this evenfng by Constable Haley to answer to a charge of passing a worthless check on the Schemel & Brown Music Company of this city. Bem pur- ehased a piano from the firm on March 10, and gave a check for $25 on the First National Bank as the first payment and asked that the check be mnot - presented until March 15. The check was presented ‘to the bank on the 19th, but returned with the information that there was no funds to Bem’s credit, Brown began an investigation and found that Bem had disposed of the piano shortly after its purchase. He also dis- posed of his saloon and left for Santa Cruz. Last night Bem reported to the police of that place that he had been robbed of $220 by two footpads. No cred- ence is placed in the story of the robbery, and it is thought that it was designed only to excite sympathy among numorous cred- itors he leit in this city. ol pgp e CLAIMS SHE WAS ABUSED. Hester A. Robbins Brings Suwit for* an Absolute Divorce. SAN JOSE, Cavn., March 21.—Hester A. Robbins to-day began suit against Thomas F. Robbins for divorce on the grounds of cruelty and failure to provide. They were married in Lake County in 1869, and have six children, ranging in age from 4 to 23 years. Mrs. Robbins charges her husband with using indecent language toward her on numerous occasions, and once, in 1888, he compelled her to remain awake all night under penalty of death. On February 21, 1896, he accused her of being too intimate with John Doe Toney, and in other ways has make her life miserable. For the past year Robbins has lived apart from his wife and has not contributed to her support. There 1s no community property.
