StUNin0 orickiayets Cause TroUoSes
Mason City.-A riot was mar.
rowly averted here Sunday. Satur.
day night there was serious trouble
between some bricklayers who had
been on strike and the police force
Of the city.
Deputy Sheriff James Buchanan,
acting in the absence Of the sheriff,
was assisting the police and was
struck over the head with club. He
pulled his revolver and shot William
Miehn, one of the rioters, inflicting
an ugly wound in the arm. This still
further enraged the rioters and they
plotted, according to report, to clean
out the force.
Chief Of Police Thomas Locke took
hand in the game and arrested one
OF the men on the ground that he
was drunk and was taking him to the
jail when the others interfered.
The chief was knocked down but
the presence of other officers and the
promiscuous use of the billies kept
the rieters back and the offender was
jailed.
