Grace Orr Shot When
Troops Attempt to Clear
Streets of UniOnists
1876 FIRES SINCE
WEDNESDAY IN CITY
Sein Feiners Attack Unarmed Shipyard
Workers-Four Dead in Today's Out
break and Eight Killed Saturday
Night.

BELFAST, Aug. 30-Today's rioting
was said by the police to be the worst
Belfast had yet seen. Up to l O'Clock
this afternoon it was definitely known
that four deaths had occurred as re-
suit of the disorders. These included
Grace Orr, who was shot when troops
opened fire to clear street in the I'm
ionist quarter. Numerous persons with
bullet wounds were admitted to the
Royal Victoria and Mater hospital.
Unarmed shipyard employees were at
tackled on their way to work by Sim
Feiners and shooting soon began. Sol
diers arrived soon after the disorder
commenced and assumed a firing position
across the street, giving the crowd three
minutes to clear the thoroughfare. Most
of the people fled to cover. There have
been l35 fires since Wednesday.
Eight men dead is the toll of Saturday
nights fighting in Belfast.
A feature of the riOting was the eX-
tent of the destruction of property by
incendiarism The fire brigade had an
especially hard time during the night in
fighting the flames Their work was rem
dered hazardous by the constant rattle
Of machine guns The Sim Feiners were
in strong force and appeared to be well
supplied with arms and ammunition.
The greatest of bitterness was dis
played during the fighting. There was
a great amount of wrecking of houses
and the burning of furniture, both in
doors and on the street.
The yells of the mob, and the shrieks
of women and children and the groans
of the injured were audible throughout
the fighting When the rioting was at
its worst women could be seen, clad in
their night attire, rushing from their
homes, attempting to lead their families
from the danger zone.
The excitement was intense until 10
o'clock Sunday morning. Isolated firing
was to be heard throughout the forenoon,
and the people were apprehensive lest
there should be a renewal of the disor-
ders at nightfall.
Three attempts We're made to burn
the Independent labor party hall. The
last attempt resulted in serious damage
to the building.
