so frequent that although no one as ye'
has been injured. Reece, commanding the
military forces here, has issued sn order
that hereafter if shots are fired from any
building in East st. Louis the guards hal
surround such houses, raid them and ar
rest all guilty or suspected persons found
in the buildings. Two Deputy Sheriffs

of men supposed 10 be strikers. who en-
| gagged them in conversation, during the

the refusal OF the company to comply with
the request. Local agents of the company
say their Objectionable men were taken
into the employ of the company at the
time OF the last strike, and have been
faithful workmen, and they thought the
company would now stand by them

this afternoon for the same reason, and
the Lake Shore switohmen threaten to &c
out tomorrow.
