Flynn, one Of the officers who had been
brought to preserve peace.
When Flynn struck Black anolher
Democratic officer pulled Conway away
from the Sergeant.
Black fought against twenty-one men.
Clark was getting it hot and heavy
when Officer Mcguire lifted him bodily
outside the railing. The rest OF the
Democrats stood around like sticks and
made no effort to interfere. While this
was going ON Cochran kept his stand,
supported on one side by Jack Hannlgan,
on the other by Tenth Ward Socialist:
Recorder Of Deeds Montgomery tried
to silence the crowd by telling them to
be Democrats and observe law and
order. Just then the mob caught sight
of Levi Bird, who had been summoned
as the Sheriff attorney, and yelled, PUT
him out"
Mr., Bird arose from his seat and walk
ing to the front said 81 stay here dead or
alive"
Sheriff Gillis then attempted to have
the vote counted.
When Deputy Tucker began to read
the names Cochran (still on the table
shouted, ''if you are looking for trouble
we Il give it to you.'

Conway moved that all persons not elec-
ton officers or reporters who were INSIDE
Of the railing should 60 out.
Fred f. Bach was sitting at the re-
porter's table, but did not move. The
crowd back OF railing, largely Democrats,
wanted to know what Bach was doing
there. Gillis said the ex-chairman was a
reporter, and when asked what paper he
represented. he said the Morning Neacs
and New York paper. The crowd i'm.
mediately demanded credentials and
when he did not show them yelled,
"Put him out"
Mr.. Bach wanted to know what right
Cochran had there, and the young lawyer
said he was deputized there.
