SLAIN IN A RIOT.

Result of a Bitter Religious War In Kansas City. Catholics and Member* of tbe Americas Protective Association Fight at the Polls-Two Men Killed and Several Others Wounded. BLOOD IS SHED. Kansas City, Mo., April s.—The bitter animosities that have existed here between the American Protective association and the Catholics culminated Tuesday in a pitched battle in w hich two men were killed, two fatally ini jured and two others wounded, as folj lows: Killed—Con Brosnahan, shot through the : kidneys. Michael Callahan, shot through right j side. Fatally injured—Perry Fowler, shot through j the back; Jerry Pate, shot in the face, j Seriously wounded—Patrick Fleming, shot ' in the left shoulder; John McGovern, shat | through right arm It cannot be definitely said which is responsible for the unfortunate affair, as the partisans of each loudly charged the other with being the full cause of all the trouble. More than 100 shots were exchanged between the combatants in less than that many seconds, and when the firing ceased the men named were lying dead, dying or injured on the pavement. I The two antagonistic elments were solidly divided in their choice of candidates for mayor. The strong and aggresive support that each side gave to its candidate during one of the hottest campaigns ever known in this city engendered a strong sentiment of bigotry. It was, therefore, in no amiable mood that the workers of the respective factions came together at the different polling places throughout the city, and that these workers came expecting trouble to occur before the day was over was apparent from the number of deadly weapons that were drawn when the first pistol shot was fired.

This riot took place on the Southwest boulevard in the Fifth ward, close to police station No. 3, and those who took part in it had been heated to the fighting temper by reports that had been hourly arriving at the station of brawls at other polling places. Only one hour before it was known that John Gooley, a stonemason, was shot in the back and forehead by William Henry Walker at a voting place at the corner of Fifth and Campbell streets and that the row was directly due to a fiery debate between the men regarding the principles of the American Protective association to which Gooley was violently opposed. It is claimed that Michael Callahan fired the first shot He was a member of a gang of men working under the lead of James Prior, a politician antagonistic to the A. P. A., and in support of Frank Johnson, the labor and independent democratic candidate for mayor. Callahan was killed.

Then the battle began. The deputy j constables at the polling booth and the | workers of all the political factions j crowded together in a solid mass anout ! 100 strong, and every one of them j seemed to be armed. For a minute or two the discharge of weapons sounded ! like a discharge of musketry by a regi- ! merit. Hundreds of citizens gathered ! at every point of vantage to witness j the battle, which, however, was of short duration. I In less than five minutes from the ! time the first shot was fired the police from station No. 3 appeared upon the scene and quieted the disturbance. With their approach the fighting political workers eeased hostilities and made a quick effort to hide their weapons. While the riot was in progress it is said that members of the American Protective association telephoned to Armourdale and Argentine, strongholds, of that order, for 1,000 men, and that the assurance was given that the men would shortly be on the way. Members of the A. P. A. in this city and Armourdale deny the truth of this story. Pryor's men are claiming that Callahan was an innocent victim. They assert that it was Jerry N. Pate, an A. P. A. man, who first shot, and that was the shot that killed Callahan. Pate was serving as a constable, having been ; appointed especially by a Westport ofj ficial to serve a warrant for the arrest of Jim Pryor, John Pryor, his son, and ! Bert Pryor for an alleged felonious as- | sault upon a citizen earlier in the day. | He and Callahan met, had words, and either one or the other fired the shot i that brought on the conflict.

ON THE WARPATH.

Several Killed in Hattie vrith Indians in Oklahoma. El Reno, O. T., April s.—Further advices from the scene of the encounter between the band of Vlepredating Cheyenne Indians and some cowboys who were herding cattle were brought here Tuesday by a courier who came for military assistance. He reported that when he left the fight was yet in progress and that then some eight or ten of the Indians and half that many white men had been killed or wounded. The settlers were hastening to the aid of the fighting cowboys and had surrounded the band of Indians and were slowly and surely picking them off. Two troops of cavalry left the fort for the scene of action, but as the distance is about 7 miles they will not likely arrive before the battle is over.

UNDER ESCORT.

Toilers Wclcom. Cox.y’s Array to Allegheny, Pa. Pittsburgh, Pa., April s.—Coxey’s army reached here Tuesday afternoon. It was met by 1,000 men of the Iron Workers’, Cornice Workers’ and Bakers’ unions, who escorted it into town. All of the other receptions pale into insignificance beside this one. So great was the crush that it was only by sending Jesse Coxey and his plunging stallion on ahead that the army was able to force a passage. The police could do nothing. Every officer in Pittsburgh, from Chief O’Mara down, was on duty Tuesday, but they were swept away and lost in the crush When the camping ground at the Allegheny ball park was reached the crowd of sight Seers began to swarm into the inclosure and the actual army was being lost sight of in the crowd. By main force Police Captain Murphy managed to shut the gate upon onehalf of the commonweal, then snatching a club from one of his men he rallied his demoralized force and led a charge. After ten minutes «"»ce was cleared to allow the rest of tr- u nny to pass in. No sooner had th last man entered than the crowd made another rush and shut out the commissary wagons. It took thirty minutes to get the last army vehicle inside the gates. The march from Sewickley to Allegheny was a good deal longer than the army schedule: It was put down for 11 miles, but the route taken made it over 10. All the way from Sewickley the streets were lined with crowds. Every schoolhouse on the route was flying its flag. As a rule the scholars lined the sidewalk and cheered the army. Many of the houses were decorated. The friendly feeling existing towards the army was shown by continual gifts of provisions. As a rule these were in small amounts, but they helped out a good deal at lunch time. The army is steadily growing in size. None of those big crowds of recruits have materialized, but from seventyeight men a week ago the commonweal has swelled to nearly 500. St. Louis, April s. —Gen. Frye’s army of unemployed workmen arrived at Jefferson barracks from Poplar Bluff at 7 o’clock Tuesday morning and is now camped at the railroad yards at Ivory station. The army presented a picturesque sight as the train pulled into the Jefferson barracks station. The commonwealers were all out on the tops of the box cars, many of them dressed in blankets to ward off the cold, for which they were unprepared. There, were eighteen cars on the train, some of them loaded with cattle. Over the car in which was Gen. Frye’s headquarters was floated the American flag. Old glory was saluted by a company of U nited States regulars as the train came to a stand before the barracks platform. These regulars had orders to prevent Frye’s men from getting off their train and their orders were carried out. There were 600 men in Frye’s army and they appeared to be well disciplined and respectable. The train was sidetracked under direction of Police Captain Boyd, who was present with a squad of twenty men. The army expects to remain here two days, when it will go to Cincinnati

TILLMAN WILL RULE.

South Carolina’s Governor Takes Command of All City Police Forces. Columbia, S. C., April s.—The great feature of Tuesday was Gov. Tillman’s public address to the assembled troops and many citizens from the portico of the state capitoL The chief executive of the state talked in a strong, clear voice, intending that what he said should go out to the whole country as his side of the condition of affairs which exists in this state. He made the announcement that his next move would be to assume control of the police of the various towns. This caused a stir when it was spread on the street Then the soldiers, who had been quartered in Columbia for the last few days, were mustered out of service and sent home.

Later in the day Gov. Tillman, in accordance with his announcement, issued bis proclamation taking absolute control of the police forces of the towns in the state. He orders the police and marshals to enforce all the laws on the statute books, together with all municipal ordinances and orders from municipal authorities not inconsistent with the purposes of the proclamation. As soon as the present emergency shall no longer exist he will relinquish control and restore the former status. Excitement is at fever heat over the action of the governor, and dispatches from all the large towns in the state say that any effort to interfere with local control of the police powers will meet with resistance. Florence, S. C., April s.—The telegraph office at Darlington is in the hands of the military, who refuse to permit the transmission of messages to newspapers. Washington, April 5. —Mr. Grosvenor (dem., O.) introduced in the house a resolution calling for an investigation of Gov. Tillman’s action in seizing railway property and telegraph lines engaged in inter-state commerce, and with armed force and violence establishing a censorship of the daily and weekly press of the country, and prohibiting the transmission of news dispatches to the newspapers. Mr. Grosvenor said this was the first time in the history of the government such a censorship of press dispatches had been established.
