The feud commenced in 1891, and has so far resulted in the killing of six prominent citizens of the town."

"The first outbreak [of rioting] occurred ... when the street railway company sent a car from Lake View filled with non-union employes and guarded by a force of policemen, to attempt to operate the Holmden Avenue line. The south siders did not take kindly to the imported motormen and conductors, and bricks, stones, and eggs were hurled at the car."
