nuflS Crdtc OF eggs.
AS the Democratic legion, band blar-
ing, drums rolling and red fire glaring,
swept along Main street past the West
colt hotel some spiteful Republican
started row which almost resulted
in serious riot and which did result
in the storming of the hostelry by the
infuriated paraders.
This trOuble-maker ambushed in a
second floor room of the hotel, opened
fire on the paraders with eggs. He
was probably quite wealthy as eggs
now sell at As cents dozen and he
appeared to have quite a large supply
of ammunition. His fire was deadly.
The first egg sent new overcoat to
the dry cleaner, another egg exploded
then deluge of eggs dropped upon
men, women and children.
About one hundred angry men
charged into the hotel lobby and bolt
ed up the sairs to the fourth floor in
quest of the egg thrower but he had
made his escape before the mob could
lay hands on him It was fortunate
for him that he knew when to retreat.
Police Help Required.
With the mob ranging through the
hotel call for police assistance was
sent in and two officers arrived on
the scene while the mob was still on
the top floor of the hotel. They were
requested to drive the crowd into the
street and to arrest the unknown egg
thrower. Then these two preservers
of peace and order turned on their
heels and left the hotel.

ager of the Westcott, who has been
critically i'll for some time, he was re-
moved from the hotel yesterday after

Every fire company in town was kept

The celebrating crowd was, for the
most part, good natured one but
there were occasional clashes between

Numerous banners, provided by the

claiming Democracy's triumph, were
carried in the parade. Several women
were in the vanguard of the marching
column. One young woman carried a
banner reading: 81 Did Not Raise NY

Other banners read:
