Italians were ordered TO come out. 4
shot was fired, the crowd claiming that
it came from inside the tents. The
shot was the signal for a general vol
ley and the night rang to the reports
of revolvers, shot guns and rifles and
the quiet air was pretty Thoroughly
punctured, the boys having the good
sense to shoot straight up most OF the
time. Our informant says the italians
kept up the shooting and that three of
the attacking party were scratched
by bullets. Several hundred shots
we're fired and then the crowd
rushed the tents and grabbed all the
occupants who did not crawl from UNI
der and escape. Eleven we're thus
Sc zed and marched to the Santa Fe
depot, u man holding eacharm. Most
of those who escaped ran through the
creek and wildly out through the
woods. One old man appeared with
his eye all bruised, having eenknock-
ed from his perch in tree with aclub.
Others we're scratched by barbed wire
and branches of trees and damp from
the creek, while all we're scared within
an inch of their lives and the crowd
yelled and ierked and cursed them.
They we're informed that they had shot
one man and would be hung, but as
only two understood English this
threat doubtless lost some ofits terror.
The march to the depot was without
incident. Several hundred sightseers
accompanied the procession and
gathered on the platform when the
prisoners were placed in the south
waiting room. The question of the
disposition of the Italians then arose
but no satisfactory solution was
found, it being the simple plan to push
them aboard north bound train and
let them rustic for themselves.
The Italians we're hatless, coatless
and some OF them bare.footed and the
pity of the crowd was aroused. An
extra freight came through and the
eleven were led out and told to get
aboard, but ''aboard," meant on top
of an open coal car and this seemed
too brutal. a young, shock-headed
boy, coatless and barefooted, sobbed
his pain and fright and griefinmighty
plain English and without a word they
we're returned to the waiting room.
Several persons were sent with an ex-
press wagon to get the baggage of the
party and all the belongings to be
found, but before it arrived Sheriff
Hobart and Lutte Hutton came poking
through the open window.

seized as leaders and hurried away,

George Smith was placed under $500
and his trial set for May Is, before
Justice Potter. Smith is a laborer
and lives on north State street. 1t is
said he was spotted when managing
the crew who went to the cement plant
to secure the baggage Of the Italians,
j. NJ. Warford was placed under 5000
bond and his trial set for the 10Th

probably be tried the same day.
Warford is suffering from collapse

been caught at the depot in the act of

Jack Balthorpe, the,little hunchback
whose father runs the candy and fruit
stand under the REGISTER stairs, is
still in Jail, his father having been
out fishing at the time of the trouble
and not learning until this morning
that his son was locked up. In this
case there also seems to be a misun-
derstanding, young Balthorpe suffer-
ing from a striking resemblance to a
youngster who was very much in evil
dence during the trouble.
The charge made against the men is
rioting, which includes all the minor
offenses of violence, carrying and
shooting off firearms, destruction of
property, etc. The penalty of rioting
is fine not to exceed $500.
Those who were present say there
was u comical side to the riot. Bal
thorpe's double, for instance, is about
four feet tall, but he staggered up the
street grasping siX-foot Dago by the
arm, cussing him and telling him to
step along. With his free hand he
dragged a revolver so long that it
knocked on the ground at every step.
A mob of kids got into the game early,
armed with stones and they did valiant
service until the firing began, when q
score of them jumped off the high
south bank of the creek and waded

A representative of the REGISTER
sought Mr. j, A, Wheeler, manager
of the Cement Plant, and asked him
for his version OF the affair. After
giving the facts substantially as they
are reported above Mr.. Wheeler said:
"We brought these men here very

JUDGE that always follows such action.
