Butte semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1886-1890, 1886-05-08

meeting had just adjourned when the pas
senger train from the South came along,
and in twinkling it was broken up. The
conductor attempted to make up his train
again, but was warned and finally CON-
PEELED tn desist. A special train from
PocatellO, ha wing on board Superintendent
Blickensderier and posse OF Deputy
United States Marshals, was similarly
served, end it required much persuasive
eloquence on the part of the superintend-
ent, conductor and passengers to show the
strikers the injustice OF delaying persons
who had not harmed them. The passen-
ger train was held twelve hours at Eagle
Rock.
ON THE BROAD GAUGE LINE.
CHEYENNE, Wyo.. May 5.-The situation
regarding the strike Of brakemsn is the
same as during the last forty eight nouns.
No freight is moving between North Platte
and Rawlins, thus effectually blockading the
main line OF the Union Pacific Railway. No
interference il made with passenger trains
with the exception at Eagle Rock on the
Utah & Northern, where the strikers held q
passenger train all last night. An effort
will be made to move freights over this d.
vision, and will probably be successful, If
the civil authorities at Laramie will sustain
the railroad officials. General Superin-
tendent Dickinson went to Laramie last
evening aud returned this morning. He says
NO concessions will be made to the strikers.
1t is reported here that the local organiza-
tion OF the Brakemen's brotherhood had
no authority to order strike and there
fore the strikers are not sustained by the
brakemen of the other districts on the
Union Pacific Railroad. Division Superin-
tendent Deuel. this afternoon brought from
Sidney freight train of twenty-five cars.
No serious opposition was offered him at
that place. No disturbance occurred here.
STRIKE NOTES.
The strikers have the sympathy of the
masses.
8. L. Russell, a conductor, is liable to be
roughly handled if he is captured by the
strikers. He 40 delegate to Omaha, and
was instructed to wait for instructions be-
fore ordering a strike. Tuesday night be
was in this city and received cipher dis
patch instructing him that II strike was in
order, but instead of obeying tho mandate
he. cody run his train out. He is now
and Spring Hill.
The regular freight train from Garrison
arrived yesterday at Butte.
A "scab" named Smith attempted to as
sist in the hauling out OF the ore train last
evening from the Butte depot, and received
rather rough treatment at the hands Of the
mob.
The engineers. fremen and shop hands
have no special gri vance.
Owing to the blockade on the main line,
the passenger train from the South last
night was run into the salt siding.
Conductor West, OF the passenger train
from Garrison, received orders to side
track his train ut Silver Bow until the ore
train from Butte should pass, but the ore
train failed to materialize and the dis
gusted coLductor and passengers arrived
here an hour late.
The more conservative railroad men re-
gard the stopping OF passenger trains at
Eagle Rock as Il bad break"
Conductor Flanders, in charge OF the de-
ayed passenger train from the south, Gays
the trouble at Spring Hill is about settled.
