Springfield, Ill.-A genuine scare
was caused at the headquarters in the
arsenal Sunday night after a squad
had been sent to dispense a crowd at
Allen and Spring streets. Five min.
utes later a report reached Lieut.. Col.
Eddy that shots had been fired in the
threatened district. He Immediately
sent a full platoon to the place to re-
inforce the squad. When the addi-
tional soldiers appeared the crowd
broke and ran. The soldiers pursued
them for several blocks and the dis
trict. which is near the scene of Sat
urday nights l%ynching, was in an up
roar for a few minutes. The arsenal
was crowded Sunday night with ne
gro refugees from Springfield and sur
rounding towns. About 200 men,
women and children sought the shelter
of che building and slept on the floor
or in chairs. Most of these people
were old and infirm, but they endured
the hardships of their quarters rather
than face the prospects of passing
the night in their homes beset with
momentary fears of attack.
