CHURCH SCENE OF A RIOT.
Police Are Called to Quiet Congrega-
ton of Joliet, ILL.,,
Church.

=, Joliet, Ill, May 4.-Men and women
fought hand to-hand with each other and
then with the police in the Slavonic Ro-
man Catholic church yesterday.
The trouble was started by several
women as the collectors were circulating
thru the church. There were 1000 per-
sons in the church, In spite of all the
protestations of Father Kollar and as
sistants the members fought with pieces
of furniture, knocking each other right
and left Some one called the police
In few minutes a patrol wagon drove
up and the men hurriedy entered into
the edifice, which was full of thwacks,
din and turmoil. A few men had been
penned into corner by number of
angry women, who punished them with
clenched hands and books.
Some of the combatants had fed to the
street. AS the police entered those on
the outside returned, armed with clubs,
stones and -revolvers. Those within left
off fighting each other and unitedly beset
the police. Those from without fired at
the patrolmen from the rear Women and
children cried out in terror and many
men ran from the church or leaped out
of the windows. Then the policemen drew
revolvers and threatened to shoot The
anrlghted combatants ceased fighting and
the policemen began to make arrests. OF
all the persons injured none had to be
taken to a hospital. Father Kollar who
rushed into the midst of the fight to calm
his parishioners, escaped uninjured. Many
arrests were made.
No one knows exactly who started the
fight or what 1t was about. ii.
