The property loss v was estimated by City Attorney Fekete at $3,000,000. Forty injured negroes and six injured white men > were in one hospital and almost an equal number in another. Vast clouds of smoke rolled across the sky tonight from the burning dis- ^ trict. The flames made some of the downtown streets as light as day and j now and then a yelling mob rushed c down a street in pursuit of a negro or s in search of new excitement. ( National Guardsmen loaded in automobile trucks dashed after the mob. ^ The shouting died occasionaly as be- v wildered people walked up and down ^ the streets wondering where the next t outbreak would occur. c Fire Spread Itapidly. ], The fires started about G o'clock this c evening and spread rabidly. Soon s names visible lor miles were shooting into the sky. Hundreds of negro wo- s men, most of them carrying bundles ^ that held their most precious belong- 0 ings and leading small children fled ^ across the bridge to shelter and safe- t ty with friends on the Missouri side. n Telephone wires were cut early in j, the evening. As telegraph and telephone poles caught lire other wires ^ went down. ^ The mobs in East St. Ix>uis were j, swelled by hundreds of people who s early in the evening crossed the river j, from St. Louis, Mo. This added such ^ a menace to the situation that at 8:30 t o'clock the bridges were closed. This I forced hundreds of residents of su-1 I>urhan towns to stay ni St. Louis fo" v the night. I< As soon as street traffic ended at 7 p. m. crowds walked across the u bridge into East St. Louis by the thou- f sands. ii I 450 Ba I We are offering made by R. P.
