RIOTING FRISCO Street Car Oaros Scene ot Bloody Shooting Ailray. TWO VERSIONS ARE GIYEN OUT Union Men Decked by Police Are On One Side and Company On Opposite Side. San Francisco, Sept. 13. On Mon day night a desperate encounter oc curred between, on the ono sldo, men employed by tho United Hallways nnd on the other strlklngcnrmen nnd police. FIvo men were shot, two fatally, ono of tho latter being the victim of a ahot fired by a policeman. Two accounts of the aflray have been furnished, which are directly oppoed to each other in fixing the blame for the rlctlng. One account la that given by the policemen concerned In the fus illade that was poured Into tho bond of employee of the company, and tho oth er It that of tho railway officials who investigated Uie matter, a they claim, in as thorough manner as possible The bloody battle started ahortly after midnight near tho United Rail road car barn at Twenty-fourth and Utah streets, and, accutding totho itatcmont of the police, was the reault of a plot that has been brewing among Calhoun's nonunion employe for a couplo ct weeks. It was the plan of tbe nonunion men to drlvo out Uie nnlon pickets w-o have taken up quar ter near the carbarn and havo been housed in tents there elnco tho begin ning of tho strike. Just at the stroke of midnight a United Railroads repair car was run out of the carbarn. It was manned by a wore of armed strikebreakers, and as it speeded noiselessly along the tracks in tbe direction of the nnlon pickets all lights were extinguished. When near ly opposite the tents tho first shots were fired, strikebreakers say, by the union plckots, tho pickets declare by the armed men on the cars. Tbe version of tbe affair given ont by the United Railroads people dltfocrs materially from the story of tho police, and is in part as follows: "The story o! a plot is ridiculous. That repair car was first started out from the carbarn fcr the purpose of making some necessary repairs to tracks and wires Injured during the day's run. Tbe men on that car when it first went out were tbe regular repair gang. There were no gun fighters and not one of the men was armed. When they passed the tents of nnlon pickets rocks were thrown, breaking every window, and then shooting commenced from tho tents. "The men in the repair car rushed back to the barn for reinforcementsand a trailer loaded with armed men went out to follow and protect the repair crow on Its second trip. Flro was opened again when the two cars went speeding past tbe union picket tents and our men returned the fire." 8ENATOR BORAH ARRAIGNED Indicted for Conspiracy to Defraud Government of Land.

Frank Mar tin, ox-attorney general of Idaho, faint ly indicted with Mr. Borah, was also arraigned, but his attorneys asked three days In which to filoplea In abatement, motion lo quash tho indictment or to demur. It Is said that the attorneys for Mr. Martin will attack the conduct of United States Attoreny Sulck before the Federal grand Jury, which returned tho indictment against their client, but It Is the opinion thoy will havo a hard time of it showing that Mr. Itulck did not properly conduct himself in his efforts to bring Idaho land frauders to justico.

The Chronicle commenting upon tho furious rioting In tho Mission district, when five nonunion car operatives In the employ of the United Railroads were shot by union pickets and police men, charges flatly that the pollco am bushed the nonunion men and fought against them aido by side with their union tormentors. Tho Chronicle points out that tho patrolmen Wade, Mgolow and Miller who shot down tho carmen, were appointed to the po lice force from tho teamsters' nnd car men's unions soon alter the commence ment of the streetcar strike, when a Union tabor pollco commission nnd a crooked chief ot pollco were In control.
