| airy today to reinforce the two battal-

rioters were driven helter-skelter, run
ming into alleys and dooryards to es-
cape the bayonets Of the soldiers. No
body was hurt One man was ARRESTED
and turned over to the police.

fered with the running of cross-town

attempts to disarm him. A squad of po-
lice arrived, scattering the crowd and
starting the cars.
