the packing corpoiallon at the stock yatds
picdlcted In these dlspilches Is In partial
opointlon nnd H U supp iscd that to-moirovv
will see the lockout In full operation. This
morning the employes of the Cliicago PackIng -
Ing nnd Provision company gatlien-d at tlio
house at nn eaily liont. 'llieyhnd no Inten
tion of resuming work undo ! the now ten-
hour rule billed lo go Into elTct Monday , tlie
probable Intention of which was to see how
the men would stand. Tlioy decided , after n
brief talk , not to accede to tlie proposition of
the pickcis to letnrn to ten hours. The de
cision was icgardcd as llnal nnd unanimous ,
Mid when it became leeogni/ed as such the
men wentwlhl wlthcxclte'iicnt. ' They assem
bled outside and matched down on Aunour's
1,500 stiong , ypllinir nnd hooting. Their In
tention was to compel Amour t Co.'s men to
go out wltli them. The excitement In nnd
about Armour A : Co.'s house for a few min
utes was intense. The mob of men congre
gated outside on the railioad tiacks nnd
theli shouts for their liiethien to diop their
tools and join them drowned the shriek
ot the locomollv e. Ai motir's men were true ,
however , and H'fuscd to null woik. Falling
togettlip men to < iult the crowd wont to B.
IV. DoiuUV Co.'s pit-king house As at Armour's
they attempted to get the men to leave thu
killing bench and tlie hos In the scalding
vats nnd join them , A lepetitlon of what
occnircd at Aimour'swas seen , nnd falling
to get the men out tlio crowd hastened to the
Anglo-Anieiican Packing coninuiy's house.
Agrln tlieh attempt to get the niiiploycs to
join them was unsuccessful , nnd after mak
ing the air linn with lialr raising yells they
dispciscd , prohxbly for their homes Moran
> \ . Ileaicy , bllbcilioin & Co. , and the Chicago
Packing and Provision company house au
now descitcd. everything has been clcaied
up , the men having performed their woik ,
and nllhoks well fora long and hard cam
paign.
This afternoon , evidently by preconcerted
action , all the men employed by the follow
ing stock yaid packing trims refused to work
and joined the .strikers : At moiir A , Co. , John
Monell , J. T. HickcyA : Co. , John Cudahy ,
the Inter national Piovlslon company , and
tlio Anclo-Amctican Packing company.
Tlreie aie between six and seven thousand ol
them , making about eight thousand In nil
who stiuck during tl o day. Somoot Moi-
rlll's men after going out deeded to return
to woik. Tlio stilkers nt once Invaded tlie
place to compel them to quit Quite n not
ensued and the Lake police weie summoned
to ( | iu'll it , Onu bundled and til teen
Plnkciton policemen also left for tlie stock
jams at the loquest ot the packers to preserve
iicaco and piotei t tnopeity. The piesencc oL
the police uiul I'inkerton men seivcd to pre
sent any roirtiwai ot the distuibanci s.
Uho picv.illing impression niiiong the la-
boieis is that tlio packers can bii "bested" in
this nglit , notwithstanding tlio fact that they
have tire financial backing. ' ' 1C we can only
stick togetlipr , " said n knight todayvc -
will \vin thu light In a month , If not sooner. "
Aiuioui A , Co. aie bitterly denounced by the
laborers ns thu cause ot this new move of the
packers. 'Ihupicscut and past season has
been the mostpioiltablc for the packers and
theli employes tor maiiv yeais. The summer
preceding tlio gieat strike of IbT'J was a most
prolitnblo one nnd the pist season resembles
It greatly. Many of the men have neglected
to mvo up a penny foi a rainy clay , and It is
more than probable , accordingly , that many
will cntci tlm lockout Monday with oniv the
money they will draw Satuiday. Ot'rer- ' > have
not been BO reckless and have husbanded
their eainings with ono eye to tlio future ,
and can now \ery well stand the lockout.
The question causing tlie greatest discus
Fion is in relation to cattle butchers and men
working In beef houses will the pork met :
allow them to w ork ? A number of butcher
slid this motning that they weie perfectly
satisfied wltli ailalis , ccUjne nil they asked
for ten hours' pay ior eight hours' work ,
Their inteiests did not'clash with those ol
the hog men , and foi that reason the latter
would not ask them to go out. The preccdcni
has been established some yeais , and by thli
It Is proposed to go. It Is tlionght by the
pork men that If the beef men can bo in
duccd to go out and the entlrosystem Is para
lyved it will assist them materially and lieli
to bring tlie pickcrsto a realization of things
Just what tlio men propose to do Is a conun
drum not easily solved. Many think that 1
would bo advantageous not to aiipoar Moil
day lor duty. That pccullai deslio to set
how things tire going will ceilalnly nttrac
them , and it Is supposed that ri.OVO men wh

this most cowardly nssiult , icsultlng In

Arensdorf , a prominent citbun , nnd one ot
the piopi rotors of the hour browoiy , was also
anosted last night at laen pint upon tele-

had gone there caily In the week
as a delegate to the statu encampment

was not bioiiiiht to Sioux City to-day as had
been llrst planned , but taken to Klngslpy ,
la. , the home of Attorney Wood , where he
will remain until wanted for examination.
Ills full confession , made nndei oath In Chl-
crfio. is now In tlio hands of the authorities
here , and Is In the main as follows :
I joined tlio saloon keepers' association
August3. Fied Munchrath , Geoice Triebei ,
bimonson , Louis i'l.tth , and anothei man
and myself , niter thu meeting adjourned ,
airanged to invmnen to do Walkei up the
next tlav at the comt house. The next day
tliemenweio too cluink to cairy out the
plans. I tlionght this would bo the end the
matter , but Mat Casstieai told me next day
huli.td two men to do ihejob torSlOO. Ttiebci
said everything had been ananged with the
noliceiucii. I w.is on hind when Wood and
Walker left the court lioitse e\pc tint ; to see
the job done and point out the \ icthiis to the
sluggers. But King and Waldevrlng , 110
men , failed to eanv out their | ) , irt ot the pro-
gianime. and so nothing c.imo of it.
On the night of Atuust fl 1
met Fred Mnnehiath , Gee Tricbcr ,
Louis Plath , a s.iloon keeper whose name 1
don't know , and two dntchmen w horn Tneber
said weio men lie had to do up Walker They
were talking about Haddock and Turniu
diiving out to Greenville. Hemy Il.ibeiman ,
Tiiebcr , Plath , and mvself got into a hack ,
let tlio windows down , and loliowed
the pieaclieis out. When we
came b'ck wo stopped at Junk's
and got a diinlr. When wo left
to go home , the two Dutchmen liiied by
liiebei weio at the dooi. John Aicnsdorl
cnmo out ot the \loon about tills time , and
thu Dutchmen said to him : "The buirgv has

myself nnd the two Dutchmen bherman and
Lange. 1 tiiougnt tliero would bo another
failute. Munehrath suggested not to punch
Haddock too hard , but to hit him in the face
once 01 tw ica nnd give him a black eye. We
saw Haddock coming and Arensdoit started
toward him. When no came uu in fiontof
him lie looked him in thu face nnd tluuw
up ills iiands. Haddock then pulled some
thing fiom Ills pocket , nnd struck Arens-
dort. I saw Aronsdorf draw his gun
nnd shoot Haddock. Then wo all ran. 1
wenthomeand told my wife I went to sco a
slugging match and saw a niurdei. 1 am sat-
it was Arensdoif who did the shooting , as lit
was the only one to cross the strict towaul
Haddock 1 saw Arensdorf the next morn
ing. } Je claimed ho thought liaddock was
going to shoot nnd lired In self : ilefenne.
I went several times to Justice
Foloy's ofllco to make a con
fession , but ne\cr iiad the courage. My
wife urged me stionglv to do so. About one
weeknltei the killinir John Aienedoif came
til mo in trout of Warllcli'ssiloon , and he
said to me : "Henry , tlm dri\er ot the wagon
knows all about this , and I am thinking ot
sending him overintoNebraskatohishome. "
I said : "You had better let him stay right
here , as you can't tell how tills thing It
