San Francieoo, May 14. Today
one week after the Turk Btreet bat
tle, which marked the present cr
strike as the bloodiest labor dis
turbance in the history of San Fran
o'sco, was the worst day of violence
since that tragic event. The fore
noon passed with but little disturb
ance, but throughout the hours ' of
the afternoon from .12 to 7 o'clock,
stones flew on Mission street from
Fifth to Twenty-fourth, a distance
of about three miles, and the lives
of nuny passengers es well as those
of the ncn-union operatives of the
ten cars on that line were almost
CJDeian ly in danger. Though
nearly 100 policemen, a few of them
mounted, were stationed along Mis
sion street under the commands of
Captains Anderson and Duke, vio
lence was not prevented and com
paratively few arreBts were made.
In some instances passengers nar
rowly escaped great injury or death
from flying cobblestones and brick
bats.' Several passengers were as
saulted by the crowd, numerous
strike breakers were Btruck, panes
of glass were smashed and. persons
alighting from cars were chased and
la Borne instances knocked down
and beaten.
The!moet brutal act of violence
during the day occurred shortly af
ter 7 o'clock tonight, as the last bat
on the MiBsion street line was being
ran into the barn at Twenty-ninth
street. A passenger bn3bis car
was Edward Raipber, a member of
the Stationary Engineers' : Union
tmplojed by the California Engin
eering works. As be alighted from
the car, be was set upon by acrowa
of union sympathizers and- beaten
almost to death. - His skull was
fractured, his right -arm and sever
al ribs broken. v He was left uncon
scious on the pavement. Employ
es of the United Railroads : carried
the senseless and bleeding man into
the carbarn. '
The police say that the mob then
attempted to break down the car
barn doors in an effort to get at the
man again. The mob was broken
up by the police after clubs had
been used freely.' 2o arrests were
made, so far as has been learned.
Raipber Was sent to the hospital.
His condition is serious.
At the carbarns on Mission street
at Twenty fourth after the last cars
bad been run in, the motormen and
conductors, who have not been al
low ei to carry arms since the Turk
street nit of a week ago,, presented
their case to ' Assistant President
Mullaly. In substance they said:
"we nave snown teat we are as
nervy as the average man. . We are
not atram to ran your cars any
where m tne city that you send ns.
We have faced bricks and stODes
and personal assaults for eeven
dais. Now we have about reached
the limit. We are taking our lives
in our own hands every time we go
out on these care. The police are
either unable or unwilling to pro
tectus. we will, tase tne cars
through auy mob that Sin FrancU
co can gather, if you allow us to
protect ourselves. But some of us
nave made up our minds as a re
sult of today's experiences that we
will take out no more cars until
you give us revolvers."
The striking carmen made a new
move today in causing over loo
Jjhn Doe warrants to be issued lor
strikebreakers on the charge- of vi
olation of an ordinance which makes
it a misdemeanor for a motorman
or conductor to operate a car before
having bad seven days experience
The situation, according to Presi
dent Cornelius of the Carmen's Un
ion, is very satlsotory. He said
"We have instructed our men to
aid the police in keeping peace and
order, but the police era taking an
unfair advantage of our men and
using unnecessary violence on our
pickets. They are not even giving
them the rights that every citizen
is entitled to. Our pickets are not
violating the Jaw, but Mr. Calhoun
is. tie is now placing on bis cars
men who have bad co experience
in ban P rancieco. This is in di
rect violation of the city ordinance
Pendleton, Or., May I3. Clar
ence McBroom, a well-known young
rancher of this county, was shot
and Instantly - killed by , George
Horseman, a neighboring rancher,
at Gourdane echoolhouee, about 45
miles of ; this city, at 11:30 , this
morning.. The killing followed a
fist fight which was the result of a
quarrel of several months standing.
Prom the best reports that can
be obtained Horseman bad received
decidedly the worst of the fistic en
c'ttater and. bad gone to wash his
face. The .two men were still swear
ing at each other, however, Mc
Broom being 10 or 12 feet away,
when Horseman pulled gun from
his pocket and fired. The bullet
entered the face juet below the right
eye, causing almost instant death.
Horsen ai lmrrenaitly started
for Pendleton to give himself stop
ping cn the way long enough to tel
ephone to Sheriff Taylor that he
was coming. 1 be sherm then start
ed to meet him, which he did
about half way and the two arrived
in Pendleton about 9:30 this eve
ning. Though Horseman now re
fuses to talk, he told the' sheriff on
the way ;. in , that McBroom had
jumped onto him and, beat him apd
was comma at him again when be
shot. He is badly broken up overthe
affair and his face, which is cut and
scratched,' with the eyes ted from
weening,, presents a haggard ap
pearance. 1
, The traced v occurred at the close
of a meeting oi cattlemen, and there
were 10 or I2 witnesses to the shoot-
This is the third fatal . shooting
affray that has taken place in Um
atilla conn' y within the. past eight
months. Owioe to the remoteness
of the region in which the killing
took place, it has been almost 1m
possible to set accurate information
concerning the details.
