Mrs. Mary Singer was seated in
saloon with 4-months-old babe on her
lap, when bullet crashed through the
door of the saloon and buried itself in
her leg. The wound is not fatal.
The affray was solely precipitated by
the mob, which was made up in the
main by foreigners, the neighborhood
being inhabited almost exclusively by
Bohemians and Polaks. A few minutes
before 4 o'clock a wreclking train which
had been clearing away the debris OF
several burned freight cars at Forty
ninth and Loomis streets was sur
rounded by mob Of 1000 men, women
and children. Almost score of police
officers from the Nineteenth precincts
were in the neighborhood, while the
wrecking train was specially guarded
by Company G of the Second regiment.
For a while the mob contented itself
with hurling imprecations at the SOL
diers, to which the latter, having re-
ceived orders to act with strict forbear-
ance, paid no attention. Finally, be-
coming emboldened by the pacific at
titude of the troops, some of the mob
commenced to throw stones, coupling
pins and other missiles, as well as to
fire revolvers over the heads of the sol
diers. 1t became apparent that heroic
measures would be necessary, and
finally when another fusilade of stones
had been directed toward the company,
the order to fire was given.
At the same moment the word was
given to advance, and the men dashed
forward with their bayonets at charge.
Alongside of them dashed the police,
discharging their revolvers over the
heads of the mob. The effect was in
Simultaneous. Not a rioter held his
ground. Like lot of sheep they scat
tered to right and left, many of them
taking refuge in the frame residences
and dragging after them the wounded.
The military and police followed the
latter, continuing to discharge their
revolvers and riddling the fronts of the
houses with bullets.
Burke, jackson and the man un-
known were picked up by the police
and carried 60 the Office of neighbor-
ing coal yard from which they were
taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
The rest of the injured were attended
by doctors living in the neighborhood.
Just before the attack by the mob, one
of the officers, realizing the critical
condition of affairs, had telephoned for
reinforcements, and while the mob was
scattering, Company +, of the Second
regiment, under command of Capt
0'Neill, and which had been stationed
at the crossing of the Pan Handle
tracks, came down the tracks at brisk
trot. At Forty-ninth and Ashland ave-
nue. they encountered portion of the
fleeing rioters. Several stones were
thrown toward the military and Capt.
o'Neill ordered charge. Again the
rioters scattered. Three of the most
demonstrative took refuge in saloon.
The soldiers followed and arrested
them at the point of the bayonet.
Shortly before o'clock the police on
duty at the Loomis street crossing q
few blocks away, came up to learn II
the military was in need of assistance
Selling the opportunity, a portion Of
the mob made detour to the west and
couple Of minutes later had fred a
box car standing on the Grand Trunk,
| Just east of Loomis street and almost
at the same spot where the encounter
had taken place few hours before.
| The police at once returned to the
scene, but before the fire department
could respond to the call the car was
reduced to ashes. A crowd of foreign
ers, principally Bohemians and Poles,
congregatcd outside of the tracks and
hootcd and jeered the firemen when
they put in an appearance. When,
however, the polio, made dash with
uplifted clubs the mob fled.
