MOB OF SOLDIERS
wreck FRISCO SALOON
Believed That a Companion Had
Been Dragged in the Place
Police Were Helpless.

San Francisco. June IA mob OF soldiers.
numbering 600 or GO. INDUCED in . riot last
night and wrecked Mrs. Powers's saloon.
one of the many drinking places just outside
The Preside Reservation.
There are q great many conflicting stories
as to the origin Of the trouble. The soldiers
of the Forty-sixth Volunteer Infantry were
mustered out of the service yesterday. and
the men given their discharges and pay.
Most of the men had several hundred dol
lars coming to them. and they did consfd-
cradle drinking in The Preside reserve.
A man named Morgan Of the Forty sixth
Was found unconscious In the front OF Mrs
Powers's saloon. Two Of Morgan's COM
pany mates took him to camp for treat
ment. The doctor pronounced 1t a case
where drugs had been, administered The
news spread rapidly about the camp. and
soon there were a dozen or more men run
ring to Mrs. Powers's saloon. They after
ward went back for re-enforcements and
spread the report that two of their COM
.sanions had been killed In this saloon
A mob made up Of members Of the Forty
fifth and Forty-sixth regiments then rushed
pell nell through The Preside gates to the
saloon. Stones were gathered on the way
and then the place was stormed- Every
window In the place was broken. the bar
and fixtures smashed and the interior de-
niolished completely.
The place caught fire and a policeman
broke trough the crowd and rang the fire
alarm. BY that time the Infatuated men
were yelling to burn the place and lynch
the one helpless man. Harris. who had been
driven from the place. Of1cers tried to
rush Harris through the crowd. but were
stopped. In spite Of the efforts Of the police
to protect Harris. the soldiers beat and cut
him terribly.
The efforts Of cavalry that had been sent
to the scene and guard to dispense tine
crowd were futile until the FIRE hose was
turned on. This and the entire guard OF
Mrs. Powers estimates the damage at
5000. Not n thing was left intact in the
saloon.
A careful Investigation Of the report that
some uf the soldiers had died from drugged
LIQUOR proved that such was not the case.
An investigation Of the riot will be made
