At Ills o'clock last night mob OF Re
publican Indians invaded the polling place
In the Seventeenth Ward Mt No. 3135 North
Twenty-third street and after oyerpower-
ing the judges and clerks and Patrolman
John Shea. took possession of the ballot
box and ballots and departed. At an early
hour this morning the ballot box had not
been located.
In the RAID four shots were fired, bat no
one was struck. Patrclman Shea was
knocked down and his revolver knocked
from his hand. George Wishmeier of No

Previous to the raid there was a misun-
derstanding among the Judges and chal-
lengers over the results of the count. and
In this encounter one shot was fired by
challenger, who was standing in the polling
booth.
This shot seemed to be a signal for
crowd that had congregated on the outside
OF the polling place. waiting to hear the re-
turns, and Il few minutes later the crowd
surged through the door and took possess
sion of the polling place. The crowd was
well supplied with revolvers. and flourished
them freely. The mob numbered about
twenty men and Officer Shea and the
1t.
The judges at the place were: George G.
Wishmeier OF No. 22l7A Sullivan avenue;

Robert Pellster. residence net known, and
Charles Drauschmidt. foreman Of the Amer
lean Woodworkers' Association. The clerks
were: Edwerd Lynn, No. 31G North Twen-
ty-third street. and William Plotie.
The. judges and clerks had just finished
counting 42O ballots cast. when the first
dispute started among the challengers, IT
is said, because some of them were not
satisfied with the results. Wishmeier says
fbs TO Gs the 6a9ts out t5an
agreed to take the ballot box to the police
station and recount the votes. Just as the
Judges and clerks were preparing to leave
the building. the mob forced open the door
and took possession.
Wishmeier gave the following account Of
tho trouble:
''There had been disputes over some of

ballots were being counted. When we had |
finished the count. some of the challengers |
raised objections to the result. and a squab- |
