Tr-IU of Shooting.
"About eizht oclock Monday night I
was walking behind my wife who was
going over to a neighbor's house
through a vacant lot across from my
home "When I was about 75 feet from
the street car I heard some shooting
and I turned and saw the motorman
firing at me. I believed that he used
'.an automatic pistol. I felt the bullet

themselves peacefully and lawful. On
the other hand the street car company
officials have imported men here from
neighboring states who are manning
their cars with six shooters and rifles
on them and at the barns some of
these same men are parading around
there with six shooters on walking on
the sidewalk and in the streets or-
dering pedestrians off of the side-
walks and streets.
Why Armed Gunrda!
We have been advised that no man
excepting an officer in Texas has a
right to carry a pistoL We have been
informed that the sheriffs office and
the police department have not sworn
in guards for these street cars. What
we want to know is. who are theso
men and by what right have they to
parade arouna tne streets eiaewaiits
by the companv barns and on the
street cars armed to the teeth? It's
up to some one to answer or investi-

Advised that the street car had been
held up and stoned police arrived after
everyone had gone All of the windows
of the street car had been broken by a
volley of stones while two Mexicans
who had been struck by flying bits of
glass were brought to the station and
questioned. They stated that they did
not hear any shots but had a narrow
escape from living glass. description
of some of the people throwing the
stones was given to the officers and
efforts are being made to locate them.
Bradley Knew Of No SbootinR.
District manager Luke Bradley of
the Electric compan. stated Tuesday
morning that he had not been advised
of any shooting by the motorman and
conductor of the street car that had
been stoned. "Neither Mr. Potter nor
myself have any knowledge of any
shooting and I am surprised to hear
of it" said Mr Bradley. "We received
a report that the car had been stoned
by strike sympathizers and every glass
window in it broken but that was all.
We were not advised of any shooting
and I am sure that if the motorman
of the car had heard of anyone being
shot he would not have hesitated to
report it at once.

we are through with the strikers.
