He saw the strikers and sensed the bitter feeling among the people but Barney did not know anything about the riot until he read it in the newspapers in Idaho, the: day after the rioters had turned things topsy turvy . .. He saw a Butte school building burn and he noticed lots of shattered glass near his car when be went out to get it the morning after the riots ... So Tha Daily Journal didn't get aay eyewitness' story,; alas and alaek.
