 number of policemen were painfully
 wounded by flying missiles. Fifty
 shots were fired. The first car, in
 charge of Motorman Fred Ninty of
 Chicago, and Conductor Kennedy,
 was accompanied by large force of
 policemen. As it approached the
 corner of Dorgenois street, members
 of the mob rushed out and tore up
 the planking from either side of the
 street and threw it across the track.
 The car was brought to a standstill and rush was made for the non-
