TROUBLE IS WITH THE CARMEN Pcputy Sheriffs Inside Cars Reply to Fusillade of Stones by Firing Into j Their Assailants and Stray Shot ( Fatally Wounds Boy , Pawtucket , R. I. , Juno 13. For the iflrgt tlmo In the history of the city , bayonets in the hands' ot soldiers or tdorod oiit by the governor of the state to suppress riotous disturbances , glistened In the streets of Pawtucket .yesterday. The astonishing increase in the number of lawless acts , directed against the United Traction company , whose union men have been om strlkt since June 2 , and the Inability of the limited police force and deputy shop iffs to suppress rioting , Induced Gov ernor Klmball to call out the ml lltia. Numerous scenes of disordei occurred during the day and more than a score of people were Injured -ono fatally. In the presence of about one thou eand persons and the militia last even ing Adjutant General Sackett read the riot act. The city was taken posses Blon of by the militia. Orders were issued calling out the Third division of the naval reserves.and the machine gun battery. The first disturbance was at the city lino. Pursuing the custom fol lowed during the strike , the United Traction company's cars were started from the Pawtucket avenue house and on one car was n number of dep uty sheriffs. When the car reached the Junction of PawtucKet and East avenues the trouble began. The pres ence of the deputies on the cars an gered the crowd , which had gathered , and a fusillade of stones , tin cans and other missiles followed. The cars were badly damaged. The motorman of each oar saw that his only chance was to start the car at full speed and run through the crowd without stop ping. The streetwhere , the trouble occurred "was picketed off by troops .and the , troops maintained peace for an hour or more. During this interval cars were not run. In the meantime JHlgh Sheriff White asked that three companies of militia besent to Paw tucket avenue , and this was done , with Major Johnson in command. But before this order was carried out the most serious trouble of the day occurred. A car was started from the Paw tucket avenue car house , on which were a score of deputies. At Paw tucket and East avenues a big crowd was in waiting and It was prepared to give the deputies a warm recep tlon. Before the'people turned their attention to the car they cheered the troopers. Immediately after , how' ever , a rain of stones and brickbats / fell upon the electric car. The troop ers were hemmed in by the mob and with great' difficulty succeeded in working their way out. When the turmoil was at Its height , fully a dozen shots were flred from the car , through the drawn curtains , all of which did no damage , save one which lodged in the -neck of Venner Peterson , aged twelve -years. The boy was taken to the Emergency hospital , -where itwe -announced that ; he Tvould die. The wounding of the Tioy sobered ttio crowd , which , after the car had proceeded , became more temperate , but many threats were made to kill a deputy sheriff in retaliation. .TEAMSTERS .
