The Are depart ment was called out to extinguish the !ires, but as soon as a lino of hoso wa Jaid, the mob cut tho- hose. A hard waro store was broken into, guns and revolvers taken and during tho heighth of the disturbance thousands of shots were fired, one man killed, a number wounded, and policemen and citizens clubbed and beaten. The po lice woro utterly powcrlss, tho mob had full sway and Hid as it pleased. Mayor Smith, aftor the court house had commenced to burn, emerged from tho building nnd it is said that ho had a revolver In his hand. Just at that time a young man was shot in tha hand. The mob took for granted that the Mayor had fired the shot. A rope was thrown around tho mayor's neck And he waes dragged for two blocks and strung up to a pole. He was cut down by two policemen who had fol lowed; again he was strung up by the mad crowd, and again cut down, and then hurried to a hospital whore his condition was pronounced serious.
