The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1886-05-04

nounce for us that if ever we are stopped
again as We were tonight somebody will
| bite the dust"
PREPARED FOR EN-.
| For some unexplained cause the belief
seems to prevail in certain circles that the
strikers are about TO make an attempt to
cause suspension of work in the shops
here, possibly tomorrow, or Monday at the
furthest. The BAZoo stated yesterday that
rumor 10 this effect prevailed, but the
closest search yesterday afternoon failed 10
throw additional light on the subject. A
Pacific official was asked what he thought
of the report, and replied
81 have heard that the strikers contem-
plated an attempt to capture the shops on
May lst, but do not believe there is any
thing in it,"
"Are you taking any extra precaution in
consequence of the rumor"
"No, sir; We do not deem it necessary.
We have number of guards on duty and
they are all
ARMED WITH IRREGULARITIES,
each weapon containing sixteen cartridges.
With these We are prepared TO give the at
lacking party warm reception, and don't
you forget it.
"What If the raid is made at night"
cit will be the same thing. We are as
we'll fixed at night as in the daytime, and
are able to furnish the coroner with work
for the remainder of the spring and all
summer, if necessary"
"Could you make a successful fight
against body of 500 or 400 strikers"
GGThafso hos xra could Il ell ,,a, a., ..
an inpossibility for the strikers to get POS
session of the Sedalia shops"
Charlie Holland, in charge of the day
guards at the NJ, X. & 7. shops, in discuss
ing the subject, said:
READY HERE, TOO.
81 don't know how the rumor originated,
or whether il has any foundation, but the
BAzoo can say, on my authority, that if
the strikers are contemplating any such a
movement they will do well to abandon it.
The day guards are here, and they are
here to stay. We can cope with a pretty
coed sized gang OF strikers, and If we are
not equal 10 the emergency We will call on
the shop men, all of whom are well armed
We hope there will not be any trouble,
but if there is, you can put il down as an
business for the next few days"
The BAZoo does not believe that the !
strikers are foolish enough, as body, to |
rourt further trouble, but if they are, they
will surely get their fill of il.
POLICEMEN WANTED.
An ex-city official, in referring to the
assault on John A. Morony Tuesday noon,
aid yesterday that Mayor Stevens should |
end 'wo or three policemen to the corner of |
bird and Engineer streets each noon and /
evening to prevent a repetition of the Mo-
-ony affair, when the men go TO and return
rom their meals.
"Let him send two of the best
men on the force, no Knights of Labor,
bOugh, and when the strikers make bad
break lei them be arrested. AS it is now
he strikers take possession of the sidewalk
n the locality referred to. and each en-
,'oye who passes is subjected 10 the vilest
buse. Let Marshal jackson and Jim
iossage show up in the neighborhood and
here will be no further bulldozing."
MINOR MATTERS.
old man Mullanphy, another striker,
$ also reported to have gone hence, and
ther are booked to depart at an early
lay. They say there is no show for them
ere, and they do not propose to remain
die longer.
Martin Irons tarried i'm Sedalia but a
ew hours, and yesterday morning found
i'm in St. Louis, he having left here at
midnight Wednesday. As to whether or
oi he took "smile" before departing, the
SAzoo was unable to learn. ts .t
Arthur Green, a striker and master
Torkman Of one of the local knights of
4abor lodges, who disappeared recently,
eaying behind several unpaid bills, is said
D be working in the shops at Hope, Texas,
here he has two sons employed. Money
riders are in order, Mr.. Green.
%. F. Harris, the. carpenter who has
cen SO greatly annoyed by the strikers
ecently, and whose barn is supposed to
ave been burned by some one in sympa-
by with them, is now an inmate of the
ospital, suffering with fever. That his
illness was brought on by the worry incl ,
ent to the threats made against him, there I
not the shadow of doubt. Il
