INDIANA IN THROES OF RACE RIOT;
 GOV. DURBIN WILL DECLARE MARTIAL LAW

his side was Colonel Mccoy of the 1st regiment. Around them stood a few doc tors and reporters. When the firing had ceased, Captain Blum reformed his men and gave them orders. Keep that mop back. Call on them to halt; if they don't halt, shoot them down. We can't take any more chances. Men, be careful but for Gods sake keep a close watch. shouted the captain. and his men pre- pared for another struggle. It did not cone.
 The Rioters Scatter.
 The rioters got out of sight quickly, and fearing that another charge would be made scattered. They stood in knots around the corners in the vicinity. They could be heard at the jail arguing with themselves. Let's go get the - mur- derers," called one. Down with them; kill them,' and a score of cries were heard. A score of rioters tried to change their positions and were greeted with cries of halt, accompanied by the click ing of rifles. Within half hour things had become so quiet that care could be taken of the dead and injured. The wounded soldiers were taken into the jail Their injuries were slight and were dressed by Surgeons Tepee anx Achilles, who were there. They were taken to the court house and later to their homes. The others were picked up and taken to the hospitals and their homes. in amou- lances and carriages. This feat was ac- complished with difficulty, as only few men were brave enough to pick them up
 Charles Presley, r year old boy, was carried into the court house. Througn his wrist had gone a buckshot, and each of his feet were shot through the hee.s crying with pain. Others were more sto- teal. Many of them were taken away before their names could be learned. The Police Department and ambulance corps were anxious that too much be not learned by the reporters and it was with great difficulty that facts could be as- certained positively.
 Sixteen Negro Prisoners.
 After the shooting Colonel Mccoy tele- graphed Captain Mccoy of Company A, lst Regiment of Vincennes and tried to get him by telephone to have him order his company to Evansville to relieve com pany E. Sheriff Kratz looked to his dep uties and volunteers and handed out ann intuition to the defenders in the jail h. side the jail forty-three prisoners lay in the darkness. Sixteen of them negroes whose lives are far from safe if the mob attacks the jail again and effects cap ture The lights were turned out when the shooting began and the prisoners moaned and cried in their cells. Tele- phone messages were sent from the jail to the hospitals and to physicians calling for aid and to them the response was quick. Doctors from all over Evansville drove rapidly at the call.
 The Vincennes company of militia Is on it's way here and Colonel Mccoy fears another outbreak when 1t arrives. All is now quiet around the jail, the soldiers still standing under arms. outposts are stationed to avoid guerilla shooting from the streets with rifles. Governor Durbin has summoned a number of prominent citizens to confer with him at once over the telephone to decide what action should be taken.
