Broke Up in Riot.

A special to the Kansas City World,
of yesterday, from st. John, Kansas,
says: This city is in state of nigh
excitement over a terrible and bloody
riot which occurred here last night
between Bond Bros circus and the
citizens of this place. The circus
came here from Wichita and put up
their tents yesterday. They were ac-
cOmnpaied by a large gang Of robbers,
shell workers and criminals of differ
ent kinds. They went to work in a
high handed manner to rob the citi-
zens and succeeded in doing so to the
queens taste.
A warrant was sworn out for the ar
rest of Cart Amen and placed in an
officers hands at about s o'clock last
evening. Amen refused to 60 with
the officer, and the latter then called
for deputies to assist him in making
the arrest.
At this the circus cry of "hey,
Rube!" began to ring out and in an 10.
creditably short time there we're at
least l75 circus roustabouts and other
show employees among the crowd Of
citizens with clubs, stakes, etc. The
fight became general.
A small body of about fifty or sixty
citizens attempted to hold them at
bay, but it was an utter impOssibility
as they came on in overwhelming
numbers.
A great many were more or less
wounded and one citizen, Charles
GlaSscock, by name, was hurt so badly
by a blow from a club that in all prob
ability he will die. He has not yet re-
gained consciousness.
One man belonging to the circus
was shot in the leg and severely
wounded, having his thigh bone bro
ken. Orders were telegraphed imme-
diately by County Attorney Jennings
to Governor Morrill, for the state mi
litia and also 10 division superintend-
ent of the Santa Fe railroad company
for orders to hold the train at this
city as the men began tearing up and
loading their train directly after the
riot occurred.
The railroad superintendent refused
to hold the train and the aggregation
got out. They are to show in Dodge
| City today.
A telegram was received this morn
ing from Adjutant General Fox stat
ing that a militia force Of fifty me1
was enroute to st. John and will be
