One of the Union Men Was Shot and Seriously Injured.
Chicago, May 4.—Seven non-union coal heavers were attacked by five union pickets on an Ashland avenue street car last night and as a result Dennis Hannison, a union picket, was shot and perhaps fatally wounded.
The non-union men were under the protection of Special Officer James Malaney and two city policemen. As the union pickets had been making threats the non-union men remained in the yards until the car came, hoping that the pickets would not follow them. But before they had gone half a block the pickets boarded the car and attacked the non-union men. Special Officer Malaney, to protect the men in charge, fired at the pickets, wounding Dennis Hannison in the left groin. Malaney and John Connors, a union picket, were arrested.
