Keys and Detective Magic had taken a
stand. The four faced the mob for
five minutes, telling them that the en-
ployes had gone out by the rear and
the works were closed down. Someone

stones rainef against the side Of the
mill and the windows in a perfect
shower. From the mill volleys were
hurled at the officers and all four were
struck several times. A section of the

With revolvers drawn the officers
quickly deployed and the mob fell
back. A block away Galleano again
appeared and led the mob through
Temple street to Pelgram & Meyers
mill. where the employees were COM

The Hall mill. which shelters four
silk working firms, was the next point

stand aside and on refusing he was at

but none took effect.
Fire Department Called Out.
It was about this time that Mayor
Hinchclife called on the firemen for
aid and men were detailed from each
company and armed, and during the
afternoon rendered efficient service.
The shooting seemed to scatter the
rioters, but it was not long before a
dense mob had formed again, this
time about the Gaede mill on North
Straight street, where there was a
crowd of about 1000. The mill was
bombarded and before the mob stopped
there was not whole window in the
building.
Harry Harris, a reporter on the
Morning Call, was at this point. He
was armed with a revolver and had a
camera with which he attempted to
take pictures. His act of training the
camera was seen and he was warned
to desist. A moment later rain of
stones fell about him and he was
knocked down. AS he fell men rushed
on him and he was kicked and beaten.
He drew his revolver and tried to use
it, but it jammed and was kicked from
his hand. A man grabbed it and
fired at Harris, the bullet entering his
chest. He has slight chance of recov-
cry. BY this time the mill was emp

cally ended the rioting for the day, aft
er all of the mills had closed down.
The anarchists, who seemed to be in
command, were openly threatening
that a po1iceman's life would pay for
each wounded rioter.
