militia to halt; not obeying; he was
dangerously wounded;name not learned.
Lieut.. Wright, from the barricades of
the county buildings, sent message at
6 o'clock that all was quiet, except now
and then a random shot.
The rioters made their last rally few
minutes after midnight. They had by
that time become much reduced in
numbers, and while still threatening
were less aggressive. State troops here
are in force and have full possession.
They are in overwhelming numbers and
more are coming. There is no possibil-
ity that any lawless combination can
defeat them. The panicy feeling has
departed. Mr.. Briggs Swift, the mill
liOnaire pork merchant, who was shot
by militia last night while discharging
his duties rs member of the Citizens
Committee, is dying. Pillaging in the
western part of the city is entirely
stopped. Not much damage was done
there.
CINCINNATI, March, 81, 1925 a. m.-
The mob have taken possession of the
roofs of houses in the vicinity Of Court
and Walnut streets, and are firing down
upon the militia in line in front of the
Court House. The crowd has almost en-
tirely fallen back from Court street,
leaving the street clear to view. Two
men were carried into drug store at
Court and Walnut, seriously if not
mortally wounded. Very evidently the
backbone of the rist is broken.
CINCINNATI, March 81, 1925 q. m.-
At this hour all is quiet here, and it is
now believed the worst is passed. The
city is filled with troops, the effect of
which has been to disperse the mob,
who do not fancy facing the muzzles of
several thousand guns in the hands of
determined men, who are backed by
the powers of the State. The mutter-
ings have not all ceased as yet, and it
will be some days before it will be safe
to withdraw the guards.
NO FEARS OF FURTHER OUTBREAK.
CINCINNATI, March 3l.-At the Jail
and city buildings everything is in the
most complete state of defense. Across
all the streets and alleys approaching
the seat of war the barricades have been
strengthened and reinforced. The COM
manding officers are sanguine in their
expressions as to no fear Of further out
break, and, indeed, appearances in the
city would lead one to think them per-
fectly right. The
MOB SEEMS ENTIRELY QUELLED
and to stand in such wholesome fear of
the reckless shooting of the soldierly
and terrible effects of the gattling guns
as to have had entirely sutficiency OF
rushing into the jaws of death. The
Thirteenth and Fourteeth regiments,
under command respectively of Coils
Picard and Freeman, from Hillsborc
and Columbus, seem to be considered
the most reliable, and are still on duty
guarding the barricades, the point of al
attacks.
Since the last report four additiona
deaths have occurred at the hospital
Fred Beckenherst, Leroy Simmons
Charles Miller and Andrew Nickols.
The exact number of dead ant
wounded will probably never be- ascer
tained, on account of many wounded
being carried away by friends. But The
number killed outright or dying at thu
hospital up to midnight tonight is Al
as shown by the undertakers and hos
: pital records, and such information from
those taken to houses as could be had
and the number of wounded compiled
from the same sources is 120. There arr
probably half as many more wounded
: not reported.
