ST. Louis, April 21.-A riot occurred in
East St Louis Saturday night, in which
three men were injured.
In consequence of high water in the
river, the Inhabitants stopped mp the culvert
on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad to pre-
vent the town from being submerged.
The road master fearing the track would
be washed away, proceeded with track
hands to remove distractions. They were
met by crowd who ordered them off. The
matter was referred to the Provost Marshal
who sent over guard of so men to quell
the disturbance and protect the railroad
men. They found IS to 100 men assem-
bled to prevent distractions from being re-
moved. The crowd was ordered away but
refused to go. Several shots were fred at
them but no one was injured. The guard
then charged bayonets on the crowd and
three men were injured, one severely.
Yesterday Col. Parsons and Mr.. Bacon,
President OF the road, went over to examine
into the matter, and decided to allow the
distractions to remain, as their removal in
volved the destruction of vast amount of
property. 1t is doubtful whether the en-
bsrkment of the road will prevent the
town being submerged as the road is near
~ overfowed in several places.
