Eastern Guardsmen Rob Ohio Beaneries; Foodless 36 Hours.

Cleveland, July 13. —Seven hundred militiamen from eastern states passing through Cleveland over the Nickel Plate railroad, left the train this evening when it stopped at the Broadway East Ninth street depot and proceeded to raid nearby stores and commission houses, taking food and merchandise and destroying what they did not carry away. Riot calls were sent in and squads of patrolmen were sent to the scene in police emergency patrols. The soldiers were driven back to the train by a squad of twenty armed men ordered out by Major T. J. Moynahan, commanding the train. Some of the soldiers said they had not eaten for 36 hours. The troops belonged to the 69th, 7th, 14th, 12th and 23rd New York infantry and the First New York field artillery, all from the metropolis and Troop G, from Utica, N.Y. '
