The police station is located just west of the city hall. between Supe- rior street and Michigan street. with a front entrance on the former street, which is Duluths main business street. and a rear basement entrance on Michigan.
 On both streets the mob gathered, surging toward both front and rear entrances simultaneously. Word of it's coming had reached the police, and preparations had beeH made 10 put up fight with streams of water from the fire hose.
 The first concerted attack was made on the rear entrance. Near the building was a pile of bricks. and of this the mob took quick advan- tage. Bricks were sent flying through windows and against the rear door which finally gave in.
 This let the mob into the base ment and it started up the stairs leading to the first floor, strong streams of water washed it's members back. Bricks again were brought in- to play. and as the battle waged at the rear of the building, other mem bers of the mob obtained a section or fire hose made a connection st hvdrant and started an assault on the front entrance.
