Several miners followed him, it is said, and in a saloon near the outskirts of Collins- ville told~the patrons of Prager’s. al- leged disloyalty. Reports indicate that the desire to penalize Prager had its inception there, rapidly spreading. The men are said to have gone shouting up the streets, gathering re- cruits from every saloon. By the time the’ city hall was reached a crowd of 350 or more had assembled. Police officers, however, have only dim recollections of the mob's person- nel and have made no statement as to its being ‘drunken.” The saloons were closed while the first demonstra- tion over Prager was in progress, more than an hour before he was tak- eu from the city hall and hanged.
