Two of the riots occurred on South
Broadway as a result of the attempt of

The first disturbance occurred at the
intersection of Broadway and Miller
streets. Bonfires a been started dur-
ing the night and h tracks We're found
encountered with the debris by the
crew of the first car out. A big crowd
composed of men. women and children
was gathered at the corner and they
hoooted n guyed the crew as it at
tempted to remove the distractions.
Almost Immediately shooting commence
ed from h car. The crowd scattered
in every direction and in the greatest
confusion A schoolgirl named Dolly
Mitchell screamed and fell to the side
walk. She vas borne to a place Of safe
ty and on examination it was found hat
she was shot through the arm and was
not seriously hurt. William Granne-
MANN, who was standing some distance
from the scene of the shooting, was
struck in the left knee and seriously
hurt. James McCalley, who was also
some distance from the crowd when the
firing began, received a ball in the left
leg just above the knee. Both Afanne-
mann's and McCalley's injuries may me-
c%essitate the amputation of their limbs.
The second riot occurred at the corner
of Broadway and Pestolizzi streets. AT
the time a large crowd was gatheredat
the alley through which the railroad
switch to the Anheuser-Rusch brewery
runs. AS a car passed the point the
crowd commenced to ieer at the crew
and then began to pelt the car with rocks
and other missiles. AS oon as the cor
was thus assaulted the firing began. In
all IS Or 80 shots were fired. The crowd
began to run up the alley just as soon as
the firing started. Herman Pastchke.

ments later George Lacostan. a man
employed at the brewery. and Albert
Wackwitz. a painter. fell to the grour ;
the former being hit by a bullet in the
left arm, and the latter receiving one
in the head above the right temple, the
ball ranging upward between h scalp
and skull and passing out at the top Of
the head. It is the opinion of the ply
sicians that neither man is seriously in
jured.
The worst rfotous disturbance occurred
as the car approached the intersection
of California avenue and Keokuk street.
In this ARRAY a non-union motorman and
another employee on a car of the Transit
company We're probably fatally shot. The
battle while it ragged was fierce, and. in
view of the large number of shots fred,
estimated at 200 it is remarkable that
there were not more injured. If there
were they were nov before the po-
lice could get to the scene.
