EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENT
A Buenos Ayres contemporary reports that during the recent dock strike a laborer was working at a winch, when one of the strikers' delegates appeared »n the scene. He called to the laborer and ordered him to leave work in th& most insolent terms. The laborer, becoming heated, told the agitator that he was going on working, whatever others might say or do. The agitator then pulled out a revolver and fired three times at the workman without hitting him. A mounted policeman was attracted by the altercation, and ort seeing the shots fired he spurred his horse on to the assailant and slashed at him with his sword. The blow wa» so powerful that the head was quite severed from the body, and trunk and head rolled in different directions. Ait ambulance was quickly in attendance, and the remains of the agitator were promptly carried away.
