was in a uproar. Several of the
walters lifted the wounded man
and fought their way with him
out of a side door and into a
clubhouse about fifteen yards
from the dining pavilion.
In the meantime Witsel's son,
Amiel, had grappled with Jordan
and aided by a dozen walters
rushed him through the rear door
into the kitchen. Jordan Lit in a
big black kettle full of boiled
potatoes. The hot water was still
on the potatoes. Some of the
wait rs barricaded the kitchen
door on the inside, while others
continued to hand Jordan a little
more punishment. In all, there
were fifty walters in the first
rush.
The mob, with one rush, not
only forced the door, but carried
the entire partition with it. From
that moment it was knocked
down and drag out for every
body. Plates and pitchers, cups
and saucers. knives and forks,
everything that the crazy mob
could lay hands on was hurled in
the direction of the walters. Big
bowls of soup were turned up
side down over the heads of the
fighters, mashed potatoes were
plastered over almost everybody
and everything. In the confu-
sion of flying victuals the fighters
lost all track of one another and
took to hitting head whe never
they saw one,
A police riot call was turned
in and 100 policemen were soor
on the scene. In solid phalan,
they fought their way into tn
hall with their clubs. A numbe
OF the leaders were arrested, the
riot suppressed and the in juret
who we're not sub jects for tn
ambulance dragged themselve
away.

they did their best to keep the

played on the plates with their
kniyss and forks when Jordan
got the notion that he wanted q
second helping of ice cream. The
waiter refused to serve it, and
then there were loud words be
