Nine so far Wounded Crowd Re
plies to Bullets With Bullets
Situation Locks Ugly.
INDIANAPOLIS, Intl., Dec. .'.
Four men were shot todny hero n
riots growing out of the teamsters'
strike.
Two of tho wounded probably will
die.
Up to todny five men had been
hit by bullets since tho strike began.
Two of them died. Of the five, four
were striking teamsters, the fifth n
casual bystnnder.
Today, however, the strikers secur
ed in nn nngrier mood nil four of tho
victims of the day's shootings being
uonunionistfi.
Story of Shooting
The first frnens followed nn at
tempt by three stnkebrcnkcrs to
drive n wngon pnst a crowd of strike
sympathizers. First the crowd tried
to persundc them to quit, then jeered
them, then threw stones, nnd when
tho strikebreakers nnswered with
bullets returned the fire nnd brought
down two of the nonunionists.
The second shooting occurred
when nn automobile whizzed up to n
nonunion ice wngon in the street and
several men. rising in their scats,
shot down the two negro strikebreak
ers in chnrge, then sped away nnd
escaped without being identified.
Of the two men whose wounds
nrobnbly will prove fatal, one wns on
the first and the other on the second
of these wagons.
Uotli Rides Are Firm
The situation looked very "gly.
Tho employers were prepared from
the first for n hnnl fight. They hnd
made their preparations thoroughly
nnd their management of the strik
ing campaign has been exceedingly
resoluto nnd not very gentle.
Then men nn tho other hand ap
peared to lose their tempers when
they voted yesterday nfternoon
against compromise. With both sides
in this mood the prospects seemed
good for serious trouble. Pence
mnkers were still trying to bring the
warring elements together but with
small signs of success.

A thief without the fear of the law
or the Lord in his heart has entered
the vestibule, of tho ltaptist church
this week during the progress of re
vival meetings and sto!? three over
coats, ono raincoat nnd n pair of
dogskin gloves. E. J. Stewart owned
the raincoat and II. N. Allnndcr tho
dogskin gloves. The overcoats wero
taken last night. It has been sug
gested that nn early sermon text bo

n thief entered tho tabernacle with
the multitude."
The prowler in the temple secured
his "wng' nfter tho exhortation be
gan mid tho ushers hud settled down
to hear the sermon. At first i) was
thought the overcoats were taken by
mistake. This idea bus been aban
doned nnd there is a decided tend
ency to wear coats hi tho pews.
Tho police have been notified of '
the depredations. They beliovo tho
best way lo catch the crook is to
trap him in the senium room, con
