Encounter Soldiers. The volunteers made a detour j to enter the city by a different route, but encountered another force of soldiers. The latter started to disarm them when someone fired. Sev- ral shots were exchanged and two idiers were wounded. _ Taking advantage of the con- fusion, ‘the volunteers bolted into the city, most of them getting safe- ly to their homes with their rifles. The soldiers then started back) to their barracks. People gath- ered and began hooting the troops. Finally, near O'Connell statue, the crowd began throwing stones. Charge into Crowd. | At this the soldiers broke ranks | and charged with fixed bayonets. Then they began firing. Many peo- ple fell, and the crowd fled in a pane.
