Madison in the Sixties: The Mifflin Street Block Party Riots, part 1
On April 29, 1969, an anonymous group calling itself the International Were Wolf Conspiracy posts flyers downtown advertising a party that Saturday in the 500 block of West Mifflin St. The illustration is of a man with a bandolero, with a call for “armed love” and to “off the pig.” The Mifflanders don’t care that they don’t have a permit; lots of neighborhoods throw block parties without official sanction. Cops had even diverted traffic for a no-permit party on West Gilman Street just the week prior. [i]
But they’re not going to be so nice to the neighborhood radical leader Tom Hayden called one of America’s “liberated zones.” So Police Chief Wilbur Emery schedules extra men for Saturday afternoon, and arranges with Sheriff Vernon “Jack” Leslie for a hundred deputy sheriffs to be on standby. The chief does not consult with the new Mayor Bill Dyke, sworn in only two weeks earlier.[ii]
No injuries were reported.
Officers responded to Schwoeglerâs Park Towne Lanes, 444 Grand Canyon Drive, at about 11:05 p.m. Friday after several people reported gunfire, Lt. Kipp Hartman said. Police found 52 spent shell casings in the parking lot of the bowling alley, including 35 handgun casings of different calibers and 17 rounds from a rifle.
Early Saturday, police were called to the 200 block of West Gilman Street about 1:10 a.m. for a reported fight. Hartman said a group of people was seen walking from State Street through Peace Park to their cars parked on West Gilman Street. A man wearing a yellow jacket went between two occupied cars, a gray sedan and red sedan, and started attacking a passenger in the gray sedan. The man then started attacking the driver of the red sedan, a woman.
