THE RIo1oUn nA.----ls.

The Cleveland Herald of Tuesday
morning contained an account of a
riotous demonstration made upon the
schooner City Of PainesUiHe, Mon
day night, by party of sailors who
were on a strike for higher wages.
On Tuesday fierce encounter took
place in which three men were shot,
one of whom was probably fatally
injured.
The ringleaders recruited a mob
numbering about one hundred and
fifty persons. They visited several
vessels whose crews were made up,
boarding them by force and taking
off the "dunnage' of the men. and in
some instances compelling the latter,
by force, to leave the vessels and
join them. They encountered no op-
position but what they could over
come by force of numbers, until they
struck the schooner WiHiam Young,
of Ashtabula, Capt. Milo Roberts,
lying in the old river bed, Just oppo-
site the Otis Iron Works. The Young
was loaded with coal, and was ready
to leave for Buffalo, having her
crew already made up.
When the noisy mob reached this
vessel and declared their intention of
boarding her, Capt. Roberts warned
them repeatedly not to do so, at their
peril. They did not heed him, how
ever, and made a rush for the deck,
when the plucky captain seized a
pump-brake and made a "pass" at
the foremost, but did no harm. 1t
showed them that he meant business
and they withdrew a short distance.
They then began lively lombard
ment with pieces of iron ore. The
ugly missiles hurtled through the air
all around the gallant captain, and
thumped upon the deck, cabin and
sides of the schooner. But Capt.
Roberts did not retreat: Seeking
shelter behind the rail he pulled out
his revolver and commenced firing.
Directly one of the rioters also began
to shoot, and active firing was kept
up for some time.
One of the mob fell shot in the
left breast, and was borne from the
field. Two others also got taste of
the captains lead, one being hit in
the leg and another in the arm.
Matters began to look serious, and
the mob finally gave it up as a bad
job and withdrew. Capt. Roberts,
by his nerve and his revolver, gained
complete victory over. a bowling
mob that at the time of the attack
numbered nearly two hundred.
The crowd passed on up the river
bed, continuing their attacks on 9th
er vessels. Word had been sent to
police headquarters, and squad of
a dozen was sent to the seat of war.
The force divided into two squads'
one going up the river bed from the
east, and the other making a flank
movement from Detroit street. The
latter squad struck the rioters just
as they had cleaned out the schooner
Nimr0d, a few moments later the
other squad came up in the rear, and
the mob was speedily dispersed.
Thirteen were arrested and taken to
the station.
The man who was shot in the
breast is a native of Greece. The
ball could not be found, and it was
believed the wound would result fa-
tally. The other two who received
Capt. Roberts compliments were not
dangerously injured.

the sale of all intoxicating liquors,

the law does not apply to all of the

Some dram-seller, who has been
