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
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 81
Co., the largest in the city. In 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 hall.

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 said a 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
a hotel near by:
E. James Green, dying.
| Walter Fay, dying.
James Turk, mortally wounded.
| f. 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 bystan6ers and there is
growing better feeling against the soldiers.
The mob has taken all the arms they want
from Kitteridge's store, including small
cannon.
3a. 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 thirsting 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.
