counter followed. Blows with clubs
and bare fists were exchanged, and
the street was crowded with a fighting
mob. Stones flew thick.
Special Policeman A. H. Templeton
ran to the scene of the trouble, seized
several Of the men and tried to pull
them apart. He was hurled to the
ground by the strikers, who kicked
and beat him.
Templeton raised himself to his
knees and fired shot in the face Of
the mob, which Immediately scattered
