The two persons injured reside in Mrs l Peck's block on North Riverside street. l near Summit street The trouble start ed at a Lithuanian wedding which was being celebrated in Stokes's block on l Riverside street near Bank street How l 1t started no one seems to know defi 1 nitely, but the facts are somewhat as l follows: The wedding guests were dancing in the hall sin the rear of l St0kes's saloon.
