heard the volunteers were bringing
them into the city.
The soldiers encountered detach-
ment of volunteers at CIonmell bridge
and an outbreak resulted, but there
was no shooting. Soon a great crowd
collected and followed the troops jeer-
ing them and cheering for John Red
mond, the Nationalist leader, and

bottles and stones, injuring several
soldiers. To this attack the battalion

driven off,

of the road along which the volunteers
were returning with soldiers in the
center of the road.

zation most of them got away with
their arms, scattering through the
fields. The police and soldiers tried to
disarm the remainder.

yer shots were fired by volunteers and
a corporal and private were wound
ed. The volunteers also used their
rifles as clubs
