black" Republican Party is very much

CROWD HELD AT BAY

BEFORE any serious harm had been
done. however, patrolmen Waymacf-
T;olinger and SandcrSon on duty m
that section, arrived at the scene Of
trouble and held the mob mt bay until
assistance arrived. a riot call was
sent to police headquarters and Ser
geant Gentry dispatched all the men
available, drawing OH every other
police station in the city 20 furnish
its quota. Fifty policemen, command
cd by LieutenantS Bryant, Ryan and
Campodonica and Sergeants Wiley
and Dubuque, were soon on the ground
and although three shots were fired
after their arrival, ala OF Them by col
ored people, no harm was done.
The police drew clubs and brandish
cd guns when the crowd refused to LIS
perse, but it was not necessary to use
the weapons rs the colored men gave
way as soon as it was impressed upon
them that the officers meant business.
Henry Conway, 1902 Hull street ana
G. II. Brown, of 40l1 Lawson street,
were arrested and held without bail
in the Third Station. Sam Neal, col

OTHER ARREST EXPECTED.
The names OF the colored people,
who tried to precipitate trouble by
firing shots are known to the police
