rather quiet than otherwise. Stone
throwing is reported from each side OF
the river and several persons were
struck, but so far as Is known no serious
trouble ensued.
One of the stones was thrown into a
car at Tenth and Main Streets about
$3.50 o'clock at night. a young man
named Frank Parker, who had Just come
in from Washington and who didn't
know there was strike on here, was
struck, and was painfully hurt. The
shock OF the blow lie received was SO
great that he had TO be taken to the
hospital. More stone throwing was re-
ported from Manchester. but with no
serious results. River View line was
again in evidence, hut. according to re-
ports received by Colonel Perry at the
Reservoir. there was nothing serious
