Original Toronto Star caption: Prison guards keep about 300 covered while inside the damaged building carpenters and plumbers set about repairing the place. Another riot nearly broke out last night as rumor spread that screams and groans issuing from inside the institution were coming from the ringleaders who had surrendered yesterday. As the leaders ran down corridor, thud of paddle could be heard as guards roared at men to ''stand up,'' ''get moving,'' and to ''hurry it up.'' ''It sounded like a herd of cows,'' a guard said.
