MOB RUN RIOT
BRUTAL MURDERS

Meanwhile the chief constable was stabbed and thrown into the river, and stoned until lie sank. The mob forced an entrance into the town ball, split the judge’s skull with a hatchet, and stabbed the actuary. They di-aggcd the bodies through the streets until they were unrecognisable. Many strikers are resuming work. A revolutionary hand is terrorising Valencia. An attempt was made to burn the Duke of Grandia’s palace, but was frustrated. The mob looted a number of municipal safes. The troops are pursuing the mob. A warship with live hundred troops has arrived at Forrol. The authorities have secured details of a carefully planned anarchist plot, to which the strikes were intended to pave the way. Attacks were planned on convents, barracks, and public buildings. A stock of bottles filled with explosives was prepared. All members of the executive were arrested, nipping, the movement in the hud.
