Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1877-07-27

100 shots were fired into the mob.
About a dozen are lying in a drug
store near the scene of action, more or
less severely injured. This charge
broke the courage OF the mob, many
of whom were captured, and a long
chain being stretched across in front
of the mail dock, they were marched
to il for the present for safe keeping.
The mob at no time obtained access To
the mail dock, which was closed and
strongly guarded, and several cannon
planted commanding its entrance. In
the meantime the fire had burned an
immense quantity of lumber, mostly
belonging to simpson Bros, McDon-
aid, Mills & Co., and Starbuck and
Goldstein, and also the wood yards of
O'Connell, Higgins & Collins and a
great deal of similar property owned
by various parties. The ships at the
wharf were hurriedly lowed to places
of safety. The firemen, after the first
outbreak were well protected, and
worked with but slight bindrance.
The driver of hose cart No. l is report
ed shot dead by the mob, but no other
casualties are known among the force.
After the police and citizens had DIS
persed the mob, a few of them includ-
ing some who had been raiding on
Howard and Folsom streets, gathered
In the vicinity of the Grand and Palace
hotels, and on Market street, and some
of them penetrated into Kearney street.
Here they were met by a force and
driven back to Market, while another
detachment of citizens and police
marched along Montgomery, and TAX
ing the crowd between them punished
them severely and scattered them. At
present they seem to be roaming in
small gangs over that portion of the
city south of Market, closely watched
by ths police and citizens, and it Is ex-
pected they will seize the first oppor-
tunity to gather again in force. The
anti coolie meeting, which had been
called to meet early in the evening,
near the new City Hall, vas not very
large. A crowd of perhaps 500 to 500
people were present.
The speeches from the stand and the
u%tterances of the crowd were Of the
most incendiary nature. Threats were
openly made to clean out Chinatown
and then attack residences OF the Rail
road authorities; and from what could
be learned by circulating among the
crowd, it would appear that Friday
evening has been fixed upon for a
demonstration in that direction. From
some unaccountable cause neither the
police nor the vigilantes made an ap.
pearance at the meeting, which, after
a~djourning, formed the nucleus for a
band which has been, during the even
ing, raiding in the southern portion of
the city. During the evening men
were detected distributing printed slips

The slips read as follows: "Pro Bono

The anti-coolie meeting assembled
in front of the new City Hall early
last evening. About 500 were present.
Speeches of:the most incendiary char
acter cheered wildly, any who
attempted to talk reason to the crowd
being hooted from the stand. There
were no police in attendance, and after
a brief session the crowd broke up,
and started to raid Chinese houses in
