l street south. Before, however, any conflict
distance on and when they reached 18th street
east a fight occurred. The police Immediately
went TO the scene, when the parties to the fight
ran, but one of them, George Poole, (colored)
was captured and the others escaped. Poole
made desperate resistance and in the
melee, Officer Greene calling for assist
negroes At once pitched upon HIM. Oficer
Greene then. in his attempt to save Bohlayer
from being killed, was compelled to let Poole
go he managed to reach Bohlayer IN time,
but not until he had been beaten badly and
had received two terrible gashes with a razor
In the nsshy part OF the thigh. He was carried
once. With this exception, matters were quiet
and orderly. The Citizens tickets were printed
