-Four we're injured in an attack on
the steamer, Dick Fowler, carrying
500 excursionists, by 20 men yester-
day afternoon at Smithland. Rocks
were hurried promiscuously into the
crowd on the boat and the fact that
so few were injured is considered
wonderful. Because of the crowd It
was impossible TO get all passengers
inside the cabin, and, hundreds had
to stand on the hurricane deck and
on the cabin deck fully exposed to the
rocks.
It was 4:45 o'clock when the boat
left the Smithland bank. A party of
boys stood on the hurricane deck and
started the bombardment. Mr. John
Holmes and his invalid mother sat
just under the headlight on the same
deck. Mrs. Holmes is forced to walk
on crutches, and when the fusillade
began could not in the short time
seek shelter. Mr.. Holmes, chief en-
gineer of the water company, stood
bravely in front of his aged mother
and sheltered her. Several large
rocks narrowly missed them, and
Captain Mark Cole, standing on the
headlight bridge was also in danger.
and kept lodging to escape the mis-
siles.
'The row was started by a rowdy
element on the boat, boys about 16
years old who came upon the boat
with rocks" Capt. Mark Cole de
clared." The mate made several
empty their pockets, suspecting that
they would start trouble. Banana
Feelings we're wadded up and thrown
ashore first, and later a rock was
hurled into the crowd on the bank.
This started the fusillade and rocks
of every size began coming. 1t is
really wonderful that some we're not
seriously wounded"
Captain Cole rushed to the side OF
a young lady who was struck in the
face. She was not badly injured
and FASTENED below to dress the
wound. Her name was not secured.
w. II. Clement. former street
car conductor, of 1347 South Third

Detective Will Baker was struck

The greatest excitement prevailed
and It Is said some of those guilty are

will carry to Smithland." a member
