OBrien is so prejudiced that he can:
not render an impartial decision be
should resign. The evidence showed
conclusively that the defendants were
at least guilty of disturbance of the
peace, and for this they should have
been fined in a good round sum.
A FIREMAN's MISCHIEF.
l.. T. Wells, fireman on engine
1923, on Missouri Pacific east-bound
freight train No. 80, met with a Sc.
rious accident before daylight yester-
day morning, the cause of which is
shrouded in mystery. While ap.
preaching the bridge near Holden,
Wells had occasion to leave the cab
and mount the tender. Not return.
ing, after the train had travelled
about one mile, Engineer Cummings
stepped back and to bis horror beheld
Wells lying upon the coal. insensible,
with a cash four inches long on the
right side, near the crown of his head,
and his hair and head in a pool of
blood. Wells was brought to the hos
pital in this city and his wounds
dressed by DR.. King, who pronounces
the injuries serious but not necessa-
rily fatal. The wounded man was
delirious throughout the day, but de-
clares at all times that he was struck
by man, but can give no intelligent
description of the assailant or the
weapon used.
Engineer Cummings, however, ex-
presses himself as confident that the
fireman was struck by a timber on
the bridge, as his hat was found on
the approach, but the matter is not
and probably never will be solved.
THE ROASTING OF KNIGHTS.
From a gentleman who came in
from Hannibal last night the BAzoo
learns that an attempt was made
to run freight train out of that city
yesterday, but failed because the en-
CINE was found to have been so
tempered with that a leakage in the
fire box precluded the keeping up of
steam. The same gentleman stated
that several strikers, in conversing
with him, declared that the strike was
bound to continue that the Knights
of Labor were sufficiently strong to
take possession of the principle cities
of the country, including the national
capital, and that preparations were
now on foot to do so; that On a given
day the national armories would be
seized and the knights would then
take possession of the government and
the railroads, and run things to suit
themselves. When asked if he thought
the boosters were sane, the gentleman
laughed, but said they seemed sane
enough with the exception that they
appeared to honestly believe they
were telling the truth.
The following interesting interviews APP
peared in the Globe Democrat of yesterday.
