Burdette says that if man would
avoid all danger in a row or street
fight he had best enter into the thick
est of it as it is always the innocent
spectators that get hurt. In the Bel
fast riots, last week, waitress be-
longing to tavern adjacent to the pO-
lice station was shot through the brain
A youth standing at the bar in a tav-
ern opposite the station was shot. A
girl named Minnie McAlister, who was
out to buy pair of shoes, was shot in
the cheek. A boy named Kale was
shot in the breast. A bar-maid named
Kelly was shot through the skull. A
strange boy was found dead in a house
into which he had evidently run to
witness the riots. Not one of these
persons appears to have in any way
been identified with the rioters but
they were hanging round Whereabouts
or they wouldn't have been injured. 1t
would appear that the best course for
innocent and law-abiding people to
pursue in time of street brOils, is to
betake themselves to their homes and
thus diminish the crowd, at least.
