A RIOT AT FORT WILLIAIN
Six Officers and Four Civilians Shot
in the Fight.
A despatch from Fort «'illiarn,
Ont., says: Niiio men were wouud-
est on Thursday- morning in a fight
between C.P.R. special cunstah.e,
and a number of striking truckers.
It wall shortly before mem that the
of trouble which precipitated tho big-
gest riot ever seen in Fort William
started, and it, carte like an ex-
plosion of a barrel of gunpowder
te. a quiet street..A posse of C.P.R.
police which had been brought dewu
from Winnipeg, was marched from
the sheds to the boarding-house, in
the vicinity. Their progress was
accompanied by beets and yells and
demonstrations from the large
crowd of Strikers. While the police
were eating their diner the strik-
ers upparently determined that they
would not be allowed to !.'avo the
boarding-house. Constable Ball
was the first one to make his ap
pearaneo in the doorway, and he
was immediately accosted by a cou-
ple of burly strikers and told ho
would have to remain iudoors, as
well as his men. According to eye
witnesses, the constable drew his
baton and attempted to bit the
striker. Quick as a flash the latter
had drawn a revolver and seat a
Indict into the chief's abcltnnon.
A F'IElf CE BATTLE.
Then the battle was on. Rifles
and revolvers were brought into
play in every direction, shooting
from the corners of houses and
frons behind ears, the fusilaulo of
the men directed at the police last-
ed fully fifteen minutes- The strik-
ers massed, and drove the C.P.R.
men back into the bunk -house.
They fired through the windows,
and were preparing to storm the
house v.hen Chief Dodds, backed
by Sorge. Taylor and the constables
of tire city force, prevailed on the
strikers to stay away from the
house. All the windows in the
bunk -house and all of the C.P.R.
ard buildings were smashed by
bullets.
KEPT UP DIRE.
The strikers, in response to Chief
Dodds, slowly retreated back to
bleTayish Street, but further they
refused to budge, and they kept
up for intermittent fire under the
very eyes of the police ollici,ds.
They loaded and fired regardless
of the fact that they were ordered
repeatedly in the nnu:e of the Bing
to disperse to their horses.
Tho battle lasted( at least fifteen
tuiuutes, and in the meantime word
of the situation was resei (•d by
Mayor Pelletier, hind he ininiedi-
atety deckled to call out the mili-
tia. Later the Mayor pierces -god
to the docks and read the Riot Not.
TN() hundred militiamen of the
9;;t1 Regiment quickly assembled in
both cities, and long before dark
were on the scene and complete
wasters of the situation.
The strikers, after their show of
strength again ' the police earlier
is the day, are now sawed and sub-
missive.
THE INJURED.
None of the victims aro injured
so seriously that death is likely to
result, the only one for whom there
aro any fears is Constable Ball. A
report- from the hospital late on
Thursday night is that he is doing
well and unless complications sot
in will recover. Jonstablo Car-
penter, of the O.P.R. police, has
a wound in the knee which may
cripple hire, but is not dangerous
te. life.
The list :as far as can be ascer-
tained now is:- Sorgt. Taylor, of
city police, slight; C. M. Dicken-
son, of Times Journal, slight ; Chief
Constable Ball, C.P•R. police, seri-
ously wounded in abdomen; Con-
stable Carpenter, C.P.R. constable,
knee badly smashed; Two other
e. nstables slightly wounded. Two
strikers, ()reeks, names unknown.
John Lake, butcher at coal ducks.
pullet grazed forehead, only slight-
ly wouieled.
The appearance of Cs, militia
tits the scene had a salutary effect
on the mob and they scattered so
quickly that it was not even neces-
sary for the militiamen to load
their rifles, although each roan had
been served with several rounds of
ball cartridges.

A despatch from Winnipeg says:
Louis and Samuel Fontaine violat-

They had a system which was most
filthy and revolting. Rotten but-
ter, which is usually disposed by
wholesalers for axle grease, was
purchased in large quantities and
boiled down with tallow fats and
laid and other refuse from the ab-

the stores as new dairy butter.
They were each fined two hundred
