Miiiked M«o Were Waiting for Then at Hronkflnld* IlBOOKFnn.D, Mo., Jane 30.—A lynch ing' was narrowly averted here yester day. Sheriff Uarton was expected in from St. Louis with George and Will iam Taylor, wanted in this county for the murder of Gus Meeks and .’um ily, near Browning. But the sheriff had been notified by telegraph at Shelbina that there was danger should he bring his prisoners to Brookfield, and ho stopped at Macon City and placed them in jail there. When the 7:45 p. m. train arrived there were fully 1,000 people at the depot, and in the crowd were many strangers. As tho train pulled in fifty masked men, well armed, rode down the Main street to the depot, nnd the excite ment ran high. It was supposed that tlie Taylors were on the train, and when tho opposite was learned a sigh of relief went up from part of the crowd and the strangers looked dis appointed. They were a determined lot of men and came here with a pur pose which would have sorely been carried out had not Sheriff Uarton been warned by some friends here. The strangers had been noticed earn ing into town quietly for two hourB before train time, but their purpose was not fully understood until the masked riders arrived. To a correspondent one -of the mob stated that they were all from Brown ing and Milan, and proposed to vindi dicate Linn and Sullivan counties from the slurs that had been cast upon them by many of the news papers of Missouri and other states. The mob finally decided not to go to Macon on the 10 o’clock train. They realized that their departure could be telegraphed to Macon and the officers there would have sufficient time to prepare for them. DEBS OR THE COURT.

The Santa Fo Sends Out Pullmans With out Much Trouble. Kansas City, Mo., June 30.—The boycott on Pullman cars on the Santa Fe railway, which was enforced in Kansas City with complete success by the American Railway Union from 9 a. m. until 0 p. m. yesterday, was not successful to-day, the Santa Fe com pany having sent out its passenger trains on time with the usual number of Pullman cars. The freight busi ness, however, of the Santa Fe com pany in Kansas Qity and Argentine is totally stopped on account of the strike of the switchmen. In fact the company has refused to receive freight excepting subject to au indefinite de lay and is doing no freight business whatever here to-day. One switch en gine out of about twenty is at work, in the Argentine yards and it is only handling cars used by or destined to the Kansas City Consolidated Smelt ing and Refining company. Twenty-six United States deputy marshals under command of Hubert Lardner, Marshal Neelv’s deputy for the Third division, are stationed in or about the Santa Fe yards or about the offices and buildings belonging to the company. tienry a. balzer, manager of the John A. Salzer Seed company, La Crosse, Wis., is in Europe looking' up rare nov elties in vegetables and new things in the farm seed line. He will visit the celebrated farming districts of France, Germany, England, Belgium, Russia and Bohemia, and the customers of this wide-awake firm can congratulate themselves upon his bringing along the cream of farm and vegetable seeds that these foreign countries offer.

Hayden was arrested for shooting Bots Greenwood, a brakeman at this place June 20 and was being taken to Cussville jail for safe keeping. The sheriff and prisoner were on the south bound train, which was ■topped by the mob. Ills If. THE GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE RAPIDLY SPREADING. ROCK ISLAND SYSTEM PARALYZED. Deports of Walk Outs Are Touring in ■Tom All Over ttao Went — Kvery Switchmen In lianwi City Order ed Out—Santn Ke Hiring New Men and Calls for More Deputy Marshals. Chicago, July 2. — The apparent lightening' of the boycott of the American Railway union on Pullman ears yesterday was seemingly but a mere temporary rest in the gigantic movement. To-day the reports from all points indicate that the struggle has been renewed with fresh force by the union und that the strike is in volving fresh lines and more seriously crippling the railroad business of the West than ever. None of the general managers of the various systems now make any positive predictions as to the immedi ate future. Mr. Frye of the Santa Fe declares that the prospect on his line KITOENE DEBS, PRESIDENT OF TIIE A. R. U. is a little brighter but the facts so far as they can be obtained hardly bear him out for the passenger service is by no means in even fair shape and freight traffic is paralyzed. The man agers of the roads so far affected are plainly nervous for no one can tell what will be the next move of the strike directors. In Kansas City the Santa Fe is send ing out passenger trains, but the freight service is completely para lyzed. All Kansas City switchmen who belong to the A. R. U. have re ceived an order to strike at noon Sunday, and if it is obeyed,, as it doubtless will be, the local situation will become serious. In Chicago the stock yards switch men are all out and the business of the yards and the packing houses is completely paralyzed. The Rock Is land is tied up tightly to-day and the Illinois Central is paralyzed worse than ever. Strikers have begun re sorting more or less to violence and the general situation is more serious than at any time since the boycott be gan. In St- Louis, 2,000 yardmen have struck and only passenger trains are being run with officials of the roads in charge. The freight business on every road in St. Louis and Fast St. Louis is at a standstill. On the Pacific coast there is not the slightest improvement and on the Northern Pacific the promised lifting of the tie-up has not been ac complished. From many points in thc*West and Northwest come fresh reports of strikes and the outlook is generally growing darker, particularly at smaller towns before unaffected! That the American Railway union has more strength than had been sup posed is now unquestioned, and where it has been weak it has been materi ally assisted by sympathizers in other railroad orders, many of these latter acting in direct defiance of their chiefs. Both sides are evidently pre paring for fresh moves, and the next day or two is likely to have sensation al developments. ROCK ISLAND TIED-UP. That lllg System Almost Paralyzed at the Chicago End. Chicago, July 8.—The packing houses and stock yards ^district is par alyzed, all of the switching crews, 300 men, having quit work last night. Only one engine was in service to day, and it was used to handle pack ing house products for roads which do not use Pullman cars. No stock w»s delivered to consignees this morning by many of the roads, and several have declined to accept shipments. All was quiet at the yards to-day. The tie-up of the ltock Island road was almost complete at the Chicago end to-day. The switchmen, switch tenders and tower men went out almost to a man, over 400 stopping work at 7 o’clock this morning. They were not expected to go out until noon and their unexpected action left the road in bad shape. General Manager Egan of the gen eral managers’ association bureau and General Manager St. John of the Rock Island road were in consultation to-day with Sheriff Gilbert at the lat ter’s office. The result was that the sheriff soon begun swearing in dep uties. When the Monon mail train reached the state line at Hammond, Ind., at 10:42 o’clock last night, it was sig naled to stop. The engineer had scarcely done so when a crowd of strikers surrounded him. Then a striker took the place of the regular Monon men and while the strikers yelled the train was pulled slowlv into the city. It wus run on a switch and will be left there until the strike is ended. The Western Indiana tracks at the state lipe arc completely blocked. Five passenger trains are standing there one behind the other—four trains be longing to the Erie and one to the Monon. The first train has been there since 4:*# yesterday. The pas sengers are tired and hungry. The Illinois Central suburban ser vice is completely tied up. The en gineers and firemen to-day refused to take out their engines. Employes of the Fort Wayne rail road began quitting work in the suburban district to-day. 6ne or two trains were manned by officers of the road and kept in service, but traffic was practically suspended. Vice President Howard of the American Railway union to-day issued an order tying up the Milwaukee and | St. Paul road in all branches at 6 ! o’clock this evening. An order was i also issued to tie up the Rig Four at Cairo. The Chicago and Northwestern re ports to-day that its passenger service is moving without interruption. Sheriff Gilbert sent forty special deputies and many regular deputies to the border of the county at the Indiana state line and near Ham mond, Ind. There is considerable suf fering among the passengers on the trains held at Hammond which have not been moved to-day. There is no water on the trains nor any to be found near the trains. Women and children are complaining bitterly. Twenty deputy sheriffs who started for Blue Island were stalled a long time at Fifty-fifth street. Superin tendent Hubbell threw the switches but the strikers threw them back and forbid any interference by officers of the road. The deputies walked around and viewed the situation but took no action. A large crowd gath ered but no violence was offered. The last train to reach the blockade was a mail train, and some of the strikers advised that it be allowed to proceed, bub the switchmen were firm and the train was held. WHAT THE MANAGERS SAT. The General Managers’ association issued the following to-day: “There is no attempt made to deny' that the strike is widespread and is serious. This embarasses the freight traffic of the West to the most serious extent of any strike since the Eastern labor troubles in 1377 and 1878. The companies have no idea of entering into a compromise with the strikers, on any basis whatever. The railroad companies fail to see the justice of the position taken by the A. R. U. of fighting Mr. Pullman over the heads of the railroad companies, who have no control over Mr. Pullman’s move ments or his manufacturing business. The men who are now on a strike are considered as employes who have re signed their positions and who are not anxious for work. Any men who desire employment under the railroad companies center ing in Chicago and who are competent will be furnished po sitions _ and will be afforded all the protection that lies in the power of the companies, police of the city of Chicago, sheriff of Cook county and the state of Illinois. Men arc now being, hired in the East and brought to Chicago to take the places of men who will not work. I has been charged by the A. R. U. that the general managers' association is im porting men from Canada. This statement is absolutely false. The railroad companies do not propose to employ any men to take the places of the men now on strike, unless such men are American citizens and where ever we can find a man who wants to work, to take the place of a man who will not work, whether the substi tute comes from New York or Cali fornia we propose to give him a job and see that he is protected.” ON THE SANTA FE. General Manager I rey Thinks the Situ ation Is Improving. Topeka, Kan., July 3.—General Manager Frey says that the strike situation on the Santa Fe system shows a decided improvement over yesterday, and he believes that it will grow better hourly until the final dis solution of the strike, which he is confident is not far off. Passenger trains were reported moving on time this morning except in Colorado and New Mexico, where the strikers still have possession, although last night the company moved three trains with Pullman equipment out of La Junta. The management is not undertak ing to move freight trains, and their agents are instructed to accept freight only subject tq delay and no perish able freight at all. Referring to the statement that 10.000 men were out on the Santa Fe system, Mr. Frey said that he did not estimate the number of actual strikers on the entire system at to exceed 1.000 men. An entire train crew could be forced out by the refusal of a single fireman to perform his duty, but only the fireman could be classed as a striker. Denver, June 30.—Train No. 8 on the Santa Fe, after a wait of twenty four hours, left last night, a fireman willing to fill the deserted post hav ing been found. All A. R. U. men on the Santa Fe road at this point have stopped work on the order of Presi dent Debs. No trains with Pullmans have arrived on the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe California train over the Colorado Midland was sent out to-day but is not likely to get beyond Colo rado City where the Midland em ployes have joined the strike. Florence, Kan., Juno 30.—All the SantaFe employes here .except the station agent, cashier, roadmaster and roadhouse foreman are out. Twelve federal officers are here, but all is quiet. Ottawa, ICan., June 30.—The Amer ican Railway union shopmen here are out nnd the Santa Fe shops are idle. The yard crews have not yet struck, but they have nothing to do as no trains are moving. SWITCHMEN TO STRIKE. Thone on All the Koacla Entering Kali an* City to Come Oat. Kansas Citv, Mo., July 2.—To-day an order was piven for a strike of the switchmen in all the Kansas City rail way yards at noon to-morrow. The men will not strike as members of the Switchmen’s Mutual Benefit asso ciation of North America, of which Miles Barrett of Kansas City is chief, but as members of the American Rail way Onion. The general switchmen’s strike, if carried into effect, will be by far the most important phase the strike has assumed since its beginning. It will include switchmen in the employ of the Chicago and Alton, Rock Island, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Bur lington, Milwaukee, Memphis and Chicago Great Western railways and will probably draw in switchmen from tlie Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf, Osceola and Southern and other smaller lines. There are probably 400 switchmen employed in all the Kansas City yards and it is pretty safe to say that 300 are A. R. U. members. It is certain there are enough switchmen to prac tically stop all switching in case the strike order is obeyed. The Santa Fe company to-day asked United States Marshal Neely at Leav enworth for forty more deputies to assist in protecting property at Ar gentine. The company began to-day hiring new switchmen and firemen and as soon as the number is sufficient an ef fort will be made to move freight trains. PULLMAN TALKS FREELY. The Trouble Now Beyond the Car Com pany—The Fight of the Hoads. Chicago, July 2.—George M. Pull man, president of the Pullman Palace car company, who is now at his home here said last night of the great boycott: “The strike is no longer a fight against the Pullman company alone. It has spread and grown beyond us until now the Pullman strike is a subordin ate feature. The railroads are now trying whether or not they have the right to control their own roads and manage their own property. While the strike was confined to our com pany we at no time asked the rail roads to assist us, find when, a few days ago, the general managers of the great roads centering in Chicago decided to oppose the American Rail way union they asked neither advice nor assistance from the Pullman company. It was plainly, distinctly and decidedly their fight, as was patent to everybody. In reality this movement is a demonstra tion of anarchy. Here are men organized and banded together at tacking and endeavoring to crush in stitutions which are necessary and are operated for the welfare and con venience of the general public. We have done all that could be done—all that we could do at least—for the comfort and welfare of our employes. As high wages were paid as could possibly be afforded in these hard times. So far as I can see, there was nothing left undone for the good of the men which it was in our power to do.” “Were the men employed at the Pullman car shops paid enough so that they could live without getting into debt?” “That is something I do not care at this time to discuss^’ ST. LOUIS MEN IDLE. Two Thousand Employes Out—Freight Huslness Paralysed. St. Louis, Mo., July 2.—The strike of the American Railway union is on here in all its force and traffic is rap idly coining to a standstill. The Ter minal men struck last night and as a result of conferences held and orders from headquarters the switchmen on both sides of the river refused this morning to handle any cars whatso ever and freight movement immedi ately stopped. Passenger traffic, however, moved as usual, all trains leaving on time, not with the assist ance of the striking American Rail way union men, however, but with the aid of the Terminal association yardmaster and assistants, who had never been allowed to join any labor union. The strikers at this point now num ber in the neighborhood of 2,000 men. These include the switchmen of the Terminal association, 200 in number, and also those in all the individual railroad yards, between 1,500 and 1,800 in number. As the strike be came general the idle men began to gather in knots in the various yards and discuss the situation. ON THE NORTHERN PACIFIC. Two Trains So Far Sent From St. I’aul —Engineer Refuses to Come Out. St. Paul, Minn., July 2.—No trains came in on the Northern Pacific to day, but the regular morning train went out after twenty-seven minutes’ delay. A vigorous attempt was made to get the engineer to go out but he refused, and the train left here at 9:27. A passenger train on the Northern Pacific went through Wadena at 5:12 this morning bound for Winnipeg. It was the first mail from the East since Wednesday._ CINCINNATI TIED UP. Only Passenger Trains Moving — No Freight Received on Any Road. Cincinnati, Ohio, July 2. — The railroads are paying off the strikers here to-day and employing new men, but only passenger trains are moving. At the stock yards the yardmaster is is running the only switch engine and with new switchmen is unable to re lieve suffering live stock. No live stock'or freight has been received. No Change on the Coast. San Francisco, July 2.—There has been no improvement in the situation on the Southern Pacific since yester day. Passenger and freight business is paralyzed. No trains are running, north or south, and from Ogden, Doming and Ei Paso west not a wheel is turning. Midland Men Oat. Coi.orado Springs, Col., July 2.— The order calling out the A. R. U. men employed on the Colorado Mid land was received here last cveyning and the road is tied up. Tha Equitable Pays the Fraker Claim.
