scribed to Marshal Kalb, of Rochester, who
Immediately commenced search for him and
found him at the Norton House and arrested
him. He quietly submitted to the arrest, and
left the hotel with the Marshal The prisoner
went quietly along until they reached the cor
ner of Broadway and Fifth streets. Here the
prisoner turned on the Marshal with drawn
revolver and said, "Now you CO." The Mar
shall then drew his revolver, when the burglar
fred the ball grazing the MarshaTs cheek.
Kalb, the Marshal, then fired at the burglar,
but missed him. The thief then started to run
around the north side of the grocery, and fell
over bench. Kalb ran to the northeast cor
ner of the building, and at this his man, still
on his knees, fired at Kalb again, and missed
him, as Kalb lodged behind the building.
Then Kalb stepped out and fired at his man
as he was getting up. He staggered and fell,
dying almost instantly, Kalb having shot him
through the body. The ball went in under
the right shoulder blade, aud was afterwards
taken out from under the skin near the left
nipple. On his person was found a heavy
gold watch, bearing the same number as the
watch stolen from Lewis Bieon, and a gold

pin worth $3.50, and burglars nippers, skeleton
keys, etc. The name of the dead burglar
proved to be James Gsney. One of the Ganey
gang, named Vandiken, was arrested at Kas-
son, Saturday evening, June IA. The diamond
pin found on the person of the dead burglar
and the gold watch found on the person OF
the arrested burglar, Vandiker, proved to be
the property of Gov. Davis, of st. Paul, which
proves that it was the Ganey gang that bur-
glarized and robbed the Governors house, a
few nights previous.
On the night of June II telegram was
received by Gov. Pillsbury from Tracy, Lyon
county, from the sheriff of that county, saying
that riot had broken out on the Chicago &
Dakota railroad at that place, and calling fol
military aid. Subsequent reports show that
there was strike among railroad hands, be
cause of a reduction of wages from $50 tC
| $1.25 per day. A mob of three or four hun
dred men assembled, and lawlessly raided
camps and settlers. A military company was
ordered from New Ulm to the seat of Difficult
ty June IS Gov. Pillsbury and staff started
for Tracy. On the afternoon of June Is, after
the Governor had departed, a telegram was re
ceived from Tracy saying: There are no dem
onstrations of violence from the mob. Streets
are open except where liquor is sold. Hotels
have furnished dinner without any annoyance
There is some natural excitement among the
people, but everything is done carefully an(
prospects are fair for peaceable settlement
Later reports stated that the mob had de
strOyed some property and driven all the mel
off the work that wished to remain. It appears
the strikers consist almost entirely of Mil
waukee and Chicago roughs. Many of these
men are desperate characters, and were prom
nent actors in the Chicago riots tw years ago
A feeling of uneasiness is represented to pre-
vail in the surrounding country, and much ap
prehension exists as to the safety of families
Some gentlemen declare it is impossible fo
the contractors to work at the prices contract
ed for, hence the reduction of wages and con
sequent strike. Tracy, Lyon county, the place
of the disturbance is about eighteen miles cas-
of Marshall, the county seat of the county
Lyon county is in the far southwestern por
ton of the State.
The Governor found it unnecessary to re
main, and returned in two hours. The mex
day every thing was quoted down, the srrik
ers paid off, and a large number left for Chica
go:
