The fact that the building was in dark

Two Score Spectators Hurt
In Panic During Chicago Fight

The most seriously injured. 1t was
stated today at st. Luke's Hospital,
were Samuel Schurman, whose legs
were crushed and who was injured
internally when pushed over the
balcony; Samuel Shayne. whose legs
were crushed; Isaac Binzer internally
injured, and Henry Lansfield. The
latter two may not survive, it was said
ct the hospital.
The Coliseum Office today was piled
high with hats, coats and other cloth
ing which was forgotten in the rush
for safety. Women reported the loss of
furs, jewels and purses.
Several police officers were among the
injured and the list included also the
names of half dozen women, although
none was seriously hurt.
The best account of the actual start
of the trouble was that two Negroes,
one with knife, the other with pistol
started to fight. There was general
pushing away from the fighters and the
cry Of "fight,55 misunderstood as fire"
went UP. sM
An usher in the trouble zone said one
of the Negroes had offered to bet on
Fields, the white boxer, and that this
had angered the other Negro.
