BELFAST RIOTING
POLITICAL FACTIONS CLASH. LONDON, Sunday. The “Daily Mail’s” Belfast correspondent states that revolvers were freely used in fierce street fighting between rival political factions. Two men were taken to hospital with serious bullet wounds, and 20 injured with stones. Police detachments constantly charged with batons. As fast as they dispersed the crowds, fighting broke out at some other point. Scores of windows were smashed and traffic brought to a standstill. A grocery store was looted and rioters used parked motor cars as entrenchments.
