Following this battle the mob
stormed the company's barn on Fourth

The police were powerless. Sheriff
Edward McKinnon was ordered to
swear in deputies to preserve order
and save human life.
Previous to this time every police.
man on the force, specials and regu.
lars, was enlisted on night service,
but thousands Of men and boys pa
raded the streets in widest disorder.
The fire department was ordered
ready to dispense the mob with hose.
The rioting started when a parade
of striking car men and hundreds Of
sympathizers ended at Belknap and
Tower streets. Just as the band
from the east end and stopped at Og-
den and Belknap. The sound of shat
tered glass was the signal for the
mob to storm the car.
Stones, bricks and clubs were
thrown at the conductor. motorman
and policemen in the car.

received here which is to mark the
Mellette tree. This tree is an ASH
about 10 inches in diameter, and at
