When one of these companies was surprised by police last Sunday night the ne groes fired, killing Detective Sergeant Coppedge and precipitating the revenge riot by whites, which probably pre vented yesterday's alleged scheduled onslaught by the blacks. 77 Bodies Kara Been Tonnd The finding of several negro bodies in Cabokia creek yesterday and last night, brings the total known number of bodies found to 77.

The chamber asked the resignation of Chief of Po lice Psyne and Chief of Detectives Stocker. The resolutions bitterly as sail Mayor Mollman also.
