iooprotection. As he mounted the steps
leading to the sacristy ho was confronted
by six Poles, who rudely pushed him to
the ground and declined to permit him to

Knocked Down the Priest.
The priest decided to get in through the
, front door and proceeded in that direction.
He had not reached the platform when he
was again knocked to the ground, and a
volley of missiles hurled in his direction.
A large stone struck Officer Jones square
in the face, smashing his nose and blind-
ing him for the moment. Chief Gallagher
’ rushed to his assistance, but as he did so
he was felled by a blow from a club, split-
ting his head open.
Burg McLaughlin then escorted the
id.“ l: to his house. Seeing that the
ores of officers was entirely inadequate to
control the mob he began drafting citizens
to not “deputies. The friends of the priest
began arriving in large numbers.
The crowd of Poles stood back with an
ominous silence and ready for the signal.
The eruption which was gradually ap-
proaching suddenly burst forth, and the
few officers were carried along with the
surging mass. To protect themselves the
ofllcors were at length obliged to fire.
The first shot was fired skyward and in-
tended to simply terrorize the mob. but
unfortunately the bullet. as it sped up-
ward, hit Victor Tipnoky, who was stand-
ing on the platform, and as he tumbled
forward a howl of rage went up from the
mob.
Firing Kept lip Half an Hour.
The Poles were heavily unucd. and for
half an hour firing was kept up incessant-
ly. The noise of the firearms and shouts
of frenzied men, together with screams of
terrorized wmuen. created pandemonium.
Wounded men lay here and them, while
the place was thickly strewn with the
clubs and stones which had been used as
weapons. All of those who were able to
find to escape arrest. and many of those
who could not were carried away by their
friends before the oilh-crs reverend from
their demoralized condition.
The entire police force was so badly used
up that it took some time for them to rally
and attempt making an arrest. Even then
the few straggling bolligerents were too
much for the oflleors, and it was only aft-
er the moist diillculty that four men
were locked up. They are John llamosis-
. kl, Frank Wanski. Stanislaus 'l‘omply and
Joseph (‘nisimski-y.
During the progress of the riot the en.
the town became alarmed. Persons with
cd from their homes, crowding the streets
and adding to thcexcitcuwut which mlgn-
ed. The streets were throngs-d all the. aft.
moon with excited Poles and Lithua-
nians, and another outbreak is feared.
The deputies sworn in by the harness
are still on duty, and their presence at
present la the only thimz which hour») or-
der. For the bloodshmi the Poles have al-
my sworn Vengeance. and unless so u-
mary measures are taken to brinutlu- hurl—
ers of the outrage to justice another riot
will surely follow.
