causing 1t to break and to fall into a pool
of water at Forbes and Oakland avenues.
The pool was alive with 1900 volts and the
four persons met death by falling into the
pool.
Shortly after the wire fell into the puddle
Joseph Visa, while running through the
binding rain to seek shelter, stepped into
the pool and dropped dead. Those who saw
Visa fall were unable to rescue him at the
time, and while means of recovering the
body were under discussion carriage con-
tanning ten persons came dashing down the
street to escape the rain. Shouts of warn
ing were not understood. One horse plunged
into the electrified water and fell paralyzed.
The occupants of the carriage alarmed by
the unexplainable falling of the horse and
by the frantic cries of the onlookers, be-
gan to jump from the vehicle. Four leaped
from the side of the vehicle away from the
pool and escaped. Francesca Stall, twenty

MIR. BRYAN'S FINE HAND
1T is APPARENT IN MOVEMENT FOR
NEW DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.
Meeting Of His Forces at the Grand
Yesterday to Form Indiana JEFF.
ferson League.

A movement toward the formation of an
Indiana league of Democratic clubs similar
in purpose and nature to the Republican
Lincoln League was launched here yester-
day at a meeting of prominent Democrats
at the Grand Hotel. Edgar 7. Names. OF
Zionsville. outlined plans for the organiza-
ton of such a league, with the following
avowed purposes:
First-To fight for Democratic principles
at all times,
Second-To aid the party in achieving vic
tory at the polls.
The new organization will in no way con-
f1ict with any Democratic organizations now
in existence.
1t is proposed to call the new organiza-
ton the Indiana Jefferson League"
Among those who attended the conference
were John w. Kern, of Indianapolis; Leroy
Armstrong, of Lafayette; Louis j. Herman
and William Reister. of Evansville; A. j.
Padgett. of Washington; Joseph B. Cheadle
and F'lavius j. Van Vorhis, of Indianapolis.
ment and the men who are taking the in
ltiative, as we'll as in the proposed name,
that the Indiana Jefferson League will be a
Bryan organization first, last and all the
time. Mr.. Bryan's fine Italian hand is evi-
dent in every feature of the affair. He
conducted an "old-time" Fourth of July
celebration yesterday at his home near Lin
coin, and 1t is altogether probable that he
is starting new national movement along
these lines on this auspicious occasion.

that the local authorities were helpless to
control the riotous crowd. he telephoned
to nearby places for police assistance. Aid
arrived at Z o'clock. but the mob had dis
persed. The summoned officers, however,
were placed In charge of the town for the
time being and call was issued for the
selectmen to meet for action in the emer-
gency.
The mob was composed OF about 500 young
men and boys. The trouble began at mid
night. The rioters first went about town
starting fires. three of which were set in
houses. The others were bonfres Then
the mob began smashing windows and
doing other damage. After several warn
ings Deputy Sheriff Lincoln and Policeman
Hatch arrested Charles White. The crowd
attempted to rescue White, but the officers
succeeded In getting the man to the lock-
up When the officers returned to the
street the crowd surrounded them demand
ing the release of their comrade Some
one fired revolver loaded with a blank
cartridge full into the deputy sheriffs face
and it Is feared the sight of one eye will
be destroyed
After the momentary quiet following the
injury to the duputy the mob sent up the
cry to lynch Hatch. The crowd started in

taken. The mob forced him TO go to Judge
Washburns house and ask that a special
session of the Police Court be held so that
White could be set free or admitted to bail
This Judge Washburn refused to do The
crowd retaliated by q fusillade of stones
against the judges house. Then they went
to the town house, where White was con-
fined. They tried to batter down the doors
and not succeeding broke the windows but
did not get at the prisoner. In the mean
time Judge Washburn had telephoned to
nearby towns for assistance and at O'Clock
six deputies from Brockton. two from
Wareham and three from Bridgewater ar

IL is understood that last nights tumult
was the outcome of plans made some time
ago by an element in the town known to be
opposed to the so-called reform party,
which at present is in control of affairs.
