to do it. During the delay thes following
men were
ARRESTED FOR RIoToUs CONDUCT
of the day before. One of them was ar
rested for blowing an engine whistle to scare
& O.'s men, Their names and oc-
equations were: Henry Keickiser, engineer;
Patrick Donnelly, track repairer; Alvey c.
Spaulding, carpenter; Lansing Mcintyre
conductor of q construction train: Garrett
Welsh, worker in the yard at Michigan
City (where most of the rioters were FROM;
Hiram johnson, brakeman; George Law
renee, conductor of construction train;
George Locke, machinist; John O'Neil, fore
man of iron ore; w. III. Freeman, engineer;
NJ. Carroll, fireman; Pat. Hoben, boss of
hands; James Potts, assistant road master
When arresting one of the above, the rioters
offered some resistance, and for a mo-
ment it looked as though we were
to have some shooting. Judge Cowan, who
was in the middle of the crowd, gave orders
for the guards to come to the rescue. The
word was carried to Capt. Wight.nan, and in
moment more the guards were coming
| towards the mob in double quick time with
charge bayonets. At seeing this the resist
ence was discontinued, the man captured
and bloodshed avoided. In all these troubles
it was en- amusing sight to see the Chicago
Tribune's correspondent, who made himself
a general butt for joking throughout the
day. A fellow who undoubtedly has a
"good nose for news" but has no compass
sion on .i his fellow reporters in the
warrants out for many others, ameng
whom is Mr.. Joy, the president. The
| men arrested were taken before a JUS
tice of the peace, and bound over to the
| Civil Circuit Court of Porter county
| By this time IL O'Clock, the rioters were
L M al orr io ali har
a stimulating sight for rioter to see men
with loaded and bayoneted rifles walking
| among them, and occasionally arresting in
| a mild but firm manner one of their num-
Der, and especially leader. If Joy, Gard
ner, and all the officials were arrested they
would not break their hearts over it half so
quick as they would should those bayonets
guard the treasury from whence came the
pay for the belligerent labor. So when
that plucky little sheriff gets on
the fence ana tells them he wants every
mothers son of them to get away from the
Instructions and come inside the fence under
arrest of the soldiers, they do not hesitate
| long to obey his order. If at all it was only
long enough to look up the track at those
murderous Calling guns sighted on theil
crowd. Mr.. Gardner, thinking he had bet.
ter say something, gets up on the obstruc-
tions and makes speech. He advised the
men to obey the sheriff and not resist the
State of Indiana. He then said that he wanted
it understood that the Michigan Contra
only relinquished their resistance because
they were overpowered and did not want tt
resist the authority of Indiana. 1t would
have been due time to have come to this con
clusion last night when the mob was resist
ing the sheriff who is of Indiana authority
and not have thrown his deputies over the
fence or torn up their warrants when they
were endeavoring to enforce the law of In
diana. However, the ringleaders wer'
picked out of the mob and the balance al
lowed to go. This they did RICH
hurriedly and shouting with joy a
being at last out of such an uncivilized anC
ungodly mess. The B. 81 o. workmen wer
then called up from their place of quietude
a mile back, and set to work removing tn
blockade and putting down that frog tina
would suing go. By dark it was done
and the troops left for home. All is serene
and the B. & O.'s rooster crows while the NJ
C.'s is badly ruffled and is thinking wha
next to do. w. %. f.
