The Hindus attempted to defend
themselves, but against such odds
nothing could be done.
The mob by this time had gone
mad, and turned their energies
towards robbery. The mill pay
day was Saturday, and the greater
number of men had their money in
their belts. The amounts stolen
ranged from @8 to $roo. Several
reported losses of SIS, but the
average loss was $3o.
When the mob had completed its
work of destruction here, it went
to another house, where there were
a number of Hindus. Here the
same methods were used. Mr.. Box,
an old Hindu. was forced to jump
from second story window. Hts
leg was broken. Two other men
were grabbed aud thrown from the
window. One had nine-inch cash
on his forehead, and the other has
broken arm. Robbery was the
chief motive Of the mob. The
Hindus were knocked down like
cattle.
Chief of Police Bredeson attempt
ed to quell the rioters, but his
efforts were Of little account. Mayor
Hendricks also took a part in
checking the mob, but his talk only
made the men more desperate.
Small crowds of rioters hunted in.
dividual lodging places Of Hindus,
where they continued their assault
and robbery.
At 9 o clock a large number Of
the Hindus were placed aboard a |
car and sent to Portland. Other
members Of the colony kept follow
ing until this morning when rs
were allowed to pass the mill and
take car. This afternoon II was
reported that all the Hindus had
left and are being quartered in the
Hindu colony Ia Portland.
The management Of the mill were |
unable to do anything last evening, |
and what few Hindus worked on
the night shift left at midnight.
The members Of the St. Johns fire
were called by the
police chief to assist, but the mob
consisted Of fully aso men and
boys and greatly overnumbered the
police protection.
The Hindus receive SI.So a day,
while the other laborers receive
