Negro Shot Three Strikers
St. Louis, June 5. - Three men were shot at Granite City, Illinois, Wednesday and one of them, named Cunningham, will probably die. As twenty-five negroes from St. Louis alighted from a train to go to the works of the steel plant, there to take the places of striking molders, they were met by the strikers and warned to go back. Bell, one of the imported men, who was hit on the head with a rock, pulled a revolver and emptied it into the crowd, wounding three white men. The negroes then made a rush for the works and got inside. A warrant charging murder has been sworn out against Bell.
