not as numerous as police had feared.
Two women were killed when struck

Stray bullets from celebrantS who
preferred guns for noisemaking resulted
in several persons being wounded. A
woman, standing looking from third

fired in the street and was wounded,
a)ossibly fatally. A street car conductor
was shot in the left eye as he stepped
from the platform of his car.
