special says: John ". Mackay passed
through this city for New York, accom-
panied by ". $. Hobart, J. NJ. Harper

lette, who joined the party at Lake Valley,
New Mexico, for the purpose Of escorting
them through the cowboy infected region
between Lake Valley and the SAINT Fe
Railroad, a distance Of about 13 miles.

always travels incogaito. in order to escape
the notice Of the b.igands. Mackay failed
TO adopt this presa1-ion, and Col. Gillette
{ getting wind 4 the fact that a reward had
been offered Tor the capture Of Mackay by
the Captain Of the cowboys, volunteered
the services u himself and 4 strong party
to escort the Bouauz4 King and his friends
to the railroad. Although no effort was
made to capture the millionaire, a number
of small bands OF outlaws were encOun-
tered, and MaeEsy expresses himself as
being satisfied that nothing but the pres
ence Of his escort prevented them from
holding him up a. least. He says that
they would have secured nothing but a
fve-dollar note and a nickel watch for
their trouble, but he congratulates MIN
self on Disappointing them even 10 that
extent.

favored demanding an increase Of 70 & per
cent, but it was finally decided to make a
demand Of 10 per cent all around, and
that this demand be made known 70 the
mill owners here tomorrow. This infor-
nation is not positive, but it is understood
that the demand will be extended to other
districts. President Jarrett was present,
but stated that he did not preside. 1t is

push the demand more sternly in the last
strike, and looked to demanding his resig-
nation unless he would take more radical
grounds. 1t has been reported that the
