United States Marshals Collier and Hill re-

They captured three stills and destroyed
two. The first one was recaptured when
the four guards reported lost ran away.
They were citizens and guides, and failed
to keep their FIGHTING ideas So they prom
ised, when the fight commenced at the
third still. There were Fl teen shots ex-
changed between Deputy Marshal r. W.
Golfers and the paooDshiners. One moon

especial mention Tor remaining with four
teen horses and defending them from capt

O'Clock the next morning without water
or food. The four men never retui ned to
the corpse, but left for the nearest railroad
depot, and reported that the marshal and

the boys. The boys say it WAS not funny
as they, too, would hsvs been delighted
to have been with the gallant captain Ia
his elegant wagon. The captured nrop.

conpauied by the mayor, called on Mr..

wished him to sign. They demanded
that every striker be taken back, that

Mr. Chisholm hereafter listen personally

Mr.. Chisholm agreed to all the demands

be run to their greatest capac-

of the market 80 long that q
new trade would have to be worked
up. In time, perhaps, all the men except
the few who had maligned him personally
would be given positions. The committee
were dissati fed with the interview and
returned to Newbury. Tonight a meet
ing of the strikers was held at the Town
Hall 10 Newbury. The leaders, knowing
that they are the men whom the company
will not again employ, made pathetic
speeches about the thousands who were
to be murdered" as they termed it, and
the strikers fell in with the leaders and
declared that all shou d remain out if al
