different points in the city.
At frequent intervals all evening
trucks were bringing negro refugees
from burning sections to augment the
covering groups at the municipal
building and the police headquarters
where a strong guard of troops was
stationed.
Terror spread among the black men
and women at 1890 p. m. when all the
lights in both refuge buildings sud
denly went out, but the cutting off of
the current was attributed to the de-
struction of electric wires in the
downtown district
When a report came to Colonel
Trip, commanding the guards that
negro inhabitants at Brooklyn, Ill., Il
city entirely populated by negroes,
We're moving on East St Louis, he
sent a truck full of guardsmen to the
black" bridge to meet any attack
that might be attempted
At the same time another truckload
of soldiers was rushed to. q corner near
the postoffice where negroes barricad-
ed in upstairs quarters had been firing
at soldiers standing guard in the street
below
AT st. Mary's hospital it was stated
about forty negroes had been brought
in injured and that six white men were
being cared for there. Almost an
equal number of both whites and
blacks were receiving care at the Dea-
coness hospital.
The worst property damage was done
| along the tracks of the Southern Rail
road company where the southern
warehouse and between 100 and 15C
cars, many of them loaded with mer-
chandise were consumed by flames
| The damage here was estimated al
between 100000 and 100000
The Broadway theater, valued 'at
! 100000, was entirely destroyed and al
II p. m. the flames were moving stead
/ lily along the tracks, almost unhindere(
by the feeble efforts of the firemen.
The entire attention of the fire fight
ers was given to preventing the blaze
from spreading to more importan
buildings.
Colonel Trip stated at 80 O'CLOCK
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1917-07-03


claimed the soldiers put more vlSof
into their attempts to quen the mob.
Seventy-five white men attacked
negro in front of a drug store and at
tempted to drag him to pole, beating
him as they pulled him along. The
troops charged the mob with fixed bay
onets and the rioters scattered Before
the troops arrived the negro was shot
twice
With this show of force the rioters
in part quoted down. Troops stood
on guard at all corners and kept the
crowd moving. Many persons were ad-
vised to go home.
At $50 o'clock fire broke out in the
district known as the valley at Third
street and st. Louis avenue. This frs
came perilously near to the railroad
yards at East st. Louis.
At 9 o'clock four negroes were shot
by snipers at Ninth and Missouri
avenues
The number of dead shortly after II
o'clock last night was variouslN esti-
mated at from Is to rs, of whom two
We're white men. Forty injured
negroes and six injured white men
were in one hospital and almost an
equal number in another.
City Attorney Thomas J. Fekete es-
timated the damage at $3,000,000,
which was believed by some to be too
high
Buildings were still burning AZ four

ure would prevent any serious out
break tonight. At o'clock police
and guardsmen began moving negro
men and women and children to St
Louis, Mo-, in motor trucks in order
that they might be out of danger
during the night.
The immediate cause of the rioting
was the outbreak OF negroes late
Sunday night, but for several days
there had been evidences of bad
blood, and on Saturday night several
minor clashes between whites and
blacks occurred.
The clashes Saturday night appar-
emily alarmed the negro quarters of
the city, or at least gave agitators
a chance to organize the negroes for
fighting. When word was telephoned
to police headquarters that the ring
ing of a church bell had called the
armed negroes together, an automo-
bile loaded with police left for the

ficerS were greeted with a Volley
Detective Sergeant Coppedge was
killed and three policemen wounded
Police reinforcements early Mon
day morning dispersed the negroes
and Mayor hoffman asked Governor
Lowden to send national guardsmen
here to preserve order.
Two companies of the guard were
| assigned to duty in the negro quar-
ter. Up to that time, the streets
were quiet and it seemed that tbs
day would pass without renewal OF
the rioting. As the morning wore on
! crowds began to congregate in the
| streets, and, encouraged by the alb
| sence of the troops from the down
| town section, agitatOrs began then
work of inflaming the mob
One of the national guard com
! panieS then was ordered from tn,
negro quarter to the business sec
tion but the arrival of the troop.
seemed to arouse the mobs to fur
/ Their aggression. No accurate coun
! of the number of negroes attacked
during the day was obtainable, many
! getting away with slight injuries
