A riot followed the running down by

billing party with sticks and stones, and

parents and two brothers on charges
of felonlous assault. The victim was
not seriously hurt.
Cries of Lynch theml" and 'Don't
let them get awayl" followed the re-
moval of the boy TO st. Mnry's Hos

dead, accorded rough treatment TO two
of the sutoists, whom they dragged
from the machine. Many of the rioters
were in turn severely beaten before the
reserves were able to rescue the
autoists.

two children; their nephew, Joseph

and when they refused to place Stron-
gin and Freelsnd under arrest the
crowd took matters into its own hands.
Led by the boys parents, brothers
and sister, the mob dragged Freeland
and Cutler from their seats. When the
police tried to hold the crowd at bay
stones were resorted to. and Christen-
sen was badly hurt by being struck In
the face. Both Of the patrolmen, as
we'll as Freeland and Cutler, were
beaten by the rioters.
Others of the crowd started to wreck
the automobile, and meanwhile a call
was sent to the Brownsville police sta
ton for the reserves. Although Brown
and Christensen drew their guns, order
was not restored until the arrival of
the additional police. Scores Of the
rioters were beaten by patrolmen's
nightsticks before the crowd, finally
Rwed by dozen levelled revolYers,
permitted the Automobiles to escape.
