OPEN VERDICT AT
IRAMP'S INQUEST
Find Clarence Hemme Game to
His Death From Injuries
Received in Wreck.

The corcner's jury that investigated
the cause of the death Of Clarence
Hemme, the tramp who was fatally in
jured in the railroad wreck that oc-
Cured one mile east Of Colona Tues

pital shortly after, found that he came
to his death from injuries received
while riding in car loaded with steel

wreckage piled on one side of the
tracks. The rumor lacks veriAcation
however. The tramp's body will be
sent to Erie, Pa, tonight for burial.

accompanied by riots, was brought

warl with the sum of $3.50 any of his
so'G rs who ran through any Alsa-
tian vagabond'' molesting him.
A crowd of anghy residents waylaid
the lieutenant at house where he
was making O call and he was obliged
to send for a squad of soldiers, who,
armed with loaded rifles, escorted him
to his residence.
In the evening thousands of people
besieged the officers club. The police
were powerless and the firemen were
summoned to dispense the crowd with
the help of their hose. but the pipes
were soon cut. Troops were then
called out and with loaded rifles and
fixed bayonets cleared the street.
A sergeant of the regiment who was
reported to have told the recruits he
would add ''75 cents to the lieuten-
ants 81. 90" was caught, dragged into
an alley and badly beaten.
No denial has been issued of the
lieutenant's remarks.
