Western Newspaper Union News Service.
St. Louis. July 3.-In the jail at
East 81. Louis, 500 ringleaders Of the
mobs that battled, lynched and shot
armed negroes yesterday and last
night are prisoners and the edge is
taken from the mob spirit. Soldiers
are being rushed here and with bay
onets are clearing the streets. The
fires that brought millions OF dollars
In losses are believed under control.
Through the smoking ruins the khaki.
clad boys are prodding here, there and
everywhere, finding bodies of the
blacks. charred and burned In the
flames OF their own homes. Perhaps
the total dead will never be known,
but It may reach $50 and might even
go higher.
The hospitals are crowded with shot
and burned negroes. Negro women
with babes are there. Medical assist
ance asked for has arrived. 1t Is
thought by tonight all signs of the rot
will be over and quiet restored
The mobs in East st. Louis were
swelled by hundreds OF people who
early in the evening crossed the river
from st. Louis, Mo. This added such
a menace to the situation that at $3.50
o'clock the bridges were closed to all
vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Five negro sections Of the city were
fired by mobs. terrorized negroes fled
from the burning homes only to meet
bullets from tine guns OF the rioters
four other negroes were shot by snip
ers and two were lynched.
One white man was killed by a ne
gro sniper and before the burning be.
gan four negroes and one white man
were killed. This includes the detec-
tive sergeant whose death at the
hands Of negro mob was the direct
cause OF the outbreak.
Estimates OF the number Of dead
run up to $50 and higher. but these
estimates are purely conjectural. The
exact number slaughtered probably
will never be known. as It Is thought
that many bodies were consumed in
the flames.
Adjt. Gen. Frank s. Dickson arrived
and took charge Of the situation. He
said troops would be distributed in
small groups throughout the city and
that they would be instructed to dis
perse every gathering OF persons for
any purpose whatever.

then l could not help smiling bitter

Yes, but she said you hurried

band, but you must also tell her I

the stage since l knew he was mar
