One civilian was shot dead.
Five men were arrested in connec-

Ihe police commandeered all tele-

prevent further outbreaks bv con-
centratlng policemen along the line

Three youths. watching the sus-
plclouS movements of two men at
the cotton warehouse in Parliament
street, warned the police who chal-
lenged the suspects Thereupon the
latter bolted and fired upon the DO
ice, who pursued them. The police
men were unhurt but a bullet pierced
the heart of a youth, Daniel Ward
who was among those who had warn
ed the police. and he fell dead.
The fires, in some instances. were
quickly quenched. Others, in cot
ton warehouses, burned fiercely the
night long. One i'm the south end
and another in Booe:ie at the north

was careful organization. 1t was
round that all the locks on the ware
houses had been cut With bolt cut
ters. Many empty petrol cans were
found on the scene Each Ere was
started at more than one place. At
one timber yard there were three
separate outbreaks"
1T appears that for each building
marked for destruction there were
allotted gangs, numbering about four
10 nVe men, one of whom stood SEN
Try While the others cut the locks
and applied the einhammaDles.
Many fires Were suppressed in
their early stages, and in these cases
there was clear evidence of incen
diarism in the finding OF rags soaked
In parathn and empty petrol cans and
bolt cutters left behind.
THE most destructive fires were
IN two large cotton warehouses on
either side of Jordan street which
were not extnguished until o'clock
this morning when the buildings
were completely destroyed
1T Is impossible TO estimate the
total damage. but it is known it will
run into hundreds Of thousands of
pounds.
The man who shot Daniel Ward
escaped, but the police chased and
CAPTURED his accOmplice."
