sisters, whom the police had some dif-
ficulty in protecting. In one instance

to rescue three well dressed ladft's from
the hands of a group of socialist wom-
en who were bent on mobbing them.

IU attendance. After the scouts ad-
vanced and engaged each other, both
sides advanced and the firing became
general. The lines opposed each oth-
er in tho middle of tho parade
grounds. The heavy artillery kept up
a continual bombardment. The fea-
ture ot tho battle was tue thrilling
