St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1884-03-29

Hates, laborer, member of the mob, was
shot and killed. This seemed to break the
spirit Of the mob, though they did not retire
hastily. a number of brickbats were thrown
by them at the soldiers and police, but gener-
ally there was not much bitterness of feeling
displayed on either side. The greatly
superior strength of the Jail over the unarm-
ed and impromtu mob was so manifest when
the frmer opened fire, that it would have been
utter folly to make any further effort. Some
twenty-five or thirty men were arrested and
pat in jail. The jailor's residence in the
jail, which was entered by portion of the
mob was rudely handled, the windows being
! broken and furniture smashed
From here they made their way to the
kitchen and thence to the lower corridor.
After the REIMBURSEMENT of the main effort
to get at the prisoners, the mob fingered out
side, throwing stones and bricks at the win
dows.
1:45 a. m.-News has just come from the
Jail that the mob is not defeated yet. They
have broken into the armory of the Veterans
regiment and taken guns. More firing has
been done at the Jail. The mob is now look
| ing for ammunition with prospect of sue
cess. The First regiments armory has been
guarded for three nights in anticipation of
this affair, but the veteran regiment of which
Sheriff Hawkins is colonel did not take the
same precaution. For the purpose of getting
more arms and ammunition the mob is now
| at the extensive gun store of B. kittredge IL
! Co., the largest in the city. In a few minutes
| a greatly superior force to the military will be
about the jail and serious results must follow.
Some are talking about getting cannon at
Music nall.
.: Is, a. m.-Newton Cobb of Name, o.,
was shot in the shoulder by soldiers, through
! the window. Cobb was bystander on the
! sidewalk. The crowd claims the soldiers are
! firing unnecessarily upon outsiders, merely
! lockers on. On the other hand the soldiers
dread an effort to burn the place or blow it
up by rolling coal oil barrels into the base
ment and justify themselves in clearing the
sidewalks on that account. 1t is saba num-
Der of women spectators have been hurt with
random shots. Firing guns is still heard at
intervals.
2:30 a. m.-Firing by soldiers from the
windows has been terribly destructive. The
following wounded has been gathered into
the drug store at Court and Walnut and at
hotel near by:
(. James Green, dying.
Walter Fay, dying.
James Turk, mortally wounded.
! +. Zohner, bad wound in the thigh.
Ed Dulief, shot in leg.
Jackson Tod, badly wounded.
DR.. Charles Muscroft, police surgeon, slight
wound.
Chris Won seggern, special policeman,
slight wound.
1t is probable that many slightly wounded
went away and no report was obtained.
These were all bystanders and there is
growing better feeling against the soldiers.
The mob has taken all the arms they want
from Kitteridge's store, including a small
| cannon.
3 a. m.-Loud reports from the vicinity of
the Jail indicate either that the mob is
| firing cannon, or that barrels
Of coal oil are being exploded. These
were rolled into the lower part of the jai
some time ago. A mob has organized and
marched up Main street just now with fife
and drum. The firing still continues, with
prospect of bloody battle.
3:15 q. m.-The firing of the cannon was
by mob of about fifty, the leader of which
said they were thirstfng for revenge. Itdoes
not appear that they have produced any
effect.
The police have full control of the jail and
the greater portion of the mob has dispersed.
| 1t is thought now the work for the night is
over.
Stern, member of the patrol wagon, shot,
is dead.
