CLEVELAND, July 18-Yesterday was
another turbulent day in the vicinity of
the Brown company's works. There
were several incipient riots, and in the
evening there was an open conflict be-
tween the mob and militia, it being
necessary to put 1000 men to flight at
the point of the bayonet
The trouble began in the forenoon
when Patrolmen Guenther and Carey
were surrounded by a mob of rioters
and threatened with death The Off
GERS held the mob at bay until help
came and one of the leaders was ar
rested. In the afternoon two militia
men on streetcar on their way to do
picket duty were set upon by dozen
men. The soldiers were unarmed at
the time, but they used their fists to
such good advantage that they drove
their assailants from the car. Suisse
quently three of the rioters were ar
rested.
Last evening when the nonunion men
were taken from the works Captain
Zimmerman with company of militia
cleared the street. Afterward the SOL
diers returned to the works and a crowd
of 1000 men gathered in vacant lot
across the street. They assailed the
militiamen with vile epithets and final
ly somebody suggested that the soldiers
be stoned. Captain Zimmerman said
he was waiting for the stone throwing
to begin. Just then a rock g1aZed his
cap. Then the order to charge was
given and the soldiers plunged forward.
The crowd broke and started to run,
but all could not get away from the SOL
diers. At least dozen men were bay
oneted and some of them were seriously
hurt. The injured men were hustled |
away so quickly that it was impossible |
to learn the names of any of them. The
situation is uglier now than it has been |
at any time yet. The mobs are grow
ing desperate and the troops have lost |
patience. 1t is expected that there will |
be some shooting today if there is any |
show of violence toward the troops.
A squad of four militiamen of Com
pany l, was returning home shortly aft |
er O'Clock in the evening, after hav- |
ing escorted men from the works, when |
one of them separated from the others |
near East Madison avenue. He was
noticed by strikers and small crowd |
followed him, hooting and jeering. By
the time he reached Jaete's Block on
Hamilton street, the mob had grown to
1000, or 5000 in number, and stones
were thrown. The soldier had only his
side arms and ran into grocery store
to escape.
The crowd threatened to tear down
the building and he came out. Special
Policeman Owen Murphy appeared and
started to escort the militiaman TO a
patrol box that police assistance might
be summoned, but the mob encompassed
them and attacked them with stones,
sticks and fists. Meanwhile word of
the trouble had been sent to the militia
at the Brown works and Company f
fastened to the rescue. At double
quick, with rifles at charge bayonets,
they rushed at the crowd, clearing the
street speedily.
A number of men and boys were
stabbed with bayonets, but only two
Thomas Clarity of Oxford
street and Thomas McGlarvey of st.
Clair street. They are wounded in the
back and McGlarvey may die. In the
excitement the lone militiamen slipped !
away, and though doubtless injured, is
probably not dangerously hurt. Muir
ply, however, was SO badly beaten that
his recovery is in doubt. Martial law
will be enforced in the disturbed dis ]
trict from now on, and any serious {
menace tO tha militia ic likalv to no mot | 4
with extreme measures The soldiers l
are in the temper to use lead. S
