ammunition they could find, In

and proceeded to the city building
and opened fire on the defenders
and finally set fire to the Columbia
hall, which adjoins the city build
ing. They will, no doubt, set fire
to the city building, as the flames
were spreading rapidly.
Later Columbia hall burned to the
ground and the city building was on
fire. The fire department was called
out but was unable to do much work,
as one of the firemen had been shot
and the rowdies cut the hose ut every
opportunity. There was no chance of
saving the city building. The mob
was continually shooting and hurting

yet firing on the city building, and the
militia had been called for. One fire

The mob was making for the firemen,
and as fast as lines of hose were
stretched they were cut.
Arthur L. Sprague was carried from
the street, shot i'll the head. A man
named Park Stair was shot in the lee.
