volvers at Thirty-ffth street and Wa
bash avenue. Before many hours pass
ed the outbreaks spread to the Stock
Yards district, to Thirty-fifth and Hal
stead streets, all through the "black
belt" and into the Hyde Park district.

city was rushed to the scene; former
soldiers were sworn in; the National
Guard and the reserve militia regi-
