The police were helpless for almost
three boura to disperse tbe rioters, and
Crreek residents and business men, with
Ibeir wives and children, fled in panic
from tbe quarter attacked, while the
mob wreaked vengeance on property.
The police gained control about 6
Relock, but were unable to disperse the
crowd which thronged the streets in tbe
juii'te r where tbs trouble occurred.
Al 9 o'clock last night tbe mob attain
began depredators and riots calls came
in from several places. The mob set
fire to tbe bouse of a Greek, and three
men were taken from tbe place. After
being severely beaten, two of them

jf the mob who intended to put him on
Sward an out going train. It is not
