NO OUTBREAK BEFORE THE SHOOTING
Previous to the shooting of Smith Walsh and
Rooney there had been no serious ARRAYS in the
city, although there were slight collisions be
tween the soldiers and rioters that indicated
that there might be conflicts of a regrettahle
nature. Early this morning the officers OF the
National Guard took stems to prepare for the
running OF the cars Of the United Traction Com
psny by stationing all along the line OF
one Of the chief routes Of that company ex-
tending from the barn Of the company in
Qusil-st., along that street 10 Madison-ave and
thence through that avenue. Lark-st., Washing
ton-ave. state-st. and Broadway 10 the northern
border OF the city. 1t was three miles. and
some Of il in narrow streets.
Battalion manned the streets 10 Broadway and
state-st, but from that point northwsrd to the
city line the route of the railway company was
guarded by the ID Regiment Colonel Lloyd of
the I'd Regiment found bricks piled upon the
fat roofs OF many houses along Broadway. and
instantly warned the occupants Of these build
ings that II brick was thrown at the soldiers
stern reprisal would be made.
The 23d Regiment first cleared the neighbor-
hood OF the carhouse in Quail-st The junction
Of central-ave, Quai-st. and Central-aye., was
blocked with a solid mass OF people. and one OF
the first things done by the troops was TO clear
the street in that direction. Company A. of the
10Th Battalion. under command of Captain
Praeger assigned 10 this. and went for
ward the double quick. The crowd fell back
quickly, and was pushed northward along Quail
ST. 10 a point about one hundred feet beyond
Central-ave. Pauly's saloon. at Central-ave. and
ouail-st., and Wendss saloon, near by. were
quickly filled by people getting out OF the way

AS soon as the northern picket line had been
established Captain Praeger detailed squads to
clear these saloons. and II was done in a
twinkllng In Pauy's saloon the soldiers came
in with rush and started TO hustle the Oc-
cupants into the street. George Booze. an
elderly man. got in the way Of a bayonet and
received wound in the cheek II was not Sc
rious AS as the saloons had been cleared
they were ordered closed and sentries were
stationed in front OF them.
Captain Praeger then turned his attention TO
the houses along the street and ordered all
windows closed. Guardsmen ran along from

CARS GUARDED BY 23DS MEN.
When the neighborhood OF the car barn had
been thus protected six cars were run out. and
were filed with soldiers chiefly members of the
23d Regiment. This cavalcade OF cars and SOL

toll down State-st. 10 Broadway and northward
along Broadway nearly TO the city line There
were fifteen thousand people on the streets
watching this demonstration, but no serious hos
tility shown. All the streets were lined
with people and the shouting Of 'scab," was
frequently heard, but not often in concert. In
a window OF the Directory Hotel a man shouted
as the first car passed; "You'n find this amt ST.
Louis" 1t was particularly noticeable that al
though the new men Of the railroad company
seemed not 10 notice the remarks flung at them,
