ter while others hurried to their
nearby homes for revolvers and ri
fies. And, in less than an hour,
there was a general battle in which
more than one hundred whites were
injured by weapons Of various kinds.
The news Of the strife spread to
every section of the South side and
at several points such as 31st and
State, 39th and State, thousands Of
people gathered ard talked In low
tones over the situation. Between
sun set and Sunday night and early
Monday morning, there were more
than a dozen fights in which more
than two hundred were injured,
some fatally, and score of the po-
licemen. Hundreds of police reserves
and Four Hundred Mounted Police
were called out Sunday night to
quell the disturbance. Chief of Po-
lice Garriety, his assistant Alcock,
Mayor Thompson and leading organi-
cations of people of both races are
doing all possible to restore peace.
Much damage has been done by
both races to street cars; Colored
men and women beating up white
people on cars running through the
Southside district, while whites have
been furious in their treatment of
Colored people on street cars rum
ing through Wentworth Avenue. and
Halsted Street and on cross lines.
Mayor Thompson declared condi-
tions are very serious and must be
carefully studied to get at the cause
of the trouble and the means of cor
recting it at once. 1t is claimed by
some that more than two thousand
Springfield rifles with considerable
ammunition are in the hands of the
Colored people or the Sodthside. This
statement is denied by Alderman r.
R. Jackson, Colored and others. How
ever it is well known that the ma
jority Of the people are strongly arm
cd.
At time of going to press, condi-
tions are fairly quiet, but by no
means under full control
