say two men would be required to manage a

and the trains were at a standstill
An attempt by officials to send out trains re-
suited in the brakemen congregating. pulling
the pins, cutting the train in ten or twelve
parts, and threatening injury to person. One
official drew revolver and threatened to
shoot, and for time it looked as though a
riot was imminent. Two leaders of the strike
were arrested and placed in jail, but were
soon released by advice Of the company's at
torney for fear their confinement would lead
to great excitement and further trouble. The
conductors refused to go out without regular
crews, and thus another obstacle was met
and number Of regular trains held last
night. A small train was sent out. About
90 brakemcn are here and all determined.
