| injuries.
At 1870 the rioting grew more Sc
rious. A negro was taken from a
street car, beaten and kicked and
then shot He died in an ambu-
lance. While this disturbance was
raging another car was halted,
White women and white girls board
ed it and, Selling shrieking negro
women, dragged them into the
street, where they were pounded
and kicked.
A few minutes later negro was
shot in the head. The crowd cheer
led as policemen put him in an am
bulanee National suardsmen wit
messed this scene, but did nothing
Ito dispense the mob.
r. AS the attacks continued under
takers lined their wagons along the
gan to shoot as the negroes were
dragged from the cars. William
Keyser, hardware merchant
|standing in front of his store OBJ
serving the rioting, was hit by a
stray bullet and died on the way
to the hospital.
By this time four companies OF
the Illinois national guard were pa
| trolling the streets, apparently with
, little effect on the mob. Fred Thay-
| er, white man, was sitting in &
second story window when he was
/! hit by a stray bullet.
i AS the mob seemed further than
lever from control, orders were Civ
I en- to hurry as many negroes as
possible out of the city. Auto
trucks were packed and the exodus
began.
Still the rioting continued and il
; became apparent that the mob was
bent on blood, even though the
cause of its grievance-the large
number of negroes in the city
was partly removed. One negro
who had gone to the relay depot
the local union station, was shol
and killed as he was waiting for {
train to take him out of town.
| The race troubles here began lat,
in May as result of the heavy in
i flux of negro laborers. No seriou!
strikes were on at the time of thu
May rioting, but labor leaders ex
pressed fear that the negro labol
was being imported to break antici
pated strikes during the summer
Employers denied that there was ;
