Probably never in the history OF the
city were SO many persons assembled
On Market street between Twelfth and
Sixteenth. In every direction there
was sea of faces, and the hopeless
mortal who undertook TO fight through
the throng, abandoned the task before
he was fairly started. For a time the
crowd kept within the prescribed
bounds. Then the sides began to
bulge out, and in several places the
wires broke down from the sheer
weight of humanity behind. The po-
lice patrolled the street, but in spite of
their extreme vigilance, the crowd
gradually forced itself beyond the curb
Inc. In several instances the break
ing wire caused persons to fall, and
III the rush which followed the escape
from serious casualties was little short
OF miraculous.
When the 'Dokies" marched up the
street, Immediately followed by the Ra-
venswood company, the police exper-
fenced trouble in clearing a passage
way, and the meek-appearing mule
at the head of the column received
many hard knocks. The efforts of the
police were then concentrated in keep
ing the crowds behind the wires which
formed square bounded by the east
and. west sides of Market street,
Twelfth street on the north, and alley
8 on the south.
The wires were suddenly broken and
there was a scamDeling of men and
boys TO get positions of advantage in
side the square. In less time than is
required to tell it the center of the
street was black with humanity, and
the early precautions counted for
naught. The Ravenswood company
were lined up at attention" in front
OF the Mcclure. The crowd elbowed
the Knights, carrying some of them off
their feet, and before the command to
break ranks" had been given, the
crowd had executed the order The
drill was of necessity abandoned.
