tackled, and all the furniture was destroyed.
The clerks were taken out insensible. The
mob afterwards attacked the State Bank OF
Milwaukee, the Jurean Bank aud Martins

nine wards through East Water street 10 the
Mitchell Bank, attacking it with stones and
bricks Soon the windows were completely
destroyed. The clerks barricaded the doors
in order to gain time TO secure the valuables,
which they did in great measure. The mob
then broke down the doors, and soon stripped
the room of everything, throwing the furniture
and books into the street. The State Bank,
on the opposite corner, and Is. Martins Office,
were then attacked, and served likewise The
Bank OF Milwaukee also was stoned, but suffer
ed little damage. Allis and McGregor's real
estate office was completely Quilted, and the
books, valued at $4,000, destroyed. The Jave'
an Banks windows were broken. The mayor
and police were promptly on the ground, but
were powerless. When the Zouaves charged
the mob the fellows immediately ran, and the
streets were soon cleared. Guards were sta
toned at the street corners, and at each bank.
About fifty rioters Were arrested and Jailed
under a strong guard.
This evening the mob is again in force in
the End and 9th wards. Infammatory speech
es are being made. They have one cannon,
