Upward of a hundred shots were fired by representatives of both factions, and the marvel of It was that not more persons were killed. This applied with particular force to the police, who furnished an inspiring spectacle of absolute disregard of their own lives and whose prompt action prevented the riot resulting in wholesale slaughter.

The Jury came to a decision about 6:30 last evening. It had been expected that a verdict would be reached without much delay and Judge Wheaton. before whom the case was tried, remained within call, so that as soon as the verdict was arrived at word was sent to the Judge and about 7:80 o'clock the court was convened for the purpose of receiving the verdict.

This applied with particular force to the police, who furnished an inspiring spectacle of absolute disregard of their own lives and whose prompt action prevented the riot resulting in wholesale slaughter.
