Escaping Escap-ing Irom the crowd the desperadoes went to Dawson's tannery, where they had formerly worked. There they called for Meyer, tho foreman, who had discharged them, but not finding him they commenced an indiscriminate in-discriminate firing, which resulted in the killing of John Albert, assistant foreman, and tho wounding of two workmen. The employes chased tin; murderers toward the river. In the pursuit the workmen used stones and knives, striking the murderers several times, before they reached the river. The latter leaped into tiio river and attempted to escape, but were stoned to death by the outraged workmen. The wounded were taken to the hospital. One of them named I'isher, is dead. Dickesron will not recover, and the wounded ' are in a precurious state. Tho body ofoneot the Fishorns has been recovered re-covered from thn river. It shows marks o( bad cutiing.
