A NEGRO ELECTION RIOT
At Polling Place I'm st. Louis-The
Ballot Box stolen.

St Louis February 1I.-More than
lice and two negroes wounded and
a ballot box was stolen in the course
of a riot about the Second district poll
ing place of the Fourth ward at
Twelfth and Linden streets early this
evening.
L was only after a riot call a
brought Captain Kelly. with forty po-
licemen and riot guns. to the scene
that a semblance of order was restor-
ed. Even then the streets were filled
with negroes and some white men. all
OF whom were armed. many of them
intoxicated and looking for trouble.
Not a ballot was cast there during the
day.
The trouble had been brewing all tho
afternoon. When 1t came time to open
the polls h Tinker judges had not yet
arrived. Later the Tinker men dis
agreed with the Wells men as to the
ACCESSIBILITY Of opening the back door
of the polling place.
The Noonan crowd claimed that both
the other factions were iockeying to
prevent any voting whatever because,
they said. the ward was overwhelming
ly for CONAN The judges being un-
able to agree, no voting was done.
Rumor has ii hat the first man to
draw a revolver was a negro named
Arthur Gardiner. Immediately the
street became the scene of q fusillade.
Every man drew one or two revolvers.
Judge John j. Ryan ran out from
his desk to the street and shot square
ly at a negro advancing upon the
booth, CUR in hand. There was no
time to make arrests. but the police
under Sergeant Quinlivan rushed on
the rioters. attempting to disarm them
1t was while he was arresting George
Munroe. who had resisted the attempt
to disarm him, that Sergeant Quinli-
a was shot. Detective McGratah
ran to his assistance. disarmed the
negro and in the midst OF a scattering
fire wrapped a handkerchief about the
sergeant's wounded leg to stop the
flow OF blood from a severed artery.
Ten policemen were on the spot within
a few minutes and succeeded in quell-
ing the riot and dispeI sing the 200 ne
groes who had figured most prominent
~ in the ARRAY. After order had been
restored it was found the ballot box
had been stolen.
