Colonel Eddy called on his reserves
In the barn, formed them into line,
stretched them along the street for a
distance of $50 feet, and then gave
the order to advance. Some Of the
strikers and their syrnpathizers took
issue with the militia and stopped to
argue the point, The temper of the
crowd necessitated a third charge.
Again the soldiers advanced on the
mob and drove it from the street at
the point of the bayonet. A second
man was wounded. His name is
Thomas Nolan, a. compositor. He fell
and was struck on the left knee with
a b9yonet in the hands of some I'M
known man. He was removed TO MS
home.
