A dispatch from Columbus sta ties thai
Governor Hoadly, on advices from this city,
Sunday, ordered every military organization
in the State to report at this city immedi-
ately-Seven regiments and five batteries in
all. 1t is the first general appearance Of
war since 1865. The Governor also ordered
all State ammunition to the scene of the
riot, and borrowed lot of supplies and
equipments from the United States bar
racks, having exhausted all his military
forces in the field.
The first renewal of hostilities after night
occurred at $50, when the communists and
|
market house. Here the mob began the
fight, when they were repulsed with loss
of five killed and twelve wounded. A reg
iment from Columbus guarding the Court
street approach to the courthouse, was
fired into by one of the mob from an alley
between Main and Walnut on Court street.
The troops answered the challenge by a
few shots, which were followed by vol
ley and several shots from the Calling
stationed there.
About this time the mob appeared in force
in the rear of Music Hall, and, breaking in.
to the armory, captured six cannon, and
were placing them on wheels When the mil.
itary appeared, fired several vOlleys and dis
persed them with the loss of three killed,
several wounded, and number of prison
erS.
There are as many as 800 or 5000 SOL
diers now in the city, stationed at various
points, and it is evident the backbone of the
mob is broken. Undoubtedly the presence
of this large force has brought the fearful
riot to an end.
The force now in the city comprise the
following: First Regiment, Cincinnati, Col
onel c. B. Hunt commanding; Sixth Regi-
ment, Chillicothe. Colonel Entrelsen COM
handing; Thirteenth Regiment, HilIsboro
Colonel Packard commanding; Fourteenth
Regiment, Columbus, Colonel Freeman COM
handing; Seventeenth Regiment, Coshoc-
ton, Colonel Pocock commanding; Governor
Guards Columbus, Captain Bliss command
ing; Fifth Battery, Springfield, with two
guns, Captain Hintz commanding; Ninth
Battalion, Springfield, Major Harper COM
manding; First Battery, Cleveland, four
guns, Captain Smith Knight commanding.
The mob at one time took possession Of
the roofs of houses in the vicinity of Court
and Walnut streets, and fired down on the
militia in line in front of the court house.
The crowd has almost entirely fallen back
from Court street, leaving the street clear to
Vine
1t is impossible to obtain correct list Of
the killed and wounded. The NeaUs-Jour-
nal prints list in the morning, which is
believed to be very nearly accurate, show
ing that, including Friday night there have
been thirty-six deaths, eighteen fatally
wounded and sixty-eight more or less in
jured.
