ALMOST A RIOT
Caused by the silly and Reprehensibie
Conduct OF Two Miiitiamen.


CLEVELAND O.. Aug. s-A riot was
narrowly averted at the corner Of 1T.
CLAIR and Lewis streets last evening.
That it was averted was due to the
GOODNESS and clearhcadcdness of a
number of business men of that local
ity, together with the prompt appea r.
ance of Company II, Fifth regiment. O.
y. g., commanded by Capt. thinner
man.

children, boys and girls, were march
ing up and down the streets PLAYING
soldier. None of them were over II
years old. But this juvenile fun seemed
to cxaspcratc the boys who carried the
real guns Without any warming they
charged bayonets on the Gcfenseless
children, who scattered in all direc-
tions
hundreds of people were passing,
returning from work, and several ex-
postulatcd with the soldiers The
pickets then ordered every one off the
street. Edward Nicholas. who lives
at i. Beckett place, came downs Lewis
street with his wife. lie was ordered
off the street, and as lie did not move
quick enough, was jabbed with the
bayonet. His wife remonstra ted, and
was threatened with the steel and
compelled to iee.
Several other persons were proddcd
into alacrity OF movement, but the
crowd kept gathering, and threats
were freely made. II. w. Lamart,
druggist, was chased out of his store
and DIR. A. ID. Campbell. who was With
Mr.. Lamart, was compelled to take tc
the side streets.
The arrival Of Company + and the
action of the business men in with
drawing indoors quoted affairs
greatly and in "a short time the trouble
had disappeared, though this petty
action of the militia has caused in

part of those who have heretofore

very serious charge OF throwing a
kiss at him while he was passing
down the street with his wife. Mrs.
Ashkraft says she didn't throw the
kiss at Mr.. Fawcett, but did throw
it at Mrs Fawcett. The general
opinion is that Mr. Fawcett wouldn't t
have made any fuss ABOUT the kiss if
Mrs. Fawcett hadn't detected it fly
ing across the street. 1t seems to
be well understood in Wichita that
the city council will pass an ordi-
nance against kissing in that town,

and banana peels in the street where
men are liable to slip up on them
