KANSAS CITY, Sept. 24.-The third
riot between the American Protective
Association, an anti. Catholic society,
and men who are supposedly enemies Of
that society, occurred here. But for
police interference the result might have
been many lives lost. As it was, one
Conner, an lrishman, was shot through
the hand by James Brown, a member Of
the American Protective Association,
and many men received broken heads
and bruised faces. The meeting was
held at a hall at Twenty. fourth and
Bellevue streets. A similar meeting at
the same place was broken up a week
ago. The American Protective Associa.
ton, anticipating trouble, called upon

consequence, a big squad of officers were
present. Many members Of the society
went to the meeting armed, some carry.
ing shotguns and rifles on their
shoulders.
