RIOT0US ARMENIANS
The Election OF Officers of a Society Causes
Violent Trouble

Violent Trouble
CHICAGO. August ia meeting of
Armenians held last night broke up in
riot in which a number of persons were
injured. Even before the alarm was
given, people were hurrying to North
Clark street ana Michigan street, attracted
by the uproar that came from the open
windnws of the hall where the Armenian
National union was holding meeting.
In q few moments the streets were
blocked. From the hall came the SOUND of
a terrific battle, flying chairs and furious
voices. Then suddenly the noise was
hushed, and down the stairs came nearly
hundred men. Some of them were
bioodstained. One, with his head bound
up in a handkerchief. appeared to be
insensible and had TO be carried away by
his friends. There was scarcely man
without a black eye or some mark of
the conflict about him. The trouble seems
to have arisen over the election of Off GERS.
The riot had subsi.ed when the police ar
rived, and they could not find The leaders
and no arrests were made. None of
those injured are thought to be fatally

H. II. Hasford, a bicycle rider, was
locked up in tn G police station last night
on suspicion. He was brought to the

vided the agent would wait until he re-
ceived certain remittances from the

entered into and he was given the
machine. Shortly after this Mr.. Seymore
saw in n northern cycling paper an art'-
Gle warning the public that Hasford was
an imposter and q fraud. Fearing lest
he might lose the bicycle, Mr.. Seymore
requested Hasford TO accompany him to
the authorities. which he did.
When questioned by the detectives Has.
ford stated that he had come to Los An
geles from santa Clara on a Temple
Scorcher bicycle. Hc stopped at the
Natici house for some " weeks and allowed
MS wheel to remain. 1t had not been
held for board. he asserted, but this will
be investigated today. He said that he
had intended to ship the wheel back to
Santa Clara soon, as it had been broken.
