Mayor Andre said that he anticipated no trouble

called upon Sheriff Richards for assistance but
merely discussed the outlook
Oaly four citizens responded 10 the Mayors

of the people OF this city are wage-earners 1t Is
readily seen with whom they sympathize. Mayor
Andre was asked how he was going TO preserve

one hundred deputies How that many deputies
could subdue this crowd and their sympathzers

tippes were wrecked the crowd set the pile
