The BodIs Troubles.
BoDIE, CAL, Feb. 14th.-About
half past s o'clock this morning as
Geo. Daily, Superintendent of
Mono, was coming from breakfast,
and when nearing Gillson & Bar
ber's store, on Main street, he was
stopped by Jas. Tompkins and
Phil. Meagher, who requested him
to go with them to a meeting of the
Mechanics Union at Miners Hall.
Some words passed, DAILY refusing
to go along, and one of the party
then said, "Boys, take hold of him
and carry him along" Daily sprang
to one side, drawing o pistol
and covering Meagher. This
caused a general scattering.
Daily then went into ellison
& Barbel's store, where he re-
manned sonnet lme in sort of siege,
doors being opened only to en-
ployes and friends. Jas. TompkiDs
drew a pistol during the scuffle, but
no shots were fired. Loud threats
were made in the street against
Daly's life; that it was
only a question Of time
when they would get him.
Warrants were issued for the arrest
of Meagher and Tompkins. Lead
ing mining men are now disposed
to bring matters to climax by
demanding that the Miners Union
show their hand and take sides pos
itively for or against the hostile
mechanics.
