There was a scene of desolation and
evidences of violence and laWlessness
unparalleled in the history of the city

One child was lying cold in death and
nearly score of people were suffering
from the wounds Of pistol balls. buck.

Electric wires, deadly to the touch
lay across the streets in the vicinity
Of the burned buildings and debris OF

The downtown streets were just as the
mob left them. and although nothing
was being done by the rioters, crowds
of spectators. hundreds in number.
hung around waiting for something
to turn up
The crowds began to increase as the
curious spectators hurried to the scene
of the trouble. A policeman appeared
and then another timid at first, but
with increasing assurance. as no vio-
lence was offered. Then Company G,
of Canton. detachment of the gallant

the rioting was still in evidence. al
though no open resistance to the troops
was shown On the advice of friends.
Mayor Young sought his office by
back streets and alleyways, as it was
feared that his presence so early after
the rioting would cause a fresh out

issued a proclamation closing every
saloon in Akron until further orders.
If the situation demands more drastic
measures the mayor states that the
city will be put under martial law.
Wild rumors We're current that mobs
were being formed to go to Cleve-
land to lynch Peck, but there were
no grounds for the rumor.
In the Akron riot the innocent ones
were those to suffer. while the guilty
ones were practically uninjured. One
killed. one fatally injured and 20 per-
IONS more or less injured is the result
of the mob's work. Glen Wade was
shot and almost Instantly killed. He
