Hun- dreds participated and shots were fired. Rocks and eggs were used fre- quently as weapons. Chief of Police Steven Quill was overpowered by a crowd and his revolver, handcuffs and night stick were stolen. State Patrolman Edwin V. Downey was struck on the head with a stone. Both factions blame the other for the disturbance which started when stones were hurled at 200 automo- biles containing klansmen as they passed through the square to the meeting place on a farm, near here. After rocks were hurled, shots were fired by occupants of a truck in the kiansiven’s porsession. » The answer was a shower of eggs from a crowd gathered in front of the all. einer was renewed after the klansmen held their meeting and were returning to the town square under escort.of state troopers. Rocks and eges again were hurled at the Klansmen. Six. men were arrested and two held on a charge of rioting. Boastful klansmen had taunted the anti-klansmen and defied them to prevent the meeting. The result was a “welcome committee” of sev who eral hundred antl-klansmen gathered, and the rioting started when both factions exchanged taunts. ia) Quash Motion Introduced In Gambling Case HELENA, Mont., Sept. 19.—At- torneys for the state association this morning field a motion to quash, vacate and set aside the information filed by the attorney week alleging race tr at the fair grounds during th tana state fair that the Info subscribed to county attorney and not made affirmation of Wilcox Quits Wisconsin Race MILWAUKEE, W s (Associated Press.)
