HORSESHOES WEAPONS WHEN NEGROES FIGHT street. Fanned by the wind the fire tore it ways up the hill and many residences, some occupied by the rioters were burned. Sheriff Blinded. Mayor W. H. Cunningham and the ten policemen of the village were un- able to do anything. Sheriff J. C. Umstead earlier in the evening had been blinded temporarily by red pep- per thrown in his eves by a rioter, and later conferred with Mayor Cun- ningham who admitted he was unable to stop the rioting. This condition the sheriff reported to Gen. Speaks who had been sent to look over the situation and to Lieut. Col. Charles Weibrecht of Alliance, who accom- panied him. = It was then the call was sent for state troops. Meantime the rioting had been Progress for several hours. The crowd seemed to grow until there were hundreds of drink crazed men and women roaming the streets. The fire department had been called out but the hose was cut to pieces, and helples the firemen called on the Youngstown fire department. Chief Joseph Wallace had men and equip- ment ready to send from the city but found it was useless to risk lives and property as long as the mob held the town. Scenes of the wildest disorder were everywhere enacted, and the fires mounted higher and higher until 10 o’clock. Wilson avenue, the . entire length of the village, was in flames. no attempt was being made to ex- tinguish the flames or save the thousands of dollars in property being carried away or destroyed. Post Office Burned. Early in the evening the mob had attacked the post office. It was a nall building, and the crowd make short work of it. There was a report that the mob had dragged the safe into the street and blown it to pieces but later it was stated that the men had been content with robbing the strong box before applying the torch. One of the handsomest buildings in the village was the banking house of i. V. Hamory. The mob paid no at- tention to it until after 10 o'clock. Then it was recalled that a saloon hag stood in that section and there was a rush to the place. The saloon was quickly looted and fired, and the 'mes spread to the bank and soon loomed the structure. A dry goods store near Seventh street and Wilson avenue shared a building with a saloon. .Rioters at- tecked the dry goods store first. A man appeared at a window above the store and fired one shot. An un- dentified rioter fell dead and the Test fled. A number of clothing stores fell a prey to the rioters, and almost im- mediately men began exchanging their cld clothes for the loot they had d. This change of apparel was de in the street, lighted almost to noonday brightness by the flames. Once the rioters were frightened. A passenger train steaming along the raflroad tracks at the foot of the hill, siowed down as it approached the borning buildings, a shout: “The militia is coming” rang out and for a rainute or two there was a pause But when it was seen the train did not stop, the orgy went on.

ALLEGED EMBEZZLER TAKEN INTO CUSTO One Participant in Quarre] Dying— Lawyer O'Brien’s Joke on Local Pros- Other Held for Assault— ecutor is Turned on Himself When He Gets Wrong Picture. Argued Over Horses. Bridgeport, Jan. 8.—Following a duel with horse shoes in the black- smith shop of Christopher Rickard, truckman, in the West End, early to- day, James Nixon, colored, aged 35, is dying at the Bridgeport hospital with a fracture of the skull, and John Henry Coleman, 54, also colored, is held at police headcquarters in default of $5,000 bail, charged with assault with intent to kill. The fight was the outcome of an argument concerning the treatment of the horses. In a statement to the police Coleman said he grappled with Nixon on the floor of the forge shop and tore a heavy iron horseshoe from the latter’s grasp. After getting the upper hand, “just to be fair,” Cole- man gave the horseshoe back to Nixon and then beat him. At the itospital little hope is held out for the recovery of Nixon. to = FIVE BELOW AT NORFOLK.
