A crowd of several hundred objected to the screening of the picture “The Callahans and the Murphys,” stating it was offensive and objectionable to a large section of the community. They bombarded the theatre with stones, and attempted to storm the building. Mounted police were summoned, and after a struggle dispersed the rioters.
