One citizen killed Alfred Dorn and two wounded Robert Christie and Ben Baker when crossing a forbidden area near the power plant. Authorities dispatched five guard companies and issued a proclamation of insurrection. Christie, Baker and Dorn were business people from Augusta. Christie was driving, the others were in a carriage when shot. Charles Wilson and family escaped unharmed. a boy on a motorcycle was fired upon but not hit. Thousands rushed to the scene as riots spread through the mill district and bridge crews spiked the Broad street bridge before calm returned. The strike stemmed from the company refusing to arbitrate and the dispute centers on company rules and management goals.
