Pittsburg, July 14. A pitched gun battle, in which fifty were wounded, two seriously, one fatally, andChief of Police Farrell, of Stowe township received a dangerous wound from a knife was fought outside the plant of the Pressed' Steel Car Works this afternoon, when, a squad of policemen numbering forty, attempted to escort strike breaker workmen through a mob of thousands of men and women. Strikers and sympathizers had assembled at the gates of the plant about noon, waiting for five hundred workmen in the , wooden department, who refused to join the strike, to come out for lunch. Officials of the car department phoned' for police protection. Entered Rear of Plant. Chief Farrell and forty men entered the rear of the plant and endeavored to get the employes out in safety. Reaching the front gates they were met with a storm of bricks, stones and clubs. The policemen fired into the crowd which precipitated a genen al riot. As the strikers closed in on the rear apd; began ; attacking workmen from both 'sides,, the terrified workmen broke and ran for their lives. The police rcw revolvers and closed in with the mob. A policeman flred. into: the crowd, his shot striking a man in' the stomach, inflicting probably a fatal wound. ' An instant later he was disarmed by a powerful Slav, who turned

the revolver on the policeman. Other strikers drow revolvers and a fusillade of , shots w,ere exchanged. Women Knocked Down. The strikers who had no guns drew knives. Chief Farre-1 was slashed in a score of places. Stones new so thick that many strikers' heads were split open by their own friends. Women were knocked down end trampled on. The police fled for their lives and telephoned the city police for reinforcements. The entire town is in possession of the mob. Business losses will run into the tboucands, as the result of stores, banks and other establishments being broken into and wrecked by thev6trikers, who are apparently drunk with the desire to break something.

CORN TAKES A JUMP

Chicago, July , 14 There was wild excitement on the board of trade this morning when reports from the southwest said the excessive wet weather was causing rust and other crop damages. July delivery wheat contracts jumped five cents a bushel, making a new high record price for this crop.

(By H. M. Walker.) Los Angeles, Cal.. July 14. Ad Wolgast, the little Milwaukee featherweight, triumphed over Battling Nelson in their ten round no decision contest here and it is only because of the law here which prevents a verdict that the Durable Dane still possesses his title of lightweight champion of the world. Wolgast gave Nelson as complete and decisive a beating as any man would want, and the critics and fans who watched the battle from outside the ring were unanimous in their declaration that Ad won by a big shade. Nelson did not have a round in his favor. He was badly beaten, his face and lips being swollen and the blood streaming from his nose and mouth at the end of the fight. He was well marked from the effects of the encounter. He Fought Fiercely. The Milwaukee fighter showed no fear for the Hegeswisch lad and waded into him, swinging each time as though he were going to win the battle, and on several occasions he. had Nelson reeling from the force of his blows. For eight rounds Wolgast had a commanding lead, the other two being even. Though it is believed Nelson could defeat Wolgast sure in a long go, Ad is his master over the short route. The battle was a beautiful one to witness, Wolgast meeting the Dane at the latter's favorite emthod of slugging and fought the champion to a standstill. Nelson was a smear of blood and his lips were puffed, while Wolgast did not have a mark to testify that he had Just undergone thirty minutes of the hardest kind of fighting. The Wolgast decision was unanimous. Although he was whipped fairly by Wolgast in the short go, there is no reason to believe th?.t the Milwaukee mauler stands more thp.n a fighting chance of conquering Nelson in a finish battle. Not a single knockdown featured the battle.

EVELYN IS AGAIII OH STAND TODAY Effort Will Be Made to Have . Court Accept the Woman's Testimony. FIGHTS THAW'S RELEASE

FORMER MODEL SAID TO HAVE BEEN THREATENED WITH DEATH BY HER HUSBAND WHEN HE GETS FREEDOM.

New York, July 14. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw took the etand again today as a state's witness against her husband, Harry K. Thaw, in the insanity inquiry proceedings now in progress before Justice Mills in White Plains. Although the law kept her from expressing her opinion as to the mental state of Thaw when called to testify yesterday, because of the confidential relations presumed to exist between man and wife, debarring either from testifying against the other unless In a matter of personal grievance, an effort will be made today to show that she believes her life will be in danger if Thaw is set free, and that he threatened to kill her. Hope to Convince Mills. The people's representatives, Deputy Attorney General Clarke and District Attorneys Winslow of Westchester and Mack of Dutchess county, hope to convince Justice Mills by a citation of authorities that Evelyn Thaw can relate the circumstances which lead her to believe it would be dangerous for her if Thaw were liberated. Should Justice Mills change his opinion on this subject it is safe to say that Evelyn Thaw will be subjected to a severe cross examination, when her mode of life since Thaw was imprisoned three years ago this month will be delved into. During these three years, it is said, the former artists' model has been watched by detectives constantly. Every move she has made in the gay days and nights she has led along Broadway has been noted. The names of men with whom she has dined and wined have been recorded, and under cross-examination she must tell all if she tells a part.
