...blue coats go." yelled 5.000 rioters. From clubs and lengths of pipe the "specials" got a fierce drubbing. Every ambulance in Minneapolis was summoned to carry off the injured. A lusty striker with a baseball bat stepped up behind C. Arthur Lyman, graduate of Hotchkiss and Williams, onetime Guardsman and Wartime artillery officer, now vice president of American Ball Co. The striker swung his bat and Special Officer Lyman went down on the cobblestones with a crushed skull, never to rise again (see cut). Another special policeman died of the beating he received. So cowed were Minneapolis businessmen, that...
