Renewed Outbreaks, on Sunday, in

No Ono Hurt, but Things Looked

Pawtucket, r. l., June 15.-The
presence of 700 armed men sent by
Gov Kimball to restore order here had
little influence except in the central
parts of the city, today, where the
soldiers formed an invincible guard,
and, this afternoon, rioting broke out
anew in the suburbs and spread to the
neighboring city of Central Falls.
The resumption of the electric ser
vice which had been abandoned since
Thursday was the signal for q dozen
or more demonstrations at points
where neither soldiers or police were
stationed and the character Of the at
tacks grew constantly until the Trac-
ton CO. was forced to abandon the
car service.
The disorders extended over 50 great

in safety under the present conditions.
The tracks were obstructed and the
cars were pelted vigorously with stones
by the mobs which lined the routes
of progress not only in the suburbs
of this city but in Central Falls as
well. Many of the employees We're
struck by missiles, some Of whom We're
injured while in the performance of
their duty, and the rolling stock was
injured.
A mob of 5000 gathered around one
car in Central Falls and their attitude
was so threatening that machine gun
was loaded and two companies of ma
rines were ordered to charge the crowd.
This prompt action brought about re-
suits and the car proceeded, but the
line WAS then abandoned.
The marines then marched through
the city and at another point the ma
chine gun was made ready for action
when it became apparent that an out
burst was imminent.
Mayor Fales Of Central Falls, not
having requested military protection
from the governor, asked that the
troops be withdrawn, and this was
done after two hours OF service.
The attacks on the men We're even
more determined in Central Falls than
in Pawtucket, and in one instance a
torpedo was placed on the track and
exploded under car with such force
that the forward trucks We're raised
