Deadly assault at Union Stock Yards sparks strike toll
At the Union Stock Yards a strike escalated as Pinkerton guards fired on a crowd, mortally wounding Terry Begley and another man. About 180 guards were arrested for murder, later released except six. Armour workers exited with the crowd, a train carried off workers as police began arrests. The incident sparked conflicting accounts of who fired first, with Pinkerton and city officials blaming strikers while Pinkerton leader claims his men did not shoot until provoked. The crowd, including students, fled in panic, and Begley’s condition remained critical late in the day.
